标题[请益] 几个疑问..
时间Sun Jan 23 15:50:33 2011
有几个问题想请教大家:
1. 我不是很懂 "over" 在这里的用法:
"The 'kiddush', which is recited to usher in Shabbat and other festivals,
is
a blessing made over wine to symbolize the tranformation of
secular time into holy time."
Kiddush 是祷文之类的颂词,
请问 a blessing over wine 是指 为酒祈福、祝祷 还是 用酒祈福、祝祷 呢?
over 在这里的用法,跟 "We'll discuss it over lunch" 是否不同?
还有什麽类似的句子可以用来解释 over 在这里的用法呢?
2. 专家建议父母,在性、喝酒等等方面定下规矩:
Make rules that let you
stand dull and tall and consistent:
- You are not permitted to drink at parties.
- You are not permitted to attend parties where no adult is present.
- We don't want you home with your boyfriend when no adult is in the house,
and your door must remain open where he is in your room.
请问这里的 stand dull and tall and consistent 里,
stand tall 和 stand consistent 都还能理解,但 stand dull... 是什麽意思呢?
3. 和青春期子女谈喝酒、药物、性爱,比...来得困难?
Having conversations with your teen about drinking, drugs, and sex is
more difficult than
prescribing that you have one.
请问这里的 prescribing that you have one,
是指 "直接对子女说 你有某方面的问题 (酗酒/上瘾/对性的态度随便)" 的意思吗?
还是别的意思呢?
4. I have a friend who is thinking about kissing another girl.
请问,在没有说明这位 friend 性别的情况下,
可从 "another" girl 推测那位朋友也是 girl 吗?(女孩想亲吻女孩)
还是我想太多了?... ~_~
5. 作者提到,拉拔孩子这麽多年,要在他们变成青少年时缩手并不容易:
After building the habits of prodding and ushering and supporting and
tending, it can be hard to pull back and simply
look up and around and
forward. But you will.
请问,这里的 look up and around and forward,
最後的 (look) forward 是指往前看、继续走下去对吗?
那前面的 look up and around 又是甚麽意思呢?
6. 作者感谢两间学校的家长提出问题(让她去思考那些问题、进而有所启发)
Thank you to the parents of the Harvard-Westlake and Crossroads School
for submitting fifty-two pointed and heartfelt questions.
请问 fifty-two pointed 是指什麽?我查不出来... @_@
7. 这句话没甚麽前後文:
My ever-ready assistant always gets it. And then takes care of it, too.
这里的 ever-ready 感觉是精明能干的意思,但在网路辞典上都查不到这个词...
我要怎麽确定这个词的意义呢?有哪里查得到吗?
谢谢!!

首先谢谢dunchee 大!
1F:→ dunchee:1. 先用常理判断(为酒祈福?这意思通吗?)如果不确定... 01/23 23:07
4F:→ dunchee:-> 11 ... 01/23 23:07
11 是 a. one more time; again
b. used to say how many times something is done or repeated
好像搭不起来耶..
5F:→ dunchee:"...over lunch"-> 上头link -> 14 (这和11的差别可以看第 01/23 23:09
6F:→ dunchee:二例句的方框解释,然後想一下(或是再看前头的youtub) 01/23 23:10
这条项目只有到12耶..
难道说我看到的页面跟dunchee大看到的不同?
7F:→ dunchee:2. 发挥一下想像力(脑海里头想一下那画面) 01/23 23:16
9F:→ dunchee:-> 1.... (还是想不出来的话,那麽这样子想-> 比如某个妈 01/23 23:16
10F:→ dunchee:妈,在跟儿子定规矩时会不会一边唱歌跳舞想尽办法吸引儿子 01/23 23:17
11F:→ dunchee:的注意力?) 01/23 23:17
嗯...
12F:→ dunchee:5. 发挥一下联想力。那是用实际的身体动作去比喻你已经说 01/23 23:31
13F:→ dunchee:出来的情形. (想像 本来是搀扶着,现在不用扶了,那麽现在 01/23 23:33
14F:→ dunchee:把注意力转移到其他地方你的视线会是在哪里?) 01/23 23:34
我应该会紧盯着孩子.. 怕他跌到嘛... ~_~
16F:→ dunchee:-> 2 ... 01/23 23:35
两个连结都显示 Page not found..
19F:→ dunchee:原文有内文(都是可以帮助理解那样子表达的用意是什麽) 01/23 23:39
20F:→ dunchee:你又变了字样(这会造成判读差异) ... 01/23 23:39
嗯?
