2月晨读听歌学英语-complicated

语言点：

1.chill：这个词是冷、冷静的意思，进一步可以引申为放松、淡定。

想表达放松一点，除了用relax，还可以只用一个chill就可以完美表达。

chill

just chilling一般表示正在放松，逛街时如果跟店员表示，没什么想找的东西只是看看也可以用到这个表达。

just chilling

chill out出去玩

2.lay back/kick back 放松一点

可以说：You put too much pressure on yourself,just lay back and relax！

lay back

3.like you the way you are 就喜欢你这个样子

想表达就喜欢对方现在的样子可以说：I like you just the way you are.

I like you just the way you are

4.one-on-one 一对一的

one on one lesson/meeting/coaching

one-on-one

5.watch your back：protect yourself (or someone else) against danger from an unexpected quarter.（保护好自己）小心一点。

例句：I got punched by someone so I always watch my back when I walk in the street.

watch your back

6.呆在原地不要动：stay put/stay where you are

例句：Stay put! I'll be right back.

治愈小图

7.take what you get：这个短语的解释比较subtle，类似于我们常说的“有这些还不知足？认清你自己能吃几碗饭吧！”我查到了如下释义：In English we have the idiomatic expression "I take [accept] what I can get [what comes to me]" as opposed to going after something that you want ideally.

take what you can get

8.promise me/guarantee me 答应我，向我保证

promise me

9.complex/complicated的区别

complex着重指数量比较多，而complicated多指事物之间的关系复杂。

例句：The problems of poverty are complicated.

The mechanism of jet engines is complex.

complex/complicated

10.vote with your feet：这个短语字面解释为用脚投票，意思就是退出投票，引申为退出某事：to show your opinion by leaving an organization or by no longer supporting, using, or buying something.

例句：When the price of skiing doubled, tourists voted with their feet and just stopped going.

11.sb come over/show up/visit unannounced不打招呼就来了，与came prepared形成对比

造句：I hate people that show up to my house unannounced,since my room has always been a mess.

show up unannounced

12.strike your pose 摆姿势 造型

sb strike sb as…让谁觉得谁是什么样的人

例句：He struck me as a very serious person.

13.make sb laugh out/crack sb up 让某人笑，crack表示破裂，在这里非常形象。

例句：He never fails to crack me up.

crack me up

与sb is hilarious/interesting有相近的含义。

14.preppy clothes 私立学校校服

preppy是预备学校学生的意思，preppy style可以理解为学院风。

preppy

语音点：

1.let it be和waiting注意美音的flap t

2.complicated重音在com上不是cated
