After lunch? 【Desperate Housewives S2E6】【发音】/dʒʌst/ /ˈwʌn.dərɪŋ/ /ɪf/ /ðeə(r)z/ /ə/ /ˈbɔːl.pɑːk/ /ˈbɑːl.pɑː(r)k/ /əv/ /haʊ/ /lɒŋ/ /lɑːŋ/ /aɪ/ /wɪl/ /hæv/ /tʊ/ /weɪt/ /ə/ /wi:k/ /ə/ /mʌnθ/ /ˈɑːf.tə/ /ˈæf.tər/ /lʌntʃ/【发音技巧】Just wondering类似不完全爆破；there's a连读；ballpark of连读；【翻译】有没有一个大致的时间范围，我大概需要等多久？一周？一个月？还是午饭后？【适用场合】今天我们来学习一下英文中ballpark的用法。它原本的意思是：“棒球场”，但我们今天这里用的是它另外的意思：先来看看它今天的用法所对应的英文解释：an acceptable range in the amount or number of something when you do not know or cannot agree on an exact amount or number“当你们不知道或者就某一个确切的数字无法达成一致的时候，关于某个数值的一个可接受范围”；或者可以直接理解成“粗略估计的数字范围”；eg: I'd sell the house for $500,000, but his offer isn't even in the ballpark.我打算把这房子卖50万美元，但是他报的价差太远了，都不在考虑范围内。eg: A ballpark figure of $3,000 would be realistic.3千美元左右的数字应该会实际点。eg: If you said five million you'd be in the ballpark. 如果你说五百万的话，那你差不多接近了。eg: Eighteen thousand? That could be in the ballpark.一万八千？那差不多。eg: My first guess wasn't even in the ballpark.我第一次猜的数字甚至都不在大概范围内。eg: I can't give you anything more than just sort of a ballpark figure. 我只能给你一个大概的数字。eg: That's just a ballpark figure—they don't know exactly how many people will be attending the event.那只是一个大概的数字，他们不知道来参加这个活动的准确人数/他们不知道到底会有多少人来参加这个活动。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 Do you have a ballpark figure for the cost of the renovations?
