妙詞佳句, 活學活用
1. get over somebody: 當好朋友遇到失戀的痛苦時,要怎么樣去安慰他呢? 這就是一個很好的表達。趕緊忘了那個人吧!當遇到痛苦、挫折和不如意時,我們也可以用以下幾個類似的表達來鼓勵自己,比如get over it(渡過難關), hang in there(堅持住),I'll survive(我會活下去)等等。
2. be mad at you: 生某人氣,對某人發脾氣,mad at這里就相當于angry with.比如,"我真的很生Bruce的氣"就可以說 "I'm pretty mad at Bruce." "我生自己的氣"就可以說 "I'm mad at myself."
4. be supposed to: 這個片語是美國人經常用的。如果我們想問別人未來的某一個時間會不會發生某件事或出現某種情況,例如"星期五會下雨嗎?" 這時我們就可以說 "Is it supposed to rain on Friday?" 也可以表示某人應該或者不應該做某件事,比如,中午12點以前要退房,這是酒店的規定,就可以對同伴說 " We're supposed to check out of the hotel by 12 o'clock."
First Thanksgiving in America
The Pilgrims, shown here celebrating their first Thanksgiving, were a group of Puritans(清教徒)who landed at Plymouth Rock(普利茅斯:位于美國馬薩諸塞州東南,這批清教徒被認為是在普利茅斯海岸巨礫登陸), in what is now Massachusetts, United States, in 1620. In 1621 Governor William Bradford of New England proclaimed a day of "thanksgiving" and prayer to celebrate the Pilgrims' first harvest in America. United States president Abraham Lincoln, following the precedent of a number of states, designated a national Thanksgiving Day in 1863. Now Thanksgiving Day falls annually on the fourth Thursday of November. Today Thanksgiving is mainly a celebration of domestic life, centered on the home and family. Most people celebrate Thanksgiving by gathering with family or friends for a holiday feast.
Super Bowl
感恩節除了要吃大餐,看橄欖球比賽也是必不可少的哦。大家不要嘲笑Geller一家迂腐,Ross和Monica兩兄妹比賽還要起個名字叫the "Geller Bowl"。不過美式橄欖球界NFL(National Football League)的確有一盛會,我們通常叫做"超級碗(Super Bowl)",中間插播的廣告要比比賽本身還吸引人呢!
