喷倒老美
Jenny和朋友去市郊的风景区游览,地方偏远,路比较崎岖,她们一路颠簸。朋友忍不住说道:“The bus is quite a pain.”Jenny心想:“车怎么会疼呢?”于是问道:“How can the bus feel painful?”
想聊就聊
Jenny:The bus is quite a pain.
詹妮:这车坐着真难受。
Ben: Yes, I agree with you.
本:是的,我也有同感。
知识点津
quite意为“十分,非常”,pain指“痛苦,疼痛”。 The bus is quite a pain.不能按字面意思理解为“这辆车很痛苦”,而是指“车让人感觉很难受(令人不舒服)”。比如想表达做地铁令人很难受,可以说成The subway is quite a pain。
