咱们“熟人哈1读书营”已经进行十多天了,聊天征询意见时,有小伙伴提出语言点讲的详细虽然好,却难免增添阅读的负担,减损了读书的兴味,那么从第四章起我尽量减少讲义篇幅、对非必要掌握内容不赘述(我有偏爱的词就任性讲一讲),同时作业布置上也尽量以趣味性为主,大家阅读中遇到问题可以随时群内沟通,有好的想法多多提出,感谢。

虽然一看这个句子就知道讲的啥意思,但就是想对应上,奈何这是第二个朗文找不到对应词义,但是苹果自带有的词。
The giant took a gulp of tea and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
-
gulp:
a large amount of something that you swallow quickly, or the action of swallowing 一大口;吞咽
gulp of
He took a huge gulp of brandy.
他喝了一大口白兰地。
作名词时gulp和楼上swig都是一大口的意思
大家有没有想起什么一大口?我们看个句子:
She gulped down her breakfast and ran for the bus.
gulp down=gulp,有没有似曾相识??没错,Jeff老师讲的gobble down,句子的意思是:她狼吞虎咽地吃完早饭,跑去赶公交车了。
这里gulp作动词时,意思:to swallow large quantities of food or drink quickly 大口吞咽 ,快速吞下
所以我们在这里总结一下迄今见过的狼吞虎咽:pig out = wolf = gobble down = gulp down,另外补充bolt down也是一样的意思
bolt这个词常用意思是门窗的插销,我们在第一章见的是bolt of lightning,闪电。
另外我觉得swig作动词更侧重喝一大口,所以没有列在狼吞虎咽之列。
