DIALOG 26
BARRY IS UNUSUAL
1--Have you met Barry?
2--I think so, but I don't remember what he looks
like.
1--He's a most unusual person.
2--What do you mean by unusual?
3--You'll understand when you see him.
2--You mean it's his physical appearance?
1--Not exactly. There's a certain way that he has of
speaking and choosing his words that's unique.
But that's not what I'm talking about.
3--That's part of it. But it goes beyond speech. I
guess it's what some people call "charisma".
2--Oh, that. Now I know what you're talking about.
I'm just full of it!
1--Ha,ha.Big joke!
===================================
注解：
1）most=very常用來加強(qiáng)語氣。如：It's most kind of you!/
He thanked her for a most enjoyable party./It's most
dangerous to drive drunk.
2）There's a certain way...unique：此句中的兩個that
從句都是way的定語從句。第一個從句說：he has a certain
way of speaking and choosing his words。第二個從句說
his way is unique.unique：獨(dú)特的；獨(dú)一無二的。
3）go beyond speech：難于用語言表達(dá)。類似的短語有：
beyond words/beyond expression/beyond description
4）charisma：超凡的魅力，神授的能力。
