Betty: I actually fell into traffic.
【解词释义】fall into是一个固定短语,意思是“陷入,掉进,落入”。例如:
One slip on this mountain and you will fall into the abyss. 在这座山上一失足便会跌入万丈深渊。
Don't fall into bad habits. 不要养成坏习惯。
台词中的fall into traffic直接翻译是“陷入交通”,在本句台词中是指:撞上交通事故。
Betty: I was ten blocks away from st.Vincent's, so I just kept going,and fortunately, it was a long wait,so I could write my piece.
【口语句型】Sb is +表示距离的短语+away from somewhere. 这个句型表示:某人距离某处还有多远。此句型中的away from的意思是“远离,相距”。例如:
My home is half a kilometer away from here. 我家离这儿有半公里。
【文法解析】keep作为“坚持”“使不停止”的意思时,是及物动词,后面接动词的话,要使用动名词形式,即为:keep doing something。台词中说到的是keep going,意思是“继续前行”。再如:
It is a bad habit that a child keep staying in front of a computer all day long. 一个小孩成天面对电脑是不好的习惯。
【口语短句】It is a long wait。这个短句的意思是:等了很久。在这个短语句中,wait作为名词用,意思仍然是“等待”。
Betty: I e-mailed you 200 words from the hospital.
【口语句型】Somebody e-mails sb +基数词+words.这个句型表示:某人给他人发送了多少字的邮件。例如:
I e-mailed you 1000 words to tell you I have been in America. 我给您发了一封1000字的邮件,告诉您我已经低到美国。
Supposed to make your skin feel as soft as a baby's ass in two days.
【习语讲解】supposed to do是一个习惯用语,意思是“应该”。例如:
Journalists are supposed to be politically neutral. 新闻工作者在政治上应持中立态度。
【文法讲解】 make your skin feel as soft as a baby's ass这个结构中干是make your skin feel,make是使役动词,your skin是宾语,feel时候动词原形做宾语的补足语。
As soft as a baby’s ass是做feel的表语,中的第一个as是副词,第二个as是介词,as和as之间可以放形容词soft。As......as的意思是“和......一样”。
