新东方:《怪兽大学Monsters University》口语解析(3)

  吉林新东方国外考试部朱博老师讲解大热动画电影《怪物大学》中地道实用的口语表达,跟老师一起学起来吧~

  如果没看过《怪物公司》(Monsters, Inc.),还真的挺难理解里面怪兽的理想,尤其是那首校歌:“Monsters University, we give our heart to you. Wherever children are dreaming, we’ll bring them nightmares, too. Oh, Monsters University, Alma Mater hail to you.”(alma mater 母校)

  不过whatever啦,重点是学口语,let’s get started!

  大眼小怪兽自己组队了,结局大家都知道啦! Let’s take a look.

  run out

  Your luck will run out. 直译是“你的运气迟早会用光。”这里翻译成“老天也有打盹滴时候”也很生动哦!

  Run out,可以指某样东西被用完,比如:We are running out of time/gas.

  如果这个用来指合同之类的东西,那就是“过期了,不具备法律效力了”。比如:This agreement has run out.

  all over the place

  这个短语有两个意思,一个是字面意思—everywhere。比如:New restaurants are appearing all over the place. 第二个意思是“没有条理的,无章法的,乱七八糟的”。比如:Your calculations are all over the place. = Your calculations are completely wrong.

  We/ You earned this.

  这里面的earn用英英词典里的解释比较好:to get something that you deserve, usually because of something good you have done or because of the good qualities you have. 翻译成:这是我们/你应得的。在鼓励大家去享有某样东西的时候经常说。比如:She’s having a well-earned rest this week.
