I'm so excited because we are heading for Singapore this Friday night.But packing is really a tough job.
我太兴奋了,周五晚上我们就要去新加坡了。可是收拾行李真是个体力活。
Don't worry. I will go to help you do the packing and drive you to the airport on Friday.
不用担心,周五我去帮你打包,然后开车送你去机场。
重点讲解:
Packing is a laborious job.
Packing is really a tough job.
形容词laborious的意思是“费力的,吃力的,牵强的”,用在这里并没有错,但是laborious常作为书面语出现,口语中用到比较多的是tough。除了表示 “费力的”意思之外,tough还有“坚韧的”、“咬不动的”、“顽固的”意思,在日常用语中使用广泛。
