重点解释

妙语佳句:

原句:I figured they'd find me a prince...

解析:figure:认为

They figured it was better to stay where they were.

他们断定还是呆在原地好。

figure out和figure up意思相近，在美国英语中解释为“计算”或“估计”。

They have figured out(up) how much would be required.

figure on在美国英语中则解释为“估计到”或“指望”。

原句:You know, I have enough conflict in my day job.

解析:day job:全日性工作

The young man is told not to give up the day job.

有人告诉该青年，让他不要放弃自己的主业。

原句:You're the one who found it for me not that I'm blaming you...

解析:blame:表示“责备”，不一定是责备的行为，可以是“在心理上责备某人”，而那个人却不知道你在责备他；

表示“某人有过失”或“该受责备”时，常用to blame来表达，很少用被动格式to be blamed。

She is certainly to blame.

她一定有过失。

blame it on him表示blame him for it（因……责备某人），该结构比较少见。
