2019-06-24编辑: 长安来自: 环球教育整理

  今天要分享的是一首正能量的歌曲,called ‘Smile’,虽然life is so tough但我们也要理直气壮地smile。这首歌就像歌手的名字Vitamin C(原名Colleen Fitzpatrick) 充满活力。


  接下来,聊聊本季话题smile

  ●put on a smile on your face

  “面带微笑”

  “put on”有“穿上”的意思,比如put on my coat “穿上我的外套”,也可以说:wear my coat,所以“我经常面带微笑”也可以是:I usually wear a smile on my face.

  ●smile

  smile 既可以作名词,也可以作动词。

  作名词,比如 a friendly smile“友好的微笑”

  再比如 manage a smile “强颜欢笑”,也可以说 force a smile

  Although he felt exhausted, he still managed a smile in the end.

  虽然他很疲惫了,但最后还是勉强笑了一下

  作动词,比如smile at sb“对某人微笑”

  Tom smiles at her and greets her warmly.

  Tom对她微笑着,热情地跟她打招呼。

  再比如smile to oneself表示 开心地笑

  He read the message on his phone and smiled to himself.

  他读着那条消息,开心地笑了。

  ●there is no need to do sth

  “不必做某事”

  I think there is no need to manage a smile if you don’t want to.

  我觉得,如果你不想强颜欢笑,就不必强颜欢笑。

  口语中,我们也可以用there’s no need to do sth 表示“不要做某事”

  比如:There’s no need to shout in public!

  公共场合不要大声喊叫!

  ●screw sb up

  screw sb up【非正式】表示“使某人很不愉快”

  比如It screwed her up when her bestie betrayed her and pretended to smile at her.

  她闺蜜背叛她还对她假笑,这使她非常难过。

  screw作名词有“螺丝钉”的意思,动词可以表示“用螺丝铆住”,那么“screw up the courage to do sth”就可以表示“铆足了勇气做某事”

  比如:Finally, I screwed up the courage to propose to her.

  终于,我鼓足了勇气去跟她求婚。

  ●dimple

  “酒窝”

  感觉 笑起来 有酒窝的脸庞(dimpled cheeks)都非常上镜,小编对于dimpled cheeks真是毫无抵抗力。

  “上镜的”可以说:photogenic

  比如题库里“Do you smile when people take pictures of you?”

  就可说:Sure. when I smile in a picture, my dimpled cheeks make me look more photogenic.

  最后,希望大家天天开心,Put on a smile on your face. Make the world a better place.发音都在歌里啦~
