    【绝望的主妇】“说到底,能让你的生活往前走的,只有你自己。”

    【句子】... but at the end of the day, she is still a woman, just like me.   【Desperate Housewives S2E10】 【发音】/bət/ /æt/ /ðiː/ /end/ /əv/ /ðə/ /deɪ/ /ʃiː/ /ɪz/ /stɪl/ /ə/ /ˈwʊm.ən/ /dʒʌst/ /laɪk/ /miː/ 【发音技巧】but at连读+闪音;at the不完全爆破;the end当中the重读;end of连读;still a连读;just like me两处不完全爆破; 【翻译】但是毕竟,她还是个女人,跟我一样。 【适用场合】 今天我们来重点学习这个表达,叫做at the end of the day; 这个短语的字面意思是:“在一天要结束的时候,” eg: I will have an answer at the end of the day. 今天傍晚我会得到一个答案。   eg: I'm usually tired at the end of the day. 一天结束时我通常很累。   但是事实情况是,在口语运用场合中,它相对来说很少被理解成字面意思。 更多的情况下,它的意思是ultimately,或者看这条英文解释when everything else has been taken into consideration,所以可以理解成“最终;终究;说到底”的含义; eg: At the end of the day, family is the most important. 说到底,家人才是最重要的。   eg: At the end of the day, we all want the same thing. 归根到底,我们想要的都一样。   eg: At the end of the day, it's just a job. 说到底,这不过是份工作。   eg: That's just how I feel about your girlfriend. At the end of the day, your relationship is your business. 我对你女朋友就是这种感觉,不过说到底,你们的感情是你们自己的事。   eg: At the end of the day you will have to decide where you want to live. 归根到底,还是得你自己决定想住在哪里。   eg: At the end of the day the only person who can take your life forward from here is you. 说到底,能让你的生活从这里往前走的,只有你自己。   【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 At the end of the day, he'll still have to make his own decision.

    【绝望的主妇】“我还想再吃一块,但是我管住了自己。”

    【句子】Please restrain yourself, Gabrielle.  【Desperate Housewives S2E10】 【发音】/pliːz/ /rɪˈstreɪn/ /jə(r)ˈself/ /ˌɡæb.riˈel/ 【发音技巧】暂无; 【翻译】请自重,加布丽尔。 【适用场合】 今天我们来学习一下这个表达,restrain oneself,这里的动词restrain可以理解成:to control the actions or behaviour of someone by force, especially in order to stop them from doing sth., or to limit the growth or force of sth.; 所以它有“抑制、克制、阻止、限制”这样的意思; 而对应地,restrain oneself可以理解成“控制自己的情绪、行为”,在口语中也经常会有restrain oneself from doing sth. 的用法; If you restrain yourself from doing sth., you prevent yourself from showing that emotion or doing what you wanted or intended to do.   eg: Unable to restrain herself, she rose and went to the phone. 她控制不住自己的情绪,站起身走向了电话。   eg: She was so angry that she could hardly restrain herself. 她当时是如此的愤怒以至于她很难控制住自己的情绪。   eg: She had to restrain herself from crying out in pain. 她不得不忍住,才没有痛得喊出声来。   eg: I was tempted to answer back, but I restrained myself. 我本来想顶嘴,但还是忍住了。   eg: Please restrain yourself from coughing during the performance. 在演出期间,请克制一下,不要咳嗽。   eg: I wanted another piece but somehow restrained myself. 我还想再吃一块,但是我管住了自己。   【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 They restrained themselves from laughing.

    【绝望的主妇】more power to you在英文中怎么理解?

    【句子】But if you wanna try, more power to you.    【Desperate Housewives S2E10】 【发音】/bʌt/ /ɪf/ /juː/ /ˈwɒnə/ /ˈwɑːnə/ /traɪ/ /mɔː(r)/ /ˈpaʊə(r)/ /tʊ/ /juː/ 【发音技巧】But if连读+闪音;if you连读; 【翻译】但是如果你想试试,那就祝你好运吧! 【适用场合】 今天我们来学习一下这个短语的用法,叫做more power to you! 在英式英语中,人们会说more power to your elbow! 也是一个意思,通常用于支持对方做出的决定。 可以理解成May someone or something find success in their activity or pursuit; 或者看这条英文解释: an expression of praise or admiration for someone's success or brave actions; 所以这个短语可以理解成:“再接再厉!加油!祝你顺利!祝你成功”这样的意思;   eg: You want to be an auto mechanic when you graduate? Well, I don't have any idea what I want to be, so more power to you! 你毕业以后,想当一名汽车修理工?好吧,我连自己想干什么都不知道了,你真棒啊!加油!   eg: -- "I've decided to quit my job and set up my own business." -- "Well, good for you. More power to your elbow!" ——“我已决定辞职自己创业。” ——“好样的。加油干吧!”   eg: -- “At 70, I'm learning to play the guitar.” -- “More power to you! That's wonderful.” ——“我七十岁了,正在学习弹吉他。” ——“您太厉害了!真佩服您。”   eg: Hey, if they want to spend all their free time in front of a computer screen, then more power to them. 嘿,如果他们想把所有空闲时间都花在电脑屏幕前,那就随他们去吧。(讽刺的语气) 通过这样一个例句,各位同学会发现,more power to的后面也可以跟上其他的人称代词,但是只能用宾格形式,因为to是介词,后面只能跟人称代词的宾格。所以你可以说more power to him/her/them,都非常常用。   【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 -- “I'm going to travel across the country on a unicycle.” -- “That's crazy... but hey, more power to you!”
