“改天约会”怎么说-英语点津
<p>当你和别人越好做一件事情，但是后来又想取消，该怎么说呢？<span word="Scratch">Scratch</span> 这个词可以帮你的忙。</p><p><span word="Scratch">Scratch</span> 在词典里的解释是"用指甲或是爪子去'刮'；涂鸦、随手乱画"。在口语上，<span word="scratch">scratch</span> <span word="something">something</span> 便衍生为"取消"或"删除"原来的计划。再说得简单一些，<span word="scratch">scratch</span>这个用法跟我们常讲的 <span word="forget">forget</span> 这个词十分类似。例如本来约好明天要去看电影，但你临时想取消，这时你可以说，"<span word="Let">Let</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="forget">forget</span> <span word="it">it</span>." 或是换句话说 "<span word="Let">Let</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="scratch">scratch</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="plan">plan</span>."</p><p>再说个实际的例子，有一回我跟一个老美约吃饭，我问他："<span word="Will">Will</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="available">available</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="Saturday">Saturday</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="Sunday">Sunday</span>?" 他回答我："<span word="Scratch">Scratch</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Saturday">Saturday</span> <span word="thing">thing</span>. <span word="I">I</span>'<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="available">available</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="Sunday">Sunday</span> <span word="evening">evening</span>. (星期六我不行，我只有星期天晚上可以。)" 这句话完全就等于 "<span word="Forget">Forget</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="Saturday">Saturday</span>. <span word="I">I</span>'<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="available">available</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="Sunday">Sunday</span> <span word="evening">evening</span>."</p>
