英語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話練習(xí)：DONT GET YOUR HOPES TOO HIGH
Dialogue 17
laurance--They"ll never help us.You know that old saying,
"You can"t get blood out of a turnip."
soony--I know,I know.But that"s no reason not to ask them.
laurance--We asked them last year and what did they say?
soony--actually,they didn"t say anything.
laurance--Yeah.They didn"t say anything and they didn"t do
anything.
soony--I think they might do something this year.I was
talking to Gail last week and I thought I detected
a more friendly attitude.
laurance--There you go with your optimism!Don"t get your
hopes too high!
soony--I won"t,but it doesn"t hurt to expect the best.
Sometimes you get it!
注解：
1)turnip：蘿卜。
2)Gail：人名。
3)detect：察覺(jué)。
4)attitude：態(tài)度。
5)optimism：樂(lè)觀主義(態(tài)度、情緒)
6)Don"t get your hopes too high.=Don"t expect too much.
high是賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。high hope是“奢望”。
7)It doesn"t hurt to expect for the best：it是形式主語(yǔ)，
不定式短語(yǔ)to expect for the best是真正的主語(yǔ)。
