身临其境练一练

Friends,《老友记》

A:Right, I've got to be off, I'll see ya.

甲:是的，我该走了。再见了。

B:Buh-bye then.

乙:再见。

A:Wow! You guys seem to be having a good time.

甲:哇！看起来你们相处得很谕快。

B:Oh yeah, she's …she's amazing. And …and she's so much fun. And, Y'know what? When I'm with her, I'm fun! I do things like run off to Vermont, and you guys saw the doorknob. I even signed up for helicopter classes. (Chandler is shocked.) She's leaving in two days, I don't have to do it.

乙:对，她人…她人很棒,而且…而且很有趣。而且你知道么？跟她在一起时，我也很有趣！我会跑去佛蒙特，你们也看见那个门把手了，我甚至报名学开直升机。（钱德勒看上去很吃惊)她过两天就走了，我不必真学。

A:Oh, no, two days, you must be bummed.

甲:噢，不，两天，你一定很失望吧。

B:Yeah, she's got to go back to London. But you know what? Fve been prepared for this from the start. We both knew we had two weeks together, and that's it. Y'know.

乙:是啊，她非回伦敦不可，不过你知道吗？我早就有心理准备。我们都知道我们只 有这两周待在一起，仅此而已。

A:Hey, that's what all my relationships are like.

甲:嘿，我的每段恋情都是这样。

B:Yes, but in Ross's case, they both know in two weeks that's it.

乙:是的，但是罗斯他们是“双方”都知道只有两周。

生活口语

You know what. I signed up for a dance class. I've always wanted to learn how to dance.

你知道嘛,我报了一个舞蹈课程，我一直都想学。

I'm happy for you.

我真为你高兴。

重点讲解:

I enrolled a dance class.

I signed up for a dance class.

报名参加舞蹈班，可以说I enrolled a dance class, enroll有“登记，参加”的意思，但是口语中用这个词表示“报名参加”稍显正式，短语sign up for会更加口语一些，所以这句话还可以表示为I signed up for a dance class.
