3.FedEx(the Federal Express):联邦快递
精选对白:
Stefan:I gave it to Zach to hide.Probablyshouldn't have killed him.
Damon:Ah,you almost got me. Where is it?
Stefan:I'llget it back,but I need time.
Damon:What,did youFedExit to Rome? Where is it? I want my ring,Stefan,or my next stop's Elena's.
脱掉字幕:1.You almost got me.你差点骗到我了。
朋友与你开玩笑,故意逗你玩,差点骗到你的时候,你就可以说You almost got me. Almost强调还未被骗到,我们也可以直接用You got me.来表示别人把你骗倒了。You got me.还能表示“你难倒我了”。相当于我们常说的Beats me. Get在这里的意思是“把......难住”,如自己被一个问题难住了就可以说This problem gets me.
2.Did you FedEx it to Rome?你是把它用快递到罗马去了吗?
我们要快递东西一般用的是EMS,它的全名是Express Mail Service(邮政特快专递),而在美国,通常使用的是联邦快递(FedEx),也就是the Federal Express的缩写。
美语中把一件东西快递到某地可以直接用fedex sth. to...,当用EMS快递的时候我们就可以说send sth. by EMS.在商务口语中我们经常听到这样一句话:We will send you the sample by EMS as soon as possible.我们会尽快将样品快递给你们。
