【復(fù)習(xí)】
First of all , let's have a review. Last time we learned "The cat's out of the bag." which means "to tell a secret and make many people know it ". And today I want to emphasize that the secrete told by someone is a great and an important one and it's uncover careless and by mistake. We should get knowledge of it more carefully and exactly so that we can make an exact use of it. 今天我想強(qiáng)調(diào)一點(diǎn)的是我們昨天學(xué)的習(xí)語使用的情景。這個(gè)被傳開的秘密是個(gè)很大的秘密很重要的秘密，而且泄露出去時(shí)無意的，不是有意的。If have an intention to tell a secret, we cannot use it. 如果你是惡意傳出去的，就不能用這個(gè)句子了。The cat's out of the bag is similar to saying in Chinese: 秘密被傳開了;秘密被揭穿了;泄露了天機(jī)。Something like those above.

【關(guān)鍵句子】
1 That movie star and his wife are divorcing.
【翻譯】那位影星和他的妻子正在鬧離婚。
【關(guān)鍵詞】
"Divorce" is the key word in this sentence which means "end your marriage legally". For example: She is divorcing her husband.他正在和她的丈夫鬧離婚。這個(gè)句子也可是這樣說：She and her husband are divorcing. They are getting divorced. 他們要離婚了。 Divorced 是動(dòng)詞 divorce 的過去分詞，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)作為形容詞用了。意思是：離婚的，脫離的。As for “脫離”二字，here's a set phrase--divorce something or somebody from something. But this phrase is often used in passive voice. It means "separate a person, an idea, a subject, etc. from something."意思是：使分離，使脫離。For example: I think that art should be divorced from politics. 我認(rèn)為藝術(shù)應(yīng)該與政治分開。When she was depressed, she felt utterly divorced from reality. 當(dāng)她沮喪時(shí)，她感到與現(xiàn)實(shí)完全脫離。
