【序言】

各位听众朋友，这里是可可早间课堂。我是Juliet。可可早间课堂给您讲的是最基础最基本的英语知识。基础即是精髓，基本即是精华。

【今日主题】

This morning I am about to continue being out with the answers to the translation exercises in 86th periodical morning class and today's morning class will give you an unexpected and surprised harvest. 今天我将继续畅谈在第86期中的习题答案，但是今天您会有意想不到的惊奇的收获。那么，就马上进入Juliet的早间课堂教室吧。

【主题详解】

我们来看第6题：说来真奇怪，他居然与那位高傲的女子坠入情网。

It is strange that he fall in love with such a snobbish girl.

【点评】

[陷阱提示] that he fall in love with such a snobbish girl这个主语从句中的fall为什么用这个动词的原形呢？主语是第三人称单数，而且主句也是一般现在是呀，原因请参见第87期中【习题1】的[陷阱提示]详解。

[单词详解] snobbish [ˈsnɔbiʃ] 这个词的英式发英和美式发音区别很大，美式发音为[ˈsna:biʃ]。此外这个词还有个非正式写法是：snobby [ˈsnɔbiʃ 。{ 中英双解} It means " feeling that you are more intelligent than other people ". 译为：自命不凡的，高傲的。{例句}She is too snobbish as she works very hard and her grades are excellent，which makes her not to make friends with anyone in her class. 由于她学习非常努力，成绩格外优秀，所以她非常地高傲，这使得她不愿意和班上任何人交朋友。

{视野拓展}However, another meaning of this word is much more widely used. 但是这个词的另一个意思更为用得广泛。What's it? It means " thinking that having a high social class is important". 译为：势力的。我们来看英国名著一下《简.爱》中的一句话：Jane feels she can never compete with these snobbish, elegant people. 简·爱感到她永远无法同这些高雅却势利的人们竞争。想必大家都读过我们中国现代文学《围城》，其中有一句是:“文纨道：“我就不信老同学会那么势利！” 翻译则是：Wen-wan said, "I can't believe old classmates could be that snobbish."

{例句} 下面的句子非常有趣，它们是一些例句，但是我把它们组合成了一个小短文，可以说是一个Topic Discussion for Snobbishness】。

As for snobbish, some people maybe say, " One shouldn't be too snobbish as snobs [snɔb](1.(谄上傲下的)势利小人)(2.自高自大者, 自命不凡者)are be hated by all people." Some people probably say, "A snobbish little rascal [ˈrɑ:skəl ] (1.流氓, 无赖)(2.(开玩笑说法)淘气的人(尤指小孩), 恶作剧的人), only values clothes and not the man himself. ." Nevertheless, some would say, " If you don't play a part of a snob, you would always live in poverty and not enjoy a noble life." What do you think about snobbishness? I think, I cannot say it is right or wrong as a snob because everything has one more face. It is fine just that we can hold a sense of propriety [prəˈpraiəti] well.

或许有的人说：“做人不要太势眼了，嫌贫爱富遭人痛恨。”或许有的人说：“势利鬼只重衣衫，不重自己的尊言，不要做一个势利鬼。”但是，有人说：“如果不做个势利眼，生活则是清清贫贫穷，享受不到贵族生活，谁不想生活得好呢？”各位听众朋友，你是怎样看待势利眼这类人呢？Juliet认为是否做一个势利眼，不能评判其行为对与错，因为事物都具有多面性，我们要以矛盾论，辩证法来看待事物，有些事儿人们认为不对的，但是您可以做，也就是说Juliet支持您可以做个势利眼，但就是把握好分寸就行了。

[短语详析] fall in love 坠入情网, 谈恋爱。那么要说与某人谈恋爱在短语的后面加上介词with, 即是： fall in love with，那么be in love with 意思是：与某人在热恋中。这两个短语的区别请参见第86期的习题1中的go bankrupt短语的详细解释。

从清晨就开始我们一天有意义的生活！

【视野拓展】

说道love，英语中有含蓄的爱情表达法，美国人尽管喊了多少年的性开放，但很多美国人在谈情说爱方面，　仍然喜欢采用一些含蓄保守的词句或语句，表现文明和礼貌。Juliet今天了，就用这些表示含蓄保守的词语和语句来说说我的恋爱的故事吧。

1 have a ( big )crush on

I had big crush on my political teacher when I were at middle school.

我在读中学时就爱慕我的政治老师极了。

2 feel an instant magnetism [ˈmægnitizəm]

I felt an instant magnetism and my heart beat very fast when my eyes met my teacher's eyes.

当我的眼光我和我政治老师的眼光相遇时，我就感到一种磁性般的吸住. 心跳得特别得快。It is natural.当您处于少男少女青春萌动期的时候，这是很正常的。

3 catch one's eye

I had many outstanding gifts, good-looking and I did well in my study so I caught my political teacher's eye too.

我呢，在读书那会儿，是个漂亮妞儿，多才多艺而且成绩优异，所以我的政治老师也爱慕上了我。

4 have the hots for somebody & be attracted to each other

I couldn't say I had the hots for my teacher first or he did it first, maybe we were attracted to each other at that time.

我也说不准是我先爱上我的老师，还是我的老师先爱上我，或许那时是我们互相吸引着对方吧。

5 hit it off

After my graduation from university, my mother introduced a handsome and rich man to me, but we didn't seem to hit it off. The reason is that I couldn't forget my teacher , perhaps that was my first love in my life which was not easily forgotten.

大学毕业了，母亲帮我介绍了一位英俊而且很富有的男子，听说他有一百万呀，可是了，我们并没有一见钟情，没有缘分，因为我忘不掉我的老师，或许这就是人们常说的初恋是很难忘的。

好了，Juliet的恋爱故事讲完了，大家记住所讲的片语吗？我们来总结一下: 1 have a ( big )crush on 2 feel an instant magnetism 3 catch one's eye4 have the hots for somebody 5 be attracted to each other6 hit it off 上面提到的片语都是描写男女间互相倾慕，两情相悦，有吸引力或一见锺情。
