From today we'll be starting learning some short sentences from hit American films which are ways of telling people you'll listen to them. This morning I would like to share one which means" I want to know something.". It's said before asking for information. Let's get it from a simple situational dialogue.
A : So, tell me. What kind of work do you do?
B : I work as a teacher in a high school.
【答疑解惑】
It is "So, tell me.". Here so is similar to saying in Chinese:來(lái),來(lái)吧,那么,是啊,and so on. It's a conjunction which is used to introduce a comment or a question. So在此是個(gè)連詞用于引出一個(gè)問(wèn)題或者評(píng)論。For example: So, let's see. What do we need to take? 來(lái)吧,大家想想,我們需要帶些什么?So, what have you been doing today? 那么你今天都干了些什么?“So, tell me.”is like saying in Chinese:來(lái)吧,說(shuō)說(shuō)看;那么,說(shuō)話(huà)看;是啊,說(shuō)說(shuō)看,something like those above. We also can say it as :"So, tell me something." If we are eager to know some information, we could say it as "Do tell ." or "Do tell me something.". 如果我們急切地想知道那樣?xùn)|西,我們可以說(shuō):“Do tell.”。意思是:快給我說(shuō)說(shuō),快講呀。Do 在這里是助動(dòng)詞,起到加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣的作用。For example: Report has it that it's very interesting, do tell.據(jù)說(shuō)那非常有趣,快說(shuō)說(shuō)看。
