聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 1040 FIFTH?WHEEL

 
2--A car has four wheels.
 
1--But what has five wheels? FIFTH WHEEL
 
2--Let's listen to Jonathan and Anna talk about being a fifth wheel.
 
1--Hey! Got any weekend plans?
 
2--Well, I'm going out to dinner with two couples.
 
1--You know what that means.
 
2--Ouch! You are going to be the fifth wheel.
 
1--I know, but luckily the couples are really cool. So I won't feel too left out.
 
2--A car does not need a fifth wheel.
 
1--If someone is a fifth wheel, they may feel like an unimportant part of a group, usually a group of couples.
 
2--They may feel, as Anna says, 'left out.'

譯文：

1--自行車(chē)通常有兩只輪子。
2--汽車(chē)通常有四只輪子。
1--但是什么有五只輪子嗎？FIFTH WHEEL
2--我們聽(tīng)一聽(tīng)Jonathan和Anna的對(duì)話，聽(tīng)他們是怎么描述第五只輪子的。
1--嗨！周末有什么計(jì)劃嗎？
2--嗯，我要和兩對(duì)夫婦一起吃晚餐。
1--你知道這是什么意思吧。
2--哎呦！你是多余的啊。
1--我知道啊，不過(guò)幸運(yùn)的是他們都很有意思。我不會(huì)感覺(jué)被忽視的。
2--一輛車(chē)通常不需要第五只輪子。
1--如果稱一個(gè)人是第五只輪子的話，他們會(huì)覺(jué)得是一個(gè)團(tuán)體里不受重視的一部分，通常是在夫妻檔的團(tuán)體中。
2--他們會(huì)像Anna說(shuō)的那樣，有種被忽視的感覺(jué)。
