Michael: I am sorry, I am sorry... I'm so... I love you.
妙词佳句,活学活用
1. Never can tell.
“谁都没法说,你永远都不会知道”。其实像这种表达方式。我们已经学过好多,比如:you never know,God knows,nobody knows等等。
2. You're up.
You're up. 在这里意思是“go ahead”,“go for it”,用汉语讲就是“你说吧”。
3. Thought this one up
其实这个短语中有thought 就够用了,但是说话者偏偏在后面加一个up,意为加重语气,与此同时,来强调一下“编造”的事实。仔细回想一下,我们曾讲过 You made this up. (你自己编的吧。)不难看出,此句后面结尾的部分同样也是up,代表编造的意思。
