妙词佳句,活学活用
1. I'll be trapped.
好句子,意思是“我就逃不掉了!”trap这个词的意思是“设陷,坑害”,在口语里建立在这个词义基础上的句子也显得很生动。如:
1)Don't fence me in, Mary. Don't make me feel trapped. 别约束我,玛丽,别让我觉得陷入了圈套。
2)We are trapped, Louise! 我们逃不掉了,路易斯!
2. I fixed it.
这个句子更是短小精悍,不知大家是否准确理解了它的意思:我搞定了!当然,这个意思是来自fix的词义:安排,确定。如:
1) All fix up, Jack? 都安排妥当了吗,杰克?
2) If you want to interview the Mayor, I can fix it. 如果你想采访市长的话,我来给你安排。
fix这个词还有个常用意思是“修理”,引申的意思为“康复”。如:
1) Tell him to behave, or I'll fix him. 告诉他规矩点,否则我就收拾他。
2)A few days' rest will fix me up. 休息几天我就会康复的。
