说起5月新题季的“囧题”王-中-王
perfume——香水
绝对是花魁一般的存在,
估计很多同学看到这个话题之后,
都和烤鸭君一样,
脸上是一个大写的懵
香水?
“你身上有她的香水味,是我鼻子......”
咋就唱出来了?
Six God?
我就用过这个,行吗?
感受到了知识的匮乏,
烤鸭君去“详细”地了解了一下,
香水分为前调,中调,后调,
馥郁香,花果香,东方调,
味道清新而又凛冽,明媚而又澄澈
......
说了这么多,试还是得考啊,那怎么才能在考场上把香水说的天花乱坠,门清地道?
大家看看表达存在什么问题?
Do you like perfume?
Well,more or less.
It depends on how strong the fragrance is
If the odor is too heavy,it will leave me a bad impression.
In spite of this,i still believe that perfume can represent one’s heart like the one that is made of flower.
发现问题之后,如何解决呢?下面,我们来看看北京新东方雅思老师们是如何讲解的吧。
1
错误:If the odor is too heavy
正确:If the scent is too heavy
If the fragrance is too heavy
odor 通常是形容一种 unpresent,令人不愉快的气味,也就是臭的气味,表达香水的“香味”,这里可以用 scent 和 fragrance。
2
错误:... it will leave me a bad impression
正确:... it leaves me with a bad impression
or it gives me a bad impression
leave sb impression 中间需要有一个介词:with
3
错误:...sometimes i still believe perfume can represent one’s heart
正确:...sometimes i still believe perfume can represent one’s personality
这是一种错误的表达,因为香水不可以 “represent 我的心”。
4
错误:Like the one that is made of flower
正确:Like the floral based perfume
一般来说香水的“味道”,我们往往都会说“香水是什么基调的”,所以正确的表达方式是例如上述的“ floral based perfume ”。
最后,我们看看正确的表达:
Do you like perfume?
Well,more or less
It depends on how strong the fragrance is
If the Scent is too heavy,it will leave me with a bad impression
In spite of this,sometimes i still believe perfume can represent one’s personality like the floral based one.
