《小王子》Chapter 1 中有哪些表达可以运用到雅思口语中?
1 After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion. 在那之后,他们动弹不了了,还通过睡6个月来消化。
(这里的sleep through 特别好,好在时间这种概念就被想象成一个隧道了,然后用睡觉的方式穿过隧道呢。英语课话题:sleep through an English class,演讲话题: sleep through a speech, 噪音话题:没有噪音于是sleep through a beautiful night)
2 I made another drawing. 我又画了一幅画。(这句话好在喜欢用make,put, throw,give等简单动词 配上名词。大部分同学会说:I drew another picture. 但其实英文非常喜欢把动词转化成名词使用。我们再举些例子吧:我很鄙视地看着他。你怎么说呢?是说成I looked at him contemptuously[kən'temptjuəsli]. 其实我没猜错的话,这个时候,你不造怎么说鄙视这个词。而我们会直接讲I threw him a dirty look. 这个时候看也是用了名词形式。再举个例子:你猜一下嘛。Can you make a guess. 而不是Can you guess it.如果一个单词本身可以既可以做动词,又可以做名词,那么做名词时就用这个词本身,如:look本身可以做动词,可以作名词;如果一个单词本身只能做动词,那就找一个它的名词形式,如:draw的名词时drawing)
3 They always need to have things explained. 他们总是需要解释事情。( 这里体现了英文喜欢用被动哦。)大家可能会说:They always need to explain things. 以后想要修车就是have my car repaired 而不是repair my car
4 Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One. 每次我看到一个似乎比较有清晰判断力的人,我就把我的第一幅画给他看。(clear-sighted 可以用来修饰任何人物题,老师,父母,明星,邻居等)
clear-sighted
1.ADJ If you describe someone as clear-sighted, you admire them because they are able to understand situations well and to make sensible judgments and decisions about them. 有清晰判断能力的表赞许
例:
Try to keep a clear-sighted view of your objective.
试着对你的目标保持一个清晰的视角。
