【句子】Is Claire right? Are we in a rut? 【Modern Family S03E06】 【发音】/ɪz/ /kleə(r)/ / /raɪt/ /ɑː(r)/ /wiː/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /rʌt/【发音技巧】in a连读；【翻译】Claire说的对吗？我们现在很墨守成规吗？【适用场合】今天我们来学习一个非常简单短语：in a rut ,一起来看一看。rut 这个单词我们音标课学过，指的是“凹痕、痕迹，车辙”，在英文中in a rut这个短语是“在一个凹痕里”的意思吗？其实这是一个很形象的短语，想象一下，你反复走同一条路，做同一件事情，那么会留下一个固定的痕迹，来来回回都在这个痕迹里，就好像一直做同样的、一成不变的事情。所以：in a rut可以指：（生活或工作）刻板乏味的，一成不变的、千篇一律的；墨守成规的；living or working in a situation that never changes, so that you feel bored或者If a person, organization, etc. is in a rut, they have become too fixed in one particular type of job, activity, method, etc.在口语中，你也可以说be stuck in a rut，可以和be in a rut互换，是一样的意思；eg: I've got to change jobs. After 15 years here I feel I'm (stuck) in a rut (= I'm bored).我得换工作了。在这工作了十五年以后，我觉得我的工作一成不变，我感到厌倦了。eg: I was stuck in a rut and decided to look for a new job.我的工作一成不变，所以我决定找一份新工作。eg: I had so many ambitions when I first graduated from college, but now I feel like I’m in a rut.当我刚大学毕业时，我雄心勃勃，志气满满，但现在我的生活如一潭死水，毫无乐趣可言。eg: We’re stuck in a rut! Let’s move abroad for the summer and shake things up!我们现在的生活过于刻板乏味了！这个夏天我们到国外去，改变一下生活吧！eg: David felt like he was stuck in a rut, so he went back to school.David觉得生活一成不变很无趣，所以他又重返学校了。eg: Anne was tired of being in a rut, so she moved to Los Angeles.Anne已经厌倦了这种一成不变的生活，所以她搬到了洛杉矶生活。eg: After ten years at the same job she says she's in a rut.十年都做的是同一份工作，她说她真的觉得很无趣、很没劲。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】If you don't go out and meet new people, it's easy to get into a rut.
