英语点滴(持续更新)
commercial business 怎么理解？商务的生意？不是有重复的意思么？
local people are enjoying the convenience of commercial business.
commercial 翻成“商”，指非“工”业的经营模式。
business 这里不能翻成“生意”，要翻成“业”，是指事业。
所以commercial business 要翻译成 “商业”
local people are enjoying the convenience of commercial business。
当地人享有商业带来的便利。
I feel a chill coming on. 我感觉有点冷。 coming on 在这里是什么用法！求解。
在英语中，有一种句式是：主语+谓语+宾语+宾补，宾补的作用是为了描述宾语的状态。而且宾补有多种呈现形式，大致有以下几种：
1、动词ing形式；
2、to do，简单例子：I have something to do.
3、介宾结构，简单举例：She is wearing a sweater with a flower on it.
这句话的字面理解是：我感到寒意正在袭来。活译为：我感觉有点冷。
no wonder "怪不得"
eg: There's no security software on this computer - no wonder you've been hacked!

词性有点不一样specialise vt., vi. 既是"及物动词"又是"不及物动词"specialize vt. 只是 "及物动词"
