我认为那是一场非常精彩的演讲。 I thought it was a pretty good lecture. 近来大学的课程中很多都安排有辩论（debate)的时间。老师和学生，或是学生之间作激烈的争辩。留学生刚到美国上课，有时会吓一跳。所以，在平常时，要从会话中训练自己有逻辑的观念，也可找几位朋友，模拟一下，但是以不伤和气为原則。 I was moved by that speech.我被那次演讲所感动。 That speech took my breath away.那次演讲令我大为感动。 That professor is really full of it!那位教授的确学识丰富。 That lecture made me think.那次演讲促使我思考。 Don’t lecture me!别教训我! 外国人：Did you attend Professor Green ’ s lecture on Karl Marx? 你有去听格林教授有关卡尔•马克斯的演讲吗？ 中国人：Yeah. It was really a bunch of B. S. though. 有啊！但是那演讲简直胡扯。 外国人：Why? / thought it was a pretty good lecture. 为什么？我认为那是一场非常精彩的演讲。 中国人：Are you kidding? It was just a lot of crap about e- quality. 你真会开玩笑！那只不过是谈论平等的废话罢了。 注：lecture 演讲；讲课 crap 〔俗〕排泄 equality 平等 在餐厅常可以听到同学之间讨译老师上课的内容，或是为听过的演讲内容争辩。赞美的话可以说“I thought it was pretty good. ”或“I thought it was pretty cool. ”如果是贬低的话，就 说“I thought that was a bunch of B. S. ”“B. S.，’是“bullshit”的简称。而shit是指“粪便”的意思，非常不雅，所以，在使用时，要小心。 |
