(单词翻译:单击)

各位亲爱的朋友们,欢迎来到早间课堂第二系列《抛招接招》小节目,我是Juliet。今天我将继续抛招说随便,那么今天的招儿说随便具体是什么意思呢?我们先来听2个例子:

例句-1:Your school sounds more free and easy than ours.

听起来你的学校更随便些。

例句-2:There was a free and easy atmosphere at the meeting.

会议的气氛十分轻松。

在上面的2个例句中都用到了同一个词语:free and easy。这是一条形容词性习惯用语。Free 意为自由的,easy意为随和的,两者由and连接起来可以用于哪些情景,那么在这些情景下又是什么意思呢?

首先,这个短语可以用于表示一个人风度翩翩,举止行为潇洒自然。我们来看下面的3个例子:

1. With this kind of T-shirt, gentlemen will look even more free and easy.

男士身着这种T 恤衫,更显潇洒不凡。

2. I'm longing to be a free and easy woman fluttering in the wind.

我渴望做一个像风一般洒脱的女人。

3. She was a plump girl of eighteen or so, outspoken, with a free and easy manner, very much the modern school-girl.

她是一个胖胖的十八九岁左右的姑娘,举止大方,言语也洒脱,而且处处带着女学生的派头。

第二、Free and easy这个短语还可以用于表示一个人做事随便,做事随意,不甚谨慎、小心。我们来看下面的例子:

1. My brother was free and easy with his money and it was soon gone.

我哥用钱很大方,不久便把钱花光了。

2. Harry is such a nice friendly guy we were glad to hear he'd won a million dollars in the lottery. But he was so free and easy with the money it was all gone in a year.

Hanry是一个很好的人,他总是很友好。我们听到他通过买彩票而得到一百万美元奖金的时候,我们都很高兴。可是,他在钱的问题上实在很随便,一年内这笔钱就没有了。

3. Though she was outspoken, free and easy with everyone, no one ever gossiped about her behind her back.

虽然她对大家很随便爽快,可是大家没在背地里讲论过她。

第三、这个短语还用于表示生活舒适安逸,无拘无束,愉快,无忧无虑的。我们来看下面的3个例子:

1. She likes a free and easy life and never troubles over trifles.

她喜欢无忧无虑的生活,从不为小事烦恼。

2. The old lady leads a free and easy sort of life and never troubles much about anything.

老太太过着一种自由自在生活,从不为任何事情操心。

3. I wish I was a bachelor like you, Mark; you're free and easy and can do anything you want.

Mark,我希望我同你一样是个单身汉,你无拘无束,可以随心所欲。

第四、这个短语还可以用于表示人与人之间的关系不紧张,大家相处很随和,不拘于礼节。我们来看下面的3个例子:

1. Alice is very free and easy when she's with her friends.

Alice和朋友们在一起总是无拘无束的。

2. Don't worry about formality at my parents' house —— it's always very free and easy there.

在我父母家不必讲究礼节-那里总是个无拘无束的地方。

3. The teacher was free and easy with his students.

那位老师和他的学生彼此之间无拘无束。

第五、Free and easy作为名词,它还有在酒吧间的聚会,低级的音乐厅,酒吧间和旅馆的意思。

好,亲爱的朋友们,今天的这招说随便很简单记忆,非常熟悉的2个单词连用,free and easy。

我们在为人上要free and easy,自然我们朋友就多,生活就有乐趣。但是我们在对待工作和学习上,生活态度、作风上不能太free and easy,要more careful,否则会遭来非议,搅乱我们的心情。朋友们,您说呢?

我们今天的学习就到这里,记住下回再来接招哦。我们下回再见。
