英語口語練習(xí)小對話 第66期:決裂分手
迷你對話：
A:What will happen to the children if you break up?
如果你們分手了，孩子們怎么辦?
B:That's a relief for me and a misery for the children.
對我來說這是解脫，對孩子來說是一場災(zāi)難。
A:Why don't you make up with John.
為什么不試著和John講和呢?
B:It's too late.
太遲了。
地道表達(dá)：
break up
小編講解：
該短語原意是“分散，分離”，引申為“關(guān)系破裂”，多用來指“夫妻離婚”。
支持范例：
Eg.Why did you and Rohda break up?
你和羅達(dá)為什么決裂了?
Eg.The break up of their marriage was an enormous liberation for her.

在你受傷之前最好早點(diǎn)跟你那個差勁的男朋友分手。
Eg.You are not an honest man, I have decided to break up with you.

詞海拾貝：
1. make up with：與.....重歸于好，與.....言歸于好
