17. Oh, it was Sally. You know, she always has the latest news in town and can't wait to talk it over with me.
點睛
本句中的can't wait to do sth. 是聽音難點,意思是“等不及,迫不及待做某事”。the latest news指的是“最新的消息”,而不是“最晚的消息”。talk over意為“談?wù)?rdquo;。
考點歸納
口語中表達“熱切盼望做某事”的常用短語還有:
look forward to doing意為“高興地等待;盼望”。如:
We are all looking forward to going to Lijiang for our vacation. 我們都盼望著假期能去麗江玩。
be eager for意為“渴求,極想”。如:
The little boy was eager for meeting his mother. 小男孩渴望見到他的媽媽。
