被没过头顶的水所淹没,难免会让人窒息和恐惧。英语表达 “in over your head” 正是借用这个字面场景,来形容那种 “超出能力范围,感觉无法应对” 的无力感。不过,可别把这个表达和 “over your head” 搞混了。想知道它们之间的区别吗?听本期 “地道英语” 节目 。
单词 “label” 和 “tag” 虽然都译为 “标签”,但它们的用法有所区别。“Tag” 通常指 “系挂在物品上的标签”,如吊牌;而 “label” 多指 “固定在物品上的标签”,通常是粘贴、缝制或印刷上去的,如水洗标。此外,它们的引申义和在特定场景下的用法也各不相同。听节目,跟主持人步理和 Becca 学习这两个单词的用法。
有时候,我们说不准自己的感觉从何而来,却偏偏预感到某件事即将发生。这种 “说不清,道不明,但心底里就是愿意相信的预判”,在英语里就可以用 “have a hunch” 来表达。这里的 “a hunch” 指的是 “一个直觉或预感”。听节目,跟主持人菲菲和 Becca 学习这个表达的用法。
在引述他人的话时,我们通常会使用 “indirect speech(间接引语)” 这种引述方式。不过,你真的掌握了间接引语的规则吗?比如,哪些时态需要 “降级”?哪些代词或表时间的词必须变化?听节目,跟主持人步理和 Phil 学习使用间接引语时的注意事项。
不同于代表 “客观事实” 的 “truth”,“given” 侧重于描述一种 “未必真实、却被默认肯定会发生” 的既定状态。表达 “take it as a given” 指的就是 “将某事视为理所当然的前提或已知条件”。听节目,跟主持人菲菲和 Phil 学习这个表达的用法。
你可能已经掌握了 “tag questions(反意疑问句)” 这种特殊句式的结构,比如主句和句尾的肯定和否定形式需要相反。不过,你是否知道在口语中,反意疑问句的语调也至关重要,它甚至能直接影响整句话的含义?听本期节目,跟主持人步理和 Georgie 学习在口语中使用反意疑问句时,不同语调之间的区别和用法。
在突发状况面前,反应敏捷的人往往能抢占先机。英语中,表达 “think on your feet” 就生动地描述了这种 “在压力下快速思考并果断决策” 的能力。它传达出一种 “be on your feet(随时待命,蓄势待发)” 的状态,准备随时应对任何挑战。听节目,跟主持人菲菲和 Phil 学习 “think on your feet” 的用法。
形容词作定语时,该放在名词前还是名词后?为什么在表达 “没房间了” 时,通常用 “no room available” 这种后置结构,而不是 “no available room” 呢? 其实,形容词位置的变化不仅关乎语感是否自然,有时还会改变句子的含义。这是为什么呢?听节目,跟主持人步理和 Becca 一起学习形容词前置和后置的习惯和规律。
