“back and forth”是什么意思?
英語(yǔ)中有一個(gè)很常見(jiàn)的詞組“back and forth”,它是什么意思呢?可千萬(wàn)不要把forth和fourth搞混了??纯础段覀冞@一天》的這個(gè)片段吧。

今日重點(diǎn):
諷刺的:ironic。名詞形式irony,意思是“反諷”
及其:pretty。這個(gè)詞也可做形容詞,表示“漂亮的”
來(lái)回地:back and forth。forth表示“向前”,而fourth是“第四”
哮喘:asthma
提出:bring up?
某個(gè)的:“some doctor”可以看到doctor沒(méi)有加-s,是因?yàn)閟ome在這里表示“某個(gè)”,而不是“一些”
與……有關(guān):to do with sth
