跟读时间:早上08:30-10:00分
跟读心得日记:
1、We've also turned a few storerooms over to other purposes, like using them for meetings (C11 Test2 Par2第12句)
改变什么,并不一定总是用change,也可以用这句话中的turn sth over,
2、These are proving very popular.(C11 Test2 Par2第15句)
That's proving more difficult than we'd expected!(C11 Test2 Par2第23句)
这两句都用到了prove,跟读这两句话很简单,但是理解这个结构,却花了不少事件。因为按照我的想法,这里不应该是are proving, 如果是被证明,那应该是are proved. 后来查了一下,才发现prove是可以做系动词来表达“什么东西证明是怎么怎么样” ,this proves true.
3、What we're finding is that people want to have lunch or a cup of coffee while they're here, so we're looking into the possibility of opening a café in due course.(C11 Test2 Par2第16句)
due course恰当的时候,合适的时机等等,这个在我们汉语当中也经常说,但以前我会用复杂的从句来表达,今天发现有一个很简单的固定短语。
4、We're also considering hiring out costumes to amateur drama clubs.(C11 Test2 Par2第19句)
单独说hire就是借入,租入,而hire out就是出租的意思,对比一下
I want to hire a room here
I want to hire out a room here.
5、Eventually, we intend to run courses in acting, but we're waiting until we've got the right people in place as trainers.(C11 Test2 Par2第22句)
get sth in place, 表示准备好什么东西,或者什么东西/人已经到位到岗了的意思。
