2. That project turned out to be a big flop. 那个计划变成一个大失败.turn out 这个片语来代替 become. 「变成...」
3. I ate salad, soup, steak and pudding. On top of that, I drank two cups of coffee. 我吃了沙拉, 汤, 牛排和布丁, 除此之外, 我还喝了两杯咖啡. 但除了 besides/in addition to 之外, 老美也很喜欢用 on top of that 这个片语.
4. We're gonna have two parties back-to-back next weekend. 下周末我们将连续有两场派对.「连续」 consecutively, in a row
We'll have three tests back-to-back tomorrow." 明天居然连续考三科
5. I have another class right after this. 我随后(下一堂)还有课.
「随后」就是用 right after 或是 right behind
"I'm sorry, but I have another class right after this." (很抱歉耶, 我下一堂还有课.) 或是像有时候公车挤不上去, 司机伯伯就会告诉我, "There is another bus right behind this one." (下一辆公车随后就到.)
right 在英文中常常有「马上」的意思, 例如, "I will be right back."
6. Knock it off. I can't stand this anymore. 停止吧! 我再也不能忍受了.「停止」例如看到两个人在打架, 你可以赶快说, "Knock it off" 或者是 "Cut it out." 来劝他们快点住手.
"The typhoon knocked the power line off."
7. How can we get through this (situation)? 我们要如何度过这个(难关)呢?No matter what's going to happen, we will get through this hard time together." (不管再来会发生什么事, 我们都要一起过度难关.)
8. We have to work this problem out by tomorrow. 我们必须在明天之前解决这个问题.
work out 这个动词片语, 它在英文里的用法可是千变万化的. 首先例如解决问题., "Let's work out some plans for the holiday." 这里的 work out 翻成解决当然不太恰当, 所以你可以把它翻成「作出来」. 它还可以代表「成功」(succeed). 例如你写了一个程式, 但你不知道能不能成功地执行, 你就可以说, "I don't know if this program is gonna work out." (我不知道这个程式会不会成功.) 或是男女朋友交往, 但你觉得你们俩个人不可能有结果, 这句话就是, "I don't feel this relationship is gonna work out."
9. I have to work on your name. 我必须练习(发出) 你的名字.成为 work on something) .像是你去餐厅服务生要收盘子时就会问, "Are you finished or still working on it?" (你吃完了吗? 还是要继续用?) 所以在这里 work on 可以当「吃」解释. 但是如果你到医院去, 听到有人说, "The doctor is still working on his patient." (医生还在医治他的病人). Work on 在这里又成了治疗 (heal) 的意思.
10. I really need to kick back during the holiday season. 我假期时真的需要好好放松一下.
relax 在口语中可以代换成 kick back. 听来是不是有点奇怪呢? 但这真的是蛮流行的讲法. 例如我在广播上常听到, "Kick off your shoes and kick back for a while." (脱掉你的鞋子, 好好地放松一下自己.)Kick back 这个片语还有许多其它的意思, 但都跟字面上的意思「踢回去」有关. 例如报复 (revenge). "The United States decided to kick back after the incident" (事件发生后, 美国决定要报复.) 或是像拿回扣也是用 kick back 喔, 例如, "The company had to kick back a lot to the corrupt officer." (这家公司必须给腐败的政府官员很大一笔佣金)
