妙语佳句,活学活用
1. Be allergic to
Allergic 的意思就是“过敏性的,有过敏特征的,由过敏引起的”,要说“对……过敏”用 be allergic to 即可,例如:My son is highly allergic to penicillin (青霉素).
另外,allergic 在中还可以表示“对……反感,厌恶”,例如:I’m allergic to the job and I really ant to quit.
2. Genovian attaché corps
Attaché 是个法语词,意思是“(外交使团)的专员”,看来法语在Genovia还是上流语言。
3. Where am I
这句话在这里的意思是“我说道哪儿啦?”通常在被人打断后,想不起来自己刚才说到哪里了,都会说这句话。
4. In a moment
意思是“一会儿,不久;立即,马上”,例如:I'll be back in a moment. (我马上回来。)
