每日一句英譯英:He is a black sheep
我們學習英語,首先要訓練的能力是:見到一句英語首先訓練自己用英語問:What does it mean if you say He is a black sheep的英語「回答」能力,訓練自己在「看」答案前:你自己可能會用到哪些學過的英語來表達的「英語思維」能力。長年英語學習都是在刺激這個習慣,它就會形成最終的「英語能力」。
一上來就問「中文是什麼?」,我們能學到東西嗎?
現在努力用英語想想,回答What does it mean if you say He is a black sheep,你會「用到」哪些英語?
1) 英語體驗:Examples
1. He is the black sheep of his family,every family member will be glad to see him go forever.
2. He is a black sheep of our team:he made our project a failure=fail.
下面的英語有多少是讓你一看:哦,原來是這些英語,Okay.I got you.
2) He is the black sheep英譯英
1. Okay.I got you.If you say someone is the black sheep of your family or your group,or your team, you mean that they are considered bad or worthless by your members.They bring shame,they bring disgrace to you.
Okay.I got you.有你想到國沒想到的英語表達嗎?
2. So,He is the black sheep means He is bad,he is worthless in our group.He brings shame,he brings disgrace to our team.
首先訓練用英語學英語,用英語思維,可能是我們首要任務,而不是英語「學來跟人說,跟人用」。
