口语操练

1.【语意表述】某人想他人申请工作。

【句型模板】Somebody asks someone for the job wich is +从句。

【指点迷津】该句型用到ask for这个短语，其意思是“申请，请求”。表示具体的工作是什么，用上了定语从句，来修饰job.

【句型操练】Have you asked your department manager for the job which is to be a receptionist.

你想你们部门经理申请做前台接待员的工作了吗？

【句型出处】Did you really ask him for the job with the Crawleys?（译文：你真申请Crawley家的那份工作了吗？）

2. 【语意表述】某人厌倦做某事了。

【套用句型】Somebody is sick of something or doing something.

【指点迷津】该句型用到sick of这个短语来表示“厌倦，厌烦，讨厌”的意思。例如：

I'm sick of you prying into my personal life! （我讨厌你刺探我的私生活！）

I'm sick of all these books cluttering up my office.（我讨厌办公室里乱糟糟地堆放着这些书。）

3. 【语意表述】某人宁可做某事儿不愿做它事。

【句型模板】Somebody would rather do something than do something.

【指点迷津】此句型表示“宁可......不愿”的意思用到would rather...than这个结构。Would rather后面接动词原形，than后面也接动词原形。如果是否定句，直接在rather后面加上否定词not，再接动词原形。

【句型操练1】We would rather die than sell out our comrades.

我们宁死也不出卖自己的同志。

【句型操练2】He would rather die than live in dishonor .

4. 【语意表述】某人本不应该做某事的。

【句型模板】Somebody shouldn’t have done something.

【句型操练】You are out of job now. You should not quarreled with your boss.

你现在没工作了，你本不应该和你的上司吵架的。

In the hotel, the old men were drinking away as usual. 在旅馆里，这些老人和往常一样喝个不停。

Please carry on as usual while I am away. 我不在时，请照常干活。
