今偶然看到:如果和闺蜜,好朋友睡一张床
你要说 :share the bed with her/him
不能说sleep with sb, go to bed with sb, 或in bed with sb,这些容易被老外理解为和某人同床共枕。所以顺便就查了下share的用法。
share主要是做名词及动词。
做名词时,有个表达我们日常中可以经常用到,go shares (with sb)(in sth)=share (profits,costs etc) equally with others. 所以下次如果你想和别人分摊计程车费你可以说Let me go shares with you in the taxi fare.
做动词时,我们比较了解share sth (with sb), 意思是have or use sth with sb,但它还有个意思have sth in common ,所以share sb’s belief, faith, optimism, etc指与某人有共同的信仰、信念、乐观的态度。拓展一个习语,事事均分share and share alike.
给到的例句:Don’t be so selfish-it’s share and share alike in this house.这个例句是放在动词那一段解说中最后最后作为习语出场的,但我觉得动词说不通,大家有啥高见没?
见英:
@吴爱芝 原来share 有 have something in common 的意思,学习了!之前有一次公司季度考的时候就考到这个词,觉得翻译成分享很奇怪,今天豁然开朗了
凝镜君:
嗯嗯,长见识
吴爱芝:
@见英 嗯啦,我也是今天才发现这个意思

a red-letter day
【解词】
a day of special significance
from the practice of marking holy days in red letters in church calendars
详细来源解释:
A red letter day (sometimes hyphenated as red-letter day or called scarlet day in academia) is any day of special significance or opportunity. Its roots are in classical antiquity; for instance, important days are indicated in red in a calendar dating from the Roman Republic (509–27 BC). In medieval manuscripts, initial capitals and highlighted words (known as rubrics) were written in red ink. The practice was continued after the invention of the printing press, including in Catholic liturgical books. Many calendars still indicate special dates and holidays in red instead of black. The practice did not originate, as it often assumed, from Medieval church calendarsor a requirement that important holy days be marked in red from First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, as has widely been claimed.
【例句】
If your name was mentioned in the newspaper, the day was a red-letter day.
只要你的名字出现在报纸上,这天就成了我的节日。
虽然明白了red-letter day是什么意思,但具体翻译或用中文表达的时候总会觉得有些怪怪的,比如上个例句中翻成“这天就成了我的节日”,或看到的“大日子”,“大喜日子”,“值得纪念的日子”,感觉好像都少了点什么。
李洪彬:
@柯迪 red-letter day愿意是“重要的日子”,“喜庆的日子”,具体在句子中翻译出来的意思应该还要考虑中文的表达习惯。例如你那句话,我觉得翻译为“如果你的名字出现在报纸上,那就是值得庆贺的日子”或者“如果你的名字出现在报纸上,那一天就有着特别的意义。”
柯迪:
嗯,感觉这样翻会自然很多

cast / throw doubt on sth使人怀疑某事物

【思考】怎么样让自己继续学习,太久没坚持,就会慢慢松懈下来,直到放弃了。所以选择了doubt继续,对自己说,不要总是怀疑做某件事情可能对自己没有帮助,应该说坚持做下来,肯定会有所帮助和改变的。
李洪彬:
@柳珊 我之前做了近一年的单词笔记后,有一天在医院的时候,我突然明白了一个道理:单词的学习跟我们的人生实在太像了。每一个单词看着很平常,甚至我们还会给它们贴上高频词、低频词、生僻词等等的标签,但是当你仔细地去理解它,寻找它的来龙去脉、体会它的使用情景,其实每个单词都变得很鲜活。我们每天的生活也是类似,每天看似平平常常,其实平常与否是由我们去定义的。每一天其实就像每一个单词,其实都有故事,只是你愿不愿意去了解那个故事,去书写那个故事而已。
李洪彬:
其实大家都挺忙的,我已经很多天都是过2点才睡觉了。能在忙中坚持做这么一件小事其实已经挺值得点赞的
