【句子】And even she was amazed at how far she was willing to go to get it. 【Desperate Housewives S01E22】 【发音】/ənd/ /ˈiː.vən/ /ʃiː/ /wəz/ /əˈmeɪzd/ /æt/ /haʊ/ /fɑː(r)/ /ʃi:/ /wəz/ /ˈwɪlɪŋ/ /tə/ /ɡəʊ/ /tə/ /ɡet/ /ɪt/ 【发音技巧】And even连读；amazed at how连读+不完全爆破；get it连读+闪音；【翻译】然而即使是她自己，都惊讶于自己能够做出那么极端的事来获得自我满足。（就是Cyrus她也看得上）【适用场合】今天我们一起来看看 go far以及跟它相关的短语：1. go so far as to do something或者go as far as to do somethingto do or say something extreme做一些极端的事情；说一些极端的话；（这也是本期视频中出现的意思）eg: They went so far as to try to arrest us.他们竟然企图逮捕我们。eg: I wouldn’t go so far as to say that we agreed on the subject.我才不会做得那么过，说我们在这问题上意见是一致的。（因为我们原本就不一致）eg: Although I wouldn't go so far as to call him a coward, he definitely likes to avoid confrontation when he can.虽然我不会那么过分，叫他懦夫，但他绝对是尽可能地避免冲突。eg: I don’t like people smoking but I wouldn’t go so far as to forbid it.我不喜欢别人抽烟，但我也不会做得那么过，上前去阻止他们。2. go far其实go far在口语中单独使用，经常可以表示：“取得很大成功”；其实就是从字面意思“走得远”引申来的；to achieve much success.eg: You'll go far if you don’t quit.如果你不放弃，你会取得很大成就的。eg: He was the best student in his year, and everyone was sure he would go far.他是他那一年当中最优秀的学生，每个人都确信他将大有作为。 eg: Linda is an excellent manager. She would go far.Linda是一位极其出色的经理，她一定会飞黄腾达的。Linda是一位极其出色的经理，她一定会成功的。3. go too far在今天节目的末尾再来补充一个相关短语，在口语中，如果你听到别人说go too far，其实谁什么意思呢？有点像我们之前讲过的cross the boundary/line，“过分了，越界了”。to do something to a drastic, inappropriate, or excessive degree以很极端、不恰当或者过度的方式做某事eg:My brother teases me all the time, but he went too far when he started mocking my girlfriend.我哥哥总是取笑我，这就算了，但是当他开始嘲笑我的女朋友时，就做得真的太过分了。eg: Some people thought he had gone too far in his criticism.有些人觉得他的批评说得太过火了。eg: He’s always been quite rude, but this time he’s gone too far.他一向很粗鲁，但这次他真的做得太过分了。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】They went so far as to threaten us with legal action if we didn't delete the video in question.
