【課堂詳講】

“覆水難收”最早出現(xiàn)在南朝.宋.范曄寫(xiě)的《后漢書(shū). 何遷傳》,文中寫(xiě)道:“國(guó)家之事,亦何容易!覆水不能收,宜深思之。”后來(lái)演變?yōu)?ldquo;覆水難收”,一直沿用至今,成為家喻戶曉的一個(gè)成語(yǔ)。那么它是是什么意思呢?“覆水難收”顧名思義就是指潑在地上的水無(wú)法再收回,比喻事情已成定局,無(wú)法挽回。

So , “覆水難收”means "spilt water can't gathered up" and is compared to "what's done cannot be undone."However, we have a colourful sentence to express it. What's it? Let's listen to the following sentence: It's no use crying over spilled milk that you feel deeply depressed that you are not the first in the final examination for English. 你在英語(yǔ)期末考試中沒(méi)有獲得第一名感到懊悔沮喪,可是這是覆水難收,悔而無(wú)補(bǔ)呀!It's /no use/ crying over spilled milk/ that you /feel deeply depressed/ that you are not the first in the final examination/ for English. 親愛(ài)的聽(tīng)眾朋友,您覺(jué)得這句話中哪里表述出了“覆水難收,悔而不補(bǔ)”的意思呢?

它是一個(gè)句子,這個(gè)句子中含有連個(gè)重要的短語(yǔ),一個(gè)是:cry over, c-r-y, cry(哭),o-v-e-r, over(因?yàn)?,cry over意思是:因......而哭;一個(gè)是:spilled milk, s-p-i-l-l-e-d,spilled(打潑的,打翻的), m-i-l-k ,milk(牛奶),spilled milk意思就是:打潑在地上的牛奶。Spilled是實(shí)義動(dòng)詞spill的過(guò)去分詞,這里做形容詞,因?yàn)樗c被修飾的名詞milk存在著被動(dòng)關(guān)系。那么表示出“覆水難收,悔而無(wú)補(bǔ)”的意思的這個(gè)句子是:It's no use crying over spilled milk. 意思是:為打潑在地上的牛奶而哭沒(méi)有用。我們知道牛奶打潑在地上了,無(wú)論你是孫悟空使出千般招兒,牛奶也不會(huì)回到原處,還沒(méi)等到你的眼淚哭干,打翻在地上的牛奶就已經(jīng)蒸發(fā)干了。那么,哭有用嗎?Of course, it's no use.

It's no use crying over spilled milk.這句話中關(guān)鍵的短語(yǔ)是:cry over spilled milk. It means " to waste time worrying about something that has happened that cannot do anything about". 譯為:枉為無(wú)可挽回的事而擔(dān)憂;作無(wú)事于補(bǔ)的擔(dān)憂;作徒勞、無(wú)益的后悔,沮喪。It's no use crying over spilled milk. 引申為:對(duì)已成定局無(wú)法挽回的事兒后悔沮喪是徒勞,沒(méi)有用的。這正是我們中文說(shuō)的“覆水難收,悔而無(wú)補(bǔ)”。當(dāng)然,我們也可以用一個(gè)否定結(jié)構(gòu)的祈使句說(shuō):Don't cry over spilled milk.還有一種說(shuō)法我們?cè)谇拔奶峒?,它是:What's done cannot be undone.但是使用含有“cry over spilled milk”這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的句子更為地道。

此外,再詳說(shuō)一下這個(gè)句子:crying over spilled milk是動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)做真實(shí)主語(yǔ),it's no use中的it是形式主語(yǔ)。

那么當(dāng)您的朋友因挫敗而整天郁郁寡歡,茶飯不思,徹夜難眠時(shí),您不妨用這句話安慰他:“It's no use crying over spilled milk. ”“Don't cry over spilled milk.”“What's done cannot be undone.”覆水難收,悔而不補(bǔ)。木已成舟,悔而無(wú)補(bǔ)。不要做無(wú)益,徒勞的后悔了。

Let's look at two more sentences. 1 I am sorry for you! You are crying over your stolen wallet,since it happened, just let it go, you know —— it 's no use crying over spilled milk. 我非常理解你的心情,你的錢(qián)包被偷了,傷心掉淚,那么既然此事已經(jīng)發(fā)生,就忘掉吧,你知道的,覆水難收,后悔也無(wú)濟(jì)于事呀。(備注:be sorry for 對(duì)某人表示同情。stolen wallet這里是用steal的過(guò)去分詞來(lái)修飾wallet,它們之間存在著被動(dòng)關(guān)系。 Let it go.這個(gè)句子我們也可以說(shuō)為:Let bygones be bygones.)2 Don't cry over spilled milk, just be sure you won't make the same mistakes. 覆水難收,悔而無(wú)補(bǔ),記住別犯同樣的錯(cuò)誤就行了。

【課堂總結(jié)】

在今天的課堂上,我們學(xué)了表述“對(duì)已經(jīng)成事實(shí)而無(wú)法挽回的事兒傷心懊悔沒(méi)有益處,是徒勞”的說(shuō)法:It's no use crying over spilled milk. Don't cry over spilled milk. What's done cannot be undone. 就是中文的成語(yǔ)“覆水難收,悔而無(wú)補(bǔ)。”“木已成舟,于事無(wú)補(bǔ)。”前2個(gè)句子的關(guān)鍵短語(yǔ)是:cry over spilled milk 字面意思是:為打潑在地上的牛奶而哭,引申為:做徒勞,無(wú)益的后悔沮喪。此外,spill與milk 存在著被動(dòng)關(guān)系,要用spill的過(guò)去分詞來(lái)修飾milk這個(gè)名詞,cry over something也可以說(shuō)為cry about something,意思是:為......而哭。

親愛(ài)的聽(tīng)眾,你記住了嗎?I am sure you've done. So , please finish the exercises left if you are available after work. 記住在下班后如果有時(shí)間的話,最好完成留給您的習(xí)題練習(xí),學(xué)了不用很容易就忘記了。Practice makes perfect. If you practise it over and over , you can use it with ease. 熟能生巧。如果您不斷的反復(fù)練習(xí)所學(xué)的東西,那么到時(shí)候就運(yùn)用自如了。So , have a nice day. Thank you for your listening this time . See you! Thank you, listeners! See you!
