欢迎大家来到《点滴英语天天学》,我是可可英语网站的Juliet老师。今天我们开始第10课的学习。
在今天的课堂上,我们来学习关于nod的一个用法。我们要表示朝着某个方向点头来表示所谈论的人或物,该如何运用它来表达呢?我们来看下面的例句:
e.g. I asked where Steve was and she nodded in the direction of the kitchen. 我问史蒂夫在哪儿,她朝着厨房点了点头。
e.g. She nodded towards the drawing room and answered he was in there. 她朝客厅方向扬了扬头,回到到他在那里面。
在Example-1中,nodded in the direction of the kitchen的意思是“朝着厨房点点头”,nod后面跟介词短语:in the direction of。它的意思是“朝着……的方向”。For example:He was seen setting off on horseback in the direction of Tarley. (我们看到他骑着马往塔莱那方向出发。)He looked out of the window in the direction of the woodman's gaze.(他顺着樵夫那专注的目光向窗外看去。)联系第一个分句来看,我们可以知道:她朝着厨房点点头是因为当时候的情景是在谈论Steve在哪儿。
在Example-2中,nodded towards the drawing room的意思是“朝着客厅的方向点点头”,nod后面跟介词短语短语,towards the drawing room。联系第二个分句来看,我们可以知道:她朝着客厅点点头是因为当时的情景是某个人问到她“他在哪儿”。
所以,if we want to express “to move your head in the direction of someone or something to show that you are talking about them or it”,我么就需要在nod后面使用介词短语或副词来表示。
Well , that is all for my today’s lesson. Bye for now. 欢迎您每日关注我们的《点点英语天天学》课堂。
