台词精解
1. I ask all of you to show a little sympathy for our junior class.
短语精解:show sympathy for somebody的意思是“对......表示出同情,怜悯之情”“体恤某人”“对......给予同情”。
与之意思相近的短语有“express sympathy for somebody”,“feel sympathy for somebody”。
短语中关键词是“sympathy”,意思是“同情”或者是“同情心”,作为这个意思解时,是不可数名词,如果用复数的话,即“sympathies”,那么意思就“哀悼,慰问”或者是“(感情上的)支持,赞同”。例如:
She never expressed any sympathy when I was injured.(我受伤时她从未表示过同情。)
I felt much sympathy for the blind.(我对盲人深感同情。)
You have my deepest sympathies on the death of your wife.(对于令夫人之去世, 谨向您表示最深切的慰问。)
My sympathies are with the workers in this dispute.(在这场纠纷中, 我站在工人一方。)
短语回顾:all of you意思是“你们所有人”,a little意思是“一点儿”,junior class意思是“低年级”,“ask somebody to do something”意思是“请某人做某事”。
2. They are almost through with ivy week.
短语精解:through with是个副词性短语,意思是“结束”“完成”等。那么做谓语要和系动词be连用,即be through with something,或者做状语,和某些动词go连用,意思都是“完成,了解做完,结束某事”等等。
句意理解:“They are almost through with the ivy week.”直接翻译是“他们几乎度过了常青藤周”。也就是说“这一周是给予新生进入常青藤社团的时间,在这一周里新生大多进入了。”
I will be through with this man.(我会和这个男人断绝来往。)
I swore to her that if she followed through with it, I'd do the same.(我告诉她如果她要开枪打死自己的话,我就和她做同样的事。)
He went through with his plan although all his friends advised him to abandon it.(尽管他所有的朋友忠告他放弃他的计划,但他坚持完成了该项计划。)
3. As it is our long-standing tradition, the Constance Billiard girls will be in charge of Friday night's mixer, and the St. Jude's boys will provide the ushers for the visiting representatives.
单词精解: long-standing是个复合词,由形容词long和动名词standing构成,意思是“长久的,经久不衰的”。例如:a long-standing relationship(长期的友情)。
专有名词:the Constance Billiard和the St. Jude都是社团的名称,注意首个字母要大写,还要加定冠词the。
短语精解:in charge of是个介词短语,意思是“负责”。它可以和系动词连用做谓语,也可以放于名词后做定语。例如:
Comrade Yang will be in charge of that work for the time being.(杨同志将暂时负责那项工作。)
The babysitter was in charge of the kids while the parents were out.(保姆在父母不在家的时候,负责照顾孩子们。)
He is the vice-president in charge of sales.(他是负责销售的副总经理。)
I'm the one in charge of setting up all the chairs.(因为我是负责排椅子的人。)
短语精解:provide for是一个固定搭配的动词短语,意思是“提供,供给”等。 provide something for sb意思是“向某人提供某物”这个短语可以这么用provide sb with something。例如:
Can you provide accommodation for thirty people?(你能为三十人提供住宿吗?)
语法点拨: visiting representatives中的visiting是现在分词短语做前置定语。Visiting是动词visit的现在分词形式,表示即将发生的事情,那么visiting representatives意思就是“即将来往者”。
