【摩登家庭】“对不起,我这是初犯。”英语怎么说?
from 英语老师瑶瑶 · host 英语老师瑶瑶
【句子】I am a first-time offender. Oh, great. Now I’m tardy. Strike two. 【Modern Family S3E2】 【发音】/aɪ/ /æm/ /ə/ /ˈfɜː(r)st.taɪm/ /əˈfen.də(r)/ /əʊ/ /greɪt/ /naʊ/ /aɪm/ /ˈtɑː(r).di/ /straɪk/ /tuː/【发音技巧】am a连读;first-time offender失去爆破+连读;strike two失去爆破;【翻译】我是初犯。喔,现在好了,我又迟到了,罪加一等。【适用场合】1. 首先先快速讲一下这里出现的first-time offender,英语中first-time就指的是:“第一次的,首次的,初次的”这样的意思;first-time buyer第一次购买的顾客;first-time user第一次使用的用户;而动词offend有违规;触犯法律法规;冒犯;这样的意思;所以offender很好理解:可以理解成:一个犯规、违反规定的人;one that offends, especially one that breaks a public law所以first-time offender理解成初犯,还是很ok的。2. 接下来,我们简单说一下什么叫tardy。其实就等同于late。但是tardy更正式。一起来看看英文解释:slow or late in happening or arriving发生得晚或者到得晚;eg: He is tardy in paying his bills.他总是在支付账单的时候拖延。eg: I was tardy for school today. = I was late for school today.我今天上学迟到了。eg: The agency was heavily criticized for its tardy response to the hurricane.由于面对飓风响应迟钝,这家机构饱受批评。eg: The dinner was somewhat delayed on account of David's rather tardy arrival.由于David来得蛮晚的,这顿晚餐因此就有些推迟了。最后,讲一下什么叫做strike two。这个其实跟棒球的规则有关,大家听说过“三振出局”吗?在英语里叫strikeout击球的那个家伙(击球手)一共三次机会,第一次strike one第二次strike two如果再来一次strike three他就出局了。OUT。那今天视频中Manny首先拿了同学东西,已经有错在先,这就是strike one,接下来,他又迟到了,所以说strike two。【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】I was as tardy as ever for the afternoon appointments.
