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.
