每日一句英譯英:stand-up comedian or talk show
今天「遇到」了一個英語詞彙:He is a stand-up comedian,一看中文:脫口秀。
不對呀!A talk show才是習慣了的中文「脫口秀」,怎麼又來個a stand-up comedian?
So,What do you mean by saying a standup comedian? What does it mean if you say He is a stand-up comedian?
你是記住了更多的英語,還是只記住一句中文。
1) What does it mean:a stand-up comedian
If you're a stand-up comedian, you stand up alone and talk to yourself and perform on stage,and you're telling jokes,funny=amusing stories directly in front of a live audience=listeners,or viewers.
2) What does it mean:a talk show,or a chat show
A talk show,or a chat show is a radio programme or a television programme.
In the programme, famous guests=noted guests=celebrity guests=well-known people are asked questions about=are interviewed about themselves, or They discuss a topic or answer questions telephoned in by the audience.
這段英語是給我們一個訓練:訓練我們帶著「英語思維」:Okay.I got you去理解二者區別,並從中記住大量但不一定每以每句的英語,而不是帶著英譯漢的思維「用」中文理解。
3) Okay.I got you.
1.Okay.I got you.A stand-up comedian stands (up) alone on stage and talks to himself.
2.Okay.I got you.A stand-up comedian tells jokes,or funnies stories=amusing stories=talk to make people laugh.
3.Okay.I got you.A stand-up comedian talks directly in front of a live(實況的,現場的) audience.
記住這些英語,就能跟人用英語說說What does it mean了。
4.Okay.I got you.A talk show=a chat show is a radio programme or a television programme.
5.Okay.I got you.In a talk show,famous guests=noted guests=celebrity guests
=well-known people are asked a lot of questions about=are interviewed about themselves, or They discuss a topic or answer questions.
6.Okay.I got you.In a talk show,they only discuss=talk about a topic=something.They don't tell jokes,or funny stories.
能這麼用英語學英語,你記住的就是英語,而不僅僅是中文「單口相聲」,或「訪談」。
我這是在演示如何「用英語學英語」,又同時自我訓練英語口語。
