A: Hello, everyone. This is English corner. I am XX. Nice to meet you.
B: I am XX. Nice to meet you, too.
A:当我们头顶掠过个性的风,我们就该知道,十一月来了,虽然红枫妖娆散落一地,可野草还在坚持。无论何时,这个世界都有我们驻守观望的理由。
B:说起观望,我又不禁想起了see,它其中就有观望,看的意思,但它还有很多我们不常用到的意思。
A: Yeah. In our daily life, there are often some friends who like to speak Chinese and English. If they speak English well, they may not make a fool of themselves. After all, the strength of others is placed in there, if the English is very tunnel, it will mistake!
B: I heard a funny story from a friend, once he bought a bag for his friend’s party. It was very nice. Another friend wanted to see the bag and say,” Let me see”. It was an awkward moment and the air was suddenly quiet.
A: XX,你知道Let me see是让我怎么样吗?
B: 当然了,它可不是让我看看,而是让我想一想。下面就让我们和小伙伴们一起来学习see的各种意思吧!
A:首先,see有“看,看见”的意思,例如Whether you see me or not. 不管你是否看到我。其次,有“拜访,看望”的意思,We should go see him. 我们应该去看看他。最后就是我们今天所遇到的这个“理解,领会”。
B: 所以呀,我们一定不可以忽略了一词多义。当有人说了I see,我们首先应该想到的是,see在这里是什么意思,就像这句话其实是“我明白了”,而不是“我看见了”。
A: Most of the time we overlook the details, but we should know that it is these details that determine our success or failure, we should start from the small things around us.
B: Right, when learning English words, we always only look at the first Chinese meaning, which causes us to forget the meaning of the word, put it in the sentence, how to translate is not smoothly. In everything we do, we must not look at one side of the picture, but at the whole.
A: Ok, then let’s get back to the topic and continue our English study. Do you know the meaning of “see it coming”?
B: Of course! When we think about it literally, we mean "to see something coming." what it really means is actually pretty easy to understand. It's a step up from the literal meaning. It means to expect.
A: 真的太不可思议了吧,这一个单词竟然有这么多不同的意思。
B: 这恰恰是我们文化的吸引人的地方,一个东西可以在多个地方使用,同时它也害惨了不少学生啊。
A: 是啊。那咱们再普及几个有关see方面的陷阱吧。
B: 好啊,你都问我那么多了,该我问你了吧,你可知道fail to see是什么意思?
A: 这能难得住我么?很多人可能都会有疑惑这是什么搭配,这个短语就是表示你现在对它不了解的状态,表示“想不通,不知道”。
B: Well, let me give you two examples. One is "I fail to see why you feel it so amusing" and the other is "That’s how it my day and I fail to see why it should be different now ".
A: Wow, let me show you one! I'd like to say that we always see eye to eye on the important things. 其中的see eye to eye是“意见一致”的意思。这个短语还是很好理解的,我们可以理解成“看对眼”,之后引申为了“意见一致”。
B: 对,我们对于重要的事情总是看法一致。我还想说你真是我的开心果!You are is the apple of my eye.
A: 说实话,我第一次看到这个短语特别好奇,眼睛和苹果扯上关系?之后深入了解一下,发现有些短语真不能从字面上理解!它真正的意思是“掌上明珠,挚爱”!Seeing you is a feast for the eyes.
B: feast是盛宴的意思,a feast for the eyes 从字面上可以理解为一场赏心悦目的盛宴,这时候我们可以来能想到一个成语,就是大饱眼福,怎么?我说,你是我的开心果,你说看到我大饱眼福啊!What we need to know is that the day of an eye for an eye is over.
A:对啊,以眼还眼的时代已经过去了,可在我这里,没过去!
B: 行吧!咱们继续英语学习。an eye for an eye这个短语的意思非常好理解,“给我一个眼睛,我换你一个眼睛”没错,这个短语就是“以眼还眼以牙还牙”。
A: We want to know, when the revenge, everyone don't learn the two of us. An eye for an eye is no good, a tooth for a tooth is no good. We are a loving family.
B: Yes, we are a collective, our 56 nations are one family. At all times, we must remember that we are one family.
A: 学习了这么多关于see 的小知识,不知道大家对see的了解是否又加深了一步,希望在学习see的同时,我们能记住这些或许对与很多单词,短语都适用。
B: 没错,一词多义是英语中的常态,而细心是我们不可或缺的品质。备考中的小伙伴们在努力学习的同时,也要注意一些小细节,时常记忆一些熟悉的单词不常用的意思啊!
A: Yeah, that’s all program. Thank you for your listening. Seeing you next week.
B: See you.
