美語會(huì)話 259 you're not to blame不能怪你

Holly: You know, Taylor's been in the hospital for a couple of days.

Yi-jun: [Sad] And I'm the one who put him there with my football moves.

Holly: But you're not to blame for them keeping him there.

Yi-jun: Yeah, what was all that stuff about running tests about anyway?

Holly: I'm not sure, but we can find out. I bought some crosswords to keep him busy.

Yi-jun: Great, then let's go visit him. I want to give him some flowers, too, to say sorry.

football moves

足球動(dòng)作。move是指「動(dòng)作」，因?yàn)楦\(yùn)動(dòng)相關(guān)的動(dòng)作常是一連串的，所以大部分前面加運(yùn)動(dòng)名稱時(shí)，都會(huì)用復(fù)數(shù)型。而在上期里，怡君為了接球撞倒泰勒，造成他送醫(yī)急救，所以她才相當(dāng)自責(zé)

I'm practicing football moves all day Saturday.

我星期六整天都在練習(xí)足球動(dòng)作。

荷莉：你知道嗎，泰勒已經(jīng)住院好幾天了。

怡君：(難過)而我正是那位沒接好美式足球，害他住院的人。

荷莉：但那些人不讓他出院，可不能怪妳。

怡君：對(duì)呀，那堆有的沒的檢驗(yàn)是要干嘛用的?

荷莉：我也不太清楚，不過我們可以去搞清楚。我買了些填字游戲，讓他有事情忙。

怡君：不錯(cuò)喔，那我們?nèi)ヌ酵?。我也想送些花給他，跟他道歉
