李华前阵子伤到左手,最近刚刚康复。今天Larry到医院来看李华。李华会学到两个常用语:back on your feet和B.O.。 LL: Li Hua, are you feeling better now? LH: 你看,我现在都能搬东西了呢! LL: Whoa, be careful! But hey, it looks like you're back on your feet again! LH: Back on my feet? 我脚没有受伤啦,只有手而已。 LL: No, that's not what I meant. To be back on your feet is a general saying referring to a person who has recovered or healed from an illness. LH: 啊,你说I am back on my feet是指我手臂养好了,恢复了,是吗? LL: Yes. I understand why you would think I was talking about your feet, though. A sick person is usually in bed all day. Therefore, when we say that a person is back on their feet, that means they can get off the sick bed and walk around feeling healthy. LH: 喔。原来to be back on your feet是说一个病人已经不用再整天躺在病床上,可以自由走动的意思。 LL: That's right. Can you give me an example? LH: 好啊。Larry, I really hope you get back on your feet soon. LL: You...you hope that I will get well soon? But I'm not even sick... LH: 可是你脸色好差喔。 |
