gre先考什么 GRE新手考前和考场上最容易出哪些问题( 三 )


2 moonshine n. 空谈;纸上谈兵
晚上的月光亮起来了,别幻想了,打住吧!快看英文解释 。moonshine 就是empty talk 的意思 。
If you say that someone's thoughts, ideas, or comments are moonshine, you think they are foolish and not based on reality.
例句:The lesson taught by the crash and the Great Depression was that the glorious dream of a self-regulating economy, free of government intervention and supervision, was moonshine.

如果你的脑子生出了孩子,太可怕啦,没关系,不是脑残也不是脑瘤,而是你辛辛苦苦想出来的东西!

例句: Facebook, the brainchild of Mark Zuckerberg while he was still studying at Harvard University, launched in February 2004.
4 deadpan adj. 面无表情的 n. 故意板脸搞笑
一个要死的平底锅?别逗了,这就是冰冰上课最常见的,板着脸!所以deadpan这个反义词,就是我们上课经常提到的demonstrative或者expressive 。demonstrative哪里见过?忘了小时代的经典片段了吗?undemonstrative panache!
而我们经常也会说deadpan humor 。
Deadpan humor is when you appear to be serious and are hiding the fact that you are joking or teasing someone.
5 sidestep v. 回避,绕开
往边上迈一步?看来这个是意思最直接的一个词了 。没错就是跟circumvent和bypass一样的意思 。

用地道口头禅扩大GRE词汇量
从老外的口头禅中记新GRE考试词汇 。学习老外的口头禅不仅有利于我们了解国外的文化,同时同学们可利用这个机会记忆新GRE单词,下面为大家整理了一些口头禅,一起来看一下吧 。
1. You bet.没错 。
Bet是下赌注的意思,所以"You bet."就是指,"You can bet money on that." (你可以把钱压在这上面),言下之意,就是说这件事百分之百正确 。
例如:-Is this the way to High Tower Museum?这是往高塔博物馆的路吗?
-You bet."一点也没错 。
2. There you go.就这样了 。
"There you go."是老外希望结束一段对话时,很自然会脱口而出的一句话,特别是在完成某项交易的时候 。像是你去买一样东西,当你付完钱之后店员会说,"There you go."或"That’sit."就表示交易已经完成,你可以离开了 。
