美語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話 第177期:土耳其 Turkiye

字號(hào):

A couple of years ago, I went travelling around Europe and I think my favorite country was Turkey. I didn't see a lot of the country as such. I think we spent about 7 days in Istanbul, which was an amazing place. It was really, really interesting because you had the different cultures. It was slightly Westernized but mainly not and you'd hear the call to prayer five times a day and there was so much to see and do and they were really friendly there. Um, the weather was great and then after our 7 days in Istanbul we went right to the middle of Turkey to a place called Cappadocia, which was basically a place where everyone lived in caves because it was so hot and that was so interesting to see their way of life and mainly I think they just made their money from carpets, so we went into of carpet shops. They tried to get us to buy, the whole tourist thing, but they were such friendly, welcoming people. And I really liked Turkey and I want to go back and do the coastline and more things but Istanbul and Turkey in general is a place I'd recommend.
    幾年前,我去歐洲旅行了,我想我最喜歡的國(guó)家是土耳其。其實(shí)我并沒有游覽這個(gè)國(guó)家的太多地方。我想我在伊斯坦布爾待了7天的時(shí)間,那真是一個(gè)神奇的地方。那里真的非常非常有趣,因?yàn)槟憧梢泽w驗(yàn)到不同的文化。那里并沒有多少被西方化的影子,大體上來(lái)說不是,一天中你會(huì)聽到5次喚禱的聲音,那里有許多值得游覽的地方,有許多可以做的事情,那里的人們非常友好。嗯,天氣也很好,我們結(jié)束了在伊斯坦布爾的七天行程后,就直接前往埃及中部一個(gè)名為卡帕多西亞的地方,基本來(lái)說,那是一個(gè)所有人都住在洞穴里的地方,因?yàn)槟抢锓浅幔吹剿麄兊纳罘绞胶苡腥?,我想他們主要通過制造地毯賺錢,于是我們進(jìn)了一些地毯店。他們?cè)噲D說服我們買地毯,整個(gè)旅行中都是這樣,但是他們真的很友好,很熱情。我真的很喜歡土耳其,我想再去那里旅游,去海岸線看看,做更多的事情,總體來(lái)說,伊斯坦布爾和土耳其是我會(huì)推薦大家去游玩的地方。重點(diǎn)講解:
    1. as such
    (與否定詞連用)嚴(yán)格來(lái)說,真正意義上;
    eg. Mark joined as an office boy at the age of fourteen with no academic qualifications as such at all.
    馬克在14歲的時(shí)候以勤雜員的身份進(jìn)入公司,他當(dāng)時(shí)根本就沒有任何學(xué)歷。
    eg. There is no rudder as such, so the craft can be steered only when under power.
    沒有真正的方向舵,所以只有在動(dòng)力驅(qū)動(dòng)的情況下才能操控船只。
    注:as such 用于名詞后表示“本身”的意思;
    eg. House prices are easily upset by factors which have nothing to do with property as such. The fall in prices in the South-East results largely from the high rate of interest on mortgages.
    房?jī)r(jià)很容易受與地產(chǎn)本身無(wú)關(guān)的因素所影響。東南部房?jī)r(jià)的下跌很大程度上是由于抵押貸款利率的上漲所引起的。
    2. in general
    總的來(lái)說;總體上來(lái)看;大體上
    eg. I think we need to improve our educational system in general.
    我認(rèn)為有必要從整體上改進(jìn)我們的教育體系。
    eg. She had a confused idea of life in general.
    總的來(lái)說,她對(duì)生活非常困惑。
