Tommy注释:
①looking for=searching for这两个词组都表示寻找。其中search后面可以直接跟名词,比如:I have been searching you for a while. 我已经找你很久了。
②play it through表示进行到底,在文章中表示(认真)倾听(全部听完)。
③with no direction=without direction都表示没有方向。
④means nothing表示失去了意义,那么意义深远用英语怎么说呢?没错,可以说:means a lot比如说:It means a lot to me. 那件事儿对我来说意义深远。
⑤pour out 动词词组,表示倾泻。比如:I poured my thoughts out on paper in an attempt to rationalize my feelings. 我将自己的想法倒出,写在纸上以求理顺情绪。
⑥open road翻译过来不是:打开的道路,而是:宽阔的道路。同时,如果你说一个人很open,那么这个人一定是一个open-minded的人,表示能接受新思想的、开明的,而不是“开放的”。
