第11課：不感興趣的?- 12

【迷你小對話1】

A: John sometimes finds it difficult to get up in the morning – he’s always missing his early classes.
B: So? He is one of the best students in the class, and always gets his homework done.

A: John有時候早上起不來——他經(jīng)常誤掉早上的課。
B: 那又怎么樣？他是班里最好的學(xué)生之一，作業(yè)總能按時完成。

【迷你小對話2】

A: I would avoid going to Egypt in August – it gets pretty hot at that time of year.
B: I don’t care what you say. It’s the only time I can get time off from work, and I’ve never seen the Pyramids.

A: 我盡量不在八月去埃及——每年的那個時候，那里實在太熱了。
B: 我可管不了那么多了？那是我唯一得空休息的時候，我還從來沒有見過金字塔呢。

【語言點精講】

miss: 未出席；未趕上。
So? : 這個短句可以表示多種意思，如 “So what?” “So what else?” “So please continue.” “So don’t be stupid.” 因此具體含義要從上下文推斷。在本次的小對話中意思相當(dāng)于“So what?”
avoid doing sth.: 避免做某事。
get time off from: 從……抽出時間休息。
the (Great) Pyramids: 開羅近郊的古埃及三大金字塔。
