   Subject : We might as well pay them a call.


  第一, 迷你对话
  A: As we and the Jacksons are in the same neighborhood, we might as well pay them a call. I want to bright a bunch of flower to them.
  Jacksons和我们住在附近,我们去拜访一下他把,我想送一束花给他。
  B: That’s all right. Is there anything we need to do?
  没问题。我们还需要带什么呢?
  第二, 地道表达
  pay sb. a call
  1. 解词释义
  Pay a call的字面意思是“打完电话后付费”,引申为“拜访”的意思。有这样一种猜想:有了电话后,人们相互之间的联系方便多了,去别人家拜访前一般先得打个电话预约。打电话是要付费用的,所以人们就用“付电话费”来表示“去别人家拜访”。
  2. 拓展范例
  e.g. I have omitted paying you a call for fear of disturbing you.
  我怕打扰你而没有来拜访你。
  e.g. I've never even ventured to pay him a call at his home myself, though I know him so well.
  我自己从来没有贸然登门拜访过他,虽然我很了解他。
  e.g. It would be, well, rather awkward 1 for me to pay you a call.
  唔,如果去拜访您呢,对我有些不便。
  e.g. I will pay you a call at six o'clock, if that is all right to you.
  如果对你方便的话,我将在六点前来拜访。
  第三, 咬文嚼字
  1. in the neighborhood:在附近
  e.g. She is a good aunt to all the children in the neighborhood.
  她是街坊上所有孩子的好阿姨。
  e.g. Nobody else in the neighborhood can help.
  邻居中找不到谁还能帮忙。
  2. might as well:不妨,还是……的好
  e.g. Since you have started the job , you might as well finish it.
  既然你开了头, 爽性把它做完吧。
  e.g. We might as well have another talk with him.
  不妨同他再谈一次。

adj.笨拙的,尴尬的,使用不便的,难处理的
  • John is so shy and awkward that everyone notices him.约翰如此害羞狼狈,以至于大家都注意到了他。
  • I was the only man among the guests and felt rather awkward.作为客人中的唯一男性,我有些窘迫。
