【句子】-- Everything ok? -- Oh yeah, this dress is just riding up as it is. 【Desperate Housewives S1E14】 【发音】[ˈev.ri.θɪŋ] [‚əʊ'keɪ] [əʊ] [jeə] [ðɪs] [dres] [ɪz] [dʒʌst] ['raɪdɪŋ] [ʌp] [æz] [ɪt] [ɪz] 【发音技巧】dress is连读；just riding 不完全失去爆破；as it is两处连读+美音浊化； 【翻译】-- 没事吧？-- 没事，就是这个裙子，一直不停往上跑。 【适用场合】 首先，Mike说的Everything ok? 其实是口语当中才会说的随意一些的说法，如果大家造句子，要把前面的is补上。 Is everything ok? 一切都还好吗？ 之后Susan说： This dress is just riding up as it is. 什么叫ride up? ride 本身有骑马的意思，有关ride up 今天讲两层意思： 1. 骑着马接近某物/某人 to approach sb. or sth. on horseback eg: The sheriff rode up to see what the two suspicious characters were up to. 警长骑着马，想看看那两个可疑人物到底要做什么。 2. 就是今天视频中的用法，指衣物一直往上跑，往上缩 to gradually move or slide upward on one's body eg: My underwear keeps riding up! 我的小裤裤一直往上跑！ eg: I really love this dress, but it keeps riding up on me whenever I stand up. 我真挺喜欢这连衣裙的，但是每次我起身，这裙子都一直往上缩。 然后呢Susan这句话末尾还有一个as it is 这个短语我们之前节目当中有提到过，这里稍微复习一下。 1. at this point in time; already 已经 eg: I don't need to be getting sick now. I have enough things to worry about as it is. 我现在可不能生病，我已经有够多事情需要烦心的了。 2. as the situation is at the moment 事实情况是（语气中带有点失望） Mary: Can we afford a new refrigerator? Fred: As it is, it would have to be a very small one. Mary: 咱还能买得起一个新冰箱吗？ Fred: 额……这个，估计只能买个很小的了。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 I really need to work harder for this exam.

Having me serve you must be a dream come true. -- Can’t complain. -- 你一定窃喜万分吧！让我为你服务，你梦想成真了。 -- 是的，挺好的呢。 Can’t complain. 的日常用法 不要直接翻译成：不能抱怨；而应该是一切都还挺好的，因为没什么可抱怨的。 理解成：Things are fine -- How are you? -- Oh, I can't complain = I'm all right. -- 你最近如何呀？ -- 挺好的啊。（没什么可抱怨的） blip 本意指的是：雷达上的一个的点 a small spot of light, sometimes with a short sharp sound, that appears on a radar screen 引申义指的是： 一个短暂的变化；一个没什么重要性的变化，不会带来什么大的影响； A blip in a situation is a sudden but temporary change or interruption in it. 或者也可以理解成It’s a temporary change that does not have any special meaning. eg: Last month's rise in inflation was described by the chancellor as only a blip. 财政大臣认为上个月通货膨胀的加剧只是暂时的现象。 eg: It was nothing, just a blip.
