1.“by the way”常译为“顺便提一句,顺便问一下”。例如:By the way, have you seen my keys anywhere?(顺便问一下,你有没有在什么地方看到我的钥匙?)
2.“...is there is a way that_?”表示“…有办法(做)…吗?”其中“way”表示“方法.方式”。例如:There are several different ways we can solve this problem.(我们有好几种方法
解决这个问题。)Evening classes are one way of meeting new people.(上夜校是结识人的一种方
法。)There's no way of knowing if the treatment will work. (没办法知道这种治疗方法是不是有效。)
3."The post office rarely loses packages." 一句中,"rarely"意为“很少,极少有地,少见地”。例如:She rarely watches TV.(她很少看电视。)Alan rarely talked about his own work.
(艾伦很少谈论他自己的工作。)需要注意的是,若将“rarely”放在句首以表示强调时,句子需要倒装,例如:Rarely does she eat beef.(她很少吃牛肉。)
