日期:2011-05-17 11:25

(单词翻译:单击)

Good 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,您会由此而感到快乐的。A hard beginning makes a good ending. 常言道:善始善终。

【温故知新】
Last time our key points are "come clean" and "make a clean breast".
1 他拱认自己是偷窃珠宝的帮凶。
He made a clean breast of helping to steal the jewels.

2 警察捕获肇事逃跑的司机,该司机对其罪行供认不讳。
The police caught the hit-and-run driver and he made a clean breast of his crime.

3 他向警方如实招供.
He made a clean breast of his crime to the police.

4 我说实话--窗户是我打破的.
I've got to come clean I was the one who broke the window.

5 显而易见,那是你干的,因此你不妨全盘招供了。
It's obvious you did it so you might as well come clean.

By the way I need to emphasize if we want to say "向某人坦白某事", they are : come clean with somebody about something, make a clean breast of something to somebody. Please pay attention to the prepositions.

【主题—吃透美语】
Today we’er about to speak like a book. Please listen to the dialogue again and write down the phrases thinking they are useful for you. Listen carefully, here we go.

A : You have got to come clean with me. You are seeing other women.B : Yeah. I have been on a few dates recently.

【短语积累】
1 have got to 必须

2 come clean 说实话,坦率地说

3 come clean with somebody 跟某人说实话

4 come clean about something 说出某事的真相

5 come clean with somebody about something 跟某人说某事的实情

6 see other women 与别人幽会

7 on a date 约会,幽会

8 on a few dates 约过几次会

【影视中实际发音】
1 You have got to come clean with me.

[ju:'hævgɔdə,kʌm'kli:nwiðmi:]

2 You are seeing other women.

[ju:ə'si:iŋ'ʌðə'wimin]

3 I have been on a few dates recently.

[aihəvbi:nɔnə'fju:'deits'risntli]

【发音精彩点拨】
1 got to

Got 是以爆破辅音[t]结尾,to也是以爆破辅音[t]结尾,两个音标雷同了,那么got中的[t]就不发音了。To 在美语中的发音为[də],因此连读为[gɔdə].

2 on a date

On 是以辅音[n]结尾,a 的发音为元音[ə],辅音遇到元音了,这是连读为[nə]. Date是以爆破音[t]结尾,但是在美语中爆破音发得非常弱,甚至吞掉这个音不发出来。

【咬文嚼字】
1 You have got to come clean with me.

你跟我说实话吧。

In this sentence "have got to " is often used by American. It means "must". Come is a linking verb. With me is a preposition phrase use as adverbial.

2 You are seeing other women.

你在和别的女人约会。

In this sentence I want to emphasize "see". It means "spend time with somebody". 译为:与(某人在一起),交往。有时候夫妻间知道对方没有与别人有染,但是也会开玩笑地问:Are you seeing anyone? 你跟别人好上了吗?这种幽默的话语反而更增加夫妻间的感情。They have been seeing a lot of each other. 他们最近老泡在一起。"See a lot of each other" means "spend a lot of time together".

3 I have been on a few dates recently.

我最近是越过几次会。

In this sentence the predicative is "have been "and "on a few days" is complement. Recently is adverbial. Here I want to emphasize "on a date" refers to a state. If we want to refer an action, we can put "go" before "on". go out on a date也就是我们中文说的“赴约”,这个强调的是动作,on a date 强调的是状态或是一件事情。

【自我测试】

1 你得和他说实话。

2 你要做的就是说实话,提供协助。

3 我知道是谁做的,你得和我说实话。
4约会时你喜欢谈论什么?

下面的几条附加题留给那些考四级,六级,八级,甚至是雅思和托福的可友们,下面的句子怎么说才能在写作中加分呢?

1 当单身男女最后相见时,他们在约会时都做些什么呢?

2 他约她出去过一回,可是他们好像不大合得来。

3 没有一个女孩子喜欢跟罗杰约会,因为他是个吝啬鬼。

4 那也没什麽。反正她们也没有人会跟我出来约会!

所有答案将在下期揭晓,敬请各位关注下期的可可早间课堂。

Alright, it's time to say goodbye to you. Thank you for your listening this time. See you next time.
