英语老师瑶瑶

【句子】I'm just thinking out loud here. 【Modern Family S3E20】 【发音】/aɪm/ /dʒʌst/ /ˈθɪŋ.kɪŋ/ /aʊt/ /laʊd/ /hɪə(r)/ 【发音技巧】just thinking不完全爆破;thinking out连读;out loud不完全爆破; 【翻译】我也只是随便说说而已。 【适用场合】 今天我们来一起学习一下这样一个表达,叫做:think out loud,字面的意思是:“大声思考”,但其实指的是“把思考的过程说了出来,一边想一边说”;一般用于描述当一个人没有完全组织好自己的想法,直接口头表达思考过程的场景,可能是希望理清思路或者征求意见、或者跟其他人讨论。 to verbalize one's thoughts, especially when trying to produce a solution or conclusion about something; eg: I'm just thinking out loud here, but maybe we should try a different approach. 我只是在边想边说,但或许我们应该试试不同的方法。 eg: Let me think out loud for a moment - what if we change the design completely?" 让我边想边说——如果我们彻底改变那个设计会怎样? eg: Let's think out loud and see if we can come up with a solution. 我们边想边说,看看能不能找到解决办法。 eg: He wasn't making a decision. He was just thinking out loud. 他并不是在做决定,他只是在表达思考过程。 eg: I'm just thinking out loud - don't take it too seriously. 我只是随便说说,别太当真。 eg: Those weren't really suggestions for a solution. I was just thinking out loud. 那些其实并不是真正的解决方案,我只是在自言自语。 eg: Sorry. I didn't really mean to say that. I was just thinking out loud. 对不起,我并不是有意那么说的,只是随口一说。 【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 Sometimes it helps to think out loud when solving a problem.

【摩登家庭】“越来越多的老年人过着积极而充实的晚年生活。”

英语老师瑶瑶

【句子】And my husband...who drove around I don't know how many senior citizens today to the polls. 【Modern Family S3E19】 【发音】/ənd/ /maɪ/ /ˈhʌz.bənd/ /huː/ /drəʊv/ /əˈraʊnd/ /aɪ/ /dəʊnt/ /nəʊ/ /haʊ/ /meni/ /ˈsiː.ni.ə(r)/ /ˈsɪt.ɪ.zənz/ /təˈdeɪ/ /tʊ/ /ðə/ /pəʊlz/ 【发音技巧】And my不完全爆破;drove around连读;don't know不完全爆破; 【翻译】还有我的丈夫,他四处开车,今天不知道拉了多少老年人去投票站。 【适用场合】 今天我们来一起学习一下这样一个表达,叫做senior citizens,意思是:“老年人”,大家可能会说老年人不就直接说old people或者the old就好了,但其实这样的称呼往往老年人心里听到并不怎么舒服。 英文中我们使用Euphemism委婉语,可以将“老年人”表达成senior citizen,字面意思是:“年长的公民”,但可以理解成:an older adult and especially one who is aged 65 or older; eg: The city offers free bus passes to senior citizens over 65. 该市为65岁以上的老年人提供免费公交卡。 eg: This restaurant gives a 50% discount to senior citizens on weekdays. 这家餐厅工作日对老年人打半价。 eg: More and more senior citizens are living active, rewarding lives. 越来越多的老年人过着积极而充实的晚年生活。 【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 Senior citizens qualify for a discount at the movie theater.
