开篇语:

Hi, everyone! This is Keke Net English. Welcome to Juliet’s Morning English Class. As a saying runs. An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. And a nother saying goes, An early bird catches the worm. So, what are you going to get at this morning? Do follow me and I am hoping that we can spend a wonderful and meaningful time here.

课题详解:

We’ve a way to indicate that the reason for something happening can now be understood. It is like to say I see the reason why.... Guess what it is. Let’s listen to the following mini situational dialogue to get the answer.

(Scene:It happens between two persons who are talking about wine. )

A:I left a bottle of wine outside your door last night.

(译文:昨晚我把一瓶酒忘在你家门口了。)

B:I wondered where it came from. That explains it.

(译文:我还说哪儿来的一瓶酒了,这下明白了。)

Have you got the answer? It is That explains it. The Chinese for it is—— 原来如此。or 我这才明白。 Here are some short sentences well-picked from hit American films or TV series. Let’s take a look at:

1.Oh, okay, that explains it. I got a call at two two in the morning.

(哦,原来如此呀,难怪我凌晨2点钟接到电话。)

Tip: to get a call means to receive a call.

2.That explains it. You have a major crush on her.

(原来是这样啊,你彻底被她迷住了。)

Tip: to have a rush on sb is an idiom which means to have feelings for sb, or love sb. For another example:

Our English teacher seems to have a crush on Mary who is our classmate.

(译文:我们的英语老师似乎对班上同学Mary有点意思了。)

In addition, here is a sentence which is similar to saying That explains it. It is It all adds up. For example:

1.It all adds up. You aced it in the final exam because you had cheated in it.

(译文:原来如此,你在期末考试得满分是因为你作弊而得到的。)

2.It all adds up. She has done anyone else such an unscrupulous shot in the eye because she is the boss’s pet.
(译文:哦,我这才明白,她如此肆无忌惮地恶意中伤每个人,是因为她是老板的宠物。)

课堂互动:

Okay, next I need your cooperation——be active and answer my questions, finishing listening to the above dialogue again. First of all, I tell you myquestions. It is:

What does B confused about? And what does he wonder?

Now, listen:

A:I left a bottle of wine outside your door last night.

B:I wondered where it came from. That explains it.

Thesuggestive answersis:

A is confused about the bottle of wine left outside his door. He wonders where it came from.

课堂总结:

Today we’ve learned one short sentence used in spoken English. One is——That explains it; the other is——It all adds up. Both of them means I see the reason why...

结尾语:

Let’s call it a day and be an early bird tomorrow morning to watch over Juliet’s Morning English Class from Keke Net English. Juliet is here. See you next time.
