【发音】/juː/ /nəʊ/ /kæm/ /ˈmeɪ.bi/ /ɪts/ /taɪm/ /ˈlɪl.i/ /lɜː(r)nd/ /əˈbaʊt/ /lɒs/ /lɑːs/
【发音技巧】learned about连读；about loss不完全爆破；
【翻译】小卡，你知道吗，也许莉莉该学着接受失去这件事情了。
【适用场合】
今天我们来学习的英文说法是it's time (that) sb. did sth.，表达“是时候该做某事了”；
当加强语气的时候，我们也可以说：It's high time/It's about time that...，来看看对应的英文解释：It is used for saying that something should be done or happen immediately or very soon.
这里为什么从句当中要用一般过去时呢，因为这里是虚拟语气的用法，带有“现在已经有点晚了，这个事情早就该做了”的含义；
eg: It's time you went to bed.
你该睡觉了。
eg: It's time somebody told him the truth.
是时候有人告诉他真相了。
eg: It's time we left.
我们该走了。
eg: It's time somebody stopped him.
总得有人出来制止他。
eg: It's time we had a serious talk.
我们是时候好好谈一谈了。
eg: It is high time that someone gave him the punishment he deserves!
早该有人给他应有的惩罚了！
eg: It's high time you started thinking about saving for your old age.
你早就该开始为养老存钱做打算了。
eg: It's high time that this room was properly cleaned!
这间屋子早就该好好打扫一番了！
