[交流] 词句表达学习系列之二十七 已有11人参与



今天我们要学两个常用语:No Skin Off My Back和in Somebody's Shoes.

LH: Larry, 我们得抓紧时间,赶快把箱子装上车,不然就要误机了。

LL: My gosh, Li Hua, your bags are so heavy! Why do you need to bring all this stuff back to China?

LH: 我们家亲戚朋友多。每个人都得送礼物,箱子能不重嘛!再者说了,反正有你帮我提。

LL: Well, they're definitely heavy. But since I needed to get some exercise anyway, it's no skin off my back.

LH: 什么?提提箱子腰就受伤了,你也太娇气了吧?

LL: Actually, Li Hua, when you say that something is "no skin off your back," that means it doesn't bother you, or it isn't a problem for you.

LH: 哦,我明白了。 No skin off your back意思就是不算什么,没什么大不了的。你说你反正需要健身,所以提几件重一点的行李,对你来说不是问题。

Larry和李华开车赶往机场。

LH: Larry, 雪越下越大了,能见度也很差,前面车都看不清楚了。

LL: I know. Do you think it's worth it to go all the way to the airport? The flights are probably canceled.

LH: 真的吗?可是我现在归心似箭,航班真要推迟,那我一定气死了。

LL: I know how you feel. If I were in your shoes, I would feel the same way.

LH: 你想穿我的鞋?我的脚可比你小多了。

LL: Actually Li Hua, when you say that you're in another person's shoes, that means you are facing the same situation as he is. But we only say if I WERE in your shoes, but never if I AM in your shoes.

LH: 我明白了,说in somebody's shoes意思就是“如果换成我”。你是说,你很理解我的心情,如果换成你,飞机临时推迟,你也一定会特别失望,没错吧?

LL: Exactly! But you know Lihua, you have to put yourself in the airlines' shoes. Even though all the passengers want to fly, the airlines have to think about the passengers' safety.


今天我们学了两个常用语。一个是no skin off my back, 意思是没什么大不了的。另一个是in somebody's shoes, 意思是如果处于某人的地位,或是境地。

大家继续学习哦
坚持学习会有奖励哦
一起学习共同进步\(^o^)/

no skin off my back~~~~~
四时院中竹叶缘,三更梦里墨书香,几度浮生度日暮,一溪烟月枕中藏,雨解情思风锁门,雾迷书亭幻入真。
