英語早間課堂:話說地道美語 Lesson 16(2)
首先，let's warm up。我們還是先來熱熱身。在第16課的第一講中我們學(xué)了一個(gè)與“change something old and make it take on an entirely new look”同義的非常形象一個(gè)地道說法：put a new face on something。譯為：使......改觀，使......面目一新(煥然一新，煥然如新，燦然一新，耳目一新，氣象一新)，改變......的面貌。
【課堂詳說】
Apart from it, put a new face on has another meaning. So , what's it? 想知道嗎?那么請(qǐng)走進(jìn)第16課第二講的學(xué)習(xí)。Lesson Sixteen How to say "煥然一新" in real American English? (Lecture 2)All my dear listeners, listen to my sentence: Put a new face on and enjoy the opera as I do. Put a new face on and enjoy the opera as I do. Listen again! Put / a new face / on / and / enjoy the opera / as / I do. Well , what does it mean? 它的意思是：像我一樣去欣賞歌劇，換換心情。
In the above sentence, "put a new face on" means "change one of your moods"。那么，put a new face on在今天的這個(gè)句子中的意思是：轉(zhuǎn)換心情。Next , let's look at more example sentences in some certain situations to be familiar with it in order to use it with ease. 下面我們就來看些例句來熟悉put a new face on作為“轉(zhuǎn)換心情”的意思。
如果您是女性朋友的話，當(dāng)您心情不好的時(shí)候，您改如何去put a new face on? 那么Juliet在此提供給您幾個(gè)妙方，you might as well give it a shot when you are in ill humour。
1. Let's put a new face on , hanging out for shopping. 我們?nèi)チ锪锝?，?gòu)購(gòu)物，換換心情。
那么在您心情不好的時(shí)候，不妨畫個(gè)淡妝，挎?zhèn)€時(shí)尚包，邀上幾個(gè)好友溜溜街，購(gòu)購(gòu)物，這確實(shí)可以改變您不好的心情。據(jù)報(bào)道，79 percent of women say they will splurge to cheer themselves up. 79%的受訪女性表示，她們將瘋狂購(gòu)物以便換個(gè)好心情。Sometimes , so do I. 其實(shí)，有時(shí)候，我也如此，花些錢買個(gè)好心情也值了。
2. Don't complain about it any more. It's no use crying over spilled milk. Just go to a beauty salon and put a new face on. 不要再怨天尤人了。這是覆水難收，會(huì)而無補(bǔ)呀。去美容院做個(gè)美容，換個(gè)心情吧。
那么，在您心情不好的時(shí)候，去美容也是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的方法。因?yàn)樵诿廊葸^程中，您會(huì)fancying for perennial youth，您腦海中全然是美麗的面孔。如果配合美容師，加上呼吸的配合，您的不好的情緒會(huì)得以緩解。
注解：complain about 抱怨，埋怨 cry over spilled milk 做徒勞無益的后悔 go to a beauty salon 做美容3. Have a far in hairdo at a barber. Then, come to have a white night with us , singing and dancing and it would be sure to put a new face on you. 去理發(fā)店做個(gè)時(shí)尚發(fā)型，然后今天和我們狂歡一夜，換個(gè)心情。
注解：In在這句話中是副詞，意思是時(shí)尚的，時(shí)髦的，相當(dāng)于be fashionable。它的反義詞就是out，過時(shí)的。eg. Slangs are often in and out quickly.俚語常常很快地流行，又很快地過時(shí)。Far也是副詞，意思是很，相當(dāng)于very much，修飾in，這里是副詞修飾副詞。此外，掌握三個(gè)短語：have a hairdo 做個(gè)發(fā)型 at a barber 在理發(fā)店 have a white night 度過一個(gè)不眠之夜Well , just some new clothes, some new hairstyle, new perm, new makeup ... Everything would make you feel different right away, just do it! These are not expensive.只要一些新衣服，燙個(gè)新發(fā)型、弄個(gè)新裝扮，任何能讓你改變心情的事，就立刻去做，這些都不貴。在10多年前，我就在報(bào)刊上就看到西方人流行一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)：“要工作，更要一份好的心情。”Yes, I go along with it. Many a pickle makes a buckle. If you keep yourself depressed for a long time, you will catch mental illness. And then you can do nothing. 那么，為了您的心理健康，不要吝惜錢包里的錢，消費(fèi)一下買個(gè)好心情。
好，剛才我們通過一個(gè)話題學(xué)習(xí)了一些例句，下面我們就來看看put a new face on作為“轉(zhuǎn)換心情”的用法。Put a new face on作為“轉(zhuǎn)換心情”解時(shí)，那么put a new face on中介詞on后面就可以跟表示人的名詞或者是代詞，即：put a new face on somebody, 但是它們通常省略。
