【好书推荐】生活中我们经常会有灵光闪现的时刻,突然会想到某个主意。今天我们就来学习学习在英语里如何表达“想到(a thought or idea comes into our mind)”。 1)We\'ll start with the verb strike. If a thought or idea strikes you, it suddenly comes into your mind(突然想到):
Like other verbs with this meaning, \'strike\' is often used in the structure \'It struck someone that…\':
2)Another very common way of saying this is the phrasal verb occur to(突然想到). Again, the structure that we often use is \'It occurred to someone that…\':
Interestingly, we often use \'occur to\' in negative phrases to describe thoughts and ideas that we didn\'t have or we failed to have at a particular time(occur to可以用在否定句中,表示在过去某个时候没有想到):
3)A number of idioms also convey this meaning. One such expression is cross your mind. If something crosses your mind, you think of it(想起):
Like \'strike\' and \'occur to\', this idiom often takes the form \'It … that\':
Again, this idiom is also often used in negative phrases(cross one\'s mind也用于否定句中):
4)Two other \'mind\' idioms are spring to mind and come to mind. Thoughts and images that spring to mind or come to mind come quickly into your mind(很快想到):
5)Finally, people sometimes say that a thought or image flashes across/ through their mind, meaning that it suddenly enters their mind. This is often used of a frightening or worrying idea or image(因害怕或担心脑子里闪现):
