脱口而出

1 语意表述:某人去某地做某事

套用句型:Sb goes to somewhere for something.

句型操练:I will go to American for a ballet competition.

我要到美国参加芭蕾舞比赛。

2 语意表述:某人能够做某事,可以做成功

套用句型:Sb manages something.

句型操练:The little girl manages the heavy stone.

这个小女孩能够举起这个很重的石头。

指点迷津:表达这个语意主要是运用到“manage”这个动词,它的意思“对付,处理”。

3 语意表达:伺候着主人或客人用餐,例如:在吃饭中更换碗碟等。

套用句型:Sb is waiting at table.

句型操练:I would like to book a room in your restaurant where there are waiters wait at table.

我想在贵店预定一个有服务生伺候用餐的包厢。

4 语意表达:某人还没有资格谈论某事,谈论这件事情还轮不到他来指指点点的。

套用句型:It is not for me to say.

句型操练:——How do you think of my new manager’s secretary?——Sorry!It is not for me to say. I have just been here for three days.

——你觉得我们经理的新秘书工作如何?——对不起,还轮不到我说话,我才来这里工作三天。

5 语意表述:服务或者工作质量等等水准降低。

套用句型:Something fall below the way things ought to be.

句型操练:The three-star hotel has been falling below the way things ought to be.

这家三星级酒店服务质量一直在下降。

6 语意表述:某人做某事是不公平的,不合理的。

套用句型:It is unfair on sb to do something.

句型操练:It is unfair on me to ask me to clean up the entire house myself.

要求我一人打扫整个房子是不公平的。

指点迷津:这个意思的表达主要用到关于unfair的短语搭配——be unfair on somebody。

7 语意表述:某人的现状没有旁人认为它理应处于的那个程度。

套用句型:Sb is not as+adj.+as+he should be.

句型操练:—— You must work very hard, I think. ——Not really. I am not as hard as I should be.

——我想你学习一定非常用功。——才没有了,我没有你想的那么用功。

妙语连珠

1 as for:至于,关于

e.g As for the cost, that will be very little.

至于费用,那将是徽不足道的。

2 be sad about:因......而伤心,难受

e.g. I am pretty sad about not going.

不能去让我感到很伤心。

3 in a moment:立刻,马上

e.g. He has turned me sick in a moment.
