今天我們來學習一個有趣的表達吧~
我們說鈴響啦~
表達是：
The bell is ringing.
The bell rang.
There goes the bell.
There rings the bell.
那麼？
ring a bell作何解呢？
按門鈴？
為了解開這個謎底，
我們先來看一段情景，
這樣有助於你理解哦~~
Again, sorry for the mix up. If you could just sign up right here.
I don't remember this. Are you sure that's mine?
It was on you the night you were admitted.
I got hit by a car. I don't remember anything about that night.
Well, looks like you were gonna propose to someone.
「Susan, be mine forever, Mike.」
Does that ring a bell?
It sure does.
看完視頻，你有木有大致理解ring a bell 的意思？
Mike在車禍之後失去了之前的記憶，就連要拿去求婚的戒指也不記得了。但是，在護士提到戒指上刻的字——「Susan, be mine forever, Mike.」後，詢問「does that ring a bell」的時候，Mike似乎有了那麼一丟丟印象~~
所以，ring a bell 的含義是 「想起什麼了嗎？」
生活中，如果對事情或者對一個人一時想不起來，就可以用這個表達啦~~
但得是否定形式的哦~~
*If something rings a bell, it is slightly familiar to you and you know you have heard it before, but you do not remember it fully
熟悉，但是卻又不能完全想起來~
-Have you ever heard Frank Barone?
-That name rings a bell but I can’t remember exactly where I』ve heard it before.
-你聽過富蘭克·巴羅嘛？
-有些印象，但是想不起來之前在哪兒聽到過。

我們再來了解一下其他的表達~~
