對話精講

第一、 地道表達

1. 習慣用語

see eye to eye

2. 解詞釋義

改習語出自《圣經.舊約.與以賽亞書》“聽啊，你守望之人的聲音，他們揚起聲來，一同歌唱。因為耶和華歸回錫安的時候，他們必須親眼看見”。（Thy watchman shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.）現在用之表示“意見一致，看法相同”。

3 語法用法

表示在某個問題上某件事情上看法一致，在短語后面加上on，即：see eye to eye on something。表示和某人看法一致，在短語后面加上see eye to eye with somebody。表示某些人在某件事情上一件一致，語序如下：see eye to eye with somebody on something。

3. 支持范例

e.g.I think we see eye to eye on that subject.

我認為我們在那個問題上看法一致。

e.g.It is a mere coincidence that they see eye to eye on this point.

他們在這一點上見解一致完全是巧合。

e.g.Though we don't quite see eye to eye with each other on this, our thinking is very close.

對于這件事情，雖然我們的意見不完全一致，但是我們的想法卻是非常接近的。

e.g. He may not see eye to eye with me, but he's no call to insult me in that way.

他盡可以不同意我的意見，但他沒有理由那樣侮辱我。

第三、句海拾貝
