大家都在關(guān)注:19年7月國(guó)際學(xué)校開(kāi)放日全國(guó)優(yōu)質(zhì)國(guó)際高中國(guó)際初中國(guó)際小學(xué)推薦
在校友俱樂(lè)部的一間辦公室里,Philip 和Robbie 見(jiàn)到了密歇根大學(xué)的招生主任Charley Rafer.Robbie的面試開(kāi)始之前,Philip和Charley敘了一會(huì)兒舊。
Dean: Philip Stewart! It's great to see you!
Philip: Charley Rafer —— you look as young as ever. Dean: You must be Robbie. Robbie: Hi. Philip: Yes, this is my younger son Robbie. Robbie, I want you to meet one of the best tennis players on the Michigan team —— Charley Rafer. Robbie: Nice to meet you, Dean Rafer. Dean: Well, are you as good a tennis player as your dad?
Robbie: No, I'm not very good at it. Philip: Frankly, neither was I. Charley was the star of the team. Dean: Yeah. Thanks. Well, how've you been, Philip?
Philip: Oh, working too hard. Dean: Doesn't show. How's Ellen?
Philip: Fine, thank you. And how's Marge?
Dean: She's still giving the toughest English history exams in the school and loving every minute of it. And speaking of minutes, I have interviews until noon, so why don't we get right to work?
Philip: Can you have lunch with us later?
Dean: I'd love to, Philip, but I'm afraid I can't. I'm only here two days, and I have interviews with twenty-six applicants. Philip: I understand. Well, thanks. I'll wait outside. Good luck, Son.
「語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講」
1. Charley Rafer —— you look as young as ever. You look as young as ever: 你看上去還像當(dāng)年那么年輕。也可以說(shuō)“You haven‘t change a bit.”
“as +形容詞或副詞+as”句型表示“跟……一樣”, 是常見(jiàn)的表示強(qiáng)調(diào)的句法。
as…as中間也可以用名詞短語(yǔ),但名詞短語(yǔ)中必須有一表示性質(zhì)的形容詞來(lái)修飾名詞。如Rafer主任說(shuō)的: Are you as good a tennis player as your dad? (你的網(wǎng)球打得跟你爸一樣好吧?)
2. You must be Robbie.你一定是Robbie吧。must be表示一種有把握的猜測(cè)。
3. Frankly, neither was I. Charley was the star of the team.老實(shí)說(shuō),我打得也不太好。Charley是我們隊(duì)的明星選手。
frankly: 坦率地說(shuō)。也可以說(shuō)honestly. neither was I: 我也(打網(wǎng)球打)不好。neither短句表示“某人也不”,用倒裝句法。
the star of the team: 一群人中的明星,這里指球隊(duì)中的明星選手,也可以說(shuō)“the soul of the team”。star在口語(yǔ)中常作“出色的人”解。
4. Well, how've you been, Philip?
How've you been?: 這些年來(lái)你好嗎?可以用來(lái)問(wèn)候多年不見(jiàn)的朋友。
6. Doesn't show.倒是看不出來(lái)。用于表示某事、某種狀況并不明顯。
7. She's still giving the toughest English history exams in the school and loving every minute of it.她還是在學(xué)校里出最難的英國(guó)史考試題,且樂(lè)此不疲。
the toughest: 最難的,是形容詞tough的最高級(jí)。
English history: 英語(yǔ)史。這是一門(mén)介紹英語(yǔ)演變及發(fā)展的課程。
love every minute of it: 形容非常享受作某事的樣子,忙得樂(lè)此不疲。
8. And speaking of minutes, I have interviews until noon, so why don't we get right to work?
談到每一分鐘,我面談一直排到了中午,咱們馬上談?wù)略趺礃樱?/p>
speaking of: 說(shuō)起……來(lái)。轉(zhuǎn)移話題或開(kāi)辟新話題時(shí)常用的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白。
get right to: 馬上開(kāi)始。
