4月12日-4月18日期间,听写酷开展了【听写送网校优惠券】的活动。活动期间有好多童鞋来参加呢,大家还在听写下方的讨论区中留言好不热闹哟~!

活动于昨天截止,在最后奖项还没出来之前,小编先将过去7天中我们一起听写的句子整理出来,看看在过去7天的短句听写中,我们都学到了些啥吧!

4月12日音频:

原文内容:The most famous place to see plays in the USA is called Broadway, in New York City. In the UK, people go to the West End in London.

小编解释:伦敦西区是与纽约百老汇齐名的世界两大戏剧中心之一,是表演艺术的国际舞台,也是英国戏剧界的代名词。相较之下,伦敦东区(East End)曾是一个拥挤的贫民区(slum area)。街道狭窄、房屋稠密,多为十九世纪中期建筑。

4月13日音频:

原文内容:"Beggars can't be choosers" means that if you are asking someone to give you something, you don't get to choose what they give you.

小编解释:其实这句话就是类似于中文说的“要饭的就别挑肥拣瘦”的感觉差不多。有的时候能给自己敲响警钟,生活中只有强者才会胜利。

4月14日音频:

原文内容:"Off the cuff" also means without preparation or planning, but is more often used to refer to a performance, such as a speech or a song.

小编解释:这个短语指的就是“即兴”的意思。cuff是指“袖口”,这个俚语起源于过去一些演讲者没有事先准备好演讲稿,只能临阵磨枪,把演讲的一些要点写在衬衣袖口上,由此而来。

4月15日音频:

原文内容:When a band is on tour, it travels and performs in many different places so that local fans can come to the shows.

小编解释:“on tour”表示“巡回中”的意思。比如说:He is in the United States on a speaking tour.(他正在美国作巡回演讲。)

4月16日音频:

原文内容:Like a house, a pub is a very comfortable place, where you can spend an evening chatting with friends or an afternoon by yourself.

小编解释:这里涉及到的一个语法点是定语从句。“where you can spend an evening chatting with friends or an afternoon by yourself”整个修饰“pub”,“where”作为引导词。

4月17日音频:

原文内容:And if someone says “you're a good catch”, he means that you will be a great boyfriend or girlfriend for someone.

小编解释:“a good catch”一说究竟是从哪里来的小编偶也无法确切说明。大家如果想要记忆的话,可以这样想象:天上掉下来好多个球,“捡到”一个最好的,就是“a good catch”啦!

4月18日音频:

原文内容:One of the earliest artists to create modern art was Vincent van Gogh, a troubled man who cut his own ear off and later ended his own life.

小编解释:“end one's life”的意思就是“自杀”。常用的说法还有commit suicide、kill oneself等。

回顾下来,即使是短小精悍的句子,坚持听写的话是不是也能收获不少捏~在这个基础上,大家还可以继续挑战篇幅更长更难的文章哟。戳我去看看今天听写酷有啥好内容吧>>
