我們今天來談:開發出英語字彙的層次感~

學英文從「OK」到「Good」的階段,一定會開始感覺到英文字的層次感不夠。因為光知道「一般用語」不夠,還要延伸出意思的層次感。我們來看看英文光是,就有:

1. crack a smile 
展顏微笑,莞爾一笑
The king was willing to do anything to make the queen crack a smile. (國王為了讓他的王后展顏微笑,他願意做任何事情。)

2. laugh a hearty laugh/laugh heartily 
放聲大笑,開懷大笑
Upon hearing that he had won the lottery, the man laughed heartily. (知道自己中獎了,這個男人開懷大笑。)

3. force a smile 
強作歡顏
First, force yourself to smile. If you are alone, force yourself to whistle or hum a tune or sing. Act as if you were already happy, and that will tend to make you happy. (首先強迫你自己微笑,如果你單獨一人的時候,吹吹口哨,唱唱歌,儘量讓自己高興起來,就好像你真的很快樂一樣,那就能使你快樂。)

4. a saccharine smile 
諂笑,諂媚的笑
When he talks to his boss, he puts on a saccharine smile. (他跟老闆說話的時候,滿臉都是諂媚的假笑。)

5. smile bitterly 
苦笑
The student smiled bitterly when his teacher caught him copying his homework. (抄作業被老師抓到後,這個學生滿臉苦笑。)

明天起還會介紹幾組意思相近,但層次不同的詞。你平常用的可能都是一般用語,讓自己在一般用語之外,開發出語言的層次感吧!
