課堂答疑:
1、哼哼老師好,請教您一下。
A:Let's go to a bar!
B:How about watching a movie?
或者 B:What about watching a movie?
碰到類似的上下文語境時,對方回答How about watching a movie?比較好理解,要是回答What about watching a movie?,那是不是根據對方的語氣和語調等等其它什么,才能判斷是不是反對或不太喜歡go to a bar的提議呢?
謝謝老師。
2、兩位老師好,我有一個問題希望你們能夠答疑解惑:
Good place for smoking——吸煙的好地方
Some people have a knack for remembering faces. Others, according to this e-mail I received at work, go them one better: "The only designated smoking area at Building One is at the picnic benches, under the covered area, where the butt distinguishers are."
譯文:有些人在記住別人的臉孔方面很有一手。 其他人,根據在上班時收到一封電郵,是有過之而無不及,電郵上寫道:“一號樓唯一指定的吸煙區是在燒烤長凳那里,就在遮蓋區的下面,煙頭感應器就在那里。”
這是一個笑話,譯文是機翻的,請問Henry老師能不能講一下這個笑話的笑點?
最后一句的butt distinguisher在這里就是“煙頭感應器”的含義嗎?還是用了一些諧音的手法?
另外就是麻煩老師講一下go them one better的用法。謝謝老師!
3、哼哼老師您好!我有一個問題想請教一下。
Students can improve the confidence of learning English and be not afraid of speaking English in public
請問 and 后邊用be not或者是not be 有沒有區別呀?
在英語中是否會有下邊這兩個句子的區分?
1.can not be afraid of 不能害怕
2.can be not afraid of 能不害怕
