期望expect[英][ɪk'spekt] [美][ɪkˈspɛkt] 中英文故事：想念圣诞节（4） 蒂姆站在那儿，像个第一次捉到鸟的小男孩，只不过他扶着的是一棵圣诞树。更确切地说，那原来可以做一棵圣诞树，可现在却不行了。围巾把我的嘴捂得严严实实的，我张嘴咕哝了几句。 蒂姆把他的围巾从嘴上拉开，咧嘴笑了。“就叫我查理•布朗吧。”他说。那棵树光秃秃的，松针几乎全没了。蒂姆向我描述说，他用斧子每砍一下树，上面的松针就会像雨点般落下。在零下50度的天气里，他还能期望什么呢？ He stood there like a little boy who’d just bagged his first bird. Only it was a Christmas tree he held on to. Or rather, it had been a Christmas tree. My mouth fell open and I sputtered through a mouth full of scarf. Tim putled his away from his mouth and grinned. “Just call me Charlie Brown,” he said. The tree was almost bare. Tim de¬scribed how the needles rained down with every blow of the axe. What else did he ex¬pect at fifty below? 中英文例句 1. They don't expect you to be the most knowledgeable. 他们不期望你学识渊博。 2.
