大家好!廣播學(xué)口語(yǔ)又和您見面了.不知道你過(guò)得怎么樣.Andy可是有了一點(diǎn)小麻煩. 那 就讓Andy和大家說(shuō)說(shuō)吧.
(音樂(lè))
自從Andy被剝奪了財(cái)政大權(quán)后,行動(dòng)受到了極大的限制,可不久Andy就學(xué)乖了.偷偷的留 了一個(gè)小金庫(kù).終于,今天又和朋友們坐到一起吃了一頓,但是一身酒氣的回家,自然會(huì)讓 老婆發(fā)現(xiàn).
Andy came close to tell her the whole truth, but then he changed his mind: “my friend treated me.” “Really? I read you as a book: you will give the shirt off your back.” (Andy差一點(diǎn)就把情況向妻子和盤托出了,可是很快他打消了這個(gè)念頭:“朋友請(qǐng)了我一頓.”“真的嗎?我對(duì)你太了解了,你連襯衫都可 以脫給別人”). "give the shirt off your back"連襯衫都可以脫給別人,可見這人有多少的慷慨. 這里的意思就是"慷慨成性".
Andy always gives shirt to others off his back. No wonder his wife doesn’t believe that he can let his friend pay the bill.( Andy是一個(gè)慷慨的家伙.怪不得老婆不相信是朋友為他付的錢.)
(音樂(lè))
就Andy的小金庫(kù)的問(wèn)題,妻子好好的給他上了一課,直到最后Andy求饒:"I know I made a mistake but can you cushion the below? "cushion"是什么意思呢.本意是墊子. 那么在下面墊個(gè)墊子,即是說(shuō),"說(shuō)話溫柔一些.以免打擊太重了".
Andy said:"I know I made a mistake but can you cushion the below? "(我知道 我錯(cuò)了,但你說(shuō)話的時(shí)候委婉一點(diǎn)行嗎).這就可見說(shuō)話委婉好處了吧.
一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的老師從不會(huì)劈頭蓋臉的把他的學(xué)生批評(píng)一通的.而是委婉的教導(dǎo)他的學(xué)生.怪不得多年以后他的學(xué)生們說(shuō):"Although I made a lot of mistakes,my teacner cushioned the below instead of criticizing me seriously in the class,so I confessed the mistakes I made and became a good student .I love my teacher. ( 雖然我做了很錯(cuò)事兒,但老師并沒(méi)有當(dāng)著全班同學(xué)的面批評(píng)我.只是委婉的給我指了出 來(lái).于是我承認(rèn)了我的錯(cuò)誤并成為一個(gè)好學(xué)生.我愛我的老師.)
(音樂(lè))
今天我們學(xué)習(xí)了兩個(gè)句子來(lái)看一下:
(1)You will give the shirt off your back.你是個(gè)慷慨成性的家伙.
(2)Can you cushion the below?說(shuō)話委婉點(diǎn)好嗎.
好了,讓我們下次再見!
