【句子】Don’t be dense, Felicia. Don’t you think I know my own neighbor? 【Desperate Housewives S1E20】 【发音】/dəʊnt/ /biː/ /dens/ /fəˈliʃə/ /dəʊnt/ /juː/ /θɪŋk/ /aɪ/ /nəʊ/ /maɪ/ /əʊn/ /ˈneɪ.bə(r)/【发音技巧】Don’t be失去爆破;Don’t you音的同化;think I连读;【翻译】别傻了,Felicia。难道你认为我不了解我的邻居吗?【适用场合】今天我们来学习一个比较口语的词。dense一般使用的时候,作形容词用,可以表示:厚的;浓密的;不透光的;但是其实在口语中,这个形容词dense,可以表示:1. difficult to understand because of complexity or obscurity晦涩难懂的;因为复杂、含糊而难以理解的;a dense novel一篇晦涩难懂的小说2. If you say that someone is dense, you mean that you think they are stupid and that they take a long time to understand simple things.笨的;理解能力慢的;someone who is dense is stupid所以dense在口语中可以当做是stupid的近义词。eg: How can you be so dense?你怎么能如此愚蠢?eg: He’s not a bad man, just a bit dense.他不是一个坏人,只是脑子有点慢而已。eg: He was too dense to get the joke.他脑子转得太慢了,理解不了那个笑话。eg: He’s so dense that I have to tell him everything twice.他脑子太慢了,以至于我跟他说什么都得说两遍才行。【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】咱们公司里面有些人脑子真的很慢。
