  迷你对话:

A: I hated 1 the hand-me-downs to wear when I was 2 a kid 3.

我小时候就讨厌穿别人的旧衣服。

B: That’s understandable. Every kid likes new clothes.

那时可以理解的,每个孩子都喜欢新衣服。

A: It was not just that. I didn’t like them because they never fitted 4 me.

不仅仅是那样,我不喜欢是因为它们从来都不和我的身。

地道表达:

hand-me-down

解词释义:

hand作为动词是“传递”的意思,down作为副词是“往下”的意思,hand-me-down是个复合词,可做名词,意思就是“传给我的东西”,我们用于物品上,就是指“别人用过的旧东西”“现成的廉价衣服”。它也可做形容词,意思是“传下来的;现成而价廉质次的”。

小编喇叭:

这个复合词做名词时是可数名词,我们可以看到对话中用到的是hand-me-downs。

支持范例:

Twenty years ago my brother and sisters all have to wear hand-me-downs.

十年前我们兄弟姊妹都必须穿旧衣服。

The younger 5 children wore the hand-me-downs of the older ones.

较小的孩子穿兄姐们的旧衣服。

Heirlooms are not just hand-me-down artifacts anymore 6.

传家宝不再仅仅是二手的手工艺品了。
