Attention Please….特別提醒
[你可以請(qǐng)外教幫你訓(xùn)練下面句子/詞組的正宗美式發(fā)音]
[1]I think I have fallen in love with her。我想我是愛(ài)上她了。英語(yǔ)中表示愛(ài)某人的方法有很多。除了最長(zhǎng)見(jiàn)的I love you之外I am head over heels in love with her。我徹底的愛(ài)上她了。I'm crazy about her..我對(duì)她十分著迷I am infatuated with her我為她神魂顛倒。
[2]Crush crush的意思是迷戀,這與我們所說(shuō)的愛(ài)可不一樣。它通常指學(xué)生對(duì)老師或是影迷對(duì)影星的感情。他們常說(shuō)的一句話就是:Did you have a cursh on her?你喜歡她嗎?很多年輕人不喜歡長(zhǎng)期的關(guān)系[long-term relationship]他們更喜歡去派對(duì)或是酒吧泡妞兒。
[3]雖然這個(gè)詞譯成精神伴侶,可實(shí)際生活中它相當(dāng)與中國(guó)的"唯一"或是"志同道合"。英語(yǔ)里類似的表示方法還有a kindred spirit比如說(shuō)Marco and Shadow are kindred spirits.Marco和Shadow是志同道合的一對(duì)兒。
