Grandpa 在家中起居室里等Susan 來(lái)吃晚飯。他們見(jiàn)面后,Grandpa 和Susan
講到了打自己退休以后,每天都有很多時(shí)間不知道該如何打發(fā)。
Grandpa : Is that you, Susan?
Susan : It's me, Grandpa. Grandpa : Am I glad to see you !
Susan : And am I glad to see you ! I am also glad to be here. Grandpa
: How are things ?
Susan : I have been talking to a group of sales men since ten this
morning , and I'm real exhausted. Grandpa: Well , you look good. What's
Harry doing tonight ?
Susan : He and Michelle are visiting relatives in New Jersey today.
Grandpa : The rest of our family went to the movies. So it's just you
and me, Susan. Susan : It's nice to be alone with you , Grandpa. We
don't get to see enough of each other. Grandpa: Oh , I feel the same
way , Susan. I miss seeing you. But to tell the truth, next time I'd
like to go into the city and meet you there , instead of you coming here.
Susan : You don't need to do that, Grandpa. Grandpa : Yeah , I do.
I need to get out more. Well, I mean there's a lot to do around the house,
and I love being here with the family , you know , but I'm restless.
Since I retired , I've got extra time on my hands. Susan : I understand,
Grandpa. Grandpa: I think you do. Frankly, I'd like to use my brain
a little more.
「語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講」
1. It's me, Grandpa. It's me.是我。這是非正式用法。正式用法應(yīng)該是
It's I. 但是大多數(shù)美國(guó)人用非正式用法。另外這句話主語(yǔ)用的It. 講話時(shí)如果
看不見(jiàn)對(duì)方,彼此稱呼時(shí)常用that,it,this等詞,如上一句話: Is that you,
Susan ?
2. Am I glad to see you !
見(jiàn)到你我真高興!這種句子形式上是問(wèn)句,實(shí)際上是感嘆句,加強(qiáng)感情和語(yǔ)
氣。
3. I have been talking to a group of sales men since ten this morning,
and I'm real exhausted. 我從今天上午十點(diǎn)鐘一直在同一批推銷員談話,真是
筋疲力盡了。
I have been talking to…我一直在和(他們)談……。這是現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行
時(shí)的表達(dá)法,表示從過(guò)去某一時(shí)間一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)。
real:確實(shí)。這是一個(gè)非正式用法,正式用法應(yīng)該是really或very.
4. It's nice to be alone with you , Grandpa. 能跟你單獨(dú)在一起很好,
爺爺。
to be alone with you:?jiǎn)为?dú)和你在一起。
6. We don't get to see enough of each other.我們見(jiàn)面的時(shí)候不多啊。
get to:有機(jī)會(huì)或時(shí)間做某事。表示通過(guò)一個(gè)過(guò)程逐漸做到某事,或花費(fèi)一
定的力氣做到某事。
7. Oh , I feel the same way, Susan. I miss seeing you.我也這樣感
覺(jué),蘇珊。我見(jiàn)不到你時(shí)很想念你的。
I feel the same way :我也有同感。我有同樣的感覺(jué)。
miss doing sth. :在這里指“懷念作某事,懷念做過(guò)的事”。
8. But to tell the truth, next time I'd like to go into the city
and meet you there, instead of you coming here.可是跟你說(shuō)真心話,下次
我愿意到市內(nèi)去,在那兒見(jiàn)你,而不是讓你上這兒來(lái)。
to tell the truth :說(shuō)實(shí)話,老實(shí)說(shuō)。類似含義的表達(dá)還有frankly , to
be frank with you , as a matter of fact, frankly speaking 等。
instead of…:而不是…,不是…而是。
9. Since I retired, I've got extra time on my hands. 打從我退休以
來(lái),我手頭有許多多余的時(shí)間無(wú)法打發(fā)掉。
time on my hands:可以自由支配的時(shí)間,無(wú)法打發(fā)的時(shí)間。on one's hands
常含有“必須自己承擔(dān)或解決的負(fù)擔(dān)”的意義。
