各位亲爱的朋友们,欢迎来到早间课堂《抛招接招》小节目,我是Juliet。
 
我的小学语文老师说的一句话给我留下了很深的印象,她说:“笑要笑到最后。”那时候,我们小学升初中是要考试的,就和中考、高考一样紧张。在总复习阶段,我们每次模拟考完以后,语文老师就会对考得好的同学说这句话,意思就是告诉我们这一次考得好,不算什么,不要笑,不要骄傲,要到最关键的时候考得好,那才是胜利,那时候的笑才是最美丽的。今天,我们就来谈如何说“笑到最后”。
 
我们先来听下面的这段范文:
 
When I started work on my invention everyone said I was mad, but I've had the last laugh now, haven't I? It's bought me both fame and money.
 
接招:在我们刚才听到的范文中,用到了一个词语跟我们中文中说的“笑到最后”字眼相同,它是:last laugh,last,最后的,laugh,笑,最后的笑。它是一条名词性习惯用语,通常和动词have 或者是get搭配做谓语,意思就是取得最后的胜利,即我们中文的所说的“笑到最后”。Last laugh是名词性短语,我们把2个单词调换一下就是一条动词性习语,laugh last,意思和last laugh是一模一样的。
 
下面我们在通过2个例句来熟悉这个短语的意思和运用这个短语。
 
例句-1:We went the long way round and they took a short cut, but we had the last laugh because they got lose!
 
我们兜了远路,他们却走了捷径,但最终还是我们赢了,因为他们迷了路!
 
注解1:go the long way round:兜远路
 
Eg .He feared that if he went past the main apartment something might happen to hold him up, while he dreaded 1 still more the thought of meeting his father. So he decided 2 to go the long way round.
 
若从上房后角门过去,又恐遇见别事缠绕,再或可巧遇见他父亲,更为不妥,宁可绕远路罢了。
 
注解2:take a short cut:走捷径,操捷径
 
Eg .I take a short cut across the field to get to school.
 
我穿过田野抄近路去上学。
 
Eg .I can't take a short cut to finish this project.
 
我不能走快捷方式去完成目标。
 
Eg .She tired to take a short cut to learn ballet 3.
 
她想走捷径学芭蕾舞。
 
例句-2:Other schools laughed at us when our little team entered the state championship, but we got the last laugh when we won it.
 
当我们这不起眼的队伍进入州锦标赛时,其他校队都笑我们,但是我们赢得了最后胜利。
 
注解:laugh at:嘲笑
 
好,我们现在知道了last laugh的意思,也运用last laugh,最后我们回到范文中来看看范文的意思:
 
When I started work on my invention everyone said I was mad, but I've had the last laugh now, haven't I? It's bought me both fame and money.
 
这段话的意思是:我刚开始搞发明的时候,大家都笑我疯了。可是笑在最后的是我,不是吗?这项发明使我名利双收。
 
注解:both fame and money:名利双收
 
Eg .The novel earned him fame and money.
 
这部小说使他名利双收。
 
Eg .They are zealous 4 in the pursuit 5 of fame and money.
 
他们热中于追求名利。
 
注解2:work on:从事
 
Work on既可以是动词性短语,也可以是名词性短语。
 
亲爱的朋友们,我们今天的这招说“笑”—— last laugh,笑在最后,亦即:获得最后的胜利。那么通过今天这个短语的学习,您受到了什么启迪吗?
 
我受到的启迪很大:正如范文中所举的例子,别人笑他搞发明走不去,但是他坚持自己的想法,坚持不懈地,执着地去做自己喜欢做的事情就成功了,名利双收。在我们的工作、学习和生活中,不管我们遭到如何的非难,不管我们有多么的艰辛,我们觉得只要做的是正经不违法的,就坚持自己的想法,走自己的路,不要因为别人的几句话就放弃,要不你永远也不会get the last laugh,永远也不会have the last laugh。
