口语点津

1.What a gorgeous day!天气多好啊!

gorgeous指“极好的“,用在天气上指天气晴朗。

[口语拓展]此句是由what"引导的感叹句,what"意为"多么"用作定语,修饰名词(被强调部分),单数可数名词前要加不定冠词a/an,复数可数名词或不可数名词前不用冠词。常用用法如下:

①What + a + 形容词 + 名词单数 + 主语+动词!

What a beautiful girl she is!

②What + 形容词 + 名词复数 + 主语 + 动词!

What beautiful girls they are!

③What + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + 主语 + 动词!

What delicious milk it is!

2.Global warming worries me. 我担心全球变暖。

“全球变暖“是一个常谈论的话题,一定要记住它的英语说法

[口语拓展] Global warming has worried me.

如果说担心某人,可以说;

Your parents worry about you.

Your parents are worried about you.

你的父母在担心你。

3.We can’t always count on weather reports now.我们也不能总是依赖天气预报。

count on意为“依靠, 指望”,和depend on 是同义。例如:

That was the only thing they could count on /depend on.

那是他们唯一依靠的东西。

4. They’re much better tippers, 他们今天给的小费比较多。

Tip 做名词时,意为“小费”,tipper由此变化而来,意为“给小费的人”。Better是good的比较级,用来修饰tipper。直译:他们今天是更好的给小费的人,也就是给小费给得较多。

参考译文

格兰特小姐:天气多好啊!

出租车司机:可不是吗!我们的确需要多一些这样的好天气。

格兰特小姐:我知道,我担心全球变暖,人们似乎无法知道过了今天,明天会是什么样,其后会如何改变。

出租车司机:对啊,还有我们也不能总依赖天气预报。

格兰特小姐:你有没有发现乘客在好天气时更开心?

出租车司机:使得。他们今天给的小费比较多。
