今天我们来积累一个欧美人常见的口语表达 Under the weather: feeling comfortable physically
第一次听到这个词的时候是在跟老外一起做节目的时候,当时有位嘉宾由于生病了未能出席。主持人在提及到这位没有出席的常客嘉宾的时候用的就是 Ryan is not here with us. He is a little bit under the weather today. Ryan今天不能够和我们一起做这期节目了,因为他今天身体感觉有点不舒服。
同理,那么运用到日常口语或者雅思口语等应试性的口语交流的时候,我们依然能这样回答。
比如, what do you usually do during the weekends?
Well, I sometimes hang out with my friends in the city center with my besties to enhance our friendship, but if I am a little bit under the weather, probably I’ll just stay at home and watch some TV series like the Games of Throne to loosen up.
回顾一下地道表达:up to snuff
好的,今天咱们就只记忆这么一个表达,希望各位烤鸭能够多多使用到生活中。
