2 课后习题参考答案各位亲爱的听众朋友,这里是晨间7点档“话说地道美语”,我是Juliet。非常高兴与您在这美丽的清晨相见。
【课前热身】
First of all , let's have a review. 在第七课中我们学了与“be scared to death”的地道美语说法,大家还记得吗?它们是:make one's hair stand on, 吓得某人的毛发竖起来;make one's blood run cold 吓得某人浑身冰凉;scare the shit out of somebody (scare somebody shitless)吓得某人屁滚尿流。与之同义的中文四字短语有:吓得(毛骨悚然,不寒而栗,胆战心惊,魂飞魂散,摄人心寒等等)。
【本课主题】
现在我们开始第8课的学习。Lesson eight How to say “浑身下上”in real American English? 第八课:浑身上下,美语怎么说?Let's listen to the following sentence: Louise is the one in red over there from head to toe. Louise就是在那儿的那位穿一身红衣服的人。Louise /is the one/ in red/ over there /from head to toe. 听众朋友,在这个句子中哪里表示出“浑身上下”的意思?
【主题详说】
它是一个介词短语,含有我们身体的部位,一个是head, h-e-a-d , 脑袋,一个是toe, t-o-e, 脚趾间,这个介词短语是:from head to toe,从头到脚,浑身上下。In English it means" covering one's whole body".
Let's look at two more sentences. 1 They looked me over from head to toe. 他们从头到脚打量了我一番。(备注:"Look over" means "examine",查看,检查。Can you look over my composition for me?你能帮我检查一下我的作文吗?The bell rang before I could look over my answers.我还没来得及看一下答案铃就响了。None of us will ever have to look over our shoulders again.我们都不必再战战兢兢地过日子了。)2 She was mildly bloated from head to toe. 她浑身上下轻微浮肿。
Look at this sentence: I admired her from head to toe. In this sentence, what does "from head to toe" mean? It means "very much , completely or thoroughly1, etc.". 在这句话中,from head to toe的意思是由其基本意思而引申出来的意思:非常地,极度地,彻底彻尾地,完全所有地,and so on.
Let's look at two more sentences. 1 Mary if perfect from head to toe. Mary 真是完美极了,毫无瑕疵。2 John loves Mary from head to toe. John爱Mary爱得神魂颠倒(晕头转向)。
【本课总结】
Let's have a summary. 在今天的课堂上,我们学了“浑身上下”以及由之而引申出来的“彻底彻尾”的表述:from head to toe,我们也可是说是:from head to feet. 此外,掌握一个短语: look over 检查,查看。还有一个在恋爱中可以用的句子:Somebody loves somebody from head to toe. 某人爱某人爱得神魂颠倒(晕头转向)。 亲爱的听众朋友们,您记住了吗?I am sure you have done. 那么Juliet下次再跟您相会了。See you!
