第三拨三字句来袭！看看有哪些你会用、哪些你不会！ 1. Don’t be silly. 别傻了。 【这句话可以如字面意思直解，但很多时候并不是如字面意思一样说别人犯傻，也可以是指让别人不要想太多、不要担心。】 【如果有朋友总爱发白日梦，或者总爱胡思乱想，可以用这句话让TA清醒些。】 【不过要注意使用场合哦，一般仅限于家人朋友。不熟的人可不要乱用！】 — Are we walking to the museum? — Don't be silly – it’s much too far, we will take a taxi. — You don't love me anymore, do you? — Don't be silly! 2. Don’t be upset. 别难过。/别烦心。 【这句话用人来安慰别人挺实用。】 3. Don’t blow it. 别搞砸了。 【这句话连中国大学生都没几个会说！】 — This is your best opportunity to get a good job. Don’t blow it. — I’ll try my best not to. 4. Don’t bother me. 别烦我。 【注意这一句与“Don’t bother.”意思相差很大。】 — I have important work to do. Don’t bother me. — Fine! 5. Don’t push me. 别催我。 — You’ve got to hurry up! We’re falling behind. 你得快点！我们落后了。 — Don’t push me! I can’t handle all this pressure! 别催我！我受不了所有这些压力！ 6. Don’t sweat it. 别担心。 【意思等于：Don’t worry. 下次试试换这个说法。】 — Hurry up! We’re going to be late! — Don't sweat it! We've got plenty of time to get there before the show starts. * * * * * * — I'm worried about my final examination. — You didn't take it yet? — I took it yesterday. I'm not sure how I did. — If you tried your best, there's nothing you can do about the results, so don't sweat it. — 我担心我的期末考试。 — 你还没考吗？ — 我昨天考了。我不确信我考得怎么样。 — 如果你尽力了，结果你也无法改变。所以不用担心。 7. Don’t you dare! 你敢！ 【这句话的意思是：如果你这样做我会很生气。还有一个类似的说法：How dare you! 注意这两句中的“dare”用法不同。】 — I’ll tell Susan what you said about her. — Don’t you dare! 8. Easy does it. 轻一点。/慢慢来。 — Help me out of bed, honey. 亲爱的，扶我起床。 — Easy does it. The doctor said you should take it easy for at least a week. 慢慢来。医生说你应该放松休息至少一个星期。 9. Far from it! 差得远着呢！/一点都不！ — Have you finished your work yet? 你工作做完了吗？ — Far from it. * * * * * * — Does this hat look strange? — Far from it! It looks good on you. 10. Fill me in. 告诉我详情。 【“fill sb. in”是指把某事的详情告诉某人。】 — Do you know what happened to him last night? — I don’t. Fill me in. 来试试三个单字的魔力吧！ Now it's your time to open your mouth and practice! 张开嘴巴练起来！ |
