语言详解

A: Here are those tools you wanted to borrow.

这些是你想要借的工具。

B: Thanks a million. I really appreciate it.

千恩万谢。我真的很感激。

【Save it. 你省省吧。】

save是“存，省下”的意思，而Save it.在对话中用做短句，意思是“省省吧。”，告诉对方多说无益。而save it for的句型也很常用，意思是“替……预留”，请看以下的实际例子：

A:I wasn't drinking, officer; I just didn't see the red light.

警官，我没有喝酒；我只是没看到红灯。

B:Save it for the judge.

这些话你留着去跟法官说吧。

A:I love this movie! I want to watch it, too.

我好爱这部电影！我也要去看。

B:OK. I'll save it for tonight when you get home from work.

好。我就把这部电影留到今晚，等你下班回家一起看。

1) blast (n.) 尽兴，玩得愉快

2) appreciate (v.) 感激

3) Keep up the good work. 再接再励
