●解释:
*degree:学位,你现在什么degree的干活?bachelor?master?doctor?
*b.a.相当于我国的学士,launchingpad:发射台.如果你有学士学位,你就在发射台上了,随时准备发射到社会的战场上.areyouonthelaunchingpadnow?
*putonthebrakes:刹车.你不得不痛苦地刹车.
*gofor:想要得到
*mba:masterofbusinessadministration,工商管理硕士
*firstrate:一流.等于firstclass.作者的意思是well-knownuniversityorfamouscollege.
*diminishingreturns:收益递减.得到了mba,这就意味着你收入的减少.这个已经成为规律.在美国是这样,在中国呢?以后也会这样吗?这简直是学习者的悲哀.takeeffect:生效,开始发生作用.effect还有一个词组sideeffect(药物等的副作用)也要记住.
*long-haultruckdrivers:长途卡车司机,这里longhaul就是长途的意思,longhaulcall(长途电话).fullprofessors:全职教授,司机比教书匠要赚得多.安迪不准备教书了,呵呵.但是为了祖国的花朵,我还是没有放弃!
*salary:年薪,月薪,wage:周薪.bonus:分红,记住了吗?
*trucker:卡车司机,-er结尾的往往表示某一职业的人,如worker,farmer,solider等等.
*manageto:设法,动脑子,如:latelyiammanagingtomakesomemoney.
*phd:哲学,文科博士.来自doctorofphilosophy,注意d要大写哦.
*exceptfor:除...之外
*specializedfield:专业领域
*beturnedto:转化为.turn是一个非常重要的动词,比较常用的有:
turnon:(电器等)开上,(性吸引力等)增加,如港台说的"电到你".linda,don"ttrytoturnmeon!
turnoff:关了
turnup:出现,音量开大
turndown:拒绝,音量关小
turnin:出卖,作出
turnover:营业额等达到,反复考虑
turnout:生产,制造
在英语的学习中,谁小词掌握的好,谁的英语就超级棒,而这个需要广泛的阅读,平时要努力积累这样的词组.
*industrialandcommercialpurposes:工商用途
*pursue:事业上的追求,hook:追女朋友,泡妞,peter.whichgirlareyouhookingnow?runafter:追朋友,动物间追来追去,刚刚一个dogrunafterme.当然,安迪是高等animal.所有的追都会用了吗?
*dimfuture:黯淡的未来.作者的意思,除非你是一流大学毕业的,学的是物理或者化学,否则的话,你的前途比较黯淡.
*unemployed:失业.underemployed:没有就业,或者在单位不得志,大材小用.注意2个词的差别.在美国博士失业和不得重用比世界其他地方都要多.myunclewhogotphd11yearsagostillworksinachineserestaurantdowntownsanfrancisco.poorman!
谁打我的手机?peter和linda们,下课了,还有一节课等着你,我先回个电话.好,现在大家可以嘁嘁喳喳了,但是请用英语,呵呵!

安迪英语

后水大学
peter,你什么时候学好英语啊?像安迪一样讲一口流利英语呢?像安迪一样与人分享我们人类伟大的知识呢?peterpan,再给你一年时间,争取在北京奥运到来的那天,我能听见从你嘴巴里吐出美丽芬芳的英语.为了这天,你现在一刻都不能懈怠,每天早晨听到公鸡喔喔叫的时候,就要问自己,我英语听说读写怎么样了?如果还是不行,就应该立马从温暖的被窝里跳起来,自己对自己大喊一声:懒虫,学英语,马上!!!
