昨天我们的翻译答案是:我身材走样了,最近喝太多啤酒了。
I am out of shape; too much beer lately.
One of my student’s parents called me to ask about his son’s progress. “I haven’t seen him in 2 weeks, I thought he was sick” I said. We later found out he skipped class。He was pretending he was sick. He went to smoke with his friends. “I promise I’ll turn over a new leaf” (改过自新)he said. “Good, but remember a leaf only has two sides, you can’t turn it over a third time”.
一位学生家长打电话给我咨询儿子的进度。“我两周都没见到他了。他不是生病了吗?”后来我们发现,原来他假病告假,去跟朋友抽烟去了。“我答应我会turn over a new leaf的”(改过自新,就好比一片树叶翻到另一边)。“好,但记住每片树叶只有两面,不能再翻了”(最后一次机会)
重点表达
turn over a new leaf
改过自新,洗心革面
For example
朗读例句
I will turn over a new leaf, please give me a chance.
我会改过自新的,给我一次机会吧。
