【詳說關鍵句子】
Let's learn the key sentences in the dialogue.
1 I am so board .
【翻譯】真是無聊。
【要點】bored 是動詞bore 的過去分詞,意思是: 無聊的,厭煩的,作為形容詞用了,但是它有個過去分詞boring , 意思是令人厭煩的,無聊的,乏味的。那我們如何運用呢?如果主語是指物,就用boring, 主語是人,就是bored. Let's look at some more example sentence s : He rattled on about his job, not noticing how bored she was. 他只顧喋喋不休地說自己工作上的事,沒注意到她有多麼膩煩。I'm rather bored by the rumor. 這謠傳我真聽厭煩了。This is one of the few gratifications of an otherwise boring job. 這是枯燥的工作中少有的一項樂趣。
2 You're not satisfied with your new job.
【翻譯】你對你的工作不滿意。
【要點】be satisfied with is a set phrase. Satisfied 是動詞 satisfy 的過去分詞,意思是:感到滿意的, satisfying是 satisfy的現在分詞, 意思是:令人滿意的, 兩個都是形容詞。那我們怎么用呢?道理同上面所說到的boring 和 bored是一樣的. 主語是物,用現在分詞。主語是人,就用過去分詞。For example: I am not at all satisfied with the present situation. 我對現狀根本不滿意。Let me reassure you( that) your service is quite satisfying. 讓我向您保證,您的服務是很令人滿意的。
3 Your new job sounds too good to be true- interesting work, high pay, short hours. Is there any fly in the ointment?
【翻譯】你的新工作真是太好了:有趣味,薪水高,工作時間短。還有什么不足之處嗎?
【要點】
1 too...to 是太......以至于不能做某事的意思。我認為文中的句子直譯還不準確,確切的翻譯我覺得是:你的新工作真是好,好得讓人簡直不敢相信是真的。For example : The boy is still too young to go to school. 小男孩還不到上學年齡。
2 a fly in the ointment 用于疑問句中,a 就要改為any. A在肯定句中也可以為the, 這個短語fly錢的冠詞不是一層不變的。For example: The only fly in the ointment was the bad weather.唯一美中不足之處是惡劣的天氣。
3 interesting work, high pay, short hours在句子中做的是主語job的補足語。
3 But I have no freedom.
【翻譯】可是我沒有自由。
【要點】這句可以這樣說: I don't have any freedom.
