<p>美国习惯用语-第182讲:<span word="give">give</span> <span word="somebody">somebody</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="piece">piece</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="mind">mind</span></p><p>今天我们要讲的两个习惯用语都是由<span word="mind">mind</span>这个字为主的。<span word="Mind">Mind</span>就是指人的心，或者是一个人的想法或意见。现在我们来给大家讲解第一个习惯用语：<span word="to">to</span> <span word="give">give</span> <span word="somebody">somebody</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="piece">piece</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="mind">mind</span>. <span word="Piece">Piece</span>这个字实际上是一个量词，它有很多意思，但是在这里它的意思是"一片、或者是一部份"。因此，要是从字面上来解释，<span word="to">to</span> <span word="give">give</span> <span word="somebody">somebody</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="piece">piece</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="mind">mind</span>，也就是：某人把自己的一些想法告诉别人。要是没有学过这个习惯用语的话，你可能以为这种作法很慷慨；这个人很愿意给别人提出忠告。可是，<span word="to">to</span> <span word="give">give</span> <span word="somebody">somebody</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="piece">piece</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="mind">mind</span>， 它的确切意思刚好相反。<span word="To">To</span> <span word="give">give</span> <span word="somebody">somebody</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="piece">piece</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="mind">mind</span>的真正意思是带有指责的直言不讳，或者是很愤怒地把某人痛骂一顿。比如说，美国家庭中经常发生的矛盾是家长规定孩子晚上一定要在什么时间前回家，而孩子往往不遵守家长的规定。下面就是一个例子。爸爸妈妈要女儿在晚上十二点以前回家，可是，他们等到半夜两点还不见人影，他们又着急，又生气。这位爸爸就说：</p><p>例句-1: <span word="I">I</span>\'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="going">going</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="wait">wait</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="Mary">Mary</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="come">come</span> <span word="home">home</span> <span word="even">even</span> <span word="if">if</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="stay">stay</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="night">night</span>! <span word="And">And</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="comes">comes</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="door">door</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="am">am</span> <span word="going">going</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="give">give</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="piece">piece</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="mind">mind</span> <span word="she">she</span>\'<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="never">never</span> <span word="forget">forget</span>!</p><p>这位爸爸说："哪怕我一夜不睡觉，我今天也非要等到玛丽回来不可。当她走进门的时候，我要好好地教训她一顿，让她永远也忘不了。"</p>
