【句子】-- Let’s go, kid. Back to the salt mine. -- That's okay, Jay. I'm biking to school today. 【Modern Family-S2E11】 【发音】[lets] [gəʊ] [kɪd] [bæk] [tʊ] [ðə] [sɒlt]/[sɑ:lt] [maɪn] [ðæts] [ˌəʊˈkeɪ] [dʒeɪ] [aɪm] [baɪkɪŋ] [tʊ] [sku:l] [təˈdeɪ] 【发音技巧】back to完全失去爆破；salt mine不完全失去爆破；that’s okay连读； 【翻译】-- 走吧，孩子，送你回学校。 -- 不用了，Jay，我今天自己骑车去学校。 【适用场合】 salt mine字面理解是：盐矿 这里mine作名词用，指的是矿；并不是我们平时理解的：我的-名词性物主代词 盐井里面开采盐的工作是非常辛苦、单调乏味的， 所以有人曾经说是salt mine是the last place on earth you'd want to be 用来指特别辛苦又很乏味无聊的工作。 这里视频中，Jay说back to the salt mine 其实指的是回Manny的学校 因为对于很多学生而言，学校里面枯燥无聊死了，还必须要上学，很辛苦，就像salt mine一样。 eg: I've been working in this place for 29 years. It's a real salt mine and I'm just waiting to finish 30 years and retire and get a good pension. 我在这个地方工作已经29年了。真是又枯燥又无聊，还累得要死。我就等着干够三十年退休好好拿一笔退休金呢！ 英语中类似的用词，还有这个treadmill [ˈtred.mɪl] 经常用来指那种没什么技术含量，无聊累人的类型的工作 any type of repeated work which is boring and tiring and seems to have no positive effect and no end eg: There were days when child-rearing seemed like an endless treadmill of feeding, washing and nappy-changing. 曾经有一段日子，照顾孩子仿佛就是一直在没有尽头地重复喂奶、洗洗涮涮、换尿片这样的事儿。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 My life has been a treadmill lately.

Fire away.” -- “我能问你点事儿吗？” -- “当然可以，尽管问吧。” 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 -- 我有些话不知道该不该说。 -- 你尽管说吧。
