英語習語A penny for your thoughts的英語口語練習
1、見到英語A penny for your thoughts,我的第一反應是「用」英語努力去回想,「用」的英語是:What does a penny for your thoughts mean? 或What does it mean when we say A penny for your thoughts?
如果我們學習A penny for your thoughts能有這樣的「反應」,我們首先就是在「用」英語了,而不是說「學習」後等哪天有機會跟別人「用」上英語A penny for your thoughts才叫「用」。殘酷的事實就是,不管你現在把A penny for your thoughts學的再好,你基本沒有機會真正用上這句英語。而如果你連現在都在「用」中文學它「中文什麼意思嘛?」,那麼,你就真正的是英語「學」而「不用」了。
2、把學過的英語用起來,用英語回答What does a penny for your thoughts mean? 或What does it mean when we say A penny for your thoughts?問題:
1. Well,when we say A penny for your thoughts,we are asking somebody and want to know:What are you thinking about?
2. When we are trying to find out what another person is thinking,we can say:A penny for your thoughts.
want to know及trying to find out what another person is thinking都是高中英語,見到A pennt for your thoughts時都應該能努力回想起來。
這就是既把學過的英語用起來,又做到用英語理解英語,又同時練習了英語口語。
下次見到A pennt for your thoughts,你還會「用」中文「說」「中文什麼意思來著」嗎?
Examples:
1.You've been awfully quiet tonight, honey—a penny for your thoughts?(What are you thinking ?)
2. You haven’t said anything all evening,Jane! A penny for your thoughts?(What are you thinking about?)
