情景模式:
1. 情景:西方人非常崇拜上帝,經(jīng)常會說“愿主保佑......”,這句話就這么說:
God help sb. (+clause).
源于臺詞:Robert: God help the poor devils belowdecks.
2. 情景:自己的親人去世,無疑是悲痛,但是死是無法避免的,我們會對逝去的親人祝福在天堂中過著比生還時更幸福的生活。我們這樣表述:
On one’s way to a better life.
源于臺詞:Robert: On their way to a better life.
3. 情景:我們生活的世界中,沒有絕對性的東西。倘若有人以絕對論來說這個世界的事物,你可以用劇中Robert的經(jīng)典話語駁斥:
Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it.So every ship is unsinkable untilit sinks.
源于臺詞:Robert: Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it.So every ship isunsinkable until it sinks.
4. 情景:有人求助于你幫忙,你可以幫得到,但是可不要打包票,即使能百分之百的能幫得了,也給自己留點(diǎn)余地,不妨套用下面的這個句型:
I am afraid (that)+clause.
源于臺詞:Carson: I'm afraid we'll know some people on it.
