Not yet. To him, the risk is, we'd succeed in saving my money but not the estate.

还没 对他而言 留住我的钱就要失去庄园

如果唐顿不保 他将无颜面对祖祖辈辈

脱口而出

1. 语意表述：某人自己到某人家里拜访做客。

句型套用：Somebody asks himself to stay.

指点迷津：这个句型表达此意的关键点灵活地运用了“ask+反身代词+动词不定式”这个结构。

句型操练：Mary will ask herself to drop by after she knocks off this afternoon.

玛丽要在今天下午下班后将来顺便到我家拜访。

句型出处：So, the young Duke of Crowborough is asking himself to stay.

2. 语意表述：告诫某人只是猜测不行，要把心中有疑问的事情弄清楚。

套用句型：There's no 'suppose' about something.

句型操练：There is no “suppose ” about his crime.

对于他是否犯罪猜测可不行。

句型出处：——I suppose so. ——There's no 'suppose' about it.

3. 语意表述：某种机会会到某人身上。

套用句型：It is the opportunity that comes to somebody.

指点迷津：表达此意的关键点用到定语从句和come to sb这个短语。Come to sb的意思是“降临到某人头上”或“发生在某人身上”。例如：The curse came to her. 厄运降临到她的头上。

句型出处：Of course, this is exactly the sort of opportunity that will come to Mary...

4. 语意表述：打点好事情，把事情安顿好。

套用句型：Somebody get things settled.

句型操练：My mother has get things settled that I will study abroad.

妈妈已经为我出国留学的事情大点好了。

指点迷津：这个句型表达此意的关键点是运用了“get something settled”这个动词短语结构。Get是“使役动词”，something是宾语，settled是过去分词作宾语补足语，get something done意思就是“完成某事”。例如：Have you get your assignment done? 你写完作业了吗？

句型出处：if we can only get things settled in her favor.

5. 语意表述：某人改变了原来固执的想法，我们常说这个人“脑袋开窍了”或者是“脑子拐弯了”。

套用句型：Somebody comes round.

指点迷津：此句表示此意的关键点时运用了come round这个动词短语。Come round的意思是“改变主意”。例如：He hasn't come round yet. Could you try and straighten him out? 他一时想不通，你开导开导他好吗？

句型操练： I've come round to the idea now.

我已经想通了。

句型出处：Is Robert coming round?

6. 语意表述：丧期结束，为某人戴孝期结束了。

套用句型：Sb is out of morning.

句型操练：I will be out morning by tomorrow that I can pay visits to my friends’ house.

我将在明日就服丧完，我可以到朋友家玩了。

句型出处：Well, give him a date for when Mary's out of mourning.
