  朋友们,大家好!这里是世博英语的Andy老师,欢迎您收听我们的第39期节目!Today, I went to meet one of my old friends and we had a nice meal at the Grand Hotel. Here are the two sentences I learned while we were eating.

  1. What's the daily special?今天有什么特色菜?

  Before you stepsintosthe restaurant, usually you can see there is a board in front of the restaurant. That is the board for Daily Special.今天我和朋友去饭馆吃饭,选了一个特色菜:宫爆鸡丁.Diced chicken with paprikas!这可是我非常喜欢的special. You should know that Andy had been in Sichuan for four years and during that time, I began to like the hot and spicy food. And this daily special is the typical dish in Sichuan.宫爆鸡丁在四川可是很受欢迎的!

  这里再简单给大家讲解一下special这个词!

  special作为形容词的意思是:特殊的,特别的;专门的;而事实上它也可以用做名词,意思是特别事物或者特价,那么这里当然就是指今天的特色菜了!

  好了,这句What's the daily special?今天有什么特色菜?可是非常有用,for usually it will save your money if you have the daily special!特色菜一般都很便宜。so when you cannot see a“daily special”board, please ask the boss: What is the daily special?

  2. I didn't sleep a wink last night.一晚上没合眼!

  吃饭的时候,I found that he was tired out, then I asked,“what did you do last night? why are you so sleepy?”.到底为什么会这么困倦呢?Well, I was busy with my final graduation paper and I didn't sleep a wink last night.由于赶着交论文,所以我昨天一夜没合眼!这说明他昨天晚上一定熬夜了!to burn the midnight oil!

  回顾一下这个句子,I didn't sleep a wink last night.其中的wink的意思是眨眼,所以如果说I didn't sleep a wink,那么就是连眨眼这么短的休息时间都没有!

  For me, I don't think that is a good idea to stay up or to burn the midnight oil!大家一定要注意身体,如果经常熬夜的话,你的身体会慢慢垮掉!最后送给大家一句祝福语:

  Hope you are wealthy, healthy and happy!
