【適用場合】
大家都知道最簡單的,
--Thank you. --You're welcome
其實welcome本身最開始的意思是
歡迎;接待
比如說:
Welcome home!
歡迎回家!
Welcome to Beijing!
歡迎來到北京!
今天我們學到的這個短語當中,
make sb. (feel) welcome
welcome當做adj. 受歡迎的
Received with pleasure and hospitality into one's company or home
讓某個人感受到歡迎、熱情,在新的地方感覺到被接納
If you make someone welcome or make them feel welcome, you make them feel happy and accepted in a new place.
eg: It's a great company. You will be made welcome.
這個公司很不錯,你肯定會感覺到備受歡迎。
eg: Our neighbours made us welcome as soon as we arrived.
我們一抵達,鄰居們就讓我們感覺到備受歡迎。
之前在【英語口語每日養成】當中還有講過,如果別人來你家做客,你可以怎麼展示出你好客熱情。
你可以說:
Make yourself at home.
就跟在自己家一樣,別拘束。
實際意思就是You relax and feel comfortable as if you were in your own home.
Andy: Please come in and make yourself at home.
Sue: Thank you. I'd like to.
Andy: 請進,別拘束,當自己家一樣。
Sue: 好的,謝謝。
Bill: I hope I'm not too early.
Bob: Not at all. Come in and make yourself at home. I've got a few little things to do.
Bill: Nice place you've got here.
Bill: 希望我沒有來得太早,打擾到你。
Bob: 一點沒有。進來吧,別拘束。我還有點事要做。
Bill: 你家挺漂亮的啊!
