介绍:
【句子】After forty-eight hours of crash dieting, Gabrielle prepared to savor the fruit of her labor.【Desperate Housewives S2E7】 【发音】/ˈɑːf.tə/ /ˈæf.tər/ /ˈfɔː(r).ti/ /eɪt/ /aʊə(r)z//əv//kræʃ/ /ˈdaɪ.ətɪŋ//,ɡɑ:bri:'el/ /,ɡæbri:'el/ /prɪˈpeə(r)d/ /tʊ/ /ˈseɪ.və(r)/ /ðə//fruːt/ /əv/ /hɜː(r)/ /ˈleɪ.bə(r)/ 【发音技巧】forty闪音;hours of连读;dieting闪音;prepared to失去爆破;fruit of连读+闪音; 【翻译】经历了48个小时的快速节食以后,加布丽儿准备品尝胜利果实。 【适用场合】 今天我们来学习两个表达,第一个:crash diet,可以指:“(通过节食的)快速减肥”; a way of losing body weight quickly by eating very little; 这里diet可以当名词用,也可以当动词用。 本期视频中diet明显当成动词用了; eg: He went on a crash diet and lost 20 pounds in a month. 他通过节食快速减肥,一个月瘦了20磅。 eg: Crash diets are unsustainable and can cause weight fluctuation that may damage metabolism and could lead to eating disorders. 节食快速减肥是没办法一直持续的,而且能导致体重的波动,这有可能会损坏人体的新陈代谢,还可以导致饮食失调。 今天还要学习的第二个表达是:savor the fruit of labors,这个短语中fruit也有用复数fruits的,末尾labor也有用单数的;都表达“品尝胜利的果实、品尝努力付出的果实”这个意思; 此时的the fruit of labors可以指:the outcome or rewards of one's work or efforts; eg: You worked hard this semester, and straight A's are the fruit of your labors. 你这学期很努力,全A的成绩是你的胜利果实。 eg: Please, have some fresh strawberries—they're the fruit of my labors in the garden. 请尝尝新鲜的草莓,它们是我在花园努力劳作的果实。 eg: Retirement is a time to relax and enjoy the fruit of your labor. 退休了,该是时候放松,享受你的辛勤劳作的成果了。 【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 It's an efficient lawn mower that leaves you time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
