on earth 究竟 【用法透视】 特殊疑问句中加上"on earth"可以加强语气,表示强调,有很强的感情色彩,意思是“究竟……;到底……”。另外,也可以用"the hell; in the world"。 【支持范例】 1. Why on earth do you tell a lie? 你究竟为什么要撒谎? 2. Who on the earth do you think you are anyway? 你究竟认为你是什么人? 3. Where in the world did you find the lost watch? 你到底在哪儿找到那块丢失的手表的? 【会话记忆】 A: I've been standing here since half past seven. Where on earth have you been? 我从七点半就一直站在这儿等你。你到底上哪儿去了? B: I'm terribly sorry I'm late. I just couldn't help it. 真太对不起,我迟到了。不过我实在没办法。 A: It's really very easy saying you're sorry. 说对不起当然很容易。 B: Look, just give me a chance. I can explain it. 你别急,给我个机会,我可以解释! |
