迷你對(duì)話學(xué)地道口語第466期:注意聽
迷你對(duì)話
A: Sir, would you like to have brocoli?
先生，要不要來點(diǎn)綠花椰菜?
B: Read my lips. I don’t like it.
注意聽，我不喜歡這個(gè)菜。
地道表達(dá)
read one’s lips
1. 解詞釋義
Read my lips字面意思是“讀我的嘴唇”，但是真正的含義是“給我聽好了”。例如別人約你時(shí)會(huì)說：Do youwant to hand out with me tonight?意思是：你今晚想不想跟我在一起啊?如果這個(gè)人是個(gè)令人討厭的家伙的話，你就可以回答他：Read my lips. No. 老美在講這句話時(shí)，會(huì)放慢語速，好吧NO的唇形給展現(xiàn)出來，表達(dá)他們不愿意的程度。其英文解釋為：to manage to understand speech by watching andinterpreting the movements of the speaker's lips。
2. 典型范例
e.g. I couldn't hear her but I could read her lips.
我聽不到他說什么，但是我可以盡力去聽。
e.g. I'll read the text through once and you read my lips.
我把課文從頭到尾讀一遍，你們仔細(xì)聽。
Ps：Would you like to do something?這個(gè)句型用來詢問他人想做某事嗎?例如：
Would you like to come to have lunch tomorrow? 明天請(qǐng)你來吃午飯，好嗎?
