每日一句英譯英:He always takes the lion's share
我們學習英語的過程,就是訓練自己逐漸用學過或沒學過的英語代替中文學習,用中文理解,用中文記憶英語的過程,也就是代替原有中文思維的過程。路雖漫長,它卻是你耗費不可逆的十年八年生命學英語的唯一真諦。
1) 英語體驗:Examples of He always takes the lion's share
問題:What does it mean when you say He always takes the lion's share?
1.Jack always spends the lion's share of his time in sleeping in class.
2.Jack always gets the lion's share of it whenever our teachers praises us for doing something that we all do together.That's unfair.
3.The lion's share of public funding(財政撥款) goes to education every year=Schools receive the lion's share of public funding every year.
4.Mary took the lion's share of the birthday cake last night.
5.A.How do you spend your money every month?
B.Well,the lion's share of it goes to paying for my house.
6.Well,the baby who cries gets the lion's share of attention and the milk.
如果你知道什麼是the most part of something,你就可以用英語the most part of something代替原有的「中文思維」理解英語the lion's share了
2) He always takes the lion's share英譯英
1.Okay.I got you.If you say you get the lion's share of the cake,you mean you get the largest part of the cake,or the most part of something.
2.Okay.I got you.Next time when I get the most part or the largest part of something,I won't say I get the most part,or the largest part of something any more,I'll say I get the lion's share of something.
這樣訓練,不就吧原有中文思維慢慢改過來了嗎?
3.So,Jack always spends the lion's share of his time in sleeping in class means Jack always spends most (part)of his time in sleeping in class
4.So,Jack always gets the lion's share of it whenever our teachers praises means Jack always gets the most of it whenever our teachers praises us.
4.So,The lion's share of public funding(財政撥款) goes to education every year means The most part,the largest part of public funding(財政撥款) goes to education every year.
以此類推逐個替換:Follow to finish the rest.
你覺得即使用中文「學會」了英語the lion's share,我們有機會經常跟人對話英語口語「說」the lion's share嗎?沒有,那麼,用中文學它的意義何在?
