又如:I sure want to give you props for speaking up at the meeting. A lot of people felt the same way, but were too scared to say anything. You were the only one brave enough to speak you mind.
我可真敬佩你在会上大胆执言。好多人虽然有同感却吓得不敢开口。只有你勇敢地把心里话说出来。
句中的give you props意思是敬佩你,说话的人对他朋友的仗义执言表示敬佩。
3.sweet
这个词对大家说来并不陌生,很多人知道它的意思是甜的,它是sour酸,或者bitter苦的反义词。Sweet通常用来描述可口或者给人好感的事物。我们来看看一个小伙子在描述电视转播的篮球赛时怎么应用sweet 这个词。
例如:That game was terrific! I love watching Chicago and New York play against one another because they play so hard. For the final play, the crowd went crazy because the last shot was so sweet.
这场球赛精彩极了。芝加哥队和纽约队打球都非常卖力,所以我特别爱看他们的比赛。最后一场使观众都兴奋得发狂;最后一球投得棒极了。
这里的sweet用来描绘轰动全场的最后一次投蓝,这里的sweet和味道无关,它的意思是棒极了、精彩极了。
Sweet也可以用来赞叹其它特别棒的事情。
