每日一句英譯英:What's done is done
我們訓練自己用英語學英語,用英語表達英語,那麼,在我們看到某句英語的英語解釋前,我們先嘗試著自己用英語去「理解」,你會「用」和「說」哪些英語呢?與別人的「用詞」有多大區別呢?這種「先思考再對照」的學習方式一定讓自己記憶深刻。經常做這行語言體驗非常有益於提高英語。
比如:思考英語What's done is done.
1) Examples,信息輸入:What does it mean?
1. I'm really disappointed in what you did, but what's done is done—let's just accept and forget about it now.
2.I really regret refusing=saying No to your advice=your ideas=you suggestion.But what's done is done.I must take whatever is coming to me.
3.Come on.「What's done is done. It’s okay to look back to see how far you』ve come but keep moving forward.One of life's lessons is always moving on.That's life.
除了「努力」去「想」中文外,一點英語都想不起?
2) Meaning
1.What's done is done means What's done cannot be undone.What's gone is gone.
2.What's done is done means Let bygones be bygones.Forgive and forget.
多好的英語學英語互為解釋!
3.If you say What's done is done,you mean we cannot change something that has already happened=what has already heppened. So don't have to worry about it any more.
你不一定有機會跟人講這句用中文學來的英語,但你必須有機會自己跟自己「說」這些英語,隨時可以做到。
3) 信息輸出:Okay.I got you.
1.Okay.I got you.If you say What's done is done, you mean What's done cannot be undone.What's gone is gone.You mean Let bygones be by gones,let's forgive and forget.
2.Okay I got you.When we say What's done is done,we mean what happened had already happened,we cannot change it=we can do nothing about it.We have to move on=just keep moving on.
只會「想」中文「木已成舟」,「世上沒有後悔藥」,你是鍛鍊不到這麼多真的好的英語的。
沒有後悔藥=What happened had already happened,we cannot change it,為什麼只會「一根筋」=What's done is done才能表達不可?
這就是我們堅持用英語學英語的意義。
