【句子】You know what? Be that as it may…Do you think you can just help us out here on that monkey thing, you know, just for old times’ sake? 【Friends-S1E19】 【发音】[ju:] [nəʊ] [wɒt]/[wɑ:t] [bi:] [ðæt] [æz] [ɪt] [meɪ] [du:] [ju:] [θɪŋk] [ju:] [kæn] [dʒʌst] [help] [ʌs] [aʊt] [hɪə(r)] [ɒn]/[ɑ:n] [ðæt] ['mʌŋki] [θɪŋ] [dʒʌst] [fɔ:(r)] [əʊld] [taɪmz] [seɪk] 【发音技巧】as it may连读+不完全失去爆破；just help不完全失去爆破；that monkey不完全失去爆破；just for不完全失去爆破；old times’ 完全失去爆破； 【翻译】尽管如此，这次看在老同学的面子上，猴子的事情能帮帮我们吗？ 【适用场合】 be that as it may 即使如此；尽管那样；话虽说如此； 结构上看是倒装了，语气上看slightly formal这个表达比较偏正式 It is used to mean that you accept that a piece of information is true but it does not change your opinion of the subject you are discussing 就是1. 我承认某一个信息是正确的，真实的，或者我承认你说得对。 2. 但是这并不影响在某件事情上我的看法、我的观点。 eg: Yes, my daughter made a mistake.

【句子】I guess it’s partially my fault. You know? I mean, I shouldn’t have asked you to start off with a monkey.

(informal) to show sb. sth. or tell sb. about an idea in order to see their reaction to it （口语）跟某个人说某事，想看看TA啥反应，或者问问这个人看法如何 也可以说run sth. past sb. eg: I have an idea I'd like to run by you. 我有个想法想跟你聊聊。 我有个主意想让你帮我看看。 eg: OK, run the plan by me one more time. 你也可以说OK, run the plan past me one more time. 好的，把那个计划跟我再讲一遍。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 I'll take these papers home and read them, and I want to run them past our lawyer.

【句子】Hang on, hang on. Does Aunt Monica get a say in this? 【Friends-S1E19】 【发音】[hæŋ] [ɒn]/[ɑ:n] [hæŋ] [ɒn]/[ɑ:n] [dʌz] [ɑ:nt]/[ænt] [&`&mɒnɪkə]/[&`&mɑ:nɪkə] [get] [ə] [seɪ] [ɪn] [ðɪs] 【发音技巧】aunt英美发音区别；get a 连读； 【翻译】稍等一下，Monica姑姑对此事有发言权吗？ 【适用场合】 hang on我们之前节目中讲过啦 指的是：稍等一下 to wait for a short time eg: Hang on a minute - I&`&ll be with you in a moment! 等我一下！马上就来！ 今天我们重点学习的表达是 have a say in sth./get a say in sth. 在某件事情上有发言权 eg: The council made the decision. We had no say in the matter. 委员会已经做了决定，我们在这件事情上没有发言权。 其实口语中介词in也可以换成on来使用 然后当中的a 也可以换成one’s eg: Residents are being given a chance to have a say on the future of their town. 关于整个小镇的发展，镇上的居民们被给予机会各抒己见。 eg: I&`&m speaking now. You can have your say later! 我现在正在说话呢，你的意见可以过一会儿再说。 the final say 最终决策权（其他人说完了之后，这个人最终拍板） the responsibility for making a decision, although other people can give their opinions first eg: The boss gets the last say/word in hiring. 在雇佣相关的事宜上，老板拥有最终决策权。 学过新概念第一册的小伙伴们应该非常熟悉， 在课本L89，最后一句： Women always have the last word. 女人总是最后说了算。 其实在这里意思也是类似的。 这里Ross他说 Unclench! 怎么理解呢 本意指的是撬开，松开 这里可以理解成Relax! 让Monica放松！ 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 The best thing about working for a smaller company is that it finally feels like everyone has a say in how it should operate.

【句子】I don’t know about you guys, but I just want to relax and put my feet up. 【Modern Family-S2E3】 【发音】[aɪ] [dəʊnt] [nəʊ] [əˈbaʊt] [ju:] [gaɪz] [bʌt] [aɪ] [dʒʌst] [wɒnt]/[wɑ:nt] [tʊ] [rɪˈlæks] [ænd] [pʊt] [maɪ] [fi:t] [ʌp] 【发音技巧】don’t know不完全失去爆破；but I连读+美音浊化；want to完全失去爆破；put my不完全失去爆破；feet up连读+美音浊化； 【翻译】你们想干啥我不知道，但是我的话，现在只想好好把腿抬起来歇会儿。 【适用场合】 其实前两周我们节目当中，在学习Desperate Housewives S1E12 当中学过一个类似的表达： Take a load off. 表示 坐下歇会儿，歇歇脚。 to sit down and rest one’s feet; to relax 没印象的同学可以往回翻复习一下。 >>点我复习<< put one’s feet up 把两只脚都抬起来/跷起来，平放 to sit down and relax, especially with your feet raised and supported 把两条腿抬起来，坐下休息（一般腿是有支撑的） eg: After a hard day's work, it's nice to get home and put your feet up. 一天的疲惫工作之后，回到家抬抬脚歇歇真的很惬意。 eg: You should go home and put your feet up. 除了字面意思的理解之外，也可以直接说：你应该回家，好好休息一下了。 其实并不一定就是跷二郎腿，跷二郎腿可以说cross one’s legs 比如说：Don’t cross your legs. 别跷二郎腿。 因为很多正式场合中，跷二郎腿很不礼貌。 eg: She sat down and crossed her legs. 她坐下了，跷起了二郎腿。 那put one’s feet up很好理解，就是字面的意思，把脚抬起来 那如果是： put one’s foot down 注意这里是单数，是什么意思呢？把脚放下去？ 1. to refuse very firmly to do or accept something: 出面制止； eg: When she started borrowing my clothes without asking, I had to put my foot down. 当她开始连问都不问，就把我衣服借走的时候，我不得不出面制止了。 也可以指做某个决定不妥协，立场坚定； eg: She put her foot down and said we could not go to the carnival. 她立场非常坚决地说，我们不能去那场狂欢节。 2. to drive much faster （英）踩油门，加速行驶 eg: The road ahead was clear, so I put my foot down. 前面道路畅通，所以我踩了油门。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 As a manager, you have to put your foot down sometimes, or your staff will walk all over you.
