线话英语|2015-05-08 15:32:30

Jessica在北京学汉语,她的中国友人要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词,就会来求教她。今天口语交际训练是Lulu要问的是:抓狂。


Jessica: Morning Lulu!

Lulu: Jessica!! 我必须跟你说说,我都快气去世了!

Jessica: 你怎么啦?

Lulu: 还不是我室友!她特别不自发,我所有的洗发水,擦脸油都随便用,还动不动就带男友回家!我都快要抓狂了!抓狂!scratch crazy!

Jessica: haha... 抓狂不是 scratch crazy, 你能够说,she's pushing me over the edge

Lulu: over the edge?(猜猜这个口语交际训练短语为什么可以表达”抓狂"呢?)

Jessica: 对,edge is spelled e-d-g-e,edge 边缘。My roommate always brings her boyfriend over to our apartment. I feel like I'm living with a couple. It's really pushing me over the edge。

Lulu: push somebody over the edge,就是使某人抓狂。这么说来,她可真是push me over the edge! 昨天她又把男友人带回公寓,我忠告她说,这是最后一次了!我受够你了!这又该怎么说呢?

 



Jessica: Oh, You can say: that's the final straw

Lulu: final straw, 这个说法真形象!好,我今天回去就再这么告诉她一次!

Jessica: You know what Lulu, my roommate is actually doing the same thing. She always uses my things, it's really annoying! You and I arein the same boat

Lulu: in the same boat? 咱们在一条船上?哦我明白了,就是说咱们处境雷同,对过错?

Jessica: That's right! We both have annoying roommates -- we're in the same boat. Now, tell me what you've learned today!

我们今天的口语交际训练主要学到的短语有:

Lulu: 第一:使某人抓狂叫 push somebody over the edge;

第二,忠告说这是最后一次,我受够了你了,可能讲 that's the final straw;

第三,处境相同,叫 in the same boat。
