What kind of ending is worth going through all the ups and downs(究竟怎样的结局才能配得上这一路的颠沛流离)
最近打算再开一个专栏,记录一点英语学习,这东西没有什么捷径吧,熟能生巧,哈哈。然后一直在想给这篇文章起个什么标题,想了半天还是没什么好的,突然想到一句话————LOL职业选手deft夺冠时,好像是管泽元说了一句:究竟怎样的结局才能配得上这一路的颠沛流离;那不正好能用worth来翻译吗,而且这句子本身也挺美的,就它了。
如今网络也很发达,我推荐的学习方式是采用各大翻译软件,查询你想了解的词,简单看一下其英中释义,更主要的是结合其英英释义看,我相信你会更加加深对这个单词的理解;我一般使用的是百度翻译,对于这种级别的学习完全是够了,不必太过担心翻译的地道性,有些东西学着学着它就地道了。
今天说一说worth这个单词吧。
-
worth
-
adj. 值得的,有价值的;
-
n. 价值,意义,价值...的东西;
-
[not before noun] (used like a preposition, followed by a noun, pronoun or number, or by the -ing form of a verb 用法同介词,后接名词、代词、数字或动词的-ing形式)
-
How much the shirt worth?(这个衬衫值多少?)
-
If you answer the question correctly,it's worth five points.(答对了这道题可以得五分)
-
It isn't worth much.(这不值多少钱)
-
used to recommend the action mentioned because you think it may be useful, enjoyable, etc.
-

-

-

-

-

-
然后是一些习语,我选择几个感觉比较值得一说的记录一下
-
worth sb's/its salt
称职;胜任
deserving respect, especially because you do your job well
Any teacher worth her salt knows that.(称职的教师都知道这一点)
He is absolutely worth her salt.(他绝对是很称职的/他工作能力很出色)
-
for what it's worth
(informal) (所说的只是个人意见)无论管不管用,不论好坏 used to emphasize that what you are saying is only your own opinion or suggestion and may not be very helpful
I prefer this color, for what it's worth.(无论好坏,我喜欢这个颜色)
-
for all sb/it is worth
尽量(多得);拼命(榨取)
in order to get as much as you can from ab/sth

-
for all sb/it is worth
竭尽全力;拼命;十分坚定 with great energy, effort and determination

总结一下:
比较眼前一亮的就是习语中的worth sb's/its salt,一般我们能想到的,某某人很称职(工作能力突出),我们会说sb is very competent/sb is very skilled,这里给我们提供了另外一个高级的表达方式worth sb's/its salt,我们可以在以后的文章中尝试使用这样的表达。
还有就是milk的动词用法,动词意为榨取,确实很形象,结合其名词翻译为牛奶,很好记忆。
let's end with one sentence -- The milkers milk and drink milk every day.
