难度：两星【句子】Boy, I’d like to put that theory to the test. 【Desperate Housewives S1E12】【发音】[bɔɪ] [aɪd] [laɪk] [tʊ] [pʊt] [ðæt] ['θɪəri] [tʊ] [ðə] [test] 【发音技巧】I’d like to不完全失去爆破+完全失去爆破；put that theory两处不完全失去爆破；【翻译】哎呦，我可真想去验证一下你这句话。【适用场合】先一起来回顾一下上下文的对话：Susan: You can go to the police, kick me, you can burn my house down. You just have to know that I am so racked with guilt. I don’t think it’s possible for me to suffer any more than I am already suffering.你可以去警察局告发我，教训我，你可以烧掉我的房子。但是你需要知道，我一直在内疚中煎熬着，没什么时候比现在这会儿更痛苦了。Edie: Boy, I’d like to put that theory to the test.是吗，我可真想验证一下你这句话。（看你说的到底是不是真的）在Susan的对话中，讲一下什么叫做be racked with/by…一般后面都跟一些痛苦/麻烦相关的词汇；表示“让某个人承受巨大的痛苦”to make sb. suffer great physical or mental painrack作动词经常用被动语态eg: He was racked by/with doubts.他内心充满怀疑。eg: He was racked by/with guilt.他内心充斥着内疚。eg: Her face was racked with pain. 她脸上写满了痛苦。 然后来看下第二个知识点： Edie说的put that theory to the test大家不要按照字面意思直译成：我真想把那个理论去验证一下。因为这里并没有真的什么theory，只是Susan的一种解释，一种说法而已。另外boy是语气词，别翻译成“男孩”闹笑话哦！put sb./sth. to the test 把某物/某个人拿去测验/验证一下to put sb./sth. in a situation which will show what their true qualities areeg: His theories have never really been put to the test.他的理论从来没有被验证过（是否正确）。eg: I'm going to put my car to the test right now, and see how fast it will go.我要去试驾一下我的车，看看最快能开到多少速度。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】The second part of the contest will put your general knowledge to the test.
