Luck, Lock, Look的发音区别。

图书馆。我要去找本书。

A: Good luck. They locked up already.

祝好运。他们已经关门了。

B: It's that late?

那么晚了吗?

To the library,口语中省略句子里前面提到的部分,I'm going to the library是完整的表达。

look这次是用来对比其他两个单词的读音,look for这个短语我们之前学过,这里是寻找的意思。

good luck除了可以真心的表示祝对方好运之外,细微的语调差别,比如这里略带升调则可以表示一种调侃的语气。

already一般和现在完成时搭配使用,但在口语中也经常直接用过去式表示,lock作名词是锁的意思,动词组lock it up或lock up是上锁的意思。

that在通常情况下作为功能词汇一般是轻读的,但在这个句子that代表的是程度副词,它有它的语义和语气,所以这里是需要重读的。

038 Don't sweat it!

don't中,n会cancel t,don这里会停顿,有人不停顿。sweat it 会连读。

那我只有周四周五和周一有时间弄了

A: Don't sweat it! You can come in on the weekend.

没事儿 你可以周末来加班

need作为需要需求的意思,在不同的语境对象语气下传达的意思都会稍有不一样,这里作为上司是有命令的口吻的。

by这个介词用来修饰时间时,它的意思是在这个时间之前,它是一个期限时间。在某时间之后用since。

that gives me用在该语境下表示前面的内容造成的影响,有时候也用that leaves me...;work on it在某件事情上花时间去工作,和中文口语里的“”的意思差不多。

come in有很多意思,最常见的是“请进”;这里的意思是上班,而且是在公司上班,时间状语是周末,所以理解为加班;有些工种比如水管工,就是上家(检查或者维修)。

sweat作为名词是的意思,动词是出汗,人在激动担心紧张的时候容易冒汗,别出汗的意思就引申为“别紧张,别担心,没事儿”。
