今天我们学习两个短语：

1. have second thoughts about sth./sb.

这个短语的字面意思是：

关于某个事情/某个人有了第二个想法、主意；

来看看英文解释：

to begin to doubt a decision you have already made

“开始怀疑之前做的判断/决定，有点想推翻之前的判断/决定”；

eg: I think she's having second thoughts about leaving London.

我觉得离开伦敦这事儿，她应该是想法有了变化。

eg: Why are you hesitating? You're not having second thoughts about him, are you?

你为什么要犹豫呀？你不会是对他变卦了吧？

A: "Where's the bride?"

B: "I don't know. Maybe she had second thoughts about getting married."

A：“新娘子呢？”

B：“我不知道啊，也许她临时变卦了不想结婚了呢。”

eg: After she agreed to lend him the money, she had second thoughts.

在她同意借给他钱以后，她又变卦了。

今天我们要来学习的第二个短语是：

hear sb. out

实话说，这个短语我们之前就学过了，来看看。

【句子】Well, I think it’d be rude not to hear him out. 【Modern Family-S1E20】

【翻译】我觉得不听完人家说话蛮不礼貌的。

hear sb. out 听某个人把话说完（尽管你可能不愿意）

to listen to what someone has to say, often when the listener is reluctant to do so

我们来稍微复习几个例句：

eg: I know you're furious with me, but please hear me out.

我知道你特别生我气，但是请先听我说完。

eg: I'm serious about this. Hear me out, please.

我认真的。请听我说完。

eg: Please just hear out his arguments before you make any final decisions.

在你做任何最终决定之前，请先听完他的观点。

eg: Hear out the witness. Don't jump to conclusions.

把那位证人的话听完，不要着急下结论。

eg: Listen to his side! We have to hear everyone out on this matter.

听听他的说法，这事儿上我们得把每个人的观点都听一遍。
