李华(LH)和Larry(LL)讨论情人节的安排。 LL: So, Lihua, I know you said that you didn't want me to buy a Valentine's Day gift for you, but I wasn't born yesterday. I can tell you're expecting something romantic. LH: 我情人节唯一的愿望就是能跟你一起渡过!我们可以一起做晚饭,然后去看电影。你刚才说自己wasn't born yesterday是什么意思啊? LL: Saying someone was born yesterday, means that they are very easy to fool. I said that I wasn't "born yesterday" because you can't fool me. LH: 我知道了,说什么人was born yesterday意思就是说这个人容易受骗,有点象中文里说的“三岁小孩。” LL: That's right. Even though you won't admit it, I think you would love to receive some flowers or chocolates for Valentine's Day. LH: 你心真细!不过,我确实不想要什么礼物,跟你在一起就足够了。不过你别生气,我可不是说你傻。 LL: No, you didn't call me foolish. In the US, stating that you "weren't born yesterday" is a way to joke around with friends. If you say that you "weren't born yesterday," you're expressing that you aren't gullible. LH: 我明白了,you said you weren't born yesterday ,是因为你觉得我肯定想要你送情人节礼物给我。 LL: We both know I wasn't really born yesterday. What I meant was that I have known you for so long that I can tell you are looking forward to a romantic Valentine's Day gift. LH: 你可真够固执的。那你说,born yesterday什么时候才会带有贬义呢? LL: If you are speaking with someone, for example one of your students, who don't know who Zhang Ziyi is, and you say 'Were you born yesterday? She's a famous Chinese movie star! LH: 那别人肯定会不高兴。这就等于是说,你怎么连这都不知道! LL: That's right. Asking someone if they were "born yesterday" implies that they misunderstood a subject that is rather simple to understand or that is common knowledge. 实践证明经常访问无忧英语教育网 www.51education.net ,能迅速提高你的英语学习能力!积沙成塔,不断提高! 本站所提供的所有信息仅供学校课堂教学及英语学习者学习研究之用,其著作权归原作者及媒体所有。 |
