嗨各位亲爱的小伙伴们早上好我是姚老师欢迎来到今天这一期的英语口语没日养成今天这期节目当中呢我们将会一起来学习一段来自于摩登家庭第三季第 19 集的一段英文台词那么首先呢起来听一下今天的关键句哦是 i served them up on a silver platter
Oh, sure. I served him up on a silver platter.Oh, 当然,我简直把他双手奉上了。Oh, sure. I served him up on a silver platter.Oh, sure. I served him up on a silver platter.
那么在这样一段英文台词当中呢我们需要注意哪些发音技巧呢第一处当 served him 我们这样的两个单词呢放在一起它呢其实会存在一个击穿的现象那么这个时候呢你会感觉字母 h 好像是没有发音一样那我们可以读成 served himserved him 而当 him 和 up 我们出现在一起的话呢可以有一个自然的连读那么你可以读成 him uphim upon a
这两个单词我们放在一起可以有一个自然的连读那么你可以读成 Honor 而最后一处发音技巧我们说 Platter 这个单词 P-L-A-T-T-E-R 这个单词在美式发音当中两个字母 T 会存在一个非常典型的闪音的处理 Flappy 所以这个单词我们在美式发音当中应该读成 PlatterPlatter
我看你等了 45 分钟就来吃雪葵我喜欢吃雪葵, 好吗那里有西方最棒的雪葵他们有莱姆雪葵, 椰子雪葵我们在说什么雪葵他明明在改变主题你怎么还没上学他又开始了
那么今天节目当中呢我们来学习这样一个短语的用法叫做 serve something or somebody up on a silver platter
那么在口语当中呢我们也可以说 give something to someone on a silver platter 或者呢 hand something to someone on a silver platter 都可以指把某个东西或者呢某个人轻易奉上拱手让人 to give something to somebodywithout expecting them to do or give anything in return 那么此时呢这个短语当中的 on a silver platter 字面的意思呢可以理解成为在一个银盘子上
那么此时呢这个部分可以理解成为 delivered or given to onewithout having put forth much or any effort 毫不费力的轻松的或者说呢轻易的那么下面呢我们来看一下这样的几个例子第一个 if you sell your share in the company nowyou are handing the ownership to him on a silver platter 如果你现在出售你在公司的股权就等于把所有权拱手让给他
If you sell your share in the company now,you are handing the ownership to him on a silver platter 下面我们来看一下第二个例子 Of course the CEO's daughter got the job without having to interview.She gets everything on a silver platter.当然了 CEO 的女儿连面试都不用就直接拿到工作她干什么都是躺赢 Of course the CEO's daughter got the job without having to interview.She gets everything on a silver platter.
再比如说,我们来看一下倒数第二个例子。
那么下面呢我们来看一下最后这个例句 I don't like her at allShe expects to be handed everything on a silver platteras if she's better than other people 我反透她了她指望所有东西别人都能双手奉上好像她高人一等似的 I don't like her at allShe expects to be handed everything on a silver platteras if she's better than other people
