大概都知道,英文里有許多單詞可以有好幾種解釋,有時(shí)使得學(xué)英語(yǔ)的人感到很糊涂,到底這個(gè)詞是什么意思。就拿 odd 這個(gè)詞來(lái)說(shuō)吧,僅僅只有三個(gè)字母,可是卻有好幾個(gè)意思。它可以形容某個(gè)很奇怪的人或者行為,也可以指一、三、五這樣的單數(shù),它還可以解釋為“多一點(diǎn)”,如: fifty-odd men,意思是“五十幾個(gè)人”。Odd 這個(gè)詞還可以和別的詞合在一起用,當(dāng)然和不同的詞合在一起它的意思也就不同。例如:Oddball。要是你說(shuō)某人是個(gè) oddball,那就是說(shuō)這個(gè)人表現(xiàn)的很奇怪,和一般人不一樣。我們來(lái)舉個(gè)例子吧:
My friend Joe is certainly an oddball. In the summer he puts his shoes in the refrigerator at night so his feet will be cool when he goes to work in the morning.
我的朋友喬真怪。在夏天,他晚上把鞋子放在冰箱里,說(shuō)是第二天上班去的時(shí)候,腳可以涼快一點(diǎn)。
世界上的怪人還是很多的。下面這個(gè)例子說(shuō)的那個(gè)人也是怪得出奇:
And another oddball is Bill, especially when it comes to food. Can you believe it, he even puts catchup on his ice cream. Talk about oddballs!
另外一個(gè)很怪的人是比爾,特別是在吃東西方面。你信不信,他吃冰淇淋的時(shí)候竟然還要加蕃茄醬。真是什么怪人都有!
