时间:2018-12-26 作者:英语课 分类:英语笑话(MP3+文本)
An elementary school teacher asked a student why he was late.
He replied, "A nearby sign said 'School ahead, slow 1 down,go slow,' so that's what I did."
1. An elementary school teacher asked a student why he was late.
一个小学老师问一个学生为什么迟到。
表示“做什么事迟到”,可以直接在late的后面加动名词,如:I was very late getting home yesterday.我咋天很晚回家。也可以加上for,再加名词,如He was late for meeting. 他开会迟到了。
elementary [ˌelɪˈmentri] adj.初等的 elementary school 小学
2. He replied, "A nearby sign said 'School ahead, slow down,go slow,' so that's what I did."
他回答说:“附近有一个标志写着:‘前有学校,减速,慢行。’所以我就照做了。”
句中第一个slow是动同,表示“减速”,他后面的down是副阂,表示“减弱”;第二个slow是副词,表示“缓慢地”, slow放在动作动词后面当副同,是口语用法。
在美国.当你看到黄色菱形标志上面写着SCHOOL CROSSING,或是黄色长方形标志.上面有一个奔跑的孩子,上方写着SLOW.表示你将进人学校区。在美国的学校区内违规,驾驶执照可能会被吊销。
sign [saɪn] n.标志
