妙詞佳句,活學(xué)活用
1. Never can tell.
“誰(shuí)都沒法說,你永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)知道”。其實(shí)像這種表達(dá)方式。我們已經(jīng)學(xué)過好多,比如:you never know,God knows,nobody knows等等。
2. You're up.
You're up. 在這里意思是“go ahead”,“go for it”,用漢語(yǔ)講就是“你說吧”。
3. Thought this one up
其實(shí)這個(gè)短語(yǔ)中有thought 就夠用了,但是說話者偏偏在后面加一個(gè)up,意為加重語(yǔ)氣,與此同時(shí),來強(qiáng)調(diào)一下“編造”的事實(shí)。仔細(xì)回想一下,我們?cè)v過 You made this up. (你自己編的吧。)不難看出,此句后面結(jié)尾的部分同樣也是up,代表編造的意思。
