往期回顾:
这一集里,Christy要跟他的准男友take things slow,于是… 嗯,不剧透,大家自己欣赏吧。
detour
A longer route that you take in order to avoid a problem or to visit a place.
就是“绕个远儿,兜一圈儿”。例如:
We had to make a detour around the flooded fields.
It’s well worth making a detour to see the village.
give somebody a taste of something
这个从字面意思就很好理解,就是“让某人感受一下某物”。举个例子:
Camping gave us a taste of living in a natural way.
The farm holidays are for townspeople who would like a taste of the countryside.
blow your mind
这个之前有说过,还记不记得?英文解释是:to produce a very strong pleasant or shocking feeling. 它的形容词形式更加常用,就是mind-blowing, very exciting, impressive or surprising. 比如:
Watching your baby being born is a mind-blowing experience.
还有咱们上回说的,非洲让人叹为观止的美:the mind-blowing beauty of Africa.
