日常英语口语对话:把袜子提起来
英语课
关键词:pull one's socks up 振作起来,努力改进
短语释义:今天我们要学的短语是pull one's socks up. Sock就是袜子的意思,pull one’s socks up从字面上来看就是把袜子提起来。说到这里呢我想到女孩子在夏天总爱穿上半透明的丝袜,目的自然是让自己的腿更好看一点儿,当然,当你精心打扮自己,自然也会振作起来,打算带着良好的精神面貌出门儿办事情。其实英国古代男士穿的那种服装小腿部分都是很紧的,不像现在的直筒裤,而往上拉一拉就给人一种下定决心准备好好干一番的印象。在英语里pull one's socks up就代表振作起来,努力改进。今天的图片上呢这位小男孩就对老师说:I pulled up my socks but it didn’t make any difference. 我已经努力改进了,但是和之前和之前没什么区别。下面我们再来听两个例句。
情景领悟:
1. His teachers told him to pull his socks up, or he'd undoubtedly 1 fail his exam.?
老师要他加把劲儿,不然考试准不及格。
2. If you hope to gain promotion 2 you will have to pull your socks up.
如果你想得到提拔,你必须加紧努力。
adv.确实地,无疑地
- It is undoubtedly she who has said that.这话明明是她说的。
- He is undoubtedly the pride of China.毫无疑问他是中国的骄傲。
