Treat Oneself
I want to buy that new car.
Why don't you?
I can't afford it.
Go ahead and treat yourself. You deserve it.
犒劳自己
我想买部新车。
要就去买啊!
我买不起.
放手去犒劳自己吧!你应得的。
解说:
treat oneself, 这个词组非常重要,”treat” 是对待的意思,这里给它一个新的定义~那就是「犒劳自己」。当我们工作或读书很辛苦之后,我们可以犒劳自己去吃喜欢吃的冰淇淋或热狗,我们可以说 “I treated myself to an ice cream and a hot dog.” “treat”除了对待自己以外,还可以招待别人 “ I treated him an ice cream.”
例句:
I treated myself to an ice cream and a hot dog.
我犒劳自己去吃冰淇淋跟热狗。
