【句子】We made our decision. Let’s just stick to it. 【Desperate Housewives S1E19】【发音】/wiː/ /meɪd/ /aʊə(r)/ /dɪˈsɪʒ.ən/ /lets/ /dʒʌst/ /stɪk/ /tʊ/ /ɪt/【发音技巧】made our连读;just stick to不完全失去爆破+完全失去爆破;【翻译】我们已经做了选择,就这么着吧。【适用场合】今天一起来学习一下stick to sth. 的表达,这个我们之前节目中学习过,在这里做一个review。stick 本来作名词,可以理解成棍子,木棒;但是这里是动词的用法;stick to sth. 一般我们有这样的两层含义:1. continue doing sth. in spite of difficulties: 不畏艰难,继续做某事;eg: She finds it impossible to stick to a diet!她觉得坚持节食简直不可能。2. continue doing or using sth. and not want to change it坚持做某事/使用某个东西,而不想要更换成别的;eg: He promised to help us and he stuck to his word (= he did as he had promised). 他曾经承诺过会帮助我们,他也做到了这点。eg: -- Shall we meet on Friday this week?-- No, let's stick to Saturday.我们能不能这周五见啊?不,咱们还是按照原计划,周六见吧。eg: Are you still sticking to your decision to fire him?你还是坚持要开除他吗?eg: We decided to stick to our present supplier.我们决定了还是和目前的供应商合作。【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 So far, he's sticking to the same story he gave police.
