【句子】Oh, what, so that’s it? You’re the parent with the final say? 【Modern Family-S2E7】 【发音】[əʊ] [wɒt]/[wɑ:t] [əʊ] [ðæts] [ɪt] [jɔ:(r)] [ðə] ['perənt] [wɪð] [ðə] ['faɪnl] [seɪ] 【发音技巧】that’s it连读。【翻译】哦,这事儿就这么定了?你是做决定的那个家长呗?/我说话不算数呗?【适用场合】今天节目的内容,主要围绕着the final say展开其实跟着我一起,学习过新概念第一册的同学,对这个表达不应该陌生。新一课本L89 For sale最后一句话是:Women always have the last word.这里结合上下文,就是说家里的事儿啊女人们总是说了算。当时上课我就补充过这个表达。have the final say 这个意思和have the last word一样。If someone has the last word or the final word in a discussion, argument, or disagreement, they are the one who wins it or who makes the final decision.当碰到讨论、争论、意见不合的时候,如果你说sb. has the last word或者sb. has the final word/say,指这个人最终赢得争论,或者ta最终拍板决定。eg: She always has to have the last word.这个女生争论的时候总是要赢。/这个女生总是特别喜欢拿主意。eg: You're not going, Helen, and that's my last word on the matter.你不许去,Helen,这话我撂这儿了/这事儿没得商量。eg: The judge has the final say on the sentence.在如何判决上,法官有最终决定权。eg: The finance committee has the last word on what we spend.我们花多少钱这事儿,财务委员会说了算。口语中偶尔the last word + in 行业还可以用来表示某个行业当中最新潮,最流行的款式、物品eg: a food processor that is the last word in kitchen equipment食品加工机:厨房设备中的新面孔【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】As the editor in chief, I have the final say on the layout design for every issue.
