今天课窝网就用用Christmas gift or Christmas present做UKiset英语词汇辨析的训练吧。
读到一则英语新闻:美国一对老年夫妻(男80,女70)在公路上偷运60磅“大麻”(案值36万美金)时被警察查获。80岁男疑犯对运送如此庞大大麻的“解释”竟然是:to give out the weed(指大麻生叶)as Christmas presents.
原文节选如下:
Vrbka said the couple told police they were traveling to Vermont from Clearlake Oaks, California, and intended to give out the weed as Christmas presents, according to WOWT.com.
现在我们可以用这段英语做“英语口语”训练了:
Well,got it. When we give someone something on Christmas, we can say We give you a Christmas present.
“圣诞礼物”是可以说Christmas present的。
而当我们又读到下面的英语时:
A Christmas gift(礼物)or a Christmas present(礼品?) is a gift given in celebration of Christmas. They are often exchanged(交换)on December 25th.
我们又可以做同样的“英语口语”训练了:
Okay.Got you.When we ssy a Christmas gift, we can also call it a Christmas present.
所以呢:
A Christmas gift is the same as a Christmas present.
能说英语口语就是“好猫”。
