对广大吸猫狗群众来说,
豆瓣网友有一个说法甚是贴切:
“养猫就像是和渣男谈恋爱
养狗,觉得自己就像个渣男。”
同为人类的好朋友,
汪星人可以为我们24小时不睡觉,
喵星人却总是自带一股主子气质。
正所谓,一直吸猫一直爽
尽管猫主子们日常鄙视,
我们依然不离不弃,
心甘情愿做一个充满感情的猫奴。
但是对狗呢?
“舔狗”、“单身狗”、“加班狗”
做点什么都是狗,
狗:我招你惹你了?!
话说回来,虽然总是差别待遇,但宠物的人都知道,有了他们之后,真正家庭地位下降的只有自己......下面北京新东方雅思老师王老师、侯老师将与大家分享“口语中如何介绍我们的Pet?”没有猫的朋友,顺便来吸一口吧!
大家看看红色部分的表达存在什么问题?
What kind of pets do people like to have ?
In my opinion,most people would like to keep cats and dogs,
Coz both of the animals can bring a lot of benefits to us.
When people take the walk with their dogs,they can social with other dog owners,which is a good way to make new friends.
For cats,although they don’t need to be taken outside for walk or something.
According to some scientific research,when people touch the fur of the cats,they’ll feel peaceful and comfortable.
发现问题之后,如何解决呢?接下来,我们再来看看老师们是如何讲解的吧。
1
错误:I would like to keep cats
正确:I love to keep cats
这道题,我们提问的方式是,”What kind of pets do people like”,这样的答案是文不对题的,当题目中没有出现”would you like”的时候,我们的回答不能使用这样的表达。
要特别注意,是否这样的形式已经在你脑海中形成了石化性的概念,如果是的话,就需要有针对性的进行练习,比如这道题我们就可以说” I love to keep cats”。
2
错误:Take the walk with their dogs
正确:Take their dogs for a walk
Walk dogs(遛狗)
如果想表达“和我的狗一起散步”,可以说 Take their dogs for a walk,或者直接说遛狗这个表达。
3
错误:...social with other dog owners
正确:...socialize with other dog owners
现在,在中文的网络流行语中经常会用到和谁social,但是social是一个形容词,如果想说和谁交往(交朋友)这种社交的概念时,要用动词 socialize
4
错误:...touch the fur
正确:... stroke the fur
Pet vt. Move your hand gently over sth.
这是一种非常常见的错误表达,抚摸他们的毛最好用stroke,来表达这种轻轻的爱抚,但是touch仅有触摸的意思。
另外,在抚摸小动物的时候,我们也可以用”pet the dog”, Eg.Could i pet your dogs?
最后,我们看看正确的表达:
What kind of pets do people like to have ?
In my opinion,most people love to keep cats and dogs as their pets.
Coz both of the animals can bring a lot of benefits to us,
When people walk their dogs,they can socialize with other dog owners.
Which is a good way to make new friends.
For cats,however,although they don’t need to be taken outside for walk or something.
According to some scientific reports,when people stroke the fur,they’ll feel peaceful and comfortable.
