【句子】Do you mind if I...poke around? 【ModernFamilyS3E14】【发音】/duː/ /juː/ /maɪnd/ /ɪf/ /aɪ/ /pəʊk/ /əˈraʊnd/【发音技巧】if I连读;poke around连读; 【翻译】你介意我四处看看,参观一下吗?【适用场合】今天关键句中,我们学习一个短语:poke aroundto investigate, search through, or snoop around something or some place调查、窥探某个地方;搜索某个东西;eg: Please tell me that the cops won't find any incriminating evidence if they start poking around your office.请你告诉我,如果警察开始搜查你的办公室,他们不会找到任何定罪证据。eg: The boss has been poking around this morning. She wants to know how far along we are on the project.老板今早一直在这边晃悠。她想知道我们这个项目进度如何了。eg: I've been poking around in the library looking for some statistics.我一直在那个图书馆里转悠,想找一些数据。eg: I was poking around the attic when I found these old photos.我当时正在阁楼里面翻东西,然后找到了这些旧照片。在英文口语中,poke about也可以当做是poke around的近似表达,可以放在一起积累学习。eg: I don't mind if you look in my drawer for a paper clip, but please don't poke about.如果你在我的抽屉里找一个回形针,我不会介意,但请不要乱翻我的抽屉。【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】The detective was poking about, tracking where she went on that fatal day.
