    英語筆記
    1.figure out 意為“想出,解決”。
    2.此處為省略句,省略了主語和助動詞,完整的句子為"Do you have any advice for me?"
    3.此處為說話人在思考,在說話時加入一些含糊的詞。
    4.Bag that idea!意為“打消那個念頭吧!”
    英語語音語調(diào)
    停頓的表示——我正在思考
    對話中,當Jack在說到要選什么課時,說話中加入了一些含糊不清的詞,這是表示他正在思考。這在即興講話中頗為常見,如果需要停頓未進行計劃或思考,就要保證該暫?;虺聊呛喍痰?,如果希望拖延時間未進行思考,就可以使用一些填充詞或停頓酌方法,如:
    1.在意群內(nèi)部使用填充詞:
    Can you give the... uh... paper?
    你能把那張紙給我嗎?
    2.也可以在意群之間使用停頓:
    His phone number is... I'm not sure.let me see... 68993722.
    他的電話號碼是……我不確定……讓我看一下……689937220。
