Hi, good morning, everyone. I'm Yao. Welcome to today's episode of English Language, Mary Yang Cheng. Mary's one sentence, Express Impress. In today's episode, we're going to learn a part from Modern Family, the 19th English line from the 3rd season. It's a form of dialogue. Let's listen. Mind if I ask you a couple questions about the big election? Not at all. Fire away. Mind if I ask you a couple questions about the big election?
Not at all. Fire away. Mind if I ask you a couple questions about the big election? Not at all. Fire away. Mind if I ask you a couple questions about the big election? Not at all. Fire away.
那么在这样一段英文台当中呢,我们需要注意哪些发音技巧呢? 第一处,mind,fi 这样的三个单词呢,我们放在一起,其中呢会存在两处连读 那我们其实可以读成 mindfi,mindfi 第二处发音技巧,当 ask,you 我们这样的两个单词呢,放在一起 那么此时呢,我们可以做一个类似于连读的处理 那么你可以读成 ask you,ask you
About the, we put these two words together, there will be an incomplete process. Then you can read it as about the, about the big election. We put these two words together, there can be a natural co-reading. Then you can read it as big election, big election, not at all.
这样的三个单词呢我们放在一起可以有自然的两处连读 而且呢两处连读之后还会形成两处美式翻译当中所读有的闪音 所以呢你可以读成 not at all not at all 最后一处翻译技巧我们来一起看一下 当 fire away 这样的两个单词呢我们出现在一起 其实呢你可以连读变成 fire away fire away 来吧,兄弟们
Today is the Dunphys at their best. Hi. Hi. Hey. I'm from the Weekly Save. Reminded if I asked you a couple questions about the big election? Not at all. Fire away. Who are you voting for today? Claire Dunphy. Finally, I've been waiting for someone to say that name. Why? Because I am Claire Dunphy. Oh, I'm sorry.

The whole family's high. There's your headline. How about a photo of all of you? Sure, yes. Yes. Oh, my goodness. Thank you. That would have been a really awkward picture. Okay. Oh!
今天节目当中,那我们来一起学习一下英文里面的 fire away 这样一个短语的用法 在英文当中 fire 有开火的意思
Fire away 也可以立即称为 to begin to shoot a weapon 开始射击 连续射击 不断开火的意思 所以在口语当中 如果有人要一连串问你很多问题 这个时候我们也可以使用这样一个短语 Fire away 相当于 to ask many questions 下面我们来看一下这样的几个例子 第一个 OK, fire away. What do you want to know about my date last night?
好了,尽管问吧。 昨晚我约会的事情你都想知道些什么? OK, fire away. What do you want to know about my date last night? 再来看一下第二个例子,是一个对话的形式。 A 说, I know you want to, so fire away. B 回复说, What did Ed say? How cute did he look? Did he ask about me? A 说,我知道你想问,尽管问吧。 B 回复说, Ed 说了什么?
他看起来有多帅? 他提到我了吗? I know you want to. So fire away. What did I say? How cute did he look? Did he ask about me? 下面呢我们来看一下倒数第二个例子。 The cops fired away at him for an hour. 警方不停地问他问题持续了整整一个小时。 The cops fired away at him for an hour. 下面呢我们来看一下最后这个例子。
When it was time for questions, the reporters began firing away at the mayor. 到了提问环节,记者们开始连珠炮般地向市长发问。 When it was time for questions, the reporters began firing away at the mayor. 那么在本期节目的末尾呢,请给我同学尝试翻译一下句子,并留言在文章的留言区。 The kids are shy when people first come over, but they start to fire away eventually.
And then you can't get them to stop talking. The kids are shy when people first come over, but they start to fire away eventually. And then you can't get them to stop talking. 那么这样一段话你会如何去理解,又打算怎样去做翻译呢? 希望各位同学可以踊跃地发言。 本期节目我们就先分享到这里。 明天节目当中我们再会啦。 See you around!
