第178期:闲散度日, 生活安逸

英语情景对话:

A: John has some trouble in his life.
A: 约翰在生活遇到麻烦了。

B: I hear that his father died.
B: 我听说他爸爸死了。

A: Yeah. He’s been having an easy time since he was a boy, and now he doesn’t know how to face the music.
A: 嗯,从他是个小孩的时候就一直过着安逸悠闲的生活,现在他不知道怎么去面对现实。

B: He is out of luck.
B: 他真倒霉。

习语:

have an easy time

解词释义:

easy在这里是指“安逸的,安乐的,宽裕的”,例如:an easy life的意思是“安逸的生活”,be in easy circumstances意思是“生活安逸”,have an easy time也是“生活安逸”的意思。

支持范例:

I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering for the university level contest.
我本来可以置身事外,不参加本次校际比赛,轻轻松松地过日子。
