笨小孩口語(yǔ)廣播(41)看這個(gè)倒霉蛋!

字號(hào):

Nowadays, we have a new kind of booming industy. Here we call it as "lottery industy". That is true. 我相信很多人都買過(guò)彩票,可是不知道中獎(jiǎng)的到底有多少,反正Andy老師還沒(méi)有中過(guò)!那么對(duì)于這樣的大批人,他們可以算是倒霉蛋了,Once I had a friend who was dreaming to win the 5 million RMB Prize, but how's the result? Later we'll talk about it in detail.
    1. He is a poor fish. 他是個(gè)倒霉蛋!
    Here this sentence is trying to say that he is really so unlucky. And in this sentence you can see a word "poor", it does not mean that he has no money at all. 在這個(gè)句子里面你可以看到poor這個(gè)詞,它的意思不是“貧窮”,而是說(shuō)他真的可憐之極!For example, my friend Tom has been buying lottery since last year, but he has never won any prizes! Even worse, his girlfriend broke up with him just because of this! What a poor fish! 我的這個(gè)朋友到最后沒(méi)了金錢,也丟了老婆,多么可憐的家伙!不過(guò)我們這里暫且不管他,先記住這個(gè)句子:He is a poor fish. 他是個(gè)倒霉蛋!
    In fact, we can also say "He is a poor fellow". It has the same meaning as "He is a poor fish."這兩個(gè)句子的意思是一樣的!好下面我給出大家一些場(chǎng)景,然后你用上這個(gè)句型來(lái)表達(dá)他是不是個(gè)倒霉蛋:
     Jim failed in the final examination, even worse, he failed again in the make-up exam. Is he a poor fish?
    NO.2 Charle's girlfriend had been on good terms with him, but finally she found another guy and left him. Is Charle a poor fish?
    NO.3 Andy's wallet was stolen on the bus. Is Andy a poor fish?
    2. I am all at sea. 我不知所措!
    Just now I have said that Andy's wallet was stolen on the bus. What a poor fish! 當(dāng)然了,這些都是虛擬的場(chǎng)景,Andy可不想詛咒自己丟錢包,所以我們這里假設(shè)丟錢包的是Lewis, 而且我們?cè)傧胂驦ewis正準(zhǔn)備去買一束玫瑰話,可是錢包丟了,沒(méi)有買成,Then when he noticed that his girl was so disappointed at this, he would be quite awkward and would be all at sea. 如果本來(lái)說(shuō)定了,要帶著玫瑰來(lái)見(jiàn)她,那么Lewis肯定會(huì)非常的尷尬和不知所措,這個(gè)時(shí)候我們就可以說(shuō)he is all at sea.
    Here for this phrase, you can imagine that when you are at sea and cannot make sure which way to go, you may probably get lost.如果真的在大海上迷失了方向,你會(huì)很迷茫,所以be all at sea表示“不知所措”就由此而來(lái)。
    Up to now, if you are still all at sea, please listen to this program again and again, I am sure you will be clear about the two sentences. 好,如果我講了很多讓你很迷茫的話,那么Andy可以告訴你今天簡(jiǎn)單的任務(wù)就是記住這兩個(gè)句子:He is a poor fish. 他是個(gè)倒霉蛋!還有, I am all at sea. 我不知所措!
