妙语佳句,活学活用
1. give sb. a jump: 是口语中give sb. a jump start的简缩,意思就是“帮助某人发动汽车”。Henry问Lucy:“你介意帮我发动一下汽车吗?”来看jump start的用法:
You should know how to change a tire and jump start your car. 你应该知道如何更换轮胎和推助启动你的汽车。
jump start又可以引申为“充电、启动(事业等)”。例如:
Looking different is a great way to jump start a ho-hum day. 给自己打扮打扮,让自己看起来不同,是给平淡的日子充充电的好办法。
Eating a balanced breakfast is a great way to jump start your day. 享用营养均衡的早餐是开始一天生活的好方式。
Some companies hope to jump start the 3G market by offering discounts on phones and service plans. 一些公司希望通过提供优惠价的手机和客户服务来使自己的3G产品打入市场。
2. Appreciate your time: 很客气的表示感谢的方式:“占用了你的时间,谢谢。”
I really appreciate your time with me tonight. 非常感谢你今晚能抽空陪我。
Thanks for helping me with this project. I appreciate your time. 谢谢你拨出时间来帮助这项计划。
3. fall for sth.: 对某事上当。Henry说:“真不敢相信这都能骗到你!”
Don't fall for his tricks. 不要中他的诡计。
You must not fall for his flatteries. 你不可听信他的阿谀之词。
fall for 还有“倾心,喜欢上”的意思,例如:
Why do I always fall for losers? 为什么我每次都会爱上没出息的家伙?
It'll do you no good to fall for Mary. 你为玛丽而倾倒对你没有好处。
4.That's my thing.: 在剧中这句话的意思可不是“这是我的东西。”而是“这是我的拿手好戏。”
