昂立外语【新概念培训】分享show,show这个名字在新概念的学习中一定不陌生,可是这个词还有着你完全想不到的意思,你知道吗?
今天我们来看看show的有趣用法。
Show作为我们平时的极其常用词之一,在我们的新三课本当中当然也是频频露面。
Lesson24 A skeleton in the cupboard
George showed me to the guestroom which, he said, was rarely used.
作为动词,show基本用法之一即为show sb. around; show sth. to sb.,即出示,展示。
Lesson53 In the public interest
There was nothing in the record to show that the foreigner's complaint was justified and the Chief of Police stoutly denied the accusation.
这里当然是show作为动词的又一基本意思啦,意为标明。
Lesson44 Speed and comfort
The real escapist can watch a free film show and sip champagne on some services.
这里show当名词,意为演出。Show作为名词还有音译过来的“秀”以及展出等等意思,不过都大同小异。而作为名词,其实也都基本离不开其本质的显示,标明展示,出示等等意思。所以在这里我们就不一一列举了。
我们来讲一讲show的短语意思吧!
1. Show off
Rose was showing off her engagement ring. 露丝那时正在炫耀她的订婚戒指。
Show off的意思为炫耀,相信大家并不陌生,看rose那小表情就能知道show off的意思啦!
2. Show sb. the door
应该能联想到中文的一个短语吧?——下逐客令。对,所以这个短语很是形象对吗?
3. Show sb. who’s boss
相信这个短语对于蛋蛋后的你们会很实用哦!
My 6-year little nephew came to my home and played last weekend. He was actually turning the house into a mess and he even broke my model plane. In the end, I couldn’t stand it anymore. So I yelled at him and showed him who’s boss.
下面当你用这个短语的时候,是不是也会觉得威风凛凛呢?
4. Make a show of oneself这当中的show也可以换成exhibition或者scene.
—You know what? Steven stepped on a banana skin and fell down like a turned turtle.
—Oh, really?! He did make a show of himself. Everybody must have been laughing at him!
—Exactly!
根据show作名词的意思以及这个场景,你应该猜到了make a show of oneself是当众出丑,出洋相的意思了吧?哈哈!
