廣播學口語:假裝開心
大家好,笨小孩廣播學口語準時與大家相約,Andy 送上最誠摯的問候, good day, everyone !今天我們來學習的兩個俚語是He always plays cat and mouse with me. 和I’m as happy as the day is long.
我們先來看第一句俚語He always plays cat and mouse with me 除了“玩”,還有 “裝扮”的意思,cat,“貓”,mouse,“鼠”。Play cat and mouse, 又裝貓, 又裝鼠, 總是變換不定,也就是“對(某人)時好時壞,忽冷忽熱”的意思。He always play cat and mouse with me,就是“他對我總是忽冷忽熱的”。
冰冰很喜歡阿磊,可阿磊並沒有表示什麼,只是時好時壞,讓冰冰深陷情網,難以自拔。 冰冰對好友阿丹說:“He always play cat and mouse with me .I really don’t know what to do.(他對我總是忽冷忽熱的。我真不知道該怎麼辦。)”
阿丹聽了很生氣,便去找阿磊說:“You’d better not play cat and mouse with her you don’t like her, just tell her directly.(你最好不要對她忽冷忽熱的。如果你不喜歡她,就直接告訴她。)”
確實,被人弄得進退兩難的感覺很糟,大家對人對事的態度還是明確一點好,免得耽誤了自己,也耽誤了別人。
下面我們來看第二句話I’ m as happy as the day is long. Happy是“開心,快樂”的意思。Happy as the day is long. 快樂得有一天那麼長,也就是“非常快樂”的意思。I ’ m as happy as the day is long,就是“我非常快樂”。
冰冰的生日來臨了,阿磊請她去吃飯。飯後,阿磊帶着她去海邊放焰火。臨走時,冰冰看着阿磊說:“I’ m as happy as the day is long.(我非常開心。)” 阿磊握起冰冰的手深情地望着她說:“Seeing you are so happy, I’ m also as happy as the day is long.(看到你這麼開心,我也很高興。)” Andy也希望大家天天都能開開心心的,Happy be with you,快樂常伴。
在今天的節目裏,我們學了兩句俚語He always plays cat and mouse with me 和I’ m as happy as the day is long.大家都會用了嗎? 我是笨小孩英語的Andy老師,下次再見!
