15.You're not trying to get out of gym, are you?
-Gym? I would get off gym if I joined the band? What does one have to do with the other?
輔導(dǎo)員懷疑他要進(jìn)樂隊(duì)另有原因,而他卻在裝糊涂。該句里值得注意的用法不少。
——實(shí)用句式y(tǒng)ou’re not doing, are you?你不會(huì)是要…吧?
——have to do with sth 和什么有關(guān)系可能比較常用,但是本句中的,二者有什么關(guān)系是個(gè)對(duì)該用法的新嘗試。
16.Not that I don't relish the opportunity to climb the ropes and jump over the horses in gym, but love calls, and I must answer.
Ben總是充滿機(jī)靈古怪的借口。Not that, but 引導(dǎo)了一個(gè)表示原因的名詞性從句。/
love calls 你就要answer,那么when nature calls,不要忘了去bathroom.
17. ergo 因此,第一次知道這個(gè)連詞。
18.How long would it take to learn to play the cymbal?(銅鈸)
-I don't know, but I think it's called cymbals, and as easy as it looks, I would think you'd still have to learn to read music so you'd know when to smack 'em together.
精彩的對(duì)白。Ben用單數(shù)來說銅鈸,但是輔導(dǎo)員說你還需要學(xué)學(xué)如何挑選擊打它們的時(shí)機(jī),所以解釋了為什么輔導(dǎo)員糾正道要用復(fù)數(shù)。
19.Life stinks.
-Well, it's kinda funny considering we're in a bathroom.
stink v.發(fā)臭 life stinks 像life sucks一樣是習(xí)慣的搭配,而“考慮到我們是在廁所里,這句話變得更有趣”。
20.Can't believe I'm old enough to use the word "pregnant" in a sentence, much less actually be pregnant.
can’t believe I’m引導(dǎo)了兩件事情做不相信的賓語,一是 old enough to use the word pregnant,另一個(gè)是 be pregnant. 有一個(gè)更加不真實(shí) less actually。
21.I don't think we'd be displaying the trust we have in you if we make your older brother your chaperone for the evening.
如果我們讓你哥今晚作你的陪同,我不認(rèn)為這能表現(xiàn)我們對(duì)你的信任。
22.I think the technical term is... once in a blue moon.
once in a blue moon罕見的
