详细解说
❶ “That's/It's(very)+(表示人的性格特征和行为表现的)形容词+of sb.(to
do sth.)”的意思是“某人(做某事)是……的”,形容词如kind(好)、
smart(聪明)、stupid(笨)、careless(粗心)等都可以使用,例如:It's
smart of you to bring extra food to the picnic.(这次野餐你多带了些吃的来,
真是太聪明了。)
❷ “treat sb. to sth.”是“款待某人某物(食物等)”的意思,例如:I treated Mom
to lunch.(我请妈妈吃了午饭。)
❸ “order in”的意思是“叫外卖(送饭上门)”,例如:I think I'll stay home
tonight, order in a pizza.(我想我今天晚上就呆在家里了,叫一份外卖比萨来
吃。)
❹ “look forward to”意为“期待,盼望”,这里的“to”是介词,后面可以接名
词、代词或动词的ing形式。
