四星【句子】It’s not too big a stretch. 【The Vampire Diaries-S1E6】【发音】[ɪts] [nɒt]/[nɑ:t] [tu:] [bɪg] [ə] [stretʃ]【发音技巧】not too 完全失去爆破；【翻译】也没有扭曲事实太多啦。【适用场合】1. 首先先来学一个简单的。剧中有这样两句对话：-- Are you sure?-- I’m positive. 你确定吗？我确定。这里I’m positive. 就相当于I’m sure.adj. 确信的；肯定的certain and without any doubt:eg: Are you positive that you saw me yesterday?你确定你昨天看到我了？eg: "It was him - I saw him take it." "Are you positive about that?"就是他！我亲眼看到他拿走的！你对此确定吗？eg: I can't be positive about what time it happened.我也说不准这件事情发生的具体时间。2. too…to…的用法大家都知道，太……以至于不能……eg: It's too difficult (for me) to explain.对我来说，太难了，解释不了。但是今天对话中出现的It’s not too big a stretch.他什么意思呢？这里警长和记者都准备掩盖事情的真相。It’s not too big a stretch. 就表示对民众来说：用这样的说辞，大家更容易接受，我们也没有扭曲事实太多呢。本来这帮人就确实是在嗑药。一点点来解释，大家先别着急。首先，too + adj. + a/an + n. 这样的结构，表示sth. is too + adj.eg: It was too expensive a desk for a child's room. /The desk was too expensive for a child’s room.对于儿童房来说，这样一张桌子太贵了。eg: This is too large a helping for me. / This helping is too large for me.这对我来说，真的是帮了超级大的忙！那么stretch什么意思呢？大家都知道本意指的是伸展（四肢）；拉伸今天学一下不一样的意思作为动词：eg: He admitted that he had maybe stretched the truth (= not been completely honest) a little. 他承认，他可能确实有点扭曲了事实。那么作为名词：一样的意思：离谱；过分；超过限度； the fact that something has gone past its usual limitseg: His idea may be a stretch, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.他的想法可能有点儿离谱，但并不是完全没有可能。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】I always have a good stretch when I get up in the morning.
