第6課:丑陋的?- 9

迷你小對話

A: That dog is as ugly?as a sin.
B: I bet it is also a little dangerous, so you better watch yourself around it, as I know it likes to bite people.
A: Well, just keep that big ugly thing away from me.

A: 那條狗真是奇丑無比。
B: 我敢說它也挺危險(xiǎn)。我知道它愛咬人,在它跟前你最好小心點(diǎn)兒。
A: 那就讓這個(gè)又大又丑的家伙離我遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn)兒。

語言點(diǎn)精講

be as ugly as sin: 指長得很丑,不引人注目,毫無魅力。sin是個(gè)非常負(fù)面的詞,因此這個(gè)短語的貶義很強(qiáng)。
you better: 是you’d better的口語形式。
keep away from: 遠(yuǎn)離。
