字號(hào):

英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)是被英語(yǔ)國(guó)家人民普遍應(yīng)用的口頭交流的語(yǔ)言形式。英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)靈活多變,多因場(chǎng)合與發(fā)言者不同而被自由使用。以下文章由整理歡迎閱讀!
    1. set a record
    They want to set a record by making Buffalo's largest cookie.
    他們想打破布法羅的曲奇的紀(jì)錄。
    I checked the sales receipts, and we've just set a record.
    我看過(guò)了營(yíng)業(yè)額,我們剛創(chuàng)下新紀(jì)錄。
    【小知識(shí)】
    如果說(shuō)set/put the record straight,就跟打破紀(jì)錄沒(méi)多大關(guān)系了,它的意思是陳述*;澄清是非。
    She's decided to write her memoirs to set the record straight once and for all.

    chalk sth up的意思是獲(勝);得(分),比如:
    New world records in the track and field events are chalked up from time to time in the past few years.
    近幾年來(lái)經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)新的世界田徑紀(jì)錄。
    3. create/establish/make/register a new record

    她創(chuàng)造了歐洲跳高的新紀(jì)錄。
    4. beat/smash/shatter a previous record
    beat、smash和shatter都有打、打破的意思,這幾個(gè)詞是不是比break更激烈更生動(dòng)呢?
    She beat the world record in the three events she entered on her way to two gold medals and a silver.
    她在三項(xiàng)競(jìng)賽中打破了世界紀(jì)錄,獲得兩枚金牌和一枚銀牌。

    這部電影打破了以往所有的票房紀(jì)錄。
    5. surpass all previous records
    surpass的意思是超過(guò),優(yōu)于,勝過(guò),比如:
    His time for the 100 meters surpassed the previous world record by one hundredth of a second.
    他以0.01秒的優(yōu)勢(shì)打破了100米短跑的前世界紀(jì)錄。
    形容出乎意料就可以用到這個(gè)詞哦:
    The book's success has surpassed everyone's expectations.
    這本書(shū)獲得了出乎所有人意料的成功。
    口語(yǔ)里也有刷新紀(jì)錄的表達(dá),可以翻譯為:amend/rewrite/renew/better/improve a record。
    好啦,既然本篇重點(diǎn)就是record,介紹兩個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)吧。
    ①off the record 私下說(shuō)的;不供發(fā)表的
    She made it clear that her comments were strictly off the record.
