四个nerd加一个金发小傻妞这部美剧,在座的各位应该都有看过吧~(没有看过的宝宝们莫慌,抱紧我,今天开始Monica老师带你一起撩一撩《生活大爆炸》中的那些GRE词汇)
TBBT这部美剧,看过的朋友都知道,里面的大多数角色都特别“学术”,张口闭口离不开GRE词汇,听完让人眼前一亮,心中顿生holy high的感觉。加以整理,配上相关的GRE练习题,实在是居家旅行,杀G斩T,必备良剧。
场景一:Lenard邀谢耳朵与新邻居Penny打招呼
-Leonard: I'm going to invite her over.
We'll have a nice meal and... chat.
-Sheldon: Chat? We don't chat. At least not offline.
-Leonard: Well, it's not difficult. You just listen to what she says and then you say something appropriate in response.
从对话我们可以看出,在Lenard邀谢耳朵去跟新邻居美少女Penny打招呼的时候,谢耳朵一开始是拒绝的。但为(色)爱(迷)痴(心)狂(窍)的Lenard为了美少女,还是找了一个牵强的理由,强拉好基友一起壮胆。
场景词汇:
我们一起来学习对话中出现的【appropriate】这个词。【词根拆解: ap-表加强 + propri- “占用”】;【adj. 合适的,恰当的 v. 占用】【propri- “占用” 同根词拓展:1. property n. 财产,所有权 2. proprietary adj. 私人所有的】
场景二:Penny谈前男友
-Penny: You want to know the most pathetic part?
Even though I hate his lying, cheating guts...I still love him. Is that crazy?
-Sheldon: Yes.
-Leonard: No, it's not crazy. It's uh... uh... it's a paradox. The paradoxes are part of nature. Think about light. If you look at Huygens, light is a wave, as confirmed by the double-slit experiment, but then along comes Albert Einstein and discovers that light behaves like particles, too.
在对话中,Penny提及前男友这种生物,泪水涟涟。Lenard用光的波粒二象性来安慰失恋的Penny。(笔者碎碎念:在你伤心的时候,身边有个愿意听你倾诉,用科学理论安慰你的朋友,你就嫁了吧。)
场景词汇:
我们一起来学习对话中出现的【paradox】这个词。 【n. 悖论,矛盾对立的事物】(这个词经常作为gre填空中的线索词,句子中出现paradox说明存在两个对象,这两个对象为矛盾对立关系)【类似功能的词还有:irony, contradiction等 】
