【句子】Every year, Luke’s birthday falls right around Thanksgiving, and so it gets lost in the holiday shuffle. 【Modern Family-S1E9】
【发音】['evri] [jɪə(r)] [lu:ks] [ˈbɜ:(r)θ.deɪ] [fɔ:lz] [raɪt] [ə'raʊnd] ['θæŋks‚gɪvɪŋ] [ænd] [səʊ] [ɪt] [gets] [lɒst] [ɪn] [ðə] ['hɒlɪdeɪ] ['ʃʌfl]
【发音技巧】every不要丢音;birthday咬舌音[θ];fall长元音[ɔ:]不要读成双元音[aʊ];shuffle当中短元音[ʌ];
【翻译】每年Luke的生日都在感恩节附近,所以大家忙着过节,有点忽视他了。
【适用场合】有几点需要注意:① fall 在这里怎么理解?这里的话,明显fall是一个动词,但是也不表“掉落,坠落”,此处fall表示to come at a particular time or happen in a particular place。
eg: Easter falls late this year. 复活节今年来得比较晚。
eg: My birthday will fall on a Friday this year. 今年我的生日会在一个周五。
② shuffle 不要理解成洗牌;
be/get lost in the shuffle
to not be dealt with correctly because so many other things are being done at the same time
同时要处理的事情太多,某件事没有被处理好(a bad multi-tasker)
