日期:2011-05-19 17:34

(单词翻译:单击)

Morning!I am Juliet. Nice to meet you through network. Hope we could spend a wonderful morning together. An hour in the morning is worth two hours in the evening.

一天之计在于晨,若您有个美好的晨间生活,相信您一天的生活都是美好的,您的内心会由此生发快乐之感的。A hard beginning makes a good ending. 常言道:善始善终。

【温故知新】
Last time we learned "You have got to come clean with me." which is used to ask somebody to tell the truth when lying.

1 你得和他说实话。

You are gonna come clean with her.

2 你要做的就是说实话,提供协助。

What you need is to come clean and cooperation.

3 我知道是谁做的,你得和我说实话。

I know who did this. So, you might as well come clean with me.

下面的几道附加翻译题都是关于浪漫的“约会”的,我们就来看看“浪漫约会”中您可以说些什么话儿。

1 约会时你喜欢谈论什么?

What do you like to talk about when on a date?

2 当单身男女最后相见时,他们在约会时都做些什么呢?

When single people finally get together, what do they do on a date?

【点评】这一句get together on a date 同意,在一句话中同样的意思使用不同的短语来表达,让读者看起来不厌烦。

3 他约她出去过一回,可是他们好像不大合得来。

He took her out on a date but they didn't really hit it off.

【点评】take somebody out on a date这个短语中take somebody out这个短语“把某人带出来”再加上介词短语on a date来表示“某人主动约某人出去过(谈恋爱)”,hit it off 是个精彩的短语了,意思是:一拍即合。

4 没有一个女孩子喜欢跟罗杰约会,因为他是个吝啬鬼。

None of the girls like to go on a date with Roger because he is a cheap skate.

【点评】go on a date with somebody这个短语中的go 加上介词短语on a date表示出“去幽会”“赴约”。A cheap skate这是个精彩的俚语,it means "somebody is mean".

5 那也没什麽。反正她们也没有人会跟我出来约会!

That's no big thing. None of them would go on a date with me anyway!

【点评】That's no big thing. "No big thing" means " It doesn't matter." 不碍事儿。还可以说“no big deal”.

【主题】
And today I would like to share an new one with you which is similar to it. If you want to know, please listen to the following dialogue.

A : Mom, I can't tell you what Jerry said about you.
B : Out with it. I want to know everything.

【答疑解惑】
It is"Out with it." It means '"Say what you know. " 你就说出来吧。This is a way to say "I want to hear the truth from you." It's usually said by a teacher or a parent when they think a child is lying. Here I want to place emphasis on the situation used. It's not equal to "come clean about something" entirely. 我们来看《汤姆历险记》中的一句话:exclaimed the old man,"out with it and nobody here will ever tell." 老人大声说,“孩子,说出来吧,这儿没人会讲出去的。”Out with it.这句话常用语长辈对晚辈说。

【拓展视野】
Here I would very much like to send you another short sentence which is similar to it. It is "Hold back." which means "not to tell someone something he wants or needs to know". 我在追求舞蹈的路中,I feel really hard. 知名院校的教学资料不向外透漏的。It's very hard to get dancing materials about ballet. Even if I can get the references, it cost me an arm and a leg. However, nowadays with the development of the Internet , I can get many valuable foreign ballet references.我现在真的是对我的学生不由感叹道: It's lucky that you are living and studying in this time and you can get the information on ballet held back before.

【咬文嚼字】
Talking of "Out with it. " 这个短句是有文法可究的。In fact, it's come from "Come out with it!" 语言只要能表达出您的意思,越是简练越好。Out 在这里是副词,意思是:全部出来. With is used in exclamations here. With在这里适用于感叹,加强语气,也有"附着,带着"的意味在其中。小孩子很贪玩不睡午觉,作为母亲的您会生气地说一句: Off to bed with you. 你给我睡觉去。"It" 就是指你不想说出来的事情。

【知识内化】

1 桑迪,打开窗子说亮话。干脆--朋友间不应该保守秘密。

2 你在苦思冥想些什么?说出来吧!

3 如果你有什么想法, 我希望你说出来。

答案将在明天的早间课堂揭晓。敬请关注下期的可可早间课堂。

Okay, that's enough for now. Thank you for your listening this time. See you next time.
