【句子】We are having a slight issue getting Lily on board with the adoption. 【Modern Family S3E2】【发音】/wi:/ /ɑː(r)/ /hævɪŋ/ /eɪ/ /slaɪt/ /ˈɪʃ.uː/ /getɪŋ/ /ˈlɪl.i/ /ɒn/ /ɑːn/ /bɔː(r)d/ /wɪð/ /ðiː/ /əˈdɒp.ʃən/【发音技巧】a重读;slight issue连读+闪音;getting闪音;the重读;【翻译】我们遇到了一点小问题,没能让Lily同意我们再收养一个儿子。【适用场合】今天视频前半部分中提到了低调的英文说法,你可以用low-key来表示低调;eg: The wedding was a low-key affair, with fewer than thirty people attending.这场婚礼是个很低调的场合,只有不到30人参加。eg: He wanted to keep the meetings low-key. 他曾经想把这些会议都搞得低调一些。eg: He received a low-key but respectful welcome.他受到了低调但却充满敬意的欢迎。接下来我们说一下关键句中出现的get sb. on board字面的意思是:让某个人上船/登上甲板;引申义是:to gain one’s support/approval for sth.获得某个人的赞成、支持。英语中也有get sth. on board指的意思是:理解、接受、赞成某个观点或者建议If you take on board an idea or a problem, you begin to accept it or understand it. eg: I told her what I thought, but she didn’t take my advice on board.我跟她分享了我的想法,但是她并不赞同我的看法。eg: To start a new project, I need to get my boss on board.为了启动一个新项目,我得先获得老板的支持。eg: I wanted to move and it took me a while to get my wife on board.我想要搬家,花了好久才获得了我老婆的同意。【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】You may have to accept their point of view, but hope that they will take on board some of what you have said.
