每日一句英譯英:You/I just have one of those faces

我一直堅持從高中英語的英語以後,一定要開始過渡到用英語學英語,用英語理解英語的學習「新高度」上來。

因此,我們學習一句英語時,到底是為了要用中文才能懂得它的意思自己要記住它的中文,還是為了訓練自己記住它的英語呢?

比如:見到英語You have one of those faces時,你真的以為一句中文「你有一張大眾臉」就是它的全部,還是:用英語學英語,我們會從英語You have one of those faces得到「更多的英語」,它的英語解釋本身就是很好的英語口語呢?

1) I just have one of those faces原版英語閱讀與體驗:

I Guess I Just Have One Of Those Faces(括弧內是我加的注釋):

People approach me(big word:=came up to me ,came close to me) several times a day to tell me that I look like someone else. It’s usually some actor from a show, or their cousin, or a sandwich they remember fondly. I guess I just have one of those faces.

Occasionally I really wanted to ask them whether they meant the comparison(they compare me with someone else) as a compliment(big word:=a praise)...

Most recently I went uninvited(without an invitation) to a wedding where I was mistaken (they thought I was someone else and they were wrong)by all in attendance for the groom(=the new wife)...

這段英語不是用來給你一句一句翻譯成中文「才能懂的」,是用來給你用英語理解英語Whst does it mean if you say I just have one of those faces的。

2) I just have one of those faces英譯英:

When we read: that I look like someone else the comparison as a compliment,I was mistaken for the groom,Okay.I got you.

1.Okay.I got you.When we say:You just have one of those faces,we mean:You look like someone else.

2.Okay.I got you.When we say:You just have one of those faces,we mean:You compare domeone with someone else=his or her lookalike.

3.Okay.I got you.When we say:You just have one of those faces,we mean:You mistake someone for his or her lookalike.

記住這些解釋性英語既是我們的基本功,也不比記中文意思難,同時本身也是很好的英語口語。

3) I just have one of those faces的Big word反向運用:

Okay.I got you.Next time.If I mistake doneone for someone else,his or her lookalike,or I think hr or she looke likes someone else,I won't say You look like my friend,I mistake you for my friend,I'lll say :You just have one of those faces.

這樣用英語學英語,中文應該就是「多餘的了」。

限於篇幅,I just have one of those faces的其它意思暫且不學。

    每日一句英譯英:This is apples and oranges我們一直認為,只有用中文「學會」一句英語,並有機會把這句英語「用上」,跟別人交流,才算是「學到了英語口語」。這是一種根深蒂固的英語學習觀點,不一定有錯。
