double takeI did a double take when I saw how much weight she had lost.
大家覺得double take在這應該怎麼理解呢?double有兩倍,加倍的意思,動詞take有很多種意思,連在一起表示 to be so surprised at something that you have to take another look。表示因為驚奇或者詫異而多看一眼,to look twice due to surprise or disbelief.
Everyone did a double take at his shiny new sports car as he drove by.
他開著酷炫的跑車經過時,大家都忍不住多看一眼。
有時候我們很久沒見一個人,ta突然出現的時候跟你印象中不太一樣,這個時候你會覺得很詫異,是不是認錯人了,可以說:
I did a double take - I couldn't believe it was her.
我又看了一眼,簡直不敢相信是她。
It means to look at someone or something and then look again because you suddenly recognize him, her, or it or notice that something unusual is happening.
同樣呢,看到一個人覺得很眼熟,忍不住多看一眼確認一下,也可以使用這個表達。
With her hair cut short and dyed red, I did a double take at first.
她把頭髮簡短了又染紅了,我多看了一眼才認出來。
It refers to a delayed surprised reaction at seeing someone or something.
下面我們一起來學習一些例句:
When the nurse saw that the man had six toes, she did a double take.
當護士看到這個男人有六根腳趾的時候,驚奇地多看了一眼。
I had to do a double take when she walked in — she looked exactly like her mother!
她進來的時候,我不得不多看了一眼,因為她跟她媽媽簡直一模一樣。
When the boy led a goat into the park, everyone did a double take.
當這個男孩把羊牽進公園的時候,每個人都多看了一眼。
最後給大家補充講一個表達,也是美國人常常使用的,叫double check。
check有檢查、核實的意思,double check就是再一次檢查核實、仔細確認的意思。
To check again; to check with extra caution or attention; to verify or make sure.
I'm pretty sure that he's not coming, but I can double check the guest list.
我很確定他不會來,但是我可以再核實一下賓客名單。
