英語(yǔ)早間課堂:Out with you.

Morning!I am Juliet. Nice to meet you through network. Hope we could spend a wonderful morning together. An hour in the morning is worth two hours in the evening.

一天之計(jì)在于晨，若您有個(gè)美好的晨間生活，相信您一天的生活都是美好的，您的內(nèi)心會(huì)由此生發(fā)快樂(lè)之感的。A hard beginning makes a good ending. 常言道：善始善終。

【溫故知新】

Last time we learned "You have got to come clean with me." which is used to ask somebody to tell the truth when lying.

1 你得和他說(shuō)實(shí)話。

You are gonna come clean with her.

2 你要做的就是說(shuō)實(shí)話，提供協(xié)助。

What you need is to come clean and cooperation.

3 我知道是誰(shuí)做的，你得和我說(shuō)實(shí)話。

I know who did this. So, you might as well come clean with me.

下面的幾道附加翻譯題都是關(guān)于浪漫的“約會(huì)”的，我們就來(lái)看看“浪漫約會(huì)”中您可以說(shuō)些什么話兒。

1 約會(huì)時(shí)你喜歡談?wù)撌裁?

What do you like to talk about when on a date?

2 當(dāng)單身男女最后相見(jiàn)時(shí)，他們?cè)诩s會(huì)時(shí)都做些什么呢?

When single people finally get together, what do they do on a date?

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】這一句get together 和 on a date 同意，在一句話中同樣的意思使用不同的短語(yǔ)來(lái)表達(dá)，讓讀者看起來(lái)不厭煩。

3 他約她出去過(guò)一回，可是他們好像不大合得來(lái)。

He took her out on a date but they didn't really hit it off.【點(diǎn)評(píng)】take somebody out on a date這個(gè)短語(yǔ)中take somebody out這個(gè)短語(yǔ)“把某人帶出來(lái)”再加上介詞短語(yǔ)on a date來(lái)表示“某人主動(dòng)約某人出去過(guò)(談戀愛(ài))”，hit it off 是個(gè)精彩的短語(yǔ)了，意思是：一拍即合。

4 沒(méi)有一個(gè)女孩子喜歡跟羅杰約會(huì)，因?yàn)樗莻€(gè)吝嗇鬼。

None of the girls like to go on a date with Roger because he is a cheap skate.

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】go on a date with somebody這個(gè)短語(yǔ)中的go 加上介詞短語(yǔ)on a date表示出“去幽會(huì)”“赴約”。A cheap skate這是個(gè)精彩的俚語(yǔ)，it means "somebody is mean".

5 那也沒(méi)什麼。反正她們也沒(méi)有人會(huì)跟我出來(lái)約會(huì)!

That's no big thing. None of them would go on a date with me anyway!

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】That's no big thing. "No big thing" means " It doesn't matter." 不礙事兒。還可以說(shuō)“no big deal”.
