用英語學英語口語訓練:“夜貓子”是night owl嗎?
從用英語學英語口語訓練的角度:“夜貓子”是night owl嗎?
是,也不是。
1) 從說單詞角度,“夜貓子”的英語單詞是:night owl(night-'ol(d)-l)
2) 從拓展英語口語能力訓練看,“夜貓子”就不單單是英語單詞“night owl”
我們一起來用night owl做口語訓練:
1. Well, a night owl is also called an evening person
(夜貓子是evening person就是你沒想到的說法了,比說nightowl好記)
“夜貓子”night owl還有其它說法:
2. Well a night owl has many other names,such as an evening person.
Yoy can call a night owl a nightclubber, or a pub crawler,or a night rider,or a nightwalker and so on.
在英語學習過程中,怎樣讓自己能夠做到表達時“忘詞”,“不忘義”的用英語把忘的詞義表達,這體現了一個人的英語語言能力大小。
我們不用night owl等單詞,把night owl用英語表達出來(看看我們又把哪些學過的英語用起來):
3. What is night owl?
When you call yourself a night owl, you mean you are a person who tends to stay up until late at night.
(To stay up until late at night就是night owl)
When you call yourself a night owl, you mean you are a person who is active late at night
When you call yourself a night owl, you mean you are a person who keeps late hours at night
A night owl的反義詞是 an early bird, or a morning person(who sleeps early at night and gets up early in the morning)
