Episode 02:播音員陳述瑪麗.艾莉絲自殺前的一段獨(dú)白:
I made my breakfast for my family. I performed my chores. I completed my projects. I ran my errands. In truth, I spent the day as I spend every other day - quietly polishing the routine of my life until it gleamed with perfection. That's why it was so astonishing when I decided to go to my hallway closet to retrieve a revolver that had never been used.
解析:retrieve a revolver:取回一把左輪手槍
(retrieve:v. 取回,恢復(fù),補(bǔ)償,一般用于重新拿回某樣?xùn)|西,或重新獲得某種精神與動(dòng)力。)
I should like to retrieve my umbrella which I left in the car.
我想取回我留在車上忘記帶走的雨傘。
The company is fighting to retrieve its market share.
這個(gè)公司正在為恢復(fù)其市場(chǎng)份額(占有率)而奮斗。
注意這里我用紅色標(biāo)記的幾個(gè)動(dòng)詞過去式短語搭配,再看看我用綠色標(biāo)記的一個(gè)實(shí)用句型,大家不妨用它來做個(gè)造句練習(xí)。
