Let's … get some cotton candy.
對(duì)話
Jilly: This takes me back, I haven't been to the seaside since I was a child.
Nicola: I haven't been for ages either.
Jilly: Tell you what, let's go on the pier and get some cotton candy.
Nicola: But that's for kids and it's pure sugar; it'll ruin your figure.
Jilly: I don't care, it was one of my favorite things to have when we came to the seaside.
Nicola: Well if you're going to relive your childhood, I'm going to have to do the same.
姬利：這使我想起從前。我長(zhǎng)大后,就沒(méi)有到過(guò)海邊。
尼科拉：我也很久沒(méi)到過(guò)海邊了。
姬利：我們?nèi)ゴa頭買些棉花糖吃吧。
尼科拉：但那是小孩子吃的,而且是用糖做的,會(huì)使你變胖起來(lái)。
姬利：我不在乎。我小時(shí)候來(lái)到海邊,就愛(ài)吃棉花糖。
尼科拉：嗯,假如你要重溫童年滋味,我只好奉陪了。
姬利來(lái)到海邊,說(shuō)This takes me back。Take back有‘使想起從前’含義,也作carry back。The old photograph carried/took me back to my childhood即‘那張舊照片使我想起兒時(shí)’。
姬利又對(duì)尼科拉說(shuō): Tell you what, let's get some cotton candy。這tell you what是口頭常用語(yǔ),也作I/I'll tell you what ,習(xí)慣用來(lái)提出建議或加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣,例如: (1)We've run out of sugar, but I tell you what, I'll go and buy some.(我們沒(méi)有糖了,我去買些吧)。(2)Tell you what, I don't like him(告訴你,我不喜歡他)。‘棉花糖’叫cotton candy,例如: I ate lots of cotton candy when I was a child(我小時(shí)吃過(guò)不少棉花糖) 。英式英文則叫‘棉花糖’為candy floss: floss是‘絲線’,當(dāng)然也是指棉花糖的形狀。Floss還有另一個(gè)常見(jiàn)的意思: 牙線,即dental floss。這個(gè)floss還可作動(dòng)詞,例如: I clean between my teeth with floss every evening/I floss my teeth every evening (我每晚都用牙線清潔牙縫)。
尼科拉聽(tīng)見(jiàn)姬利說(shuō)很久沒(méi)到過(guò)海邊,就說(shuō)I haven't been(to the seaside) for ages either。這個(gè)either 是‘也’的意思,可不可以用also或too取代?答案是‘不可以’。有否定含義的句子,用either說(shuō)‘也不’;有肯定含義的,才用also或too說(shuō)‘也’,例如(1) "I didn't much enjoy the movie." "I didn't, either." ( 我不大愛(ài)看這部電影。’‘我也是。’) (2) "I enjoyed the film." "I also enjoyed it/I enjoyed it too." (‘我喜歡這部電影。’‘我也喜歡?！?
