嗨!大家好!廣播學(xué)口語(yǔ)又準(zhǔn)時(shí)和大家見(jiàn)面了。今天我們的句子又是和器官有關(guān)的:I‘ll play it by ear. 另一個(gè)則是一個(gè)秘密:I will not break my word. 欲知謎底,音樂(lè)后馬上揭曉!
(音樂(lè))
I‘ll play it by ear. 用耳朵演奏嗎?這是它的原意。是說(shuō)有些技藝很高超的人,他們演奏時(shí)不看樂(lè)譜,只要憑自己的記憶就可以了。這里引申為見(jiàn)機(jī)行事。比如在公司的會(huì)上,你沒(méi)有絲毫準(zhǔn)備就被邀請(qǐng)講話,你就只好坦言:“I‘ve no time to prepare for the meeting, so I’ll play it by ear.”(我沒(méi)有事前準(zhǔn)備,只好有什么說(shuō)什么了。)
不過(guò)這樣的情況用在女朋友身上比較合適。Being with your girlfried,you should have the ability to play it by ear. It is helpful for you to have her smile.(和她在一起你應(yīng)該見(jiàn)機(jī)行事, 以搏紅顏一笑。)記住了?
(音樂(lè))
閑話少說(shuō),接下來(lái)揭曉今天的謎底。I will not break my word. 到底是什么意思呢?別急,word在這里指我們所說(shuō)的“話”。break呢,原意是打破打碎,這里可不是說(shuō)我說(shuō)話結(jié)結(jié)巴巴的。break one’s word 的意思是食言。所以今天的謎底就是我不會(huì)再食言了 。
以前總是先許諾, 后食言。終于把女友給惹急了,“Why do you say you will not break your word and do it again and again?Is that just off the top of your head?I‘ve never thought you are such a person!”(你怎么說(shuō)永不食言而一次又一次的這樣做呢?隨口說(shuō)說(shuō)嗎?真不知道你是這樣的人!)
可是你知道嗎?To succeed in the future, the first thing you should learn is not to break your word. You should keep your word. That’s very important. (想成功,首先要學(xué)會(huì)的就是不能食言。要信守諾言,這非常重要!)
(音樂(lè))
時(shí)間也差不多了,Andy還要去哄人,再見(jiàn)吧!
