详细解说

3.详细解说

1.固定搭配“be in love with...”的意思是“爱上…，爱着…”，强调状态，例如：I'm in love with the most beautiful girl in my
class.（我爱着我们班最漂亮的那个女孩。）另外，“fall in love with...”意思与“be in love with...”相近，但更强调动作，可译为
“爱上…”，例如：He fell madly in love with Ellen the first time he saw her.（他第一次见到艾伦时就狂热地爱上了她。）
2.“get married to...”的意思是“与…结婚”，相当于动词“marry”，后面直接跟结婚的对象，例如：He got married to/married a
girl from his hometown.（他与一位同乡的女孩结婚了。）

4.文化洗礼

“N多”是多少

人们在批评或责备别人时，经常会用到“N多”这种说法，其中隐含了一种懊恼、不耐烦的情绪。比如，“我都说了N多遍了，你就是不听。”
其实，“很多”甚至不规范一点的“超多”都可以表达同样的意思，但这丝毫不能阻挡“N多”流行的脚步。有意思的是，英语里也有类似的情况。“many”、“a great deal of”和“umpteen”都有“多”的意思，但“umpteen”在美国的年轻人一族里却日益流行起来。举例如下：
What's up with Jody today? She has made umpteen mistakes in her speech so far.
Jody今天是怎么回事？她的演讲到现在已经出了N多个错了！
Don't listen to him. He always has umpteen reasons for sleeping in.
别听他瞎扯。他总有N多个睡懒觉的理由。
在口语中，“umpteen"还可以变化或“umpteenth”，意为“第N个，第N次”等，仍用作形容词。
I received the umpteenth call from that Adam guy this morning. He just wouldn't believe he had the wrong number. Sheesh!
今天早上我接到了那个叫Adam的家伙打来的第N个电话。他就是不肯相信他手上的号码是错的。真该死！
For the umpteenth time, I'm telling you, I'm not a junkie. I yawn a lot because I lack sleep. OK?
我第N次向你郑重宣告，我不是瘾君子。我哈欠连天是因为我缺乏睡眠。听清楚了没有？
