地道表达:
leave somebody/something alone
解词释义:
alone是形容词,意思是“独自的”,短语leave sb/sth alone指“不带走,不接触,不干涉某人或某物”“不想左右或改变别人的思想”,即常说的“不去管”。
拓展讲解:
alone在这里是做动词leave后面的宾语sb的补足语。
支持范例:
He will leave alone things that might cause trouble.
他从来不干会招惹是非的事。
The principal is busy at his desk. You'd better leave him alone.
校长正忙于桌上的工作,你最好别打扰他。

口语句型:
1. Something is wrong with sb/sth.
译文:某人或某物出事了。
讲解:这个句子就相当于There is something wrong with sb/sth.
范例:Something is wrong with my stomach. Did I eat something bad ? 我的肚子有点不对劲,是不是吃了什么不新鲜的东西?
Something is wrong with the machine——it is out of gear. 机器出了故障,它失灵了。
2. Nothing serious.
译文:没有什么大事。(没什么严重的。没什么大不了的事。)
讲解:noting是不定代词,形容词serious修饰nothing时位于其后面。还有一个地道的句子来表示这个意思:It is not a big deal.
范例:What is it all about? Nothing serious, just a storm in a teacup.
究竟是什么事呢?没有什么,大惊小怪。
