A Wrinkle In Time Part 1
在放学回家的路上,Meg手里抱满了书,却听到其中一个男孩子说她“哑巴弟弟”。听到这句话,她把手里的书扔到路边,用尽全力和他扭打起来,顶着被扯烂的衣服和一只眼睛下的淤伤回家。
At this she’d thrown die books on the side of the road and tackled him with every ounce of strength she had, and arrived home with her blouse torn and a big bruise under one eye.
这里有个很有意思的die,一直没有找到具体是什么意思,但是我觉得在这句里,我可以把它理解为“该死的”。 另外还有可以学习的单词:
1.tackle n.滑车,装备,用具,扭到;vt.处理,抓住,固定,与……交涉;vi.扭到,拦截抢球
英: 1. to try to deal with a difficult problem处理,对付(难题)
英: 2. to try to take the ball away from an opponent in a game such as football or hockey
英: 3. to talk to someone in order to deal with a difficult problem(为了解决难题)与……商谈,与……交涉tackle sb about sth.
例如:When I tackled Susan about it, she admitted she’d made a mistake.我找苏珊谈了这事,她承认是她错了。
英: 4. to start fighting someone, especially a criminal对付,打(尤指罪犯)
2.竭尽全力,学到了一个新的表达方式:with every ounce of strength
3.bruise, [ bru:z] n.擦伤,挫伤,青肿;vt.使受淤伤,使受挫伤;vi.擦伤,受伤;
英1: a purple or brown mark on your skin that you get because you have fallen, been hit etc.淤青,青肿,擦伤
minor cuts and bruises轻微的伤口和淤青
英2: if part of your body bruises, or if you bruise part of your body, it gets hit or hurt and a bruise appears (使)碰伤,擦伤,(使)成淤伤
英3: to affect someone badly and make them feel less confident打击,挫伤(某人的自信心)bruise sb’s pride/ego挫伤某人自尊心
回到家,她的十岁双胞胎弟弟,比她早一个小时到家,很气愤,告诉她:“有需要的话,让我们去打架。”
Her ten-year-old twin brothers, who got home from school an hour earlier than she did, were disgusted.“Let us do the fighting when it’s necessary,”they told her.
这句里新的单词disgusted,我们来看下:
disgust: n.厌恶,嫌恶vt.使厌恶,使作呕
作为名词,英译有两种:
英1: a strong feeling of dislike, annoyance, or disapproval厌恶,气愤,反感
with disgust: Joan looked at him with disgust.琼厌恶地看着他。
in disgust: Sam threw his books down in disgust and stormed out of the room.萨姆气愤地扔下书,冲出房间。
to sb’s disgust: Much to my disgust, I found that there were no toilets for the disabled.让我非常气愤的是,我发现竟然没有供残疾人使用的厕所。
介词放在disgust后,
disgust with: Nelson’s disgust with US politics.纳尔逊对美国政治的反感
Disgust at: The fans didn’t hide their disgust at the umpire’s decision.球迷们没有掩饰对裁判这次判罚的不满。
英2: a very strong feeling of dislike that almost makes you sick, caused by something unpleasant嫌恶,厌恶,作呕
例如: He reached into the bin with a look of disgust on his face.他把手伸进垃圾箱,脸上带着厌恶的表情。
作为动词,英译如下:
英1: to make someone feel very annoyed or upset about something that is not acceptable使(某人)反感(厌恶,气愤)
例如:Many parents claimed to be disgusted by the amount of violence in the film.许多家长称对电影里大量的暴力内容很反感。
be disgusted to find/hear/see
I was disguested to find the picture on page one of Sunday’s feature section.看到周日专题报道首页里的照片,我感到很气愤。
英2: to be so unpleasant that it makes you feel almost sick使(某人)感到恶心(作呕)
