【Learn from music】雅思口语:Smile 微笑
2019-06-25
今天要分享的是一首正能量的歌曲,called ‘Smile’,虽然life is so tough但我们也要理直气壮地smile。这首歌就像歌手的名字Vitamin C(原名Colleen Fitzpatrick) 充满活力。
接下来,听听这首歌,聊聊本季话题smile
●put on a smile on your face
“面带微笑”
“put on”有“穿上”的意思,比如put on my coat “穿上我的外套”,也可以说:wear my coat,所以“我经常面带微笑”也可以是:I usually wear a smile on my face.
●smile
smile 既可以作名词,也可以作动词。作名词,比如 a friendly smile“友好的微笑”,再比如 manage a smile “强颜欢笑”,也可以说
force a smile,Although he felt exhausted, he still managed a smile in the end.
虽然他很疲惫了,但最后还是勉强笑了一下,作动词,比如smile at sb“对某人微笑”,Tom smiles at her and greets her warmly.
Tom对她微笑着,热情地跟她打招呼。再比如smile to oneself表示 开心地笑
He read the message on his phone and smiled to himself.
他读着那条消息,开心地笑了。
●there is no need to do sth
“不必做某事”
I think there is no need to manage a smile if you don’t want to.我觉得,如果你不想强颜欢笑,就不必强颜欢笑。口语中,我们也可以用there’s no need to do sth 表示“不要做某事”,
比如:There’s no need to shout in public!
公共场合不要大声喊叫!
●screw sb up
screw sb up【非正式】表示“使某人很不愉快”
比如It screwed her up when her bestie betrayed her and pretended to smile at her.
她闺蜜背叛她还对她假笑,这使她非常难过。
screw作名词有“螺丝钉”的意思,动词可以表示“用螺丝铆住”,那么“screw up the courage to do sth”就可以表示“铆足了勇气做某事”
比如:Finally, I screwed up the courage to propose to her.
终于,我鼓足了勇气去跟她求婚。
●dimple
“酒窝”
感觉 笑起来 有酒窝的脸庞(dimpled cheeks)都非常上镜,小编对于dimpled cheeks真是毫无抵抗力。“上镜的”可以说:photogenic,比如题库里“Do you smile when people take pictures of you?”
就可说:Sure. when I smile in a picture, my dimpled cheeks make me look more photogenic.
最后,希望大家天天开心,Put on a smile on your face. Make the world a better place.发音都在歌里啦~
