迷你对话学地道口语第789期:表现得过分友好亲密的人(在线收听) |
Subject: He is a backslapper. 第一、迷你对话
A: He is a backslapper.
他是一个势力的人。
B: I cannot agree with you any more.
我非常赞同。
第二、核心表达
backslapper
1. 解词释义
Backslapper是指那些老是拍肩握手,想向别人表示友好的人。美国人要想别人表示友好的时候就不拍对方的后背,可是,有的人做得过分了点,不管是熟人还是陌生人,见一个就拍一个,想以此来显示他们友好。美国人把这种人叫做backslapper。你从这种人身上也许会占点便宜,但是不一定可靠。有的时候显得友好,其实并不是真的友好。Sb. is a backslapper.用来警告一个人不要上某人的当。
2. 例句拓展
Be careful of that big, loud guy over there. He's a real backslapper if he thinks you're important, but if he finds out you're not a big shot, he won't even bother to say hello to you.
那边那个说话大声的大个子,你可得小心。要是他认为你是一个重要人物,他就会和你拍肩握手地表示友好;可是如果他发现你不是大人物,他连招呼都懒得和你打。
Mr. Green keeps getting elected because he tries to shake hands with every voter in his district at election time. He backslaps all the men and he kisses every baby he sees and tells the mother it's the most beautiful baby he's even seen.
格林先生老是当选,因为他在竞选的时候总是在他选区里和每个选民握手。他见到男人就拍拍他们的背,看到小孩就亲亲他们的脸,还告诉孩子的妈妈,这孩子是他见过的最漂亮的一个孩子。
第三、咬文嚼字
1. agree with sb.的意思是“同意某人的意见,观点或立场等”。Agree with something的意思是“赞成……”例如:
I strongly suspect that most ordinary people would agree with me.
我坚定地认为绝大部分老百姓会赞同我的观点。
In his heart he knew they'd agree with his stand.
他内心明白他们会赞成他的立场。
2. cannot agree with sb./sth. any more表示“再同意……不过了”的意思。例如:
I cannot agree with you on this point any more.
在这一点上,我非常同意你的意见。
I cannot profess that I cannot agree with such censures any more.
