课堂详解

欢迎大家来到《点滴英语天天学》,我是可可英语网站的Juliet老师。今天我们开始第6课的学习。

在今天的课堂上,我们学习的内容是与acquaintance相关的一个Idiom。如果我们要表示meet someone for the first time(初次与某人相见,结识某人),我们可以用到这个Idiom:make someone’s acquaintance/make the acquaintance of someone. 我们通过下面的例句来看看它的运用:
e.g. I am delighted and honored to make your acquaintance, Ms. Baker. Baker夫人,与您相识,我感到很高兴和荣幸。

e.g. I made the acquaintance of several famous musicians around that time. 大约在那段时间,我结识了几位著名的音乐家。

Example-1中,make your acquaintance的意思是“与您相识”。Acquaintance前面是物主代词your。由此可见,如果我们用物主代词来表示相识的对象,用make one’s acquaintance。Of course, we can also say “to make the acquaintance of you”。如果我们把物主代词改为人称代词的宾格形式,就可以使用 make the acquaintance of someone这个结构。

Example-2中,made the acquaintance of several famous musicians意思是与几位著名的音乐家相识。如果表示相识的对象是名词的时候,可用make the acquaintance of someone这个结构,在例句中是这样使用。Of course, we can also say “to make several musicians’ acquaintance”。所以,如果是用名词来表示相识的对象,make someone's acquaintance和make the acquaintance of someone这两个结构都可以使用。

在口语中,我们初见到某人时,经常说:I am glad to meet you. /It is nice to meet you. 等等。今天,我们学了这个idiom,用它也可表达同样的意思。例如:

e.g. It 's a pleasure to make your acquaintance . 认识你我很高兴。

e.g. I'm honored to make your acquaintance. 认识你是我的荣幸。

That is all for Lesson 6. Bye for now. 实践才是检验真理的标准,只有您做了为您量身定做的习题之后,Juliet老师才知道您吸收了今天的知识没有,别让我白费苦心哦!
