用英語「懂」英語:What's on your bucket list什麼意思?
在英語世界裡竟然還有個叫the bucket list的表達。這是個既然陌生又熟悉的詞彙:Well,I know bucket means 水桶 or 木桶 in Chinese.And when we say Someones kicks the bucket,it means someone dies.But what does it mean if you hear people saying the bucket list?
面對新詞the bucket list,姑且不問「中文是什麼?」,我們是要「記住」它的中文,還是它的英語
我們還是用它來訓練用英語「懂」英語吧。用英語「懂」英語了,中文的大概意思(不一定是字典裡那個標準的中文翻譯喲)也就「懂」了。
1.I always ask people some interesting questions,such as What's in your bucket list? Becayse I know people love talking about their hopes and dreams for the future.
Okay.I got you了沒有?
So,does it mean our hopes and dreams for the future if people say the bucket list?
2.What is a bucket list?
Well,we have many many examples. Eat croissants(羊角麵包)in Paris, snack on bugs, learn to cook Greek food, see the Northern Lights(北極光), ride a bungee jump,hit the jack pot(彩票中頭獎),live in a big house,own a Lamborghini(蘭博基尼)?
Most of us have goals and aspirations for our future, things we have always dreamed of doing or hope we could experience in our lifetimes=in the future.
Okay.I got you.我們是藉助這些英語並「記住」這些英語「懂得」英語the bucket list的。或者說,我們必須首先記住和積累這些英語再去考慮懂得並記住它的中文。
Okay.I got you.If we say I have so many things on my bucket list yet to do,we mean we have many hopes and aspirations for the future,such as we'll travel to France and eat croissants in Paris,such as we snack on bugs,
suh as we learn to cook Greek food, such as we can see the Northern Lights, such as we'll ride a bungee jump,such as we'll hit the jack pot one day,or live in a big house,or own a Lamborghini.
So,the bucket list means our goals and aspirations for our future, things we have always dreamed of doing or hope we could experience in our lifetimes=in the future.
我們一輩子希望能做到的事情,或者我們一生希望實現的願望。好吧,我只能大概把它的中文說出來,更好的翻譯大家自己斟酌就是。
1.Well,you know Learning English well is one of the first thing on my bucket list=is my hope and aspiration for the future.
2.For many rich people,go and live in the USA is the number-one thing on their bucket list.
注意固定用法Something on my,your,his bucket list
