【句子】Because you…you seem a little unhinged. 【Modern Family S3E3】【发音】/bɪˈkɑːz//juː//juː//siːm//ə//ˈlɪt.l//ʌnˈhɪndʒd/【发音技巧】seem a连读;little闪音;【翻译】因为吧,你看起来有点不太正常。【适用场合】大家知道hinge这个单词是什么意思吗?可以表示铰链;an object, usually made of metal, that fastens a door to a wall, or a lid to a container, and allows it to open and shut那么对应的,unhinge加上了否定前缀,这个unhinge的意思是:“取下……的铰链;使移走;使动摇”的意思;那如果用unhinged这个形容词去描述一个人,可能是什么意思呢?是一种比较诙谐的方式,描述某一个人“精神错乱的;脱线的;思维不正常的”mentally ill或者If you describe someone's behaviour or performance as unhinged, you are critical of it because it seems wild and uncontrollable.eg: I sometimes think that your mother is a little unhinged.我有的时候觉得您母亲精神有点错乱。eg: He was unhinged by his wife's death.他妻子去世使他精神错乱。eg: Just tell him I’m a little unhinged now.就告诉他说我现在有些脱线。【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】自从他被开除以后,精神就有点错乱。
