地道美語(yǔ)表達(dá)【67】Baby, 你就是我的

字號(hào):

漢語(yǔ)中含數(shù)詞的成語(yǔ)很多,比如一箭雙雕,半斤八兩等等。英文中含數(shù)詞的成語(yǔ)亦十分的傳神,在接下來(lái)的幾講里我們就將給大家介紹幾個(gè)。
    二加二等于幾,是不是一定等于四?讓我們先看下面這個(gè)句子吧!
    They came to the conclusion that he hadn't run out of the courty,putting two and two together.
    (譯文:根據(jù)事實(shí)推斷,他們得出這樣的結(jié)論,他還沒(méi)有逃出這個(gè)國(guó)家。)
    這里put two and two together從字面上看是指“把二和二放在一起”,但實(shí)際上這個(gè)片語(yǔ)的意思是“根據(jù)現(xiàn)實(shí)情況而聯(lián)想推斷”。想想,要正確判斷事實(shí)是不是需要從其正反兩方面反復(fù)推敲,再綜合評(píng)定?所以人們用put two and two together來(lái)表示“根據(jù)事實(shí)推斷?!?If you put two and two together, you work out the truth about something or yourself, by using the information that is available to you.
    又如:
    Michelle always smiled to Ken and bought lunch to him every day. Putting two and two together, Ken eventually realized that Michelle really liked him.
    (譯文:Mechell總是對(duì)著Ken笑,并每天都給他買午餐。Ken最后綜合情況評(píng)定,Mechelle真的喜歡上了他。)
    在英語(yǔ)中用一些含數(shù)詞的成語(yǔ)及習(xí)語(yǔ)會(huì)使語(yǔ)言更加豐富多彩,生動(dòng)活潑,從而使文章達(dá)到良好的修辭效果。比如下面的句子:
    Rose is my one and only, I love only her.
    (譯文:Rose是我的那一位,我只愛(ài)她一個(gè)。)
    從這個(gè)句子中我們看到另一個(gè)數(shù)字片語(yǔ)one's one and only,它的意思是“某人的心上人,的那一位”,也就是指“某人心愛(ài)的人?!边@里,我們可以看出用數(shù)字來(lái)表示某些意思會(huì)顯得很有說(shuō)服力,語(yǔ)氣的強(qiáng)烈程度也就不言而喻。The idiom used to emphasize that someone is the only one you love. 當(dāng)兩個(gè)人正當(dāng)纏綿時(shí),你對(duì)你的女朋友說(shuō)上這么一句,呵,她會(huì)幸福死的。
    In the happy kingdom of love, you are my one and only ,Oh, I believe You and I will stop breathing at the same time.
    (譯文:在幸福的愛(ài)情國(guó)度里,你就是我的,哦,我相信我們會(huì)在同一個(gè)時(shí)間停止呼吸。)
    需要注意的是這個(gè)片語(yǔ)有時(shí)演變?yōu)閠he one and only, 用在名人剛出來(lái)表演時(shí)的介紹語(yǔ)當(dāng)中,此時(shí)是為了起強(qiáng)調(diào)突出作用?!皌he one and only”can be used in front of the name of an actor, singer or other famous person when they are being introduced on a show. For example:
    …One of the greatest ever rock performers, the one and only JeChen.
    結(jié)束語(yǔ): 筆者單位七月份才從大學(xué)里分來(lái)了一位女生,人長(zhǎng)得滿清秀,不過(guò)幾日,我那個(gè)室友又是送花,又是為人家購(gòu)買各種家具,對(duì)人家日常生活也是無(wú)微不至的關(guān)懷著。根據(jù)現(xiàn)有情況綜合推斷(put two and two together),我那個(gè)室友肯定是想成為人家所愛(ài)的人(become someone's one and only)。
