Unit19-1 饮食生活
到了一处新的地方,当地的饮食文化势必是注意的重点之一,也是跟生活息息相关的话题之一。让我们来看看杰瑞跟汤姆如何谈论此地的饮食文化吧。
you just don't stop…你就是停不下来……
这句话用来描述某人一直针对某事不断地谈论、抱怨或者喋喋不休等。
You'er complained for the past hour about work,you just don't stop.do you?
你已经抱怨工作好几个小时了,你就是停不下来是吗?
so many...yet so little…有这么多…….但是……却不够
当我们想要描述一个人有许多事情得做,但时间却不足,或者其他任何类似的情况时,都可以使用这个句型。
There are so many places to visit,yet so little time to do it.
有这么多地方得去,但时间却不够。
模拟对话
Non-stop Eating!美食不断!
Tom:One thing I love about this place is the assortment of foods from different cultures. And what's more is that they are all close by and easily accessible.I don't have to drive half an hour to Chinatown to get Chinese food,or another hour to get to little Saigon. And they are all delicious.
汤姆:这个地方有一点让我很喜爱,那就是有许多异国美食。更棒的是这些地方都很近,很容易吃到,我不用开半个小时的车去中国城买中国菜,或者再多开一个小时到小西贡去。而且这些东西全都很美味。
