【句子】-- So you're leaving or what? -- We're not done talking.【Desperate Housewives S02E03】 【发音】/səʊ/ /jə(r)/ /liːvɪŋ/ /ɔː(r)/ /wɒt/ /wɑːt//wɪə(r)/ /nɒt/ /nɑːt/ /dʌn/ /tɔːkɪŋ/ /tɑːkɪŋ/【发音技巧】not done失去爆破;【翻译】-- 所以你是要走还是要干嘛?-- 我们话还没说完。【适用场合】我们今天来学习一下这个口语中很常见、很地道的or what的用法,它像一个小尾巴一样,加在一个句子的末尾,表达对一种不确定性的强调。It is added as a tag to the end of a sentence to emphasize one's uncertainty about something.有的时候也可以用来强调某一种观点、看法。It can be used to emphasize one’s opinion.eg: Are we going or what?我们到底去不去啊?eg: So are you ready to leave or what?你准备好离开了吗到底?A: "The boss said that they needed to make a lot of layoffs."B: "So are you out of a job, or what?"A:“老板说他们需要裁掉很多员工。”B:“所以你是失业了,还是怎么着?”eg: I can't tell if you're just trying to mess with me or what, but this is not funny at all.我判断不出来你是想耍我还是怎么着,但是我告诉你,这可一点儿都不好玩。eg: Wow, do you two make a cute couple or what?哈,你们俩在一起可真养眼啊不是吗?eg: Am I a good brother, or what?我可真是个好哥哥!eg:Bob: Now, is this a fine day or what?John: Looks okay to me.鲍勃:哈,今天天气可真不错呀!约翰:是啊,我也觉得不错。eg: Is this a good movie or what?这电影可真不错呀!eg: Is he stupid or what?他可真蠢!【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】这可真刺激啊不是吗?
