有遇到人家说你“a load of rubbish”吗?a load of rubbish是什么意思呢?a load of rubbish翻译为一派胡言。优朗英语新概念英语培训谢老师告诉我们a load of rubbish是较为不正式的说法,表示别人说或写的东西非常愚蠢,也可用a load of nonsense来替换。
当一些人说的都是废话或者在胡说的时候,身边的人会用到a load of rubbish。例如:
Don't take any notice of what he said . It was a load of rubbish .
别在意他说的那些话,全是一派胡言。
Brian decided that everything he had written was a load of rubbish and not worth keeping .
布莱恩认为他写的东西全是废话,不值得保存。
关于a load of rubbish的对话:
It was absolutely the best film I have ever seen !
Sorry , but I sill think the film was a load of rubbish .
So what did you think of it , Sonia ?
Sorry , did you ask me something ?
当人家认为你说的是一派胡言的时候,如果你想重新解释,你知道重新用英语怎么说吗?all over again可以翻译为“重新”。all over again 表示整件事要重新再做一次。
例句:
James wasn't listening , so I had to explain the plan to him all over again .
詹姆斯没留心听,所以我不得不重新向他解释了这个计划。
I had heard the story once and didn't want to listen to it all over again .
我以前听过这个故事,不想重新再听一遍。
情景模拟:
