一分鐘英語 第6期:Grab a Bite 隨便吃幾口
Welcome to English in a Minute, where we teach you all about idioms in American English.
歡迎收聽《一分鐘英語》,在這裏我們將告訴您一些美式英語中的俚語。Have you ever heard this before?
你以前聽過這個麼?I'm starving, Let's grab a bite.
我好餓,我們先去先吃點東西墊墊肚子吧。
If someone has ever told you in English that they were going to "grab a bite", and you were confused, this is the right program for you.
如果某人說他們要去“grab a bite(隨便吃幾口)”,而你卻不明白這是什麼意思,本期節目正適合你。All this talk about food is making me hungry.
這些節目全是關於食物的,弄得我都餓了。Yeah, I'm starving too!
是的,我也餓了!Do you wanna grab a bite?
想去吃點東西墊墊肚子麼?Sounds good.
好主意。In American English, when you say you want to "grab a bite", is means that you want to eat right away, or that you're interested in eating quickly.
在美語中,當你說自己想去“grab a bite(隨便吃幾口)”,意思是你想現在去吃點東西,或者是你想隨便吃點東西,不要花太長時間。If you want to make plans, or sit down and have a nice, fancy meal at a famous restaurant, you may want to say something else instead!
但是如果你是有計劃的,在一家有名氣的飯店吃一頓大餐,這個短語就不合適了。And that's English in a Minute.
