【小題大作】
1 This isn't easy for me to tell you.
【翻譯】我跟你說有些難度。
【文法】to tell you 動詞不定時做easy的補足語。For me 介詞短語作狀語。
2 Spit it out.
【翻譯】全都說出來吧。
【關鍵詞】Spit是個閉音節,它的現在分詞,過去式和過去分詞是屬于不規則那類的。他們分別是: spitts, spitting, spat, spat. It means "force liquid , food out of your mouth". 有的人在腸胃嚴重不舒適時,一吃東西就吐出來。She took a mouthful of food and then spit it out. 他吃了一口東西又吐出來了。We can get a phrase"spit something out'. 嘔吐。在我們在電影中常看到,一人對另一人發火或是鄙視對方時,就會朝他身上吐口水。這是我們就可以用:spit it at(on) somebody or something. It means force saliva from your mouth as a sign of anger or lack of respect. 監獄的犯人是被看不起來的。 The guard spat on the prisoner. 看守員向犯人身上吐口水。
【文法】out是副詞,做it的補足語。
3 I am dying to know about that.
【翻譯】我很想知道它。
【關鍵詞】Die在這句話中是個習語,"be dying for something "or "be dying to do something". It means "to want something or want to do something very much". 當你跑步累了,你就會說:I'm dying for a glass of water. 我真想喝杯水。有的人說話就只說一半來掉你的癮兒,這是你就會說:I'm dying to what happened after that. 我很想知道那件事兒完后,又發生了什么事情。
By the way I would like to share a saying including die which is used to say that has happened or a decision have been made that cannot changed. Guess what it is in Chinese. It is "木已成舟",就是事情已成定局。這個諺語是:The die is cast.
【關鍵短語】know about something 知曉,知道,了解,也可以用know of. For example: I knew of at least two people did the same thing. 我知道至少有兩人做過同樣的事情。這個人知名度很高,我們常說:I’ve known about you for a long time. 久仰了。
1 不管你怎樣。I don't know about you, but I'm ready for something to eat. 不管你怎樣,反正我是要吃些東西。
2 據我所知沒有了。"Is there anyone else coming?""Not that I know of."還有人要來么?據我所知沒有了。
3 我怎么知道呢?"Isn't that his car?""I wouldn't know."那不是他的車嗎?我怎么會知道了。It's similar to saying "How should I know?"
4 你還是不知道的好。"What are you two whispering about?""You don't want to know."你們倆在說什么悄悄話兒?你還是不知道的為好。
Alright, that's enough for now. May you have a nice day. Thank you for your listening this time. See you next time.
