一天之計在于晨,若您有個美好的晨間生活,相信您一天的生活都是美好的,您的內(nèi)心會由此生發(fā)快樂之感的。A hard beginning makes a good ending. 常言道:善始善終。
【溫故知新】
Last time we learned "You have got to come clean with me." which is used to ask somebody to tell the truth when lying.
1 你得和他說實話。
You are gonna come clean with her.
2 你要做的就是說實話,提供協(xié)助。
What you need is to come clean and cooperation.
3 我知道是誰做的,你得和我說實話。
I know who did this. So, you might as well come clean with me.
下面的幾道附加翻譯題都是關(guān)于浪漫的“約會”的,我們就來看看“浪漫約會”中您可以說些什么話兒。
1 約會時你喜歡談?wù)撌裁?
What do you like to talk about when on a date?
2 當(dāng)單身男女最后相見時,他們在約會時都做些什么呢?
When single people finally get together, what do they do on a date?
【點評】這一句get together 和 on a date 同意,在一句話中同樣的意思使用不同的短語來表達(dá),讓讀者看起來不厭煩。
3 他約她出去過一回,可是他們好像不大合得來。
He took her out on a date but they didn't really hit it off.【點評】take somebody out on a date這個短語中take somebody out這個短語“把某人帶出來”再加上介詞短語on a date來表示“某人主動約某人出去過(談戀愛)”,hit it off 是個精彩的短語了,意思是:一拍即合。
4 沒有一個女孩子喜歡跟羅杰約會,因為他是個吝嗇鬼。
None of the girls like to go on a date with Roger because he is a cheap skate.
【點評】go on a date with somebody這個短語中的go 加上介詞短語on a date表示出“去幽會”“赴約”。A cheap skate這是個精彩的俚語,it means "somebody is mean".
5 那也沒什麼。反正她們也沒有人會跟我出來約會!
That's no big thing. None of them would go on a date with me anyway!
【點評】That's no big thing. "No big thing" means " It doesn't matter." 不礙事兒。還可以說“no big deal”.
