接着上期,今天继续学习Joanna为你精选的美剧英语口语 ~
1. I have it on good authority
根据可靠线
If you say you have it on good authority that something is true, you mean that you believe it is true because you trust the person who told you about it.
give the authority for your statement
拿出你那句话的依据
I have it on good authority that there's no way this light can cause skin cancer.
我有来自权威人士的说法,这种光不可能引起皮肤癌。
顺便复习一下“情 ”怎么说 美剧英语 | 怎么地道去说 “耍人,糊弄人”?
2. Not get ahead of ourselves
不要操之过急
get ahead of sb基本意思是“胜过,超过;占先”,这里get ahead of ourselves语境并不是说“超越自我”,而是指”操之过急“,通常多用于否定形式 not get ahead of ourselves 不要操之过急。
Don't get ahead of ourselves and keep calm. 不要操之过急,冷静点
3. He's onto us!
他发现我们了
onto本来是方位的单词”在...之上,向…之上“,这里跟be搭配活用成动词,be onto sb字面意思位于某人之上,就是能够看到某人,所以引申为“发现(某人做坏事);对…觉察;对…知悉”
If someone is onto you, they have discovered that you are doing something illegal or wrong.
He did not want Pollard to become suspicious that he was now onto him.
他不想让波拉德怀疑他已察觉到其不轨行为。
I had told people what he had been doing, so now the police were onto him.
我已将他的所作所为告诉了别人,因此现在警方正在追查他。
4. This is gonna be a gas.
肯定会很有趣!
耳目一新的表达。gas在这里不是“气体,毒气”,而是俚语指 “活泼有趣的事,令人愉快的场面, 有趣的人”
You can describe a situation or event as a gas when it is very lively, amusing, and enjoyable.
It was really a gas to find someone I could talk with.
找到一个能和我谈得来的人真是一件让人高兴的事。
That's sure to be a real gas.
那实在是好玩的事。
5. being wined and dined by the city's elite
被整个城市社会名流所拥戴
wine除了指“酒”,还可活用为动词形式“用葡萄酒招待,用酒宴款待”,而dine本身就是“宴请,设宴款待”,所以be wined and dined 指受到美酒佳肴的款待,也就是“受欢迎,拥戴”意思
Superstars are always wined and dined everywhere.
elite是统称,指(社会)精英,掌权人物,名流,出类拔萃的人物,上层人物,权贵,杰出人物,佼佼者,为不可数名词。
It is a luxury brand established for the elite and the affluent.
