第10课:无趣的 - 19

迷你小对话

A: What did you think of the movie?
B: At first I thought it was great. It started out really interesting, but it just dragged on and on, with no real purpose or meaning. I thought it would never end.

A: 你觉得这个电影怎么样?
B: 起初我觉得很好。影片开头挺有意思,可是后面变得越来越冗长乏味,不知道究竟要表达什么意思。我觉得它长得太离谱了。

语言点精讲

start out: 开始时。
drag on: 形容某事进展缓慢,令观众或参与者都感到厌倦。drag,拖,累赘,这个词用来形容某种缓慢的、令人疲惫地速度进展。
purpose: 意图。
meaning: 意义。
