对话精讲

第一 地道表达

steal a march on somebody

1 解词释义

此语原来指“当有的军队还在休息时,有的军队已经开始进军了”,因此就有“抢先一步,暗自陈仓”“巧妙地先发制人”“着人先鞭 ”之意。

2 支持范例

The army stole a march on the enemy by marching at night and attacking them in the morning.

部队凭夜里行军早晨攻击偷袭了敌人。

The truth is, you're pissed off because we stole a march on you.

事实真相是:因为我们一声不响地抢在了你们的前面,所以你们恼羞成怒了。

第二 词海拾贝

as well:adv. 也

e.g. I write my own songs and I play the guitar as well.

我唱自己谱曲的歌,也弹吉他。

e.g. Often life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.

大都市外面的生活步调往往是缓慢得多,这在其他国家也是真的那样。

第三 口语句型

What about...?

使用情境:用于征求别人的意见。

句型用法:What about something?

What about doing something?

句型操练:The job's done, that's all well and good but what about the bonus 2 we were promised?

工作完成了,好倒是好,但是答应给我们的奖金给不给?
