  2021年11月英语六级口语高分句/加分句讲解(24)

  一、I feel like a fish out of water doing that job.

  六级词汇讲解:

  a fish out of water是侄语,字面意思为“离开水的鱼”,隐含意义为“某人和他所处的环境不融洽,使他感到很别扭、很难堪”。如:

  At the conference I was a fish out of water. All the speeches were in French, a language I never studied. 参加那个会议真叫我感到别扭。所有的发言都用法语,可是我从来都没有学过法语。

  六级考点归纳:

  与fish有关的表达还有很多。如:

  1. to beach a fish how to swim意为“班门弄斧;给别人提出完全没有必要的建议或劝告”。如:

  My son, fresh out of college, keeps telling me how to run my business.But I've been making good money for 30 years so he's teaching a fish how to swim.

  我的儿子大学刚毕业,可是他却不断地来告诉我应该怎么做生意。我30年来生意做得很好,赚了不少钱。所以,他这样做真是多余。

  2. fish out意为“捞出;摸索出”。如:

  Hey, there is a man dropped into the river. Go and fish him out! 看,有人掉进河里了。去把他救上来!

  3. fish for意为“设法用间接手段得到某事物”,相当于try to gain sth. by indirect methods.如:

  He is fishing for our company's latest news. 他拐弯抹角地打探我们公司最近的消息。

  二、The performance is said to be excellent and with a student's discount, the tickets will be really cheap.

  六级词汇讲解:

  该句需要注意be said to…的类似表达以及discount的用法。

  be said to…的意思是“人们说”,这种用被动语态表示主动语气的表达方式,意在强调事情的客观性。类似的表达还有:

  l)be supposed to…意为“人们期望”。如:

  You are supposed to be here at nine. 你应该9点到这儿。

  2)It is believed that…意为“人们相信”。如:

  It is believed that will definitely win the prize,大家相信我们一定会得奖。

  3)It must be admitted that…意为“必须承认……”。如:

  It must be admitted that for the present we are inferior to our competitors in technical equipment. 必须承认,目前我们在技术设备上略逊于我们的竞争对手。

  本句中,discount是名词,意为“折扣”。如:

  They give a 10% discount for cash payment. 现金付款,他们给予九折优惠。

  此外,discount还可以用作动词,表示“打折;认为……不重要,低估”。如:

  1)The store discounted alI clothing for the safe. 该店服装全部打折出售。

  2 )His information is not to be discounted. 他的消息不可不重视。

  六级考点归纳:

  discount 作为名词,可以组成很多实用短语。如:

  at a discount 折价,减价出售;低于面值的价格;不受重视

  with some discount 打折扣;以保留的态度……

  additional discount 额外折扣;折上折

  cash discount 付现折扣,现金折扣

  extra discount 额外折扣

  special discount 特别折扣

  volwne discount 总额折扣

  heavy/small discount 大/小折扣

  usual discount 普通折扣

  wholesale discount 批发折扣

  三、Well, can't you drop one course and pick it up next semester?

  六级词汇讲解:

  drop one course的意思是“退掉一门课程”。drop的用法在前面已经讲到,这里不再赘述。pick up在本句中意为“重新学习,继续学习”,正好与drop的意思相对。如:

  Today we will pick up where we finished last Friday. 今天我们将接着上周五的内容继续学习

  六级考点归纳:

  1. pick up含义丰富,除了“重新学习”以外,还有很多其他常用含义:带“收拾干净”。如:

  I've got to pick this room up beFore the guests arrive. 我必须在客人到来之前把房间收拾干净。“(车、船等)在半路上搭人”。如:

  Now let's figure out whose car will stop to pick us up. 让我们想一下,谁的车能在中途梢上我们。

  2. “有起色;(生意等)好起来”。如:

  The hotel business always picks up in summer. 旅馆的生意常常是在夏季开始好转。

  3. “自然学会”。如:

  Bob has never had a French teacher; he picked the language up by himself. 鲍勃从来没有法语老师,他是自己学会这门语言的。

  4. “听见;看见”。如:

  The dog's sense of hearing is so sharp that it can pick up the sound from afar. 狗的听觉很敏锐,它能听到远方的声音。
