二十道填充题答案与解说

请网友注意, 你只能选择考卷底部所列出的最适当单字填写在每一空格(而且每个单字只能使用一次). 我花时间专门寻找出美国人经常使用的成语, 片语/词组, 句型来考验网友希望您经过考试来加强记忆. 我所选出的句子再实用不过了(I mean it), 希望网友不可错过这些学习机会, 也就是说每天抽一点时间来逛逛.

01. Good riddance, as far as I'm concerned.
解说: 依我看法(as far as I'm concerned), 摆脱某一讨厌事或物或看到某人滚蛋感觉真好(Good riddance). 这句话意指"如释重担"或"大快人心" . 这一题主要是让网友熟悉常用成语.

02. I told him if he didn't leave us alone, you would kick his butt.
解说: 我告诉他, 假如再打扰我们的话, 你就会揍他一顿. 请注意成语: "to leave someone alone"(不打扰某人), "to kick someone's butt"(击败某人或某队, 痛殴某人).

03. For some reason, I thought they broke up a long time ago.
解说: 不知何故(For some reason), 我以为(thought)他们很久以前就分手了(broke up a long time ago).

04. I wouldn't trade my health for a million dollars.
解说: 给我一百万美金我不会拿我的健康交换. 这句话是表示我很珍惜我的健康.

05. You may just have a crush on someone or you may be deeply in love,
解说: 你也许只是迷恋某人或者你也许真正深爱某人. "to have a crush on someone"主要是指短暂的迷恋(a passing infatuation), 并不是深爱.

06. You asked at what age you should be able to make your own decision.
解说: 你问到在哪一个年龄你应该能够替自己作决定. 在这题, 我是要加强网友对指示时间(to indicate age or position in time)的介词at的熟悉度.

07. My friend Mike has been going through some pretty hard times recently.
解说: 我的朋友麦克最近经历到(has been going through)一段相当的艰难日子(some pretty hard times).

08. Andrew is single after quietly parting ways with his longtime girlfriend Barbara last year.
解说: 安德鲁在去年不声张地与他的长期女友分手, 现在又回复单身. 这提主要是考验网友对"to part ways with …"(与…分手)这句成语熟悉度.

09. Does that mean you have to stay that way?
解说: (难道)这意味着你必须维持这个状况/态度? 这题是考验网友是否熟悉此类句型. 假如这句话是一种不满的问句, 而对方答覆是"是的", 你可以回答这句话: "Stay that way then"(如果是这样的话, 你就维持这个状况/态度吧)

作者按: 网友也许会问, 为什么我说出的英语总是缺一点老美英语的味道? 我想你一直在"英翻中"或"中翻英里"头忙碌, 你不会有太多时间来琢磨老美说话的小节, 例如: "Stay that way then", "It's hard work. I enjoy it though", "Don't write off Toyota just yet", "Age is nothing but a number", 等等.

10. I didn't say that either. What I did say was that it's fair to question a person's judgment if that person is seeking to be our next President.
解说: 我也并没说那句话. 我所说的是, 假如某人寻求下一任总统的话, 质疑此人的判断力是公允的. 这题我主要是强调以助动词, didn't, 为前文, 我们可以使用同一助动词, did, 在后文呼应. 在美国的文法原则中有一条叫作"parallelism", 也就是平行对应的技巧.

11. You would be surprised how many people believe they don't need a lawyer in court.
解说: 你会惊讶得知有多少人相信他们上法庭不需要律师(来代表他们打官司). 这题我要强调"would be surprised"常用语.

12. If I could, I would.
解说: 假如我能够做到, 我会做到. 希望网友能记住这句常用语.

13. Why would I lie to you? I don't even know you.
解说: 我都不认识你. 我干嘛骗你? 希望网友能记住"to lie to someone"这句常用语.

14. What do you mean by 'social justice'?
解说: 你的'社会正义'是什么意思? 希望网友能记住"to mean by …"这句常用语.

15. I love you not for who you are, but who I am when I'm by your side.
解说: 我爱你不是因为你的金钱/身份地位, 而是因为在你身边我可以完全作为自己(意指不须矫揉造作). 这一题与第十题一样地强调"parallelism", 也就是平行对应的技巧; 前文一个who, 后文也以另一个who相应.

16. I wish I could turn back the time. And I wish I wouldn't cry every night.
解说: 我希望能让时光倒流. 我也希望我每晚不哭.

17. Hey, I don't mean to offend you but it's just my two cents. No offense taken at all.
解说: 嘿, 我无意冒犯(don't mean to offend)你, 但是这只是我的一点意见(just my two cents, 谦虚语). 没关系, 我没感到被冒犯(No offense taken). 您瞧瞧一句话里有多少成语或常用语啊!

18. We are all packed up and ready to head home.
解说: 我们都以打包好了(all packed up)以及准备回家(ready to head home).

19. Let me know what I can do to make you a long-term client and I will do my best to meet your needs.
解说: 请你告诉我, 我该如何做才能使你作为长期客户, 我将尽力达成你的需求(to meet your needs).

20. When someone tells you that you “sound like a broken record”, he means that you are repeating the same thing over and over again.
解说: 当有人告诉你, 你听起来像个跳针唱片, 他是说, 你不停重复说同一件事. 这此考试, 我使用了mean跟means两个选择来看网友是否能区分他们的正确用法.
