时间:2019-01-21 作者:英语课 分类:迷你对话学地道口语
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.
