在我們學(xué)校進(jìn)行英語培訓(xùn)的Tim今天問果果老師“give or take”是什么意思。give or take的意思是相差,表示某個(gè)數(shù)值有點(diǎn)小誤差,但這誤差是在允許范圍之內(nèi),常用于一個(gè)數(shù)字或數(shù)量之前或之后。
例句:
In the end the cost was 1500 dollars, give or take a dollar or two.
最后,這些費(fèi)用是1500美元,至少相差一兩美元。
Whichever route we take ,the distance will be the same , give or take a few kilometres.
無論我們走哪條路,路程都一樣,頂多相差幾公里。
情景模擬:
You need very accurate equipment to measure the time in athletics.
The times of the runners in a short-distance race can be almost the same , give or take a few fractions of a second .
But those few fractions of a second make the difference between winning and losing…
between taking home the gold ,the silver or the bronze medal.
講完了“give or take”,下面我們來講講“for good”的意思,for good可以翻譯為永久,永遠(yuǎn)。
例句:
After ten years in Britain ,She's going home to Australia for good.
在英國(guó)住了十年之后,她準(zhǔn)備回家鄉(xiāng)澳大利亞定居。
The restaurant has closed again ,and this time it's for good.
這家餐館又一次關(guān)門,這一次是徹底關(guān)門了。
情景模擬:
Alice desperately wanted to play the part of Dorothy in the school's production of The Wizard of Oz .She practised and practised for the audition.
At the audition everyone said she sang and danced beautifully .
But the teacher in charge of the production gave the part of Dorothy to another girl. She said that Alice could be a Munchkin.
Alice doesn't want to be a Munchkin. She is so upset that she has decided to give up acting for good.
