妙語佳句,活學(xué)活用
1. What’s on your mind
這句話可以理解成:“你想干嘛?” On one’s mind 是個片語,也可以寫作 on the brain,意思就是“in one's thoughts, preoccupying one 心想,惦念”,比如:The book prize has been on my mind, but I haven't been able to discuss it with you. 我一直想著圖書獎,但還沒來的急和你討論。
2. I didn't think you had the stomach for another go-around.
“我以為你沒有興致再來一輪了呢。”
Stomach 這里指“興致”,尤其是對那些令人不快的事物的“興致”,比如:I don’t have the stomach for quarrels. 我沒興致吵架。
