Feifei: 我在节目中用了一个很棒的表达方式——"give it some welly",它是一个地道的英国英语表达,意思是鼓励人们在做某件事时更加努力,通常指体力活动,比如我刚才费力打开这个罐子。这个表达方式虽然是祈使句,但语气很友好,不会让人觉得粗鲁。 我们来听一些其他的例句,看看这个表达方式在不同语境下的用法。比如,骑自行车上坡时,你可以说"give it some welly";或者在往很硬的墙上钉钉子时,也可以说"give it some welly"。它还可以用来描述某人正在努力,比如,"她昨晚在卡拉OK唱歌时真的很卖力,她真的give it some welly了。" 总而言之,"give it some welly"是一个非常实用的表达方式,可以用来鼓励他人更加努力,也可以用来描述某人正在努力。 Georgie: "Give it some welly" 是一个英国英语表达,用于鼓励人们在活动中投入更多努力或力量,通常是体力活动,例如我刚才费力打开这个罐子。虽然它是祈使句,但语气友好而活泼,所以不用担心会显得粗鲁。 它可以用于很多情境,例如骑自行车上坡——"give it some welly!";或者把钉子钉进坚硬的墙里——"give it some welly!"。我们来听听BBC学习英语同事们提供的一些例子。我前几天去唱卡拉OK,一开始有点害羞,但大家说,来吧,give it some welly,于是我就大声地唱了起来。你得更用力地击球!来吧,give it some welly! 我爸爸在家试图移动沙发,但怎么也移不动。我说,give it some welly。他最后用力一推,沙发就移开了。 它最常见的用法是祈使句,鼓励人们付出努力。不过,你可能也会听到它用来描述某人正在努力。例如,你听贝丝前天晚上在卡拉OK唱歌了吗?是的,她真的give it some welly了,不是吗?我前几天看着我儿子试图把椅子推过房间。他真的give it some welly了。哦,太可爱了。好的,让我们回顾一下。
