美语活起来（1）-英语点津
<p>美语活起来 1. <span word="How">How</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="pages">pages</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="end">end</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="with">with</span>?</p><p>你的(报告)最后有几页?</p><p>依照大多数人的习惯，"你的报告最后有几页"这句话通常会把它 所以 <span word="End">End</span> <span word="up">up</span> 也有"最后有什么样的结果"的意思，再举个 <span word="Friends">Friends</span> 里面的例子，有一次 <span word="Monica">Monica</span> 问 <span word="Rachel">Rachel</span> 和牙医师约会的结果怎样? 她的回答就是："<span word="We">We</span> <span word="ended">ended</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="having">having</span> <span word="sex">sex</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="chair">chair</span>." <span word="Monica">Monica</span> 听了之后差点没昏倒。我想大家不难从这几个例子当中发现，在许多地方用 <span word="end">end</span> <span word="up">up</span> 会比 <span word="finally">finally</span> 来得更为恰当。</p><p>2. <span word="That">That</span> <span word="project">project</span> <span word="turned">turned</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="big">big</span> <span word="flop">flop</span>.</p><p>那个计划变成一个大失败。</p><p>讲到"变成……"这个动词，<span word="become">become</span> 会是许多人唯一能想到的英文 另外老师上课时在讲到数学运算时也常说 <span word="turn">turn</span> <span word="out">out</span>，例如最常见的："<span word="If">If</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="multiply">multiply</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="first">first</span> <span word="equation">equation</span> <span word="by">by</span> 2, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="equations">equations</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="turn">turn</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="exactly">exactly</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span>. (如果你把第一个式子乘以 2，这两个式子就会完全一样。)"</p>
