點滴英語天天學第26期:Tim想套磁沒成功(短語詳解6)

各位親愛的聽衆朋友，歡迎來到Juliet的《原味美語》課堂！Juliet將帶您體驗美國哈弗，美國紐約大學的口語課堂內容。

Tim是一遭被蛇咬，十年怕井繩啊！Once beaten, twice shy！他遭受挫折的心靈讓他畏懼再去和女生say hello。然而，Jack卻認爲是他嘴皮子功夫差，不會用clever pick-up lines去吸引女生。Tim心中卻另有想法：覺得那位女生是表面上play hard to get，而實際上是have a feeling for him的。最後，Jack說了一番話，讓Tim明白了爲何上回那個女生blow him off。Jack說了什麼話呢？我們就來聽聽：

Oh! No. There's Bonnie Margolin. A year ago, some mutual friends of ours fixed us up because they thought we would hit it off. Unfortunately, she was on the rebound, so I didn't want to get involved. I tired to let her down easy but she got furious and started screaming at me. Oh, no! She's coming. Run!

我們暫且不理Jack說了什麼，首先來學習4個原味表述：fix up，hit it off，on the rebound，let someone down easy。今天，我們來學習fix up。Fix up有很多不同的搭配結構，不同的搭配結構有着不同的意思。

文中要表示的意思是：To fix up meas to be provided with a date. 譯爲：爲某人安排約會。如果表示“安排某人與某人約會”，用fix sb. with sb.這個結構。如果要表示“被安排了與某人約會”，用get fixed for a date with sb. 或者get fixed on a date with sb. 。 我們來看下面的例句：

Sam got fixed up with Jane. Okay, Sam is fixed up with a date for Saturday. （安排了Sam和Martha約會。好的，Sam在週六有約會了。）

Ps：get fixed with be fixed with a date（有約會，有和.....的約會）

I haven't a date for over a year. Do you think you can fix me up with Lisa. （我已經一年多沒有約會了，你看能不能安排一下讓我和Lisa約會？）

Ps : have a date：約會 over a year：一年多 fix sb. with sb. ：安排某人和某人的約會

Last night, I was fixed up on a date with Jenny and it was great, we had a a great time. （昨晚，我和Jenny約會去了。太棒了，我們玩得很開心。）

Ps : be fixed up on a date with sb. :有與......的約會 have a great time：玩得非常開心

Fix sb. up with sb. 和get fixed up with sb是idiom，文中的“Some mutual friends of ours fixed us up.”這句話用標準英語來說則是：“Some mutual friends of ours introduced us. ”

我們今天的學習就到此結束了，明天我們繼續其它原味美語表述的學習，bye for now.
