对话精讲

第一、 地道表达

1. 习惯用语

see eye to eye

2. 解词释义

改习语出自《圣经.旧约.与以赛亚书》“听啊，你守望之人的声音，他们扬起声来，一同歌唱。因为耶和华归回锡安的时候，他们必须亲眼看见”。（Thy watchman shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.）现在用之表示“意见一致，看法相同”。

3 语法用法

表示在某个问题上某件事情上看法一致，在短语后面加上on，即：see eye to eye on something。表示和某人看法一致，在短语后面加上see eye to eye with somebody。表示某些人在某件事情上一件一致，语序如下：see eye to eye with somebody on something。

3. 支持范例

e.g.I think we see eye to eye on that subject.

我认为我们在那个问题上看法一致。

e.g.It is a mere coincidence that they see eye to eye on this point.

他们在这一点上见解一致完全是巧合。

e.g.Though we don't quite see eye to eye with each other on this, our thinking is very close.

对于这件事情，虽然我们的意见不完全一致，但是我们的想法却是非常接近的。

e.g. He may not see eye to eye with me, but he's no call to insult me in that way.

他尽可以不同意我的意见，但他没有理由那样侮辱我。

第三、句海拾贝

1.That is to say...

1. 释义：

那就是说........

2. 支持范例

e.g. Next Monday, that is to say, the 14th of April.

下星期一，那就是说四月十四日。

e.g. At last, on the Friday morning, I was turned out, that is to say, I was driven away.

最后，星期五早晨，我遭到他们的驱逐，也就是说，他们竟把我赶了出来。

从今天起三星期后,即五月一日,你必须把报告交上来。

e.g. He didn't go, that is to say, it is not recorded that he did.
