1. Make of that what you will. Notes: 我们都很熟悉的一个短语“…be made of…”的意义是“……由……制作”。例如: This table is made of wood. “make of ”的意义和前者一点关系都没有。它表示“理解,对……有某种看法”。例如: What do you make of this letter? What do you make of Susan? 了解了“make of”的用法,就很容易理解“Make of that what you will.”的意义了。理解你能理解的自然就是“你看着办。” 2. I speak from personal experience. Notes: “personal experience”的意思是“个人的经验或经历”。所以这句话很好理解,就是“我的经验之谈。”当我们在某些事情上要给别人一些建议,而这些事是我们曾经经历过的,就可以加上这句话收尾。例如: You’d better go to a bigger city to get more chances. I speak from personal experience. 3. After you. Notes: 这是在生活中能经常用到的句子。无论是男士想表达自己的绅士风度还是我们彼此在排队做某事时的谦让,都可以用这两个单词。 4. in the thick of Not to worry, you’ll be in the thick of it soon enough.
