活学活用

1. 希望的表达
I hope he is better.
我希望他比以前好些了。
这类句子还可以表示“希望事情如愿”,例如:In this I hope for your help.这件事我希望能得到你的帮助。Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.希望得到最好结果,准备应付最坏的情况。再比如:I hope to have finished the work by now.真希望现在工作已经结束了。We can't hope to win an easy victory.我们不能指望轻易取胜。I hope very much to go to the exhibition.我非常希望去参观展览会。
We can't expect one to change the habit of a lifetime in a short time.
我们不能期望一个人一辈子养成的习惯短时期就能改变。
expect含有“预期,期望”的意思,表示预期要发生的情况,且有一定的根据,肯定的程度比hope高,后可接名词、代词、that从句、不定式或带不定式的复合结构。
They are craving a change of pace in their humdrum life.
他们渴望改变一下他们的单词的生活步调。
crave表示“强烈的,急切的,持久的欲望”,尤其是身体方面的欲望,后接名词或介词for。例如:crave fresh air 渴望呼吸新鲜空气;crave for a drink 渴望喝一些。
What is it you want me to do?
你要我做什么呢?
want是最常用的表示自己想要做什么的词,want someone/something+to do的意思是“想要某人、某物做某事”。如:当你想和朋友一道去做什么事的时候,当有不好的事情发生的时候,你要表示愤怒和希望,可以说I don't want such a thing to happen again.我不希望这种事再次发生。也可以用来表示良好的愿望和祝福,如We wanted this meeting to be a successful one. 我们希望这次会议成功。还可以用来提出自己的建议,如I want you to see him without delay. 我希望你立即见他。
She desires that it shall not be mentioned for the present.
她希望暂时别提这事。
desire是“渴望,期望,希望”的意思,与wish和want同义。desire比wish庄重,且意味强,是热切期望(wish earnestly)之意;比want的用法正式,口语中不太用desire。
2. 西方幽默
Is she big-boned?
她是不是很魁梧啊?
big-bone指骨架很粗大;娇小则说petite。
We have a female shortage here.
我们这里闹女人荒。
female drought或female extinction是更夸张一点的讲法。
She is vertically challenged.
她向她的身高挑战。
这样的说法就是说人家很矮的意思。什么什么challenged就是说有某方面的障碍,如mentally challenged就是说心智障碍,也就是低能儿的意思
