37:turn a blind eye
今天要学的词组是turn a blind eye。A blind eye就是一只瞎了的眼睛。Turn a blind eye就是只当没看见。英国保守党领袖卡梅伦说,英国不能对盟国的过度行为置若罔闻, Britain must not "turn a blind eye to the excesses of our allies...."
有的人看到坏事也只当没看见。Some people tend to turn a blind eye to other's bad behavior。一个人明明看见小偷在偷东西都不敢啃声。That man saw the thief stealing, but he turned a blind eye。我可以保证,要是谁偷他的东西,他就会大声喊叫,he would not simply turn a blind eye。今天学的词组是turn a blind eye...
38:big bucks
今天我们要学的词组是big bucks。Big bucks意思是很多很多的钱。比如:"Delta, UPS pay big bucks to sponsor NY Fashion Week." 按说,Delta, UPS一个是航空公司,一个是邮递公司,怎么会和时装有关系呢,不过它们财大气粗,所以才一掷千金,为纽约时装周提供赞助。
美式足球明星和电影明星都能挣大钱,NFL players and movie stars make big bucks. (Show me the money! Show me the money!)
哎呀,这个世界真是不公平。那我什么才能发财呢?When can I make some big bucks? I guess when I win the lottery! 好了,好了,不要作梦了。不过,大家可要千万记得这个词big bucks...
39:cast ballot
今天要学的词组是cast ballot。Cast ballot就是投票。美国是多种族的国家,有的政客以为 "voters can be counted on to cast ballots along racial lines" -- 他们以为选民们肯定会按照种族的界限来投票。结果呢?一位白种候选人在黑人占多数的首都华盛顿获得大胜。
每个选民都应该去投票站投票。"Every voter should go to the polling station to cast a ballot," 因为这是每个公民的民主权利。可是,首都附近马里兰州有些投票站出了故障,"a lot of voters were not able to cast their ballots," 许多选民无法投票。有关人员决心要保证 "voters could cast their ballots without a hitch in November," 选民在十一月投票时不会有问题。今天学的词组是cast ballot...
