A: 在拉斯维加斯玩得好吗? B: 我们整晚看表演、赌博,开心极了。真不想回去。相比之下堪萨斯市就显得沉闷乏味了。 【迷你小对话2】 A: I’ve been waiting all my life to study with Dr. Newton. B: Well, you’re going to be disappointed to find that although his books are interesting, his lectures are quite tedious. He talks in a monotone, repeats himself, and usually ends class a half-hour late. A: 一直以来我都很想听Newton博士的课。 B: 那你会失望的。他写的书挺有意思,可他的课却又臭又长。他说话的声音单调,爱重复,还常推迟半小时下课。 【语言点精讲】 tame: 平淡的;枯燥乏味的;不紧不慢的。 tedious: 单调乏味的;令人生厌的;罗嗦的。 |
