  迷你对话:

A: Daniel, have you prepared well for your trip to China?

A: 丹尼尔,你为你的中国之旅做好准备了吗?

B: Oh, I have to steal time to learn Chinese. I hope I will have a nice journey.

B: 哦,我不得不挤出时间学汉语。我希望我有个快乐的旅程。

地道表达: steal time

1. 解词释义

动词steal是“偷”的意思,其英文解释是“to take (the property 1 of another) without right or permission”。在这个句子中,steal的意思是“挤(出时间)”的意思,是个很生动的表达,使用的是这个词语的引申义“巧妙地获得”“快速地或偷偷地取得某事物”。特别是真出其不意或运用计策。对话中“I have to steal time to lear Chinese.”的意思是“我不得不挤出时间学汉语。”

2 典型范例

e.g. Time is limited. We have to steal time to finish the task before deadline.

时间紧迫,我们必须挤出时间在最后期限之前完成任务。

Ps:have a nice journey的意思是“旅途愉快”,one’s trip to somewhere的意思是“到某处旅行”,注意trip后面用解词to。

Subject 2: You are asking for the moon.

迷你对话:

A: I hope that the teacher will not leave homework forever.

A:我希望老师永远也不要不知作业。

B: Oh, you are asking for the moon.

B:哦,你简直在异想天开。

地道表达:ask for moon

1. 解词释义

由ask for moon这个短语中的moon一词,我们可以联想到妇孺皆知的中国童话“猴子捞月亮”的故事:一只猴子发现月亮调到了水中,出于好心,它邀请饿了它的同伴一个个首尾相接试图捞出水中的月亮,可想而知,结果是一场空。因此,ask for moon的含义就是“想入非非,异想天开”。这个短语的英文解释为: to make outlandish requests or demands for something, such as a lot of money or special privileges 2.

2. 典型范例

e.g. She's asking for the moon, and she's not going to get it.

她在异想天开了,她不会得到它的。

e.g. Don't ask for the moon. Be reasonable!

现实点,别在异想天开了,理智点。

Ps: leave homework的意思是“留作业,布置作业”。例如:Today our English teacher leaves a lot of homework to us. 今天,英语老师布置很多作业给我们。
