各位親愛(ài)的聽(tīng)眾朋友,這里是晨間7點(diǎn)檔“話說(shuō)地道美語(yǔ)”,我是Juliet。非常高興與您在這美麗的清晨相見(jiàn)。
【課前熱身】
First of all , let's have a review. 在第七課中我們學(xué)了與“be scared to death”的地道美語(yǔ)說(shuō)法,大家還記得嗎?它們是:make one's hair stand on, 嚇得某人的毛發(fā)豎起來(lái);make one's blood run cold 嚇得某人渾身冰涼;scare the shit out of somebody (scare somebody shitless)嚇得某人屁滾尿流。與之同義的中文四字短語(yǔ)有:嚇得(毛骨悚然,不寒而栗,膽戰(zhàn)心驚,魂飛魂散,攝人心寒等等)。
【本課主題】
現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始第8課的學(xué)習(xí)。Lesson eight How to say “渾身下上”in real American English? 第八課:渾身上下,美語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)?Let's listen to the following sentence: Louise is the one in red over there from head to toe. Louise就是在那兒的那位穿一身紅衣服的人。Louise /is the one/ in red/ over there /from head to toe. 聽(tīng)眾朋友,在這個(gè)句子中哪里表示出“渾身上下”的意思?
【主題詳說(shuō)】
它是一個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ),含有我們身體的部位,一個(gè)是head, h-e-a-d , 腦袋,一個(gè)是toe, t-o-e, 腳趾間,這個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)是:from head to toe,從頭到腳,渾身上下。In English it means" covering one's whole body".
Let's look at two more sentences. 1 They looked me over from head to toe. 他們從頭到腳打量了我一番。(備注:"Look over" means "examine",查看,檢查。Can you look over my composition for me?你能幫我檢查一下我的作文嗎?The bell rang before I could look over my answers.我還沒(méi)來(lái)得及看一下答案鈴就響了。None of us will ever have to look over our shoulders again.我們都不必再戰(zhàn)戰(zhàn)兢兢地過(guò)日子了。)2 She was mildly bloated from head to toe. 她渾身上下輕微浮腫。
Look at this sentence: I admired her from head to toe. In this sentence, what does "from head to toe" mean? It means "very much , completely or thoroughly, etc.". 在這句話中,from head to toe的意思是由其基本意思而引申出來(lái)的意思:非常地,極度地,徹底徹尾地,完全所有地,and so on.
Let's look at two more sentences. 1 Mary if perfect from head to toe. Mary 真是完美極了,毫無(wú)瑕疵。2 John loves Mary from head to toe. John愛(ài)Mary愛(ài)得神魂顛倒(暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向)。
【本課總結(jié)】
Let's have a summary. 在今天的課堂上,我們學(xué)了“渾身上下”以及由之而引申出來(lái)的“徹底徹尾”的表述:from head to toe,我們也可是說(shuō)是:from head to feet. 此外,掌握一個(gè)短語(yǔ): look over 檢查,查看。還有一個(gè)在戀愛(ài)中可以用的句子:Somebody loves somebody from head to toe. 某人愛(ài)某人愛(ài)得神魂顛倒(暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向)。 親愛(ài)的聽(tīng)眾朋友們,您記住了嗎?I am sure you have done. 那么Juliet下次再跟您相會(huì)了。See you!
