后者是客观一些,可是在表达强列的情感时FOREVER更能达意吧?比如VITAIMIN C的歌曲里“We remember

Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever”
① 真遗憾 ② it's a pity ③ that's too bad/it's a shame(it's a pity说法太老)
IT IS A PITY,是从学校里学来的,印象很深,也常用,只是不知何时过时了:)有个问题:如何知道一个词是否过时呢?有标准吗?
① 裤子 ② trousers ③ pants/slacks/jeans
PANTS在英式英语里有着和美语里不同的意思, 这里是不是有些以偏盖全?
① 好吃 ② delicious ③ good/nice/tasty/appetizing(delicious在中国被滥用)
词汇贫乏时就容易滥用了,学习^_^!
① 尽我最大努力 ② try my best ③ try/strive(try的本意就是try my best)
Try my best是不是程度更强一些?存在即合理,这个词组不是CHINA-MADE吧?
① 怎么拼? ② how to spell? ③ how do you spell?
What’s wrong? I can’t get it.
① 面条 ② noodles ③ pasta(noodles有些孩子气)
Pasta refers to Italian noodles, different from Chinese ones. I am right?
① 据说 ② it is said ③ I heard/I read/I was told
In my opinion, the former is objective without definite person involved and the latter is with more details.
① 等等 ② and so on ③ etc.
What’s the difference between them? Confused.
① 农民 ② peasant ③ farmer
If it refers to the “农民” in the old times, peasant may be more accurate.
① 宣传 ② propaganda ③ information
I am always confused at the translation of “宣传”. It is said “propaganda” has negative indication, but information is at large. Who would be kind enough to help me out? Thanks very much.
①厕所 ② WC ③ men's room/women's room/restroom
WC (water closet) is a British term.
①真遗憾 ② it's a pity ③ that's too bad/it's a shame(it's a pity说法太老)
Pity is very British.
①裤子 ② trousers ③ pants/slacks/jeans
Trousers is more British and pants is more American. 一位美国妇女在英国吃饭时不小心把水倒洒在裤子上后大叫:“My pants are all wet!”,引起英国人大笑。原来在英国 pants 指底裤。
①应该 ② should ③ must/shall
Should/must/shall have different meanings:
You should go 你应该去
You must go 你必须去 (中性语气)
You shall go 你必须去 (强制性语气)
Shall we start? 我们开始吧 (比如主人请客人吃饭)
Shall 在法律文件理又是必需的意思 - Party A shall provide Party B with ...
① 尽我最大努力 ② try my best ③ try/strive(try的本意就是try my best)
Try 与 try my best 有量的差别
①面条 ② noodles ③ pasta(noodles有些孩子气)
noodles 没错。英文也有chicken noodle soup, 但是没有chicken pasta soup.
①等等 ② and so on ③ etc.
and so on 比较口语化,etc. 在文章里多见。
①直到现在 ② till now ③ recently/lately/thus far
till now and thus far have the same meaning, they are very different from recently/lately
①农民 ② peasant ③ farmer
中国的农民基本上还是属于peasant
