英语中有很多简单的单词组合在一起,意思却非常有趣,比如raining dogs and cats,明明是狗和猫,其实是倾盆大雨的意思。而今天所要学习的Big name,其实也不是“大名字”的意思,那究竟是什么呢?学习下下面的句子你就一清二楚啦!
New Words:
look forward to:期待,后接名词/动名词
take some time off: 休息一段时间
collaborate [kə´læbəreɪt] vi. 合作;
Example One:
The big names in American fast food are now well known all over the world. McDonald´s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Burger King sell pizzas, chips, hot dogs, hamburgers and fried chicken from Los Angeles to London and Tokyo to Turin.
美国快餐业的巨头现在全球闻名。从洛杉矶到伦敦,从东京到都灵,都有麦当劳、肯德基和汉堡王出售匹萨饼、薯条、热狗、三明治和炸鸡块。
Example Two:
-I was actually looking forward to taking some time off.
我其实想暂时休一段时间的假。
-What? That is the worst idea I´ve ever heard. You´re the biggest name in TV right now.
什么 这真是我听过最蠢的主意。你现在是电视剧界的头号明星。
总结: big name有知名人士;知名品牌或是众所周知的事情的意思
