(单词翻译:单击)

开篇语:Good morning, all my dear listeners! Welcome to our Morning Class . I’m Juliet. As a saying goes, An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. So, I’m hoping that you can spend a meaningful time here.

课题详解:There is a sentence to indicate a speaker agrees with a statement that’s been made. It’s similar to saying You’er right. Let’s get it in the following situational dialogue.

(Scene:It happens between two buddies who are talking about weather.)

Mary:I’ve been freezing in this winter weather we have been having.

John:I know where you are coming from. Everyone feels cold.

The answer is I know where you are coming from. It means I know why you are saying like this and agree with your idea. The Chinese for it is——我知道你为什么这么说了。

Another situational dialogue, let’s have a look at:

Rose:Doctors are black-hearted nowadays. I felt sick yesterday and went to the doctor.

Richard:I know where you are coming from. You mean it cost you an arm and a leg, right?

Tip 1 : Here is an idiom:an arm and a leg. It means very expensive. For another example:The tickets cost an arm and a leg but it'll be worth it.

Tip 2 : Here is a composite word:black-hearted. It means to be immoral here. For another example:It's black-hearted to steal.

课堂互动:Here are some questions prepared for you. You’er required to answer them when finishing listening to the recording. The questions are as follows:

1. How has Mary been feeling this winter?

2. How does John express he agrees with Mary?

2. Are the doctors kind-hearted nowadays?

4. Why does Rose say the doctors are black-hearted?

Now listen:

Dialogue 1:

Mary: I’ve been freezing in this winter weather we have been having.

John:I know where you are coming from. Everyone feels cold.

Dialogue 2:

Rose:Doctors are black-hearted nowadays. I felt sick yesterday and went to the doctor.

Richard:I know where you are coming from. You mean it cost you an arm and a leg, right?

The suggestive answers are as follows:

1. Mary has been feeling freezing this winter.

2. He agrees with Mary by saying I know where you are coming from.

3. No, they aren’t. They are black-hearted.

4. Because her medical costs are very expensive.

课堂总结:Today we’ve learned one short sentence used in spoken English. It is——I know where you are coming from. And by the way we know about an idiom:an arm and leg.

结尾语:Another saying goes, An early bird catches the worm. So, what’s your harvest for tomorrow morning? Please watch over our Morning Class. Let’s call it a day. Thank you for your participation in today’s study activity. See you next time!
