課堂教案:

Welcome to class today. So, I’m going to start the slang section with a story.
歡迎大家來上課。我們以一個(gè)故事開始今天的俚語(yǔ)。

Once upon a time there was a man named George. George was a really good fighter, and he liked to help people.
很久以前有一個(gè)叫喬治的人。喬治是一個(gè)很厲害的武士,他也很喜歡幫助別人。

And there was a town where people couldn’t get water unless they went past a dragon.They fed the dragon all the sheep they had so they could get past it to get water.
在一個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)里,人們必須經(jīng)過一只龍才能打水。他們用所有的羊喂給了龍,這樣他們才能打到水。

And when they ran out of sheep, they had to start giving the dragon people.And everyone had their names in a lottery, and every day they would choose one person at random.
當(dāng)他們用盡了所有的羊,他們只能開始用人去喂龍了。每天他們會(huì)以抽簽的形式來選擇一個(gè)人。

And one day, the princess’ name was chosen. The king did not want her to die, but he could not stop it.
有一天,公主被選中了。國(guó)王不想讓她去犧牲,但是他不能制止。

And George rode into town that day, and promised he would save her.
喬治在那天騎著馬進(jìn)了城鎮(zhèn),并且承諾了他會(huì)救公主。

Hi killed the dragon, and became known as Saint George of the Dragon.
他殺死了龍,成為了龍的圣喬治

He is a very important person in England. And they decided to use his name when they started fighting, in battle.
他在英格蘭是一個(gè)很重要的人物,所以人們決定在戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上的時(shí)候用他的名字。

So when people from England rode into battle, for a long time they would cry, “For Harry, England, and St. George!”
之后的很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間里,英格蘭人騎向戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)的時(shí)候會(huì)喊“為哈利、英格蘭、和圣喬治!”

And that’s how the slang, “By George,” was started.
這就是俚語(yǔ)By George的來源。

So basically, saying, “By George!” It kind of means or “My God!”.
By George的意思就是“天啊”或“上帝啊”。

But it sounds a little bit better. Some people, myself included, don’t feel very comfortable saying “God.”
但是聽上去好一些,因?yàn)橐恍┤藭?huì)不習(xí)慣說“上帝”。

If you want to use the words “By George,” it can be used to express excitement, astonishment, or saying “of course!”.
如果你想用By George,可以在表達(dá)興奮,驚訝,或者肯定的時(shí)候使用。

But the sentence structure means: “it doesn’t matter whether A or B happens, C will happen”.
句型的意思是 “不管A或B是否發(fā)生,C都會(huì)發(fā)生”
