英语口语练习小对话 第191期:孤独无助  

迷你对话：
A: I always feel I’m left high and dry with nobody to rely on.,A:我经常感觉到自己孤独无助，没有人可以信赖。,B: Don’t be fool. I’ll always side with you.,B:别傻了，我会永远支持你。,A: I appreciate your kindness.,A:谢谢你的好意。,地道表达：,high and dry,解词释义：,high和dry词义分别为“高的”和“干燥的”。该习语直接翻译是“该东西高高挂起，就容易边干”，其寓意就像“曲高和寡”一样，可以引申为“孤独无助”。通常它和leave连用，而且多用于被动语态中。,支持范例：,When the factory closed down, the workers were left high and dry.,工厂倒闭后，工人们的生活没有着落。,He left her high and dry in a strange country without any money.,他把她遗弃在异国他乡, 身无分文, 处于困境.,When you go away, I'll be left high and dry.,你一走，就剩下我孤单单的一个人了。,There I was, high and dry in a strange city with only five dollars in my pocket.,我被抛弃在一个陌生的城市里，口袋里只有5元美元。,The cruel man took all the money and left his own grandmother high and dry.,这个残酷的人把所有的钱财都拿走了，撇下他自己的外祖母一人无依无靠。,词海拾贝：,1. rely on：依靠，依赖,Eg. Don' t rely on him to do anything he' s just a big talker.,什么事都不要依靠他--他光会说空话。,Eg. You can rely on me to keep your secret.,你尽管相信我一定为你保密。,Eg. Don't rely on his memory: he's a bit of a dreamer.,要相信他的记忆力－－他有点神不守舍的。
Eg. The question is whom we should rely on in the struggle.,问题是在这一斗争中我们应当依靠谁。,2. side with：支持，拥护
