五道口,看美剧学五个地道实用的表达!
1.cushion the blow (S01E03)
cushion 有“坐垫”的意思,作为动词还可以表示“减少伤害”,常见的表达是 cushion the blow。He was trying to cushion the blow.
2. If only... (S01E03)
If only he were a woman. 这里用到了虚拟语气,表达和实际情况相反的意思。注意这时谓语动词用过去时,be 动词一般用 were 不用 was。
3. What is up with..? (S01E03)
当我们想表示 What's the matter with you? / What's wrong with you? / What's going on with you? 的时候,其实也可以用 What is up with you. 注意 up 这类小词的灵活用法。
4. way (S01E04)
way 除了“道路”“方式”外,很多时候都可以用来替换 very,强调程度。比如You got way too much free time. 你闲工夫太多了。We're way different. = We're very different.
5. Mr "The glass is half empty"(S01E04)
"The glass is half empty" 来自习语 Is the glass half empty or half full? 这里的 Mr "The glass is half empty"就是“持悲观态度的人”,我们要学习 Mr xx 这种灵活的口语用法。
