【句子】I mean, how in the world could anybody accuse me of murder? 【Desperate Housewives S2E5】
【发音技巧】could anybody连读;me of连读;
【翻译】我想说,我怎么就被人怀疑成谋杀犯了?
在英文中,in the world 字面的意思是“在世界上”;
当这个意思使用,其实没什么特别的。
但是在口语中,in the world 可以用来表达一种强调语气,有些句子里可以理解成“到底”;
It is used to emphasize what you are saying.
eg: How in the world am I supposed to read this entire book in one week?
我要怎么才能在一周之内读完这一本书啊?
大家可以思考一下,其实这句话里不要in the world,也是完全成立的。
eg: What in the world were you thinking, driving across the state in the middle of the night?
你到底是怎么想的?大半夜开车横穿整个州?
eg: Don’t rush — we’ve got all the time in the world.
别急急忙忙的,我们时间还多得很。
eg: How in the world did they manage?
他们之前到底是怎么管理的?
eg: I never in the world would have guessed.
我可是无论如何都猜不到。
eg: How in the world did they make a mistake like that?
他们怎么会犯一个那样的错?
