: ※ 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?
呃.. sorry 我没讲清楚,我想问的是,
有没有类似 over 在原文 "a blessing over wine" 里这种用法的其他例句?
: : 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?
前一段讲的是,当子女有问题来找父母时,父母应该用心倾听,
而不是用敷衍、逃避、或指责等等态度面对。
接下来就是这一段了:
Not only must you be prepared to listen well, you must be prepared
to initiate some conversations with your teen -- about self protection,
about moderation, about ethics, about respect for others.
I know actually having conversations with your child about drinking, drugs,
and sex is more difficult than prescribing that you have one.
The black-and-white, just-say-no approach is so pervasive
that parents lack practice articulating the subtleties of responsible use.
: : 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 :)
ever-ready 是源自 Eveready 呀?
可是作者为何要把 eveready 写成 ever-ready 呢?(惑)
算是取双重意义吗?(ever+ready的字面意义,和电池品牌的能量意义)
非常谢谢 teng 大!让我常常有恍然大悟的感觉~~
