详细解说

3.详细解说

1.“wanna”是美国口语，“wanna=want to”，正式用语或书面用语应尽量避免使用。
2.“look around”的意思是“四处看看，四处逛”，逛街时，如果售货员问你买什么，你若无心购买，就可以说：I'm just looking around.（我只是随便逛逛。）
3.“feel up to（doing）sth.”意思是“感到有力气或精力去做某事，感到能胜任”。例如：I just didn't feel up to going.（我没有力
气去了。）He is scheduled to join the team in Liverpool late today if his back is feeling up to it.（如果他的背部没问题，升划
今天晚点儿时候他要去利物浦加入球队，）
4.“lame”在本对话中用作俚语，意思是“无聊的”，原意为“瘸的，跛足的”
5.“(a set of) wheels”在口语中表示“汽车”，例如：Do you like my new wheels?（你喜欢我的新汽车吗？）
