英语口语练习小对话 第133期:家丑外扬  

迷你对话：,A:The woman was beaten again. Why didn’t she call the police.,那个女人又挨打了，她为什么不报警呢？,B:Because it was her husband who beat her.,因为是她的丈夫打的她。,A:It is incredible.,真是不可思议。,B:She said that she didn’t want to foul her own nest.,她说他不想家丑外扬。,地道表达：,foul one’s own nest,解词释义：,foul作为动词，有“玷污，败坏”的意思，nest原意是指“鸟巢，鸟窝”，在此引申为“家”，foul one’s nest是习语，意思是“（给自己的家庭，家人，职业，国家等）带来耻辱”或“说自家人的坏话，家丑外扬”等。,支持范例：,any of you makes it know to others, he'll befouled his own nest.,要是你们有谁把这件事讲给外人听，就是将家丑外扬。,'ll talk about it when the guests have gone. Let's not foul our own nest.,咱们还是莫把家丑外扬，这件事等客人走后再说吧！,if I had done wrong you should not have reproached me in public to foul your own nest.,即使是我做错了事，你也不应该当众指责我-家丑不能外扬。,句型解析：,It was her husband who beat her.,这是强调句型，是对主语的强调。其结构为：It + 系动词 + 主语 + who + 其余成分。再如：,It is my English teacher who gave me a hand to survive my broken family.,我的家庭破裂了，是我的英语老师伸出援助之手让我挺过来了。,It was Tom that went to the cinema last night.,特别声明：该节目迷你对话选自口语书籍，其余讲解部分为恒星原创，未经恒星许可请勿转载。
