a word 悄悄话,谈话
分类: 英语学习方法
A word中“Word”是“词、字”没错,但是连起来“A word”就不是“一个单词”。
“A word”是“私下里沟通,悄悄话,也可指商谈,谈话”的意思。
举个例子:
Can I have a word with you?
可以借一步说话吗?
I don't think she's interested but I'll have a word with her.
我想她不会感兴趣,但是我会和她聊聊的。
- Tom, can I have a word with you? It won't take long.
- Sure. I'll be with you in a minute.
-汤姆,我能和你说句话吗?不会占用你太多时间。
-好的,我一会儿过来。
