盘子plate[英][pleɪt] [美][plet] 中英文故事：星期天早晨（4） 去教堂还有一件有趣的事，那就是你必须往盘子里放一些钱。母亲通常给我3便士让我扔进盘里。我问起这些钱的用途，母亲说是给没有饭吃的小孩子准备的。这我倒能理解，因为我们去镇里，母亲有时会给我3便士，我就拿着这些钱去艾米家的小店买一些冰激凌或者什锦糖之类的东西。我得承认，在店门外的凳子上，我曾经一坐就是几个小时，等着看那些挨饿的孩子来买3便士的零食，但是在我看来那些孩子都吃得不错啊。我还从没见过一个饿得要死的孩子。 Another funny thing about Church was that you had to put money on the plate. Mum always gave me three pence for the plate and when I asked her about it she said it was for little kids who had no food. This made sense, for when we went to town sometimes Mum gave me three pence and I could go into Amie’s shop and buy an ice cream or some licorice allsorts. I must say I sat for many hours on the seat outside Amie’s shop waiting to see some of the starving kids come to buy three pence worth of food but all the kids seemed pretty well fed to me. I never saw a single starving kid. 中英文例句 1. She has a lot on her plate. 她盘子里剩下的还很多。 2. Then throws his napkin on his plate. 然后他把餐巾摔到盘子里。 3. Why this elaborate analogy with plate tectonics and continental drift? 为什么要煞费苦心地拿板块学说和大陆漂移来进行类比？ 4. Fraud occurs at many levels between the ocean and the plate. 谎言发生在海洋和之间的多层次的板块之间。 5. With the ocean lost, venus could not kick-start plate tectonics. 随着海洋的消失，金星可能再也不能进行板块重组了。 |
