Grandpa 在家中起居室里等Susan 來吃晚飯。他們見面后,Grandpa 和Susan
講到了打自己退休以后,每天都有很多時間不知道該如何打發(fā)。
Grandpa : Is that you, Susan?
Susan : It's me, Grandpa. Grandpa : Am I glad to see you !
Susan : And am I glad to see you ! I am also glad to be here. Grandpa
: How are things ?
Susan : I have been talking to a group of sales men since ten this
morning , and I'm real exhausted. Grandpa: Well , you look good. What's
Harry doing tonight ?
Susan : He and Michelle are visiting relatives in New Jersey today.
Grandpa : The rest of our family went to the movies. So it's just you
and me, Susan. Susan : It's nice to be alone with you , Grandpa. We
don't get to see enough of each other. Grandpa: Oh , I feel the same
way , Susan. I miss seeing you. But to tell the truth, next time I'd
like to go into the city and meet you there , instead of you coming here.
Susan : You don't need to do that, Grandpa. Grandpa : Yeah , I do.
I need to get out more. Well, I mean there's a lot to do around the house,
and I love being here with the family , you know , but I'm restless.
Since I retired , I've got extra time on my hands. Susan : I understand,
Grandpa. Grandpa: I think you do. Frankly, I'd like to use my brain
a little more.
「語言點精講」
1. It's me, Grandpa. It's me.是我。這是非正式用法。正式用法應(yīng)該是
It's I. 但是大多數(shù)美國人用非正式用法。另外這句話主語用的It. 講話時如果
看不見對方,彼此稱呼時常用that,it,this等詞,如上一句話: Is that you,
Susan ?
2. Am I glad to see you !
見到你我真高興!這種句子形式上是問句,實際上是感嘆句,加強(qiáng)感情和語
氣。
3. I have been talking to a group of sales men since ten this morning,
and I'm real exhausted. 我從今天上午十點鐘一直在同一批推銷員談話,真是
筋疲力盡了。
I have been talking to…我一直在和(他們)談……。這是現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行
時的表達(dá)法,表示從過去某一時間一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動作或狀態(tài)。
real:確實。這是一個非正式用法,正式用法應(yīng)該是really或very.
4. It's nice to be alone with you , Grandpa. 能跟你單獨在一起很好,
爺爺。
to be alone with you:單獨和你在一起。
6. We don't get to see enough of each other.我們見面的時候不多啊。
get to:有機(jī)會或時間做某事。表示通過一個過程逐漸做到某事,或花費一
定的力氣做到某事。
7. Oh , I feel the same way, Susan. I miss seeing you.我也這樣感
覺,蘇珊。我見不到你時很想念你的。
I feel the same way :我也有同感。我有同樣的感覺。
miss doing sth. :在這里指“懷念作某事,懷念做過的事”。
8. But to tell the truth, next time I'd like to go into the city
and meet you there, instead of you coming here.可是跟你說真心話,下次
我愿意到市內(nèi)去,在那兒見你,而不是讓你上這兒來。
to tell the truth :說實話,老實說。類似含義的表達(dá)還有frankly , to
be frank with you , as a matter of fact, frankly speaking 等。
instead of…:而不是…,不是…而是。
9. Since I retired, I've got extra time on my hands. 打從我退休以
來,我手頭有許多多余的時間無法打發(fā)掉。
time on my hands:可以自由支配的時間,無法打發(fā)的時間。on one's hands
常含有“必須自己承擔(dān)或解決的負(fù)擔(dān)”的意義。
