核心句型:
Whoa, that is a bombshell.
哇,那真是个惊人的消息啊!
a bombshell直译过来就是:“一个炸弹,一个突发事件”,这个短语的正确意思是:“令人震惊的人或事或消息”。因此,当美国人说"Whoa, that is a bombshell."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"That news is really amazing."、"That's a really breaking news."。
情景对白:
Shirley: Honey, I hear that our manager is going to be promoted and transferred to the headquarters in New York.
雪莉:亲爱的,我听说我们经理要升职了,并被调到纽约总部去。
Benjamin: Really? Whoa, that is a boomshell. Guess who will be the new manager?
本杰明:真的吗?哇,那真是个惊人的消息啊!猜猜谁会是新任经理呢?
