各位亲爱的听众朋友,欢迎来到点滴英语天天学的《原味美语》课堂。Juliet将带您体验美国哈弗大学,美国纽约大学的口语课堂学习的内容。

Jane和Nancy是闺蜜,成天形影不离,无话不谈。Jane今天得知一点让人惊讶的消息,便去跟Nancy说:

Jane: You are not going to believe this . Debbie and Ken are getting hitched next month! He finally popped the question last night.

Jane说到的get hitched是什么意思呢?今天,我们就来学习hitched这个原味表述。To be hitched means to be married. 在文中是表示“结婚”,经常和get搭配使用,即:get hitched。我们再通过下面的例句来熟悉它的意思和运用:

1. After dating for fourteen years, Jim and Jane are going to get hitched. (恋爱十四年之后,Jim和Jane终于要结婚了。)

Ps : after dating for +时间:恋爱多久后

2. Nancy and Jack just got hitched. They'er spending their honeymoon in Beijing. (Nancy和Jack刚结婚,他们正在北京度蜜月。)

Ps: spend one's honeymoon:度蜜月

3. Why on earth did they bother to get married?(他们干么费那么大事去结婚?)

Ps: on earth:究竟,到底 bother to do sth. :费心去做某事

4. As soon as my divorce goes through, we'll get hitched.(一旦我的离婚申请获准, 我们就结婚。)

Ps : go through:审查 as soon as...:一......就......

Hitched 是非正式书面用语,那么,“Debbie and Ken are getting hitched next month!”用标准书面英语说则是: Debbie and Ken are getting married next month!

我们今天的学习就到此结束了,明天我们继续学习Jane说到的pop the question是什么意思,是“抛出个问题”的意思吗?如果您想知道答案,请明天来到我们的《点滴英语天天学》的课堂,来听Juliet老师说美语。See you!
