原版英語英譯英微閱讀:Anything/Everything goes
我們學習英語的目的,是通過學習某句英語讓我們「獲得」更多的英語,記住更多的英語,而不是僅僅記住這句英語的中文。
這是我們學習英語的底線,也是英語訓練的意義所在:讓英語成長。
1) 用英語「讀懂」下面的英語Evetything goes
1.John always has to wear a suit and tie to the office, but where I work anything goes.
2. You're wearing sneakers(=sports shoes) to the office?-Why not? Anything goes these days.
3.Street fights are especially dangerous because there are no rules to protect your safety—anything goes.
面對這些Anything/Everything goes,我們「獲得」的應該是,也必須是:又得到了一次用英語理解英語的訓練,而不是:又記住了一句英語的中文。
2) 用英語「說」出:Anything goes
1. Okay.I got you.When we say Anything goes,or Everything goes,we mean All things are accepted or acceptable.You can do whatever you want.
還有更多英語用詞可以表達同樣意思:
2. Okay.I got you.When we say Anything goes,or Everything goes,we mean Everything is permitted,
3.So,if you say anything goes,you mean There are no rules about acceptable behaviour(=what you do) or dress(=what you wear): Anything is permissible.Anything is likely to be tolerated.
光記住一句中文:悉聽尊便,我們會失去很多英語。
