迷你對(duì)話

A: Your course is hard for me.

你的課對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)很難。

B: Take it easy. Maybe there is not any other courseeasier than it. It is a cake course.

別緊張，或許沒(méi)有比這更簡(jiǎn)單的課了，這是一門(mén)很容易學(xué)的課程。

地道表達(dá)

a cake course

1. 解詞釋義

Cake course是指“很容易學(xué)的課程”。Cake不但有“蛋糕”的意思，也可以用來(lái)形容“某事很容易”。漢語(yǔ)中的“小菜一碟。”就是“It is a piece of cake.”

2. 拓展例句

e.g. I am not interested in math. So it is not a cake course for me.

我對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)不感興趣，所以我覺(jué)得很難學(xué)。

e.g. I don’t think English is a cake course so that I always failed in the exams.

我覺(jué)得英語(yǔ)很難學(xué)，所以我考試總是不及格。

Ps 1：be hard for sb.的意思是“對(duì)于某人來(lái)說(shuō)很艱難”。例如：

It is hard for anyone to escape from the ravages of time. 任何人都很難逃避時(shí)間的摧殘。

It's hard for some older people to take all that noise. 一些老年人沒(méi)辦法忍受那些噪音。

Ps 2：take it easy的意思是“放松點(diǎn)，別緊張”。例如：

He was going to take it easy when he got back. 他回去以后，要過(guò)輕松的日子。

All a man got to do is to take it easy and he'll enjoy himself. 做人只要把心放開(kāi)些，就能過(guò)得快活。

Ps 3：any other的意思是“其他任何的”。例如：

Do you have any other symptoms? Any more than those you've described?你有沒(méi)有其它的癥狀?除了那些你已敘述過(guò)的?
