【句子】Well, yeah...he hasn't really been showing his face in the daylight, has he? Or would you rather we just let Caleb on the loose?  【Desperate Housewives S2E8】

【发音】/wel/ /jeə/ /hi:/ /ˈhæz.ənt/ /ˈrɪə.li/ /ˈriː.əli/ /biːn/ /ˈʃəʊ.ɪŋ/ /hɪz/ /feɪs/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈdeɪ.laɪt/ /hæz/ /hi:/ /ɔː(r)/ /wʊd/ /ju:/ /ˈrɑː.ðə/ /ˈræð.ər/ /wi:/ /dʒʌst/ /let/ /ˈkeɪləb/ /ɒn/ /ɑːn/ /ðə/ /luːs/

【发音技巧】hasn't really不完全爆破;would you音的同化;just let Caleb不完全爆破+失去爆破;

【翻译】咳,是啊……他从没在白天露过脸,不是吗?还是说,你宁愿让卡莱布一直在逃?

【适用场合】

今天我们来学习一下这个表达,on the loose,在英文中loose可以理解成:“松的、松散的;不牢固的”;

但是短语on the loose的意思是:at large; free;“(危险分子)在逃;不受控制;未受管控”;

If a dangerous person or animal is on the loose, that person or animal is free to move around a place and harm people.

 

eg: He escaped from prison last year and has been on the loose ever since.

他自去年越狱后一直在逃。

 

eg: Three prisoners are still on the loose.

三名囚犯仍然在逃。

 

eg: There are reports of a large bear on the loose in the lower mountain town.

有报道称,一只大熊在的山脚下的小镇里四处游荡。

 

eg: Look out! There is a bear on the loose from the zoo.

小心!有一只熊从动物园跑出来了,还没有被抓住。

 

eg: Most kids enjoy being on the loose when they go to college.

大多数孩子上大学的时候,都享受无人约束、自由自在的感觉。

 

eg: That dog of theirs is on the loose all the time.

他们家的狗总是到处乱跑。
