We've learnt four ways of telling somebody to keep a secret which are " Not a word. " ; " I am not one to kiss and tell. " ; " Keep it to yourself. " and " Keep your mouth shut. " And today I would like to share a new expression with you which means " Only you and I know. " which is way to say some information is very private. What's it? Let's listen to a simple situational dialogue and find it. A : Just between us . My marriage isn't going well . B : Are you fighting a lot with your husband?

【答疑解惑】

It is " Just between us ." We also can say "It's between you and me. " "It's between us. " "It's stays between us." "It stays here. " just 可以放在 between 和stay的前面，以表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。Just between us字面上的意思是：就在你和我之間。在口語(yǔ)中說(shuō)及秘密時(shí)，意思就是：這是你我之間的秘密(談話)，不要告訴別人。

【即學(xué)即用】

Let's put it into practice. Please translate the following sentences into English. 1 只有你和我知道這事。

2 好了，我有主意了，但是這是我們之間的秘密，行嗎?

3 在這里說(shuō)的話不要告訴別人。

Think them hard and the answers will be given later. 1 This is between you and me. 2 Alright , I got an idea. But it stays between us. Agreed ? 3 What's said here stays here. The above sentences are from hit American films . Here are some tips we should pay attention to. 1 Alright 就是 all right .但是在電影中經(jīng)常寫(xiě)為:Alright.在《老友記》里面 come on 就寫(xiě)為: c'mon. 2 Get an idea 意思是：想到一個(gè)注意。

3 Agreed 是個(gè)省略句。完整的句子是：Do you agree? 在影視腳本語(yǔ)言中，如果直接用實(shí)義動(dòng)詞來(lái)提問(wèn)，相當(dāng)于一般疑問(wèn)句， 那么就用這個(gè)實(shí)義動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去式。We've learnt "Do you understand?" 在影視中就是：Understood?

【聽(tīng)透美語(yǔ)】

Please listen to me to read the dialogue to see the differences between my pronunciation and the pronunciation in the recording. 請(qǐng)聽(tīng)我的發(fā)音與錄音的發(fā)音有什么區(qū)別。

A: Just between us. My marriage isn't going well. B: Are you fighting a lot with your husband?

I will give explanations to you one by one. 1 just between us ['d??sbtwi:n?s] 【點(diǎn)撥】just 以爆破輔音[t]結(jié)尾， between 又以爆破輔音 [d] 開(kāi)頭，因此前一個(gè)爆破輔音[t] 這時(shí)就要保持沉默了。Between 以輔音[n] 結(jié)尾, us 以元音 [ ?] 開(kāi)頭，可以進(jìn)行連讀。 The stress falls on the first syllable .

2 isn't going [[i'zn'g?ui?]

【點(diǎn)撥】isn't 以爆破輔音[t]結(jié)尾，而going 又以 爆破輔音[g] 開(kāi)頭，因此前面的[t]不發(fā)音。The stresses fall on the second and the third syllable. 3 with you [wieju:] 【點(diǎn)撥】with 以輔音[e]結(jié)尾，you的發(fā)音半元音[ju:], 可以進(jìn)行連讀。

4 fighting ['fa?din]

【點(diǎn)撥】美語(yǔ)中[t??]發(fā)音為[din]. 句子中的連讀濁音等一要看規(guī)則，而要就住特例。

Let's look at the stresses in the following sentences. They depends on a conversational dialogue in which how the speaker's mood is and your language sense .

1 'Just between us . 2 My 'marriage i'sn't 'going 'well .

3 Are you 'fighting a 'lot with 'your 'husband?

一個(gè)句子的重音判斷一要看整個(gè)對(duì)話的情景，說(shuō)話者的語(yǔ)氣，還有一個(gè)很重要的是我們的語(yǔ)感。

【小題大作】

My marriage isn't going well . 【翻譯】我的婚姻不如意。

【關(guān)鍵詞】In this sentence "go" which is a key word refers to progress. It's used to talk about how well or badly something makes progress or succeeds. 意思是：(事情)進(jìn)展，進(jìn)行。We'er very familiar with the two sentences orally which are : Did everything go smoothly? 一切都順利嗎?How's it going? It goes well. 近況如何?很好。

【文法】這句中用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)表示經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的情況。Well 是副詞，修飾 go，做狀語(yǔ)，表程度。

Are you fighting a lot with your husband?

【翻譯】你經(jīng)常和你丈夫吵架嗎?

【關(guān)鍵詞】In this sentence "fight" means "to have an argument ". Here is a set phrase which is " fight with somebody about something", about 可以改為over, 意思是：因某事和某人吵架，爭(zhēng)辯。For example: It's a trivial matter and not worth fighting about. 這是樁小事，不值得爭(zhēng)吵。

【文法】此句中用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)表示經(jīng)常發(fā)生的事情。A lot 是副詞短語(yǔ)修飾fight , 表頻率。With your husband 是介詞短語(yǔ)，修飾fight, 表對(duì)象。
