微阅读：今天总算会用英语说“有效期”了：Best by date？ 1) 中文“有效期”是一个单词，因此，我们在“说”英语时也习惯性地“去找那个英语单词(是什么)”，这是我们英语始终学不好的根源之一。 2) 中文“有效期”其实是个语义模糊又宽泛的表达，因为没说明“是什么”的有效期：护照有效期？合同有效期？保险有效期？ 在这方面，英语就不一样了：英语要“具体得多”，或者“窄”得多，例如，中文说“山”，很宽泛，英语就要问你：a mountain,or a hill? 你得说具体喽。 我们这里的“有效期”就说“食品有效期”吧！ 3) 信息输入：What does it mean? 1. Best by/before date,what is it? What does best before mean? “Best before” is there to describe the food quality. If the food has just passed this expiration date then it will be safe for you to eat – keep it. 2.After a Date Expires – Stores are not asked by law to remove food from the food shelf once the expiration date has passed. The “Best Before Date” is the last date when a food product's flavor and/or quality is best,like bread,or fruits. A best-by date means the best period of time during which the producers feel that their product will keep its best original quality. As a matter of fact, the product may still be enjoyed,or safe to eat after the “best before date”. 可见，英语“(食品)有效期”要学会“说”两种英语： 1.“说”它的字面，也就是我们通常会“对等”到中文里的单词Best by,or best before (a date). 2.“说”它的意思。这就是我们需要学会“用英语学英语”的地方了。 读到上文的英语the food quality, expiration date= a date expires=the expiration date has passed= when a food product's flavor and/or quality is best,like bread,or fruits. A best-by date means the best period of time等英语了吗？我们可以训练我们“说”英语，遣词造句的能力了。 4) “说”英语：Okay.I got you. 1.Okay.I got you.We can say foods like bread,or fruits can be eaten Best by,or before a date. 2.We can say Best by or best before (a date for food) is about the food quality. 3.Best by or best before means the food expiration date(这才是解释英语best before的英语意思，而不是死记它跟中文意思的对应。下同),or means when a food fate expires,or when a food expiration date will pass. 一般人这么“学说”英语长句感到很吃力。 4.Best by ,or best before only means a food's taste is the best before a date,but it is still safe to eat it after the best before date,after the date expires,after the expiration date. 现在你跟人交谈英语，就不再是“蹦”单词了，而是可以跟对方聊聊a topic了。 也唯有如此用英语学习英语之后，你才有可能跟老外“聊天”，三五句，五六句。 |
