2015-08-30 23:18    新东方

  No.1 it’s no good to do / it’s no good doing

  ※模仿地道美音Model

  × It’s no good to complain about your life all the time if you don’t do anything about it.

  √ It’s no good complaining about your life all the time if you don’t do anything about it.

  整天抱怨生活,却又不采取什么行动,可没什么好处!

  ※扩展语言知识Multiply

  1. it’s no good + doing,意为“做某事没什么好处”。

  2. 谈到complain,还有两个表示“抱怨”的词在口语中也相当常用:bitching和nagging。它们均表示“抱怨”和“数落”。

  例:William’s wife kept nagging at him.

  William的太太整天在他耳边唠叨。

  No.2 be open to / be open with / be frank with

  ※模仿地道美音Model

  × I’ll be open to you. You have to stop bitching.

  × I’ll be open with you. You have to stop bitching.

  √ I’ll be frank with you. You have to stop bitching.

  我坦白告诉你,你得停止唠叨了。

  1. be open to 向……开放

  例:The library is open to the public.

  图书馆向公众开放。

  2. be open with 以诚相待

  例:As good friends, we must be open with each other.

  作为好朋友,我们应该彼此坦诚相待。

  3. be frank with与be honest with相近,指“坦率的,不委婉的”。

  例:To be frank with you, you suck!

  跟你说实话吧,你真恶心!

  No.3 cheat / cheat on

  ※模仿地道美音Model

  × Jack was heartbroken because his girlfriend cheated him.

  √ Jack was heartbroken because his girlfriend cheated on him.

  因为女朋友不忠,Jack很伤心。

  ※扩展语言知识Multiply

  1. cheat someone (out of something) 意思是“骗取某人财物”,cheat在这里是及物动词。

  例:She cheated her customers by overcharging them.

  她通过多收费来欺骗顾客。

  2. 表示“对配偶不忠”应该用cheat on a spouse,这里的cheat是不及物动词。

  3. cheat in an exam意为“考试作弊”。

  4. 在美国口语中,cheat还有一种调皮的用法: cheat on death,意为“捡回一条命

  No.4 healthy / well / better

  ※模仿地道美音Model

  × I hope you’ll be healthy soon.

  √ hope you’ll be well soon.

  √ I hope you’ll get better soon.

  希望你早日康复。

  ※扩展语言知识Multiply

  1. healthy作表语时,常表示“有益于健康的”。

  例:Eating breakfast is healthy.

  吃早饭有益健康。

  2. 而形容人身体状况,一般用短语 in good/poor health,这里的health是不可数名词。

  例:Health, wealth and happiness.

  健康,财富和幸福。

  3. “You’ll be healthy soon.”比较拗口,不符合英美人的说话习惯。well作表语意为“健康的,精神很好的”。

  例:You look so well.

  你看上去气色不错。

  No.5 rubbish mail / junk mail

  ※模仿地道美音Model

  rubbish [ˈrʌbɪʃ]

  junk [dʒʌŋk]

  × It really bothers me to get so much rubbish mail every day.

  √ It really bothers me to get so much junk mail every day.

  每天都收到这么多垃圾邮件让我很心烦。

  ※扩展语言知识Multiply

  1. rubbish虽然也是“垃圾”的意思,但“垃圾邮件”一般用固定短语junk mail,包括flyers(传单)、ads(各类促销广告)、store catalogues(商品目录杂志)等。

  2. 如果你不喜欢收到垃圾邮件, 可以在信箱上贴“no junk mails please”,还是挺管用的。此外,垃圾食品是junk food,现在很多女生都力主减肥,拒绝junk food。在这里给广大女性同胞提供一个减肥妙方:The only thing you gotta do is drinking much tomato juice before each meal.
