第一、迷你对话
A: What’s wrong with you?

B: I wasn’t admitted by the No.1 middle school, and I chose this No.2 middle school without my parents’ permission. As a result, they are quite despaired. I have a feeling in my bones that my patents don’t like me.
我没有考上一中,又没有经过父母的同意擅自选择了二中,结果他们很失望,我总是感觉我的父母不喜欢我。
第二、对话精讲
【核心短语】to have a feeling in one’s bones
【解词释义】to have a feeling 也就是“有个感觉”的意思。大家不要误认为to have a feeling in one’s bones误解为“骨头酸痛,感到不舒服”,它是指“有一种强烈的感觉,似乎要发生什么事情,但是他又无法解释为什么”。因此,对话中的I have a feeling in my bones that my parents don’t like me.的意思是“我总感觉我的父母不喜欢我。”
