來自www.touchoxford.com的一條報道,標題Madonna’s English Roses
She’s been a global superstar for over fifteen years, she sings. She dances.
And now Madonna has written children’s books – five of them all together. The
first, The English Roses hit the shops in more than 100 countries yesterday
morning.
“昨天上午《英國玫瑰》在一百多個國家的書店上櫃出售。”這裡的hit不是“擊、打”的
意思,而是reach, “到達”的意思。另外hit也是“受歡迎的事物,成功”的意思,如
That song was a hit last year. “那首歌是去年風行一時的歌曲。”所以這裡使用hit
這個詞還含有“成功登陸一百多個國家的書店”的意味。
four 11-year-old little London girls, Nicole, Amy, Charlotte and Grace, are
envious of a beautiful neighborhood girl named Binah.
Nicole, Amy, Charlotte and GraceNicole四個女孩對另一個鄰家女孩Binah非常嫉妒。
"As a child, I experienced jealousy and envy toward other girls for any number
of reasons: I was jealous they had mothers, jealous they were prettier and
richer," she said. "It isn't until you grow up that you realize what a waste of
time those feelings are."
小時候,我也經歷過對其他女孩的嫉妒和羨慕。嫉妒她們有媽媽,嫉妒她們更漂亮、更富
有,直到長大後才明白那是多麼浪費時間。jealousy和envy都是名詞,“嫉妒”的意思。
她們對應的形容詞分別是jealous和envious。
