Topics
Feifei: 我认为“flip side”指的是事物的反面或另一面,它可以用来展现事物的两面性。就像一枚硬币的两面,我们可以用它来引出相反的观点,或者在谈论某件事的不利方面时,同时指出它积极的一面。例如,虽然今天下雨,但至少我们待在室内,不用淋雨,而且还很暖和。 在对话中,“flip side”经常被用来安慰抱怨的人。例如,如果有人说工作太多,我们可以说:是的,但是反过来想,我们待会儿可以出去喝酒。 总而言之,“flip side”的意思是引入对比,改变人们对某事的看法,让事情看起来不那么糟糕。 Beth: 我同意Feifei的观点。“flip side”是一种用来引出相反观点的方式。它可以用来平衡负面的描述,并展现事物的积极方面。例如,虽然我最近在家工作很多,我不太喜欢,但我不用挤火车上下班,这至少是一个好处。 此外,在日常生活中,我们也可以用“flip side”来表达虽然做某事有坏处,但也存在好处。例如,我花了整个星期天做一道菜,厨房弄得乱七八糟,我也筋疲力尽,但至少我尝试了一个新菜谱,而且做出了美味的食物。
