词汇讲解
1.let's say...口语用辞,并没有实际含义。
拓展:I'm just saying. 我就说说嘛!
当我们因为说了一些不中听的话而惹恼(或惹怒)听话人的时候,我们可以赶紧来一句“I'm just saying.”,安抚对方的情绪。
A: Hey! Are you accusing me of being stupid?你怎么可以这样说?你觉得我太笨了吗?
B: I'm just saying! 我不是故意要冒犯你,只是说出我的看法而已。
2.a couple of phrase.
释义:表不确定的数量,和a few可以替换,但数量上少于a few.
例句:
口语里可能省去of: a couple minutes vs a couple of minutes.
3.to the end
释义:到底,始终,到最后; 到头
例句:We must carry the experiment through to the end, not give up halfway.
这项试验一定要搞到底,不能半途而废。
