That’s amazing!
Two weeks ago, we went to Ocean Park to have fun. We didn’t want to leave granddad home alone, so we invited him to go with us. "Ocean Park is no fun for an old man like me,"he reponded. It took us half an hour to talk him into going with us. I can’t remember how many times he yawned from the moment he stepped into Ocean Park but the show of the killer-whale in the Ocean Theatre changed his impression towards the whole trip. When he saw the tamer standing on the head of the giant whale, which was swimming faster than a speed-boat, he couldn’t help exclaiming,
"That’s amazing!"
granddad 口语化指“爷爷”“外公”
to talk him into going 跟to persuade him to go 意思相同，解作“说服他去。。。”
=====================
We made it!（我们成功了！）
Four months ago, Peter, Jack and Wendy formed a rock band, Triangle. They pratised their favourite oldie rock music and songs almost every day because they wanted to be the Champion of the year in the School Singing Contest. The contest was held last week. They performed before an audience of over a thousand students. Their marvellous performance was followed by thundering applause. When they at last heard the Master of Ceremonies say "And the winner is -Triangle", they shouted in one voice,
"We made it!"
oldie 可以指“老话”、“传说”、“旧歌”或者“旧电影”
Master of Ceremonies (常略作MC),是指“司仪”
====================
You look great!（你看起来神采飞扬！）
It was the first time my eighteen-year-old sister had ever had a date. To her, it was an important event in life and therefore she made every effort to make herself look great. She had her hair set, then made her face up and put on a dress of her favourite colour. But it seemed that she was still not so sure if she looked fine. Seeing her stand there in front of the mirror looking at her own reflection for some twenty minutes, I assured her,
"You look great!"
had her hair set 把头发整理好；弄得好看
reflection 这里指“镜中的映像”。
==================
You are kidding me!(你跟我开玩笑吧)
Andy is working in a restaurant as a part-time waiter to earn some pocket money. On the very first day at his job, his boss said to him, "You must handle all the fragile plates and bowls carefully. for every item you break, I will deduct ten dollars from your salary." After hearing that, Andy was so nervous that he broke qutie a number of things during his first month. On pay day, his boss gave him a cheque for ten dollars. He looked at his boss with his eyes wide open and said,
"You are kindding me!"
pay day 是指"发薪日"

What a surprise!
Last Sunday was my mother’s birthday. We wanted to give her a surprise, so we didin’t mention anything about the birthday celebration all along and she thought we had forgotten her big day. On Sunday morning she went to do the shopping as usual. After she left, we quickly decorated the living room for the birthday party. Before my mother was back, everything was ready. When she opened the door, in one voice we said "Happy birthday".
"What a surprise!"
My mother responded with joy.
in one voice 可用together代替
================
Marvellous!
It is very difficult to please my father with a good meal. No matter my mother cooks, his only remark is "Dogs’ food". Last Friday, before my father came home, my mother had been talking on the phone for such a long time that she didn’t have time to prepare the dinner. "I am starving. Can I have dinner now?" my father shouted as he stepped into the living room. In haste my mother made a dinner with some canned dogs’ food which was the only eatable thing left. Having had a mouthful of the food, my father said,
"Marvellous!"
My mother quickly rushed back to the kitchen and burst into laughter before blaming herself.
starving和hungry都解作"饥饿",但前者更甚于后者
in haste 在匆忙之中
mouthful 指"一口"
================
How did you do it?
Although it was a warm early summer afternoon, we had a great English lesson. It began as a boring G.E. lesson but in the middle of the lesson, Mr. Yeung stopped teaching because he saw that most of us were dozing rather than listening. "Let me show you a magic," he suddenly said loudly. We were wide awake then. He put a coin on the teacher’s desk and then slowly placed a book on top of it. Bending over until his mouth was just an inch from the book, he shouted, "Go!" He asked one of us to pick up the book and amazingly the coin was gone. We all exclaimed,
"How did you do it?"
Note:
rather than 可用but not 来取代
wide awake 完全地清醒过来 |
