很多问题都不是非黑即白的,也就是说我们往往不能明确地下定结论,但有一点是清楚的,那就是美国人喜欢在日常对话中使用各种颜色来表达想法和情感。
您在同美国人交谈时,可能很快就会听到他们使用以下这些和颜色有关的习语。
Red tape,意指繁文缛节
含义:一个错综复杂的官僚机构里的繁文缛节。
例句:“When my father was rushed to the hospital, the head nurse cut through all the red tape so that he could get to see a doctor immediately.”(当我父亲被紧急送到医院抢救时,护士长简化了所有繁琐程序,让他能马上接受医生检查。)
See red,意指火冒三丈
含义:生气、发怒。
例句: “My mother sees red when I come home late.”(如果我回家太晚,我妈妈就会火冒三丈。)
Out of the blue,意指出乎意料
含义:出其不意、出乎意料。
例句:“We were walking down the street when from out of the blue an old classmate we hadn’t seen for years appeared.”(我们正走在街上,突然冒出了一个多年不见的老同学。)
Once in a blue moon,意指千载难逢
含义:百年不遇、千载难逢。
例句:“Jean’s parents encouraged her to accept the job with the prestigious company in New York. They told her that a job offer like that comes along only once in a blue moon.”(吉恩的父母鼓励她接受纽约那家知名公司的聘用。他们对她说,这样的工作机会千载难逢)。
Tickled pink,意指非常高兴
含义:非常高兴、非常开心。
例句:“My niece got her first job today. She’s so pleased with herself. She’s tickled pink.”(我侄女找到了她的第一份工作。她为自己感到高兴,开心极了。)
In the red,意指赤字
含义:亏损,不盈利。
例句:“Some years my business makes a profit, but other years I’m in the red.”(我的生意在一些年份能够盈利,在其他年份则出现亏损。)
今年一笔涉及金融、粮食安全、企业文化和环境保护这些主题。E-C部分俚语较多,生僻词也偏多,考察长难句转换,抽象名词的处理,段落数量和往年类似,整体在一笔考试中难度还是算比较大的,可能需要大量翻字典。C-E相比之下要温和很多,约400字篇幅。审校部分:E-C相对较易识别(个人感觉),C-E部分有些草木皆兵。以下是试题大概,仅供参考。
