本期听力素材BBC The English We Speak - It beats me !
My dear audience members: 先听节目猜Beats me是什么意思~
下面是后期六给你划好的笔记❤
'It beats me' – a phrase used for saying that you do not know or understand something.
[非常实用的短语,但是它和[打人]一点关系都没有。]
The native speakers use it a lot, also you can say ‘Who knows?’
[后期六:beats me和who knows这俩差不多意思,都有那种“我不道,别问我”的傲娇感]
例:
When does the university start?
大学什么时候开学?
Beats me! Look at the admission notice.
我咋知道!看看录取通知书!
连读或者变音
It beats me why she stays with him.
[连读起来像一个词]
另一个例子:
It’s just not been a good day so far.
[后期六:听起来不大像原来的s和dʒ,而像/ʃ/。 变音,could you, (d+ju);It's just(s+dʒ)]
词汇搭配
safely
So now I can safely say, it beats me what’s going on in the office - I haven’t got a clue.
safely.
Do something safely is you will do something in a careful or cautious way.
[后期六:do sth safely本意就是小心谨慎地做事]
tense
Well the situation seemed very tense and the boss was shouting something about mice.
Tense is when something is stretched tight. 是某事被紧紧拉住的状态。
A rope can be tense. So can a muscle. When a person's tense, they're anxious.
[后期六:绳子和肌肉紧绷着都用tense,人紧绷着就是,紧张呗。]
“the situation seemed very tense”固定搭配,形容场面或情况看起来很紧张,形势严峻。
When a situation is tense, you might say you could "cut the tension with a knife."
[后期六:紧张感都可以实物具象化了(可以被切),可见情况多紧张╮(╯▽╰)╭]
[Don't be so anxious, just cut the tension with a knife. 也有别紧张,放轻松的意思。]
tense up
When the muscle tenses up,it contracts suddenly.
contract,收缩。economy contracts:经济紧缩。
例:US economy contracts at more than 6 percent annual rate.[美国经济年收缩率超过6%.]
tense的反义词是relaxed(放松的,轻松的)
If you tense up during exams, it's probably best to learn some relaxation techniques. The brain works best when it's relaxed. [如果考试中紧张,最好学点放松技巧。大脑在放松的时候才运转的最好。]
口语表达
boss sb around
Can you believe that Dave and Andrea are still married! He's always bossing her around.
Dear audience, I really hope nobody would do this to you. But if they do, just tell them to stop bossing you around.
[后期六:我们需要跳出来指责那些喜欢支使人的Biaaatches!!]
