每日一句英译英:He is a black sheep
我们学习英语,首先要训练的能力是:见到一句英语首先训练自己用英语问:What does it mean if you say He is a black sheep的英语“回答”能力,训练自己在“看”答案前:你自己可能会用到哪些学过的英语来表达的“英语思维”能力。长年英语学习都是在刺激这个习惯,它就会形成最终的“英语能力”。
一上来就问“中文是什么?”,我们能学到东西吗?
现在努力用英语想想,回答What does it mean if you say He is a black sheep,你会“用到”哪些英语?
1) 英语体验:Examples
1. He is the black sheep of his family,every family member will be glad to see him go forever.
2. He is a black sheep of our team:he made our project a failure=fail.
下面的英语有多少是让你一看:哦,原来是这些英语,Okay.I got you.
2) He is the black sheep英译英
1. Okay.I got you.If you say someone is the black sheep of your family or your group,or your team, you mean that they are considered bad or worthless by your members.They bring shame,they bring disgrace to you.
Okay.I got you.有你想到国没想到的英语表达吗?
2. So,He is the black sheep means He is bad,he is worthless in our group.He brings shame,he brings disgrace to our team.
首先训练用英语学英语,用英语思维,可能是我们首要任务,而不是英语“学来跟人说,跟人用”。
