【句子】Well, I mean, do you think you can ever have both? You know? Someone who’s like, who’s like your best friend, but then also can make your toes curl. 【Friends-S1E19】【发音】[wel] [aɪ] [mi:n] [du:] [ju:] [θɪŋk] [ju:] [kæn] [ˈev.ə(r)] [hæv] [bəʊθ] [ju:] [nəʊ] [ˈsʌm.wʌn] [hu:z] [laɪk] [hu:z] [laɪk] [jɔ:(r)] [best] [frend] [bʌt] [ðen] ['ɔ:lsəʊ] [kæn] [meɪk] [jɔ:(r)] [təʊz] [kɜ:(r)l] 【发音技巧】best friend不完全失去爆破;but then不完全失去爆破;【翻译】我意思是,你觉得,一个人能两者同时拥有么?能找到一个既能当知己,还能让自己充满激情的另一半?【适用场合】今天我们重点学习的是make sb.’s toes curl 这个短语让某个人的脚指头都卷曲起来了这个短语到底什么意思呢?英式英语中,一般比较常见的意思是:让某个人感觉到非常尴尬,对某事感到不舒服;to make sb. feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about sth.其实也可以用来指恶心/愤怒这样的负面情绪eg: The thought of having to give her presentation in front of an audience made her toes curl.一想到要在观众面前做展示,她就觉得紧张不已。eg: I don't know why, but the sound of another person chewing makes my toes curl. 我也不知道咋回事,听到另外一个人咀嚼食物的声音,让我浑身汗毛都竖起来了。toe-curlingadj. 表示让你感觉到极度尴尬的;为某个人而感到羞愧的;making you feel extremely embarrassed and ashamed for someone else:eg: I saw the worst comedy act I've ever seen last night - it was absolutely toe-curling!我昨晚见识到了我见过的最差的戏剧演技,简直让我,说不出话来。(简直让我,替他们感到耻辱) 但今天明显都不是这种尴尬的意思,那是什么意思呢?make sb.’s toes curl 也可以指to cause one an acute feeling of joy or pleasure. 让人超级开心,兴奋不已(通常指恋爱中的情绪)这种用法在美式英语中更常见eg: When he leaned in to kiss me at the end of the date, it made my toes curl.那天约会快结束时,他俯身吻了我,当时我心里小鹿乱撞。【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】After yesterday’s embarrassing incident, she really didn’t want to go to work. Just thinking about it was enough to make her toes curl.
