作者:Andy 盼子心切的包氏夫妇喜获麟儿,他们用尽心思,要为儿子取个出众的名字,最后决定叫他做“希罕”。 第【1】串:to rack one's brains绞尽脑汁 He had to rack his brains to solve that complicated problem. 希罕的童年很幸福,但他讨厌这个名字,后来长大成人、结婚生子、事业非常成功,还是讨厌他的名字。 第【2】串:to make great accomplishments取得成功 He has made great accomplishments in his science field. 最后年老卧病,垂危时他央求妻子道:“请你千万别把‘希罕’两字刻在墓牌上,就叫我包氏好了。” 第【3】串:to be confined to bed卧病在床 His grandfather is confined to bed because of his two fractured legs. 他死后,妻子按照他的遗愿没有把他的名字刻在碑上,可是只刻“包氏”二字好象过于简单,她想让人知道他是个多么好的丈夫,于是在“包氏”之下刻了两行小字:他结婚以后,从来未看过别的女人一眼。 第【4】串:last wish遗愿 His last wish was to see the return of HK to her motherland. 现在,不论谁经过他的墓前,都会说一声:“稀罕”! 第【5】串:a rare person少见的人,稀罕之人 Tom is such a rare person that he never talks with his parents! 本栏目是由世博英语(360abc.com)Andy原创编写!学习中国口语,传播中国文化!世博英语版权所有,未经书面授权,请勿转载! |
