老外說"You do the math"才不是“讓你做數(shù)學題”！

如果有老外對你說"You do the math"，你找了半天也沒找到讓你做啥數(shù)學題，結果一臉懵，這是啥意思啊?

其實"You do the math"真正的意思是“你自己算算”。當然，這種情況會出現(xiàn)在和數(shù)學相關的數(shù)字的計算。

比如，

Well, let's just do the math to see if you have enough in your savings account to afford a new car.

好吧，我們來算算看你的儲蓄賬戶里是否有足夠的錢買一輛新車。

但其實也非?？赡苁亲屇阍谀臣虑樯虾煤美斫庖恍?，要全面了解，斟酌過后才可做決定，也就是我們常理解的“考慮一下，盤算一下，權衡下利弊”。

例句：

They convinced you to give them a lump sum as an "investment," and now they've cleared out of town. You do the math.

他們說服你一次性給他們一筆投資，現(xiàn)在他們又已離開小鎮(zhèn)。你自己盤算盤算是咋回事吧。

Today we re going to talk about some basic math vocabulary. This vocabulary is very simple but can come in handy if you re going to study abroad or if you just want to learn more English.

今天我們將討論一些基本的數(shù)學詞匯。這個詞匯非常簡單，但是如果你要出國留學或者你想學更多的英語，它可以派上大用場。

The first set of words were going to talk about are operations.

我們要講的第一組詞是operations運算。

The most common operations are addition, subtraction,

multiplication and division, and those are what we ll talk about today.

最常見的運算是加、減、乘、除，這些就是我們今天要討論的。

Addition is when you add two numbers together. This is called a plus sign. So for example, 4 plus 5 equals 9 or if I have 4 and add 5 I get 9.

加法就是兩個數(shù)相加。這叫做加號。例如，4 + 5 = 9，或者說我有4，再加5，得到9。

Subtraction is when you subtract one number from another number. This is called a minus sign. So for example 6 minus 4 equals 2 or if I have 6 and take away 4 I get 2.

減法就是用一個數(shù)減去另一個數(shù)。這叫做減號。例如，6 - 4 = 2，如果我有6，拿走4，得到2。

Multiplication is when you multiply one number by another number. For example 4 times 3 equals 12 or

if I multiply 4 by 3 I get 12.

乘法就是用一個數(shù)乘以另一個數(shù)。例如，4乘以3等于12，或者4乘以3得到12。

Division is when you divide one number by another

number. For example 12 divided by 2 equals 6 or if I divide 12 by 2 I get 6.

除法就是用一個數(shù)除以另一個數(shù)。例如，12除以2等于6，或者12除以2得到6。

Hopefully this has helped you it s very basic English but teachers don t talk about this vocabulary very often. Thank you for watching.

希望這對你有幫助，這是非?；A的英語，但是老師不會經(jīng)常談論這個詞匯，謝謝。

以上就是今天的內(nèi)容啦~
