  Explanation:

  釋義

  Denis: Hey Linda! Do you know the meaning of the phrase “call off’?

  Denis:嘿,LInda!你知道“call off”這個短語是什么意思嗎?

  Linda: Yes, I think so. It means to either cancel something or to stop something that is already happening.

  Linda:嗯,知道。意思是取消某物或叫停進(jìn)行中的某物。

  Denis: Can you give me an example?

  Denis:你能給我舉個例子嗎?

  Linda: Yeah sure. Like if I say “Let’s call off the meeting”. It means that I’m canceling a meeting that had been planned already.

  Linda:嗯,當(dāng)然可以。如果我說“會議取消。”意思是說我要取消一個事先安排好的會議。

  Denis: Oh okay. I get it. So, if I say that the concert had to be called off because the singer was sick, it means that the concert has been canceled.

  Denis:哦,好。我明白了。那,如果我說“歌手身體抱恙,音樂會不得不取消。”意思就是說演唱會不舉行了。

  Linda: Yes, correct.

  Linda:嗯,對了。

  Denis: We could use it to tell someone to stop something that is already happening.

  Denis:我們可以用這個短語來讓某人停下來別再做正在做的事了。

  Linda: Yes that’s right. Now let’s watch some conversations with more examples.

  Linda:嗯,對。現(xiàn)在我們看看對話里的例子吧。

  Raven: Andrea取消了婚禮。

  Chelsey: Whoa! Did something happen so that they had to call off the wedding?

  Chelsey:哇!發(fā)生什么事了嗎,才要取消婚禮?

  Raven: I really don’t know. But I think they had a fight.

  Raven: 這我真不知道。但是我想他們吵了一架。

  Chelsey: They should’ve resolved it instead of calling off the wedding.

  Chelsey:他們應(yīng)該解決那個問題,而不是取消婚禮。

  Raven: I think they’ve made up their minds and their decision is probably final.

  Raven: 我想他們已經(jīng)下定決心了,一錘定音了。

  Chelsey: Well, it’s their lives. They make their own choices.
