身临其境练一练

The Big Bang Theory,《生活大爆炸》

A:What sort of experiment would you propose?

甲:你计划做何种实验？

B:There's a generally accepted pattern in this area. I would pick you up, take you to a restaurant. Then we would see a movie, probably a romantic comedy featuring the talents of Hugh Grant or Sandra Bullock.

乙:这个领域有种普遍接受的模式。我去接你，带你去餐厅。接下来我们可以去看场电影，也许是一部休格兰特或桑德拉布洛克天才演绎的浪漫轻喜剧。

A:Interesting. And would you agree that the primary way we would evaluate either the success or failure of the date would be based on the biochemical reaction during the good night kiss?

甲:有意思。你是否同意，我们评价约会成败主要是基于离别之吻时的化学反应？

B:Heart rate, pheromones, etc. Yes.

乙:心跳速度、生化信息素等等，确实是这样。

A:Why don't we just stipulate that the date goes well and move to the key variable?

甲:我们干嘛不假定约会很顺利，直接进入关键的可变部分？

B:You mean kiss you now?

乙:你的意思是现在就吻你？

A:Yes.

甲:是的。

生活口语

It's Friday night. Shall we go to the movies tonight?

周五晚上到了。我们今晚去看电影吧?

Sounds good. Is there a particular movie you want to watch?

好啊，你有特别想看的电影吗？

重点讲解:

Let's go to see a movie, shall we?

Shall we go to the movies tonight?

周末放松，跟朋友去看场电影是不错的选择。询问对方“我们今晚去看电影吧？可以说：Let's go to see a movie, shall we?但是这种说法稍显正式，老外常简单地说：Shall we go to the movies tonight? go to the movies就代表“去影院看电影”。
