對(duì)話精講

第一、 地道表達(dá)

1. 習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)

see eye to eye

2. 解詞釋義

改習(xí)語(yǔ)出自《圣經(jīng).舊約.與以賽亞書》“聽啊，你守望之人的聲音，他們揚(yáng)起聲來(lái)，一同歌唱。因?yàn)橐腿A歸回錫安的時(shí)候，他們必須親眼看見”。（Thy watchman shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.）現(xiàn)在用之表示“意見一致，看法相同”。

3 語(yǔ)法用法

表示在某個(gè)問題上某件事情上看法一致，在短語(yǔ)后面加上on，即：see eye to eye on something。表示和某人看法一致，在短語(yǔ)后面加上see eye to eye with somebody。表示某些人在某件事情上一件一致，語(yǔ)序如下：see eye to eye with somebody on something。

3. 支持范例

e.g.I think we see eye to eye on that subject.

我認(rèn)為我們?cè)谀莻€(gè)問題上看法一致。

e.g.It is a mere coincidence that they see eye to eye on this point.

他們?cè)谶@一點(diǎn)上見解一致完全是巧合。

e.g.Though we don't quite see eye to eye with each other on this, our thinking is very close.

對(duì)于這件事情，雖然我們的意見不完全一致，但是我們的想法卻是非常接近的。

e.g. He may not see eye to eye with me, but he's no call to insult me in that way.

他盡可以不同意我的意見，但他沒有理由那樣侮辱我。

第三、句海拾貝

1.That is to say...

1. 釋義：

那就是說(shuō)........

2. 支持范例

e.g. Next Monday, that is to say, the 14th of April.

下星期一，那就是說(shuō)四月十四日。

e.g. At last, on the Friday morning, I was turned out, that is to say, I was driven away.

最后，星期五早晨，我遭到他們的驅(qū)逐，也就是說(shuō)，他們竟把我趕了出來(lái)。

e.g. Three weeks from today, that is to say, the 1st of May, you have to turn in the paper.

從今天起三星期后,即五月一日,你必須把報(bào)告交上來(lái)。

e.g. He didn't go, that is to say, it is not recorded that he did.

他沒有去, 換句話說(shuō), 他去的這個(gè)事實(shí)無(wú)案可查。

2. Love is blind. （諺語(yǔ)）情人眼里出西施。

同類表達(dá)：

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

In the eyes of the lover, his beloved is a beauty.
