從 1 月 22 日開始,我就開始寒假班的征程了俊犯。從早上到晚,勢必是沒有時(shí)間寫原創(chuàng)文了伤哺。但是燕侠,學(xué)習(xí)還是不能停止的。年前年后我共有 12 天課立莉,每天我會(huì)分享 5 個(gè) idioms & phrases (習(xí)語和短語)绢彤。也就是說,如果你跟著我的節(jié)奏每天定量去學(xué)習(xí)桃序,那么一個(gè)寒假你至少能掌握 60 個(gè)有意思的習(xí)語和短語杖虾。當(dāng)然,你可能會(huì)問“為什么要學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)語和短語媒熊?”,這事兒我說了不算坟比,在這里引用一段文字希望能讓你感受到習(xí)語的用處——
Idiom: a manner of speaking that is natural to native speakers of a language
Every language has its own collection of wise sayings. They offer advice about how to live and also transfer some underlying ideas, principles and values of a given culture / society. These sayings are called "idioms" - or proverbs if they are longer. These combinations of words have (rarely complete sentences) a "figurative meaning" meaning, they basically work with "pictures".
如果你被這番話說服了芦鳍,那么就行動(dòng)起來吧。每個(gè)短語都會(huì)配上簡單的英文注釋和例句葛账,相信對大家的理解會(huì)有幫助的 _
