迷你對(duì)話
A: I have a mathematics problem that I cannot solve. Please have a look at it.
我有一個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)難題解答不出來(lái),請(qǐng)您幫我一下。
B: OK, wait a moment. Sorry, this is over my head.
好的,稍等一下。不好意思,這超出我能理解的范圍。
地道表達(dá)
over one’s head
1. 解詞釋義
Over one’s head的字面意思是說(shuō)“超過(guò)了我的頭”,引申為“超出了我理解的范圍”“超過(guò)某人的理解力”“理解不了”等。當(dāng)別人拿一些你看不懂的文章或書(shū)給你看時(shí),你就可以用這個(gè)短語(yǔ)。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. Last semester I signed up to take calculus, but I dropped out of class after two weeks --that kind of math is just too far over my head.
上學(xué)期我報(bào)名參加微積分那個(gè)班。但是,上了兩個(gè)禮拜課以后我就退出了。那種數(shù)學(xué)對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)實(shí)在是太難懂了。
e.g. I bought a personal computer a month ago and spent a lot time reading the manual. Butoperating this machine is over my head. I may have to sell it if I can't find anyone to help me.
一個(gè)月前我買了一臺(tái)電腦,花了好多時(shí)間來(lái)研究說(shuō)明書(shū)。但是,看來(lái)要弄明白怎么用電腦對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)實(shí)在是太難了。要是我找不到任何人可以幫忙的話,可能只好把它給賣了。
口語(yǔ)表達(dá)
1. 語(yǔ)義表述:學(xué)習(xí)某個(gè)學(xué)科遇到問(wèn)題,自己不能理解,解決不了。
句型:Sb. has a +科目+problem.
2. 語(yǔ)義表述:叫別人等一下自己。
短句:Wait a moment.
Ps 1:have a look的意思是“看一下,看看”,這里的look是名詞,相當(dāng)于look做動(dòng)詞的意思。例如:
May I have a look at your customs declaration? 我可以看一下您的入境申請(qǐng)報(bào)表嗎?
Let' s go into the garage and have a look at it. 咱們到汽車修配廠去看看吧。
Ps 2: solve+學(xué)科的名稱+problem的意思是“解決某個(gè)學(xué)科的難題或問(wèn)題”。例如:
Who can solve this English problem? 誰(shuí)能夠解答這個(gè)英語(yǔ)問(wèn)題?
