各位聽眾朋友，這里是可可早間課堂。我是Juliet。可可早間課堂給您講的是最基礎(chǔ)最基本的英語(yǔ)知識(shí)?；A(chǔ)即是精髓，基本即是精華。

【今日主題】

This morning I am about to continue being out with the answers to the translation exercises in 86th periodical morning class and today's morning class will give you an unexpected and surprised harvest. 今天我將繼續(xù)暢談在第86期中的習(xí)題答案，但是今天您會(huì)有意想不到的驚奇的收獲。那么，就馬上進(jìn)入Juliet的早間課堂教室吧。

【主題詳解】

我們來(lái)看第6題：說(shuō)來(lái)真奇怪，他居然與那位高傲的女子墜入情網(wǎng)。

It is strange that he fall in love with such a snobbish girl.

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】

[陷阱提示] that he fall in love with such a snobbish girl這個(gè)主語(yǔ)從句中的fall為什么用這個(gè)動(dòng)詞的原形呢?主語(yǔ)是第三人稱單數(shù)，而且主句也是一般現(xiàn)在是呀，原因請(qǐng)參見第87期中【習(xí)題1】的[陷阱提示]詳解。

[單詞詳解] snobbish [?sn?bi?] 這個(gè)詞的英式發(fā)英和美式發(fā)音區(qū)別很大，美式發(fā)音為[?sna:bi?]。此外這個(gè)詞還有個(gè)非正式寫法是：snobby [?sn?bi? 。{ 中英雙解} It means " feeling that you are more intelligent than other people ". 譯為：自命不凡的，高傲的。{例句}She is too snobbish as she works very hard and her grades are excellent，which makes her not to make friends with anyone in her class. 由于她學(xué)習(xí)非常努力，成績(jī)格外優(yōu)秀，所以她非常地高傲，這使得她不愿意和班上任何人交朋友。

{視野拓展}However, another meaning of this word is much more widely used. 但是這個(gè)詞的另一個(gè)意思更為用得廣泛。What's it? It means " thinking that having a high social class is important". 譯為：勢(shì)力的。我們來(lái)看英國(guó)名著一下《簡(jiǎn).愛》中的一句話：Jane feels she can never compete with these snobbish, elegant people. 簡(jiǎn)·愛感到她永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法同這些高雅卻勢(shì)利的人們競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。想必大家都讀過(guò)我們中國(guó)現(xiàn)代文學(xué)《圍城》，其中有一句是:“文紈道：“我就不信老同學(xué)會(huì)那么勢(shì)利!” 翻譯則是：Wen-wan said, "I can't believe old classmates could be that snobbish."{例句} 下面的句子非常有趣，它們是一些例句，但是我把它們組合成了一個(gè)小短文，可以說(shuō)是一個(gè)Topic Discussion for Snobbishness】。

As for snobbish, some people maybe say, " One shouldn't be too snobbish as snobs [sn?b](1.(諂上傲下的)勢(shì)利小人)(2.自高自大者, 自命不凡者)are be hated by all people." Some people probably say, "A snobbish little rascal [?rɑ:sk?l ] (1.流氓, 無(wú)賴)(2.(開玩笑說(shuō)法)淘氣的人(尤指小孩), 惡作劇的人), only values clothes and not the man himself. ." Nevertheless, some would say, " If you don't play a part of a snob, you would always live in poverty and not enjoy a noble life." What do you think about snobbishness? I think, I cannot say it is right or wrong as a snob because everything has one more face. It is fine just that we can hold a sense of propriety [pr??prai?ti] well.

或許有的人說(shuō)：“做人不要太勢(shì)眼了，嫌貧愛富遭人痛恨。”或許有的人說(shuō)：“勢(shì)利鬼只重衣衫，不重自己的尊言，不要做一個(gè)勢(shì)利鬼。”但是，有人說(shuō)：“如果不做個(gè)勢(shì)利眼，生活則是清清貧貧窮，享受不到貴族生活，誰(shuí)不想生活得好呢?”各位聽眾朋友，你是怎樣看待勢(shì)利眼這類人呢?Juliet認(rèn)為是否做一個(gè)勢(shì)利眼，不能評(píng)判其行為對(duì)與錯(cuò)，因?yàn)槭挛锒季哂卸嗝嫘?，我們要以矛盾論，辯證法來(lái)看待事物，有些事兒人們認(rèn)為不對(duì)的，但是您可以做，也就是說(shuō)Juliet支持您可以做個(gè)勢(shì)利眼，但就是把握好分寸就行了。

[短語(yǔ)詳析] fall in love 墜入情網(wǎng), 談戀愛。那么要說(shuō)與某人談戀愛在短語(yǔ)的后面加上介詞with, 即是： fall in love with，那么be in love with 意思是：與某人在熱戀中。這兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)的區(qū)別請(qǐng)參見第86期的習(xí)題1中的go bankrupt短語(yǔ)的詳細(xì)解釋。

從清晨就開始我們一天有意義的生活!

【視野拓展】

說(shuō)道love，英語(yǔ)中有含蓄的愛情表達(dá)法，美國(guó)人盡管喊了多少年的性開放，但很多美國(guó)人在談情說(shuō)愛方面，　仍然喜歡采用一些含蓄保守的詞句或語(yǔ)句，表現(xiàn)文明和禮貌。Juliet今天了，就用這些表示含蓄保守的詞語(yǔ)和語(yǔ)句來(lái)說(shuō)說(shuō)我的戀愛的故事吧。

1 have a ( big )crush onI had big crush on my political teacher when I were at middle school.

我在讀中學(xué)時(shí)就愛慕我的政治老師極了。

2 feel an instant magnetism [?m?gnitiz?m]

I felt an instant magnetism and my heart beat very fast when my eyes met my teacher's eyes.

當(dāng)我的眼光我和我政治老師的眼光相遇時(shí)，我就感到一種磁性般的吸住. 心跳得特別得快。It is natural.當(dāng)您處于少男少女青春萌動(dòng)期的時(shí)候，這是很正常的。

3 catch one's eyeI had many outstanding gifts, good-looking and I did well in my study so I caught my political teacher's eye too.

我呢，在讀書那會(huì)兒，是個(gè)漂亮妞兒，多才多藝而且成績(jī)優(yōu)異，所以我的政治老師也愛慕上了我。

4 have the hots for somebody & be attracted to each otherI couldn't say I had the hots for my teacher first or he did it first, maybe we were attracted to each other at that time.

我也說(shuō)不準(zhǔn)是我先愛上我的老師，還是我的老師先愛上我，或許那時(shí)是我們互相吸引著對(duì)方吧。

5 hit it offAfter my graduation from university, my mother introduced a handsome and rich man to me, but we didn't seem to hit it off. The reason is that I couldn't forget my teacher , perhaps that was my first love in my life which was not easily forgotten.

大學(xué)畢業(yè)了，母親幫我介紹了一位英俊而且很富有的男子，聽說(shuō)他有一百萬(wàn)呀，可是了，我們并沒有一見鐘情，沒有緣分，因?yàn)槲彝坏粑业睦蠋?，或許這就是人們常說(shuō)的初戀是很難忘的。

好了，Juliet的戀愛故事講完了，大家記住所講的片語(yǔ)嗎?我們來(lái)總結(jié)一下: 1 have a ( big )crush on 2 feel an instant magnetism 3 catch one's eye4 have the hots for somebody 5 be attracted to each other6 hit it off 上面提到的片語(yǔ)都是描寫男女間互相傾慕，兩情相悅，有吸引力或一見鍾情。
