我該喝什么呢?
What shall we drink?
同學們平時都喜歡喝什么飲料呢?可樂?奶茶?熱巧克力還是綠茶?走進超市我們發現可供選擇的飲料品種實在太多了。但是又有多少同學知道:哪些飲料是有益健康,哪些飲料是有損健康的呢?一起來看看下面的小短文吧。
Look at all the kinds of drinks on the table. There’re milk tea, water, fruit juice, milk and fizzy drinks (碳酸飲料). What should we drink? Coke?tastes great, but it is really bad for your teeth and bones (骨骼). It has a lot of sugar. Some drinks are good for us. Some are not. The health experts (健康專家) tell you to drink water and milk. Your body has lots of jobs and it needs (需要) water to do many of them. Milk is good for your eyes and bones.
【小練習】判斷下面句子正確與否,正確的寫“T”,錯誤的寫“F”。
1.( )Coke tastes great, but it is really bad for your teeth and bones.
2.( )Coke has a little sugar.
3.( )All drinks are good for us.
4.( )The health experts (健康專家) tell you to drink water and juice.
5.( )Fizzy drinks (碳酸飲料)are good for your eyes and bones.
【解析】
1.T.從文章第四句Coke tastes great, but it is really bad for your teeth and bones (骨骼).可以知道這句話是正確的。
2.F.從文章第五句It has a lot of sugar.“可樂含有很多糖”可以得出答案。
3.F.從文章第六、第七句的Some drinks are good for us. Some are not.“一些飲料對我們有好處,一些飲料對我們有害”可以知道這句是錯誤的。
4.F.從文章倒數第三句The health experts (健康專家) tell you to drink water and milk.“健康專家告訴我們該喝水和牛奶”可以知道題目中說的“水和果汁”是錯誤的。
5.F.從文章最后一句Milk is good for your eyes and bones.“牛奶對眼睛和骨骼有好處”可以知道題目中說的“碳酸飲料”是錯誤的。
5個“加油”的英語說法
“加油”在不同場合有不同的英語表述,你知道幾種?
1.“中國加油”,“英格蘭加油”怎么說?(比如在足球比賽的看臺上喊。)
這個簡單:“Come on China!”,“Come on England!”
2.“中國加油,中國加油,中國加油!”(在比賽中,連續喊。)
連續喊著“Come on China! Come on China!”聽起來挺別扭的。
所以喊:“Chi-na! Chi-na! Chi-na!”
3.“為……加油”英語怎么說?(還是在看比賽。)
“Cheer sb. on”比較常用。
例如:
We cheered the players on.(我們為運動員加油)。
4.“加油”(對方有需要克服的困難,你正在為他鼓勁兒。)
在這種情況下,跟漢語不同,英語沒有一個方便、通用的說法。你可以說:“good luck”。例如:
A: I still have 3,000 words to write of my essay.(我的論文還有3000字需要寫。)
B: Good luck.
也可以說:
A: I am going to have to work until midnight everyday this week.(這周我每天都要工作到午夜。)
B: Don‘t worry, it’ll all be over soon.
5. 在中國的外國人怎么說“加油”呢?
很多外國人會直接說出中文,有的人也覺得逐字翻譯成“add oil”也格外有趣。當然,這是在不正規場合的不正規說法。
