  • short 怎么用?

    2008-04-14 10:48:44

    short 怎么用?

    两个以short这个字为主的习惯用语。In short order. In short order就是立即,马上的意思。许多美国孩子都不喜欢打扫房间。这也是父母经常训孩子的主题之一。下面这个例子里说话的爸爸倒是找到了一个办法,让他的儿子把房间立即打扫干净。他说:

    例句-1: For weeks I've been trying to get Jack to clean up his room. He finally did it in short order today after I told him he wouldn't get his allowance this week until he did.

    这位爸爸说:几个礼拜来,我一直催促杰克把自己的房间打扫干净。今天我告诉他,要是他不打扫的话,这个星期就不给他规定的零花钱。这样他总算没有再拖延,马上把房间打扫干净了。

    美国那些十几岁的孩子一般都有自己的房间。但是,这些孩子的房间往往都很乱,有的乱得床上,地上都是衣服,连走路的地方都没有。这可能是美国孩子的衣服、书籍和其他东西太多的原因。

    我们再来举一个例子。美国的各种机构,特别是学术机构,经常会就某个问题请一些这方面的著名人士来参加讨论会。下面这个例子里讲话的人正在跟他太太说他的准备工作。他说:

    例句2: I've gathered all the information I need for my speech at the seminar. I'll be able to have it written in short order. So, don't worry! In fact, there's plenty of time for me to get things ready.

    这人说:我在研讨会上发言所需要的材料都已经搜集好了。我马上就可以把发言稿写好。所以,你别担心。事实上,我还有很多时间为这次会议做好准备。

    美国的研讨会也有不同的方式。比较普遍的一种方式就是在一个主题上请几个发言的人。在开会的时候,他们坐在台上轮流发表自己的观点,然后坐在台下的听众就可以提出问题,和主讲的人进行交流。

     

     

    第二个习惯用语比较长,请大家注意听。To get the short end of the stick. End就是末端,stick就是一根棍子。To get the short end of the stick,作为俗语,它的意思就是:你在某一件事上吃了亏。我们来举一个例子就能说明这个习惯用语的真正含义。有一次,一个朋友工作的公司要举行新年联欢会,每人出五个美元买食品和饮料,大家还推举这位朋友负责为联欢会安排食品供应。联欢会结束后,他拖着疲乏的步伐回到家里对自己的太太说:

    例句3: I was so busy taking care of the food during the party. Everybody seemed to be enjoying. But by the time I tried to find something to eat, the only thing left was a handful of peanuts. I sure got the short end of the stick.

    这位朋友对太太说:在整个联欢会过程中,我为了安排食品而忙忙碌碌。每个人都似乎在尽情享受。可是等到我想吃点东西的时候,剩下的只有一把花生了。我可真是吃了亏啦。

    下面这个例子是一个人跟其他两个朋友合伙做生意。但是他最后损失了很多钱。你听了他讲的话就会知道是怎么回事了。他说:

    例句4: My two partners and I each put up one-third of the money to start our business. But I was the only one to lend the company more money. So when it went bankrupt, I was left with the short end of the stick.

    他说:我跟其他两个合伙者每人拿出三分之一的资金来开办我们的公司。但是,只有我一个人为公司提供了更多的贷款。所以,当这个公司破产的时候,我就吃了亏了。
