随着英语这种语言的普及,英语水平成了大学生走向社会的通行证。为帮助大学生轻松掌握英语知识,特提供以下文章:


L:Michael,感谢你带我到Meadowlands来看冰球,Meadowlands可是有名的处所呐!而且我从来还没有看过冰球呢

(Starting buzzer)

M: Sometimes these games get really rough!

L:我也风闻了,他们说冰球角逐有时很粗暴,经常会打架。

M: Wow, look at them! It's only five minutes into the game and they are already pushing and shoving.

L:是啊,他们已经起头推推轻柔,真的打起来了。人们都说冰球角逐有时会很粗暴,可是才起头五分钟就打架,这可是不多见。

M: Yeah, they really need to keep cool out there.

L:Michael, 这是冰球,在冰上打球,那时是冷的咯,你在说什么呀?

M: Li Hua, that's not what I meant. Keep cool means to calm down。Keep, means to hold and cool, meaning cold.

L:噢,keep cool就是要沉着一点,你是嗣魅这些球员不要火气那么大,需要连结沉着。对,他们若是老打架,最好的球员就会被禁止打球的。

M: Yeah. Another example, remember last week when you got into an argument with the professor over your mid-term grade?

L:我才不会健忘上礼拜的事呐。阿谁教授给我期中考试打那么低的分数,我当然要跟他争嘛。

M: Right now Li Hua, you need to keep cool.

L:是,一说起这件事,我就会生气。得了,得了,不谈这个了吧!

M: I can't believe how poorly they are playing.

L:你说他们打得不浩揭捉??说真话,我根柢看不懂。我只知道当地的球队输了三分,这就输了良多啦!

M: Yeah, they have really managed to screw up this game.

L:“Screw up”,我不懂,这是什么意思?

M: "Screw up" means not to play well. The home team is certainly messing up.

L:噢,“Screw up”就是打得欠好。

M: "Screw up," it means to mess up

L:是不是只能说打球时,或加入行为角逐时犯了错误?

M: No, it can be used to describe a lot of things. For example, I screw up on tests all the time.

L:噢,你考试老考糟也能用screw up来暗示呀!这么说,“screw up”可以用典型围很广。若是说一小我工作没有做好呢?

M: He screwed up at work.

L:你老是和别人的关系搞欠好,也能说是screw up吧?

M: Yes, that's why I don't date anymore. Because I screw up all the time.

L:原本是因为老跟别人搞欠好关系,所以你就不交女伴侣了。Michael,你也别跟自己过分不去了。

M: I do screw up a lot; I make mistakes all the time.

L:我们都犯错误的,谁能犯警错误啊!

M: Look, they are playing like that! What is wrong with these players.

L:嗨,这些球员真的很糟糕,你看,他们已经输了四分啦!

M: I hate this! They can't manage not to screw up tonight.  L:Michael, 尽管他们screw up,我们仍是要keep cool! 也许还有但愿扭转排场境界。
