刚刚更新 编辑: 浏览次数:223 移动端

  如今越来越多的人都在准备雅思考试,但在雅思备考中很多烤鸭最头疼的就是雅思口语了,能说一口地道的英语成为高分的关键。那烤鸭们应该如何准备呢?澳际小编为你准备了一些地道的雅思口语本地词汇。

  一:与时间相关的习语.

  1. Put the clock back

  [字面意思]:把钟表指针向后拨。

  [实际意思]: 指行为或观念跟不上时代;按陈旧的规矩办事;老脑筋。

  E.g.: You must give university students more freedom. Don’t try to prevent them from falling in love bore graduation. You can’t put the clock back!

  原来这样简单的词句,也能表达如此确切的意思!

  2. Work against the clock

  [字面意思]:与钟表的走动比赛。

  [实际意思]: 指的是抓紧时间工作,强调不停顿哦~

  E.g.: I have to work against the clock to finish my thesis bore the holiday finishes. Otherwise my supervisor will not be happy with me.

  我们辛勤的烤鸭们还可以这样说哦:I have to work against the clock to pass my IELTS exam. 哈哈,是不是很准确的表达了烤鸭考前的心情!

  3. Go like clockwork

  [字面意思]:像钟表的机械装置一样运转。

  [实际意思]: 指计划、安排、工程或项目等进展顺利,强调有条不紊,没有麻烦。它还有另一种说法:Runlike clockwork.

  E.g.: The president is very happy that all our arrangements for the project are going like clockwork. And I am sure we can finish the project in time.

  如果part2的话题考到了future plan,something you saved money for这种和计划相关的话题,烤鸭们是可以把go like clockwork运用上去的,表达我们的计划按部就班,进展的非常顺利~

  4. After hours

  [字面意思]:钟点之后。

  [实际意思]: 在规定的下班时间以后,非营业时间。

  E.g.: Public houses must not stay open after hours, for if they do, they will have to face sanctions imposed by the government.

  这个词其实在我们平常的生活中非常常见,比如After hours GP指的是非营业时间的GP医生~

  5. This minute

  [字面意思]:这分钟。

  [实际意思]: 马上,立刻,立即。

  E.g.: What a mess you have made! Your room is like a pigsty! I want you to clean your room this minute!

  [字面意思]:以黑白形式。

  [实际意思]:写在纸上;以书面形式(常指合同或协议等法律文件);白纸黑字。

  有木有童鞋理解成为了打印的时候要黑白打印呢? Anyway, 以后童鞋们签订合同的时候不用愁啦!~ 直接说: I prer tohave our agreement in black and white.就ok啦~

  7. Out of the blue
