62. It would be a shame for anyone visiting Australia not to see this unique creation in architecture.
點睛
It would be a shame...意為“……將是一個遺憾”。這句話的意思是:“如果去澳大利亞觀光而沒有看這座獨一無二的建筑,那將是個遺憾。”It would be a shame這一表達強調(diào)的是假設(shè)的語氣,雖然本句沒有使用虛擬語氣,但是它可以與虛擬語氣連用。如:
It would be a shame if you stopped smiling for the next two years. 要是你在接下來的兩年里不再微笑,那將會是一件讓人遺憾的事情。
考點歸納
關(guān)于shame的口語表達還有:
What a shame! (太可惜了!真惋惜!),相當(dāng)于What a pity!通常在聽到一些壞消息或不幸的事情時,我們會說:What a shame!以表示慨嘆,或者可以說:It's bad news. (這是壞消息。)
Shame on you. 意為“你真丟臉/可恥”。如:
—I forgot about my girlfriend's birthday. 我把女友的生日給忘了。
—Shame on you. 你真丟臉哦。
