Jessia在北京学中文，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是怡茹要问的：崩溃。 Jessica：Morning 怡茹! Oh..you don't look so well, are you sick? YR: 生病倒没有，就是精神快崩溃了。老板让我做调研，一共需要1000多个样品数据! 我已经做了两个星期，头昏脑胀，可还是没做完! I am going crazy! Jessica: Don't freak out yet. 怡茹，咱们一块想想办法! YR: Wait a second...你说，freak out? Jessica: Freak is spelled f-r-e-a-k, freak; freak out 就是崩溃的意思。 YR: OMG! That's totally me! I'm freaking out! 你说想办法，我已经上网找，问朋友，去图书馆查，都没有现成的数据，完全要自己一点一点搜集! 我觉得我已经走投无路了.... Jessica: Yeah... seems like you are at the end of your rope. This phrase basically means you are out of options. I'm so sorry 怡茹! YR: At the end of my rope? 真形象。绳子到头了，没有别的办法。I'm SO at the end of my rope! Jessica，你说要是我无法按时完成任务，那可怎么办呀! 老板都催我两次了，我现在感觉如履薄冰。 Jessica: Yeah, being on thin ice is definitely not the best feeling in the world. YR: On thin ice 就是中文里说的如履薄冰吧？太形象了。 Jessica: You know what? I'm not worried about you. I think you can definitely finish the assignment on time! YR: 真的吗？好，那我加油，一定按时完成，做得漂漂亮亮的！ Jessica: That's the spirit! YR: 我去了！ Bye Jessica! Jessica: Wait 怡茹！ Before you go, tell me what you've learned today! (责任编辑：admin) |
