　　對話精講

　　第一、地道表達

　　to jump right out of one’s skin

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Jump是“跳”的意思，to jump right out of one’s skin直接翻譯就是“從某人的皮膚里跳出來”。這當然不可能發(fā)生的事情。實際上，to jump right out of one’s skin就是指“被一個突然發(fā)生的事情或者是未預料的危險嚇了一大跳”。此外，這個短語也有可以表示“使某人驚喜”。對話中“I almost jumped right out of myskin.”的意思就是“我真是驚喜萬分”。

　　2 典型例句

　　e.g. He was doing something there with his back to me. At the sound of my voice he nearlyjumped out of his skin.

　　他正在做事，背朝著我。他聽到我聲音時簡直嚇得魂不附體。

　　e.g. I nearly jumped out of my skin when a hand grabbed me in the dark.

　　黑暗中有一只手把我抓住, 可真把我嚇了一大跳。

　　e.g. The sudden explosion made me jump out of my skin.

　　突然的爆炸聲把我嚇壞了。

　　e.g. I jumped out of my skin, when I receive message of employment.

　　當收到被錄用的信時，我欣喜若狂。

　　第二、 辭海拾貝

　　finish doing something：完成某事

　　e.g. As soon as he'd finished eating, he excused himself.

　　他一吃完就告辭離開了。

　　e.g. I did not finish doing my homework until my father came back at 10 o'clock.

　　我一直到我爸爸十點鐘回來才做完家庭作業(yè)。

　　put something back：放回原處

　　e.g. I put it back inside your drawer.

　　我把它放回你的抽屜里去了。

　　e.g. Put back the books on the shelves which you are not using.
