※ 引述《Cadi ( )》之铭言： : 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？ 用酒祈福。 : 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？ We'll look at it over the weekend? : 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？ 就无聊、古板之类的 "所设定的规则要让你看来古板、但坚定且不自相矛盾" 大概这意思~ : 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？ 我看不太懂，有没前後文? : 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？... ~_~ 想太多。某男生已有女友，但想亲吻别的女生也是kissing another girl。 : 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？ look up and around and forward是要家长从以前像工人般的角色 (推、拉、支持) 改为观察性的角色 (有点像母鸡顾小鸡，让小鸡自己去乱跑，而母鸡只负责看 up and around and forward，除非有危险) : 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... @_@ 52个尖锐/一针见血，却也发自内心的问题 : 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？ 你理解没错。Eveready是个电池品牌 :) : 谢谢！！ -- 'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life Trying to make ends meet, You're a slave to money then you die -Bittersweet Symphony, The Verve --
