那些不能说错的口语 - How about v.s What about - 老友记,学英语

写在前面的话

如果想要通过看美剧学英语,那么我一定会推荐你看《老友记》,原因如下:

1. 内容全面,十季内容涵盖爱情、友情、亲情,工作,生活的各个方面。

2. 人物对白发音标准,吐字清楚,语速适中。

3. 制作精良、演技到位、剧情中正,是一代人内心美好的回忆。

4. 无论看多少遍,都会有新的笑点,让学习变得不无聊。

对于很多人来说,它已经不是一部剧,而是,好像你记忆中最永远的青春的感觉,那个不靠谱的舍友,那个爱慕已久的心上人,那个温暖的咖啡厅,那个躺着睡觉的沙发,那些做过的所有关于未来的梦……

自从创建了“老友记学习”系列以来,子莯青青收到很多小伙伴的鼓励和支持。我也一直在努力寻找和实践更好更有效的学习方法分享给大家。

What about 后面常跟名词,强调的是这个名词。一般有两种意思:

1) If B happens, what about A?

如果B事件发生了,A怎么办

2) B is xxx, what about A?

B 是这样的,A是什么样子的
