【句子】-- I’m thinking of taking a run at her.-- You don’t “take a run” at a woman. You woo her. You make her feel special. 【Modern Family S2E19】【发音】/aɪm/ /ˈθɪŋ.kɪŋ/ /əv/ /'teɪkɪŋ/ /ə/ /rʌn/ /æt/ /hɜː(r)/ /juː/ /dəʊnt/ /teɪk/ /ə/ /rʌn/ /æt/ /ə/ /ˈwʊm.ən/ /juː/ /wuː/ /hɜː(r)/ /juː/ /meɪk/ /hɜː(r)/ /fiːl/ /ˈspeʃ.əl/ 【发音技巧】thinking of连读；taking a连读；at her击穿+闪音；don’t take a失去爆破+连读；at a连读+闪音；make her击穿；【翻译】-- 我正在考虑追赶她。-- 你不“追赶”女性，你取悦、追求她。你让她感觉到她是特别的。【适用场合】在这里我们来学习一下什么叫做take a run at sb./sth.其实这个短语的用法有点像go after；我们来看看常见都有哪些意思。第一层意思：朝着某个人跑去，追赶某人；通常抱着要去攻击对方的目的；assault someone; approach or run toward someone with the aim of harming themeg: The next thing I knew I'd been knocked down in the street and all my belongings were gone.后来等我反应过来的时候，我才发现我之前已经被击倒在地，身上的财物都没了。eg: I was passing by these two guys in the street when, all of a sudden, one of them took a run at me!我当时正在街上经过这两人身边，突然，其中一个人开始追赶我。第二层意思：尽最大努力想去做成什么事儿；尝试解决什么问题；put forward an earnest or sincere effort toward doing, accomplishing, or attaining something或者attempt to do or solve sth.eg: The senator announced yesterday that she will be taking a run at the presidency next year.这位参议员昨天宣布她将会参加明年的总统选举。这位参议员昨天宣布她明年将会努力参与到总统一职的角逐中。eg: -- I can't solve this math problem.-- Let me take a run at it.-- 这道数学题我解不了。-- 让我来试试。所以其实今天视频当中，Manny这个想法不太对。他本来用take a run at her 其实就相当于aggressively go after her；或者chase after the girl too hard；穷追不舍这个女孩。所以他妈妈谆谆教诲，开导他。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】Our town is going to take a run at the Guinness World Record for the most people standing in formation to spell out a word.
