有關(guān)“Write off”小瞧的常用語(yǔ) Larry和李華一起去參觀(guān)藝術(shù)博物館。他們會(huì )用到一個(gè)常用語(yǔ):write something/someone off,意思是“小瞧,不看好;認為……不重要”。
LH: Larry, 你喜歡什么流派的藝術(shù)???現實(shí)主義還是抽象主義? L: I definitely prefer the realistic kind. Anybody can make abstract art! LH: 人人都能創(chuàng )作抽象派藝術(shù)作品?那好,你創(chuàng )作一個(gè)給我看看! L: Er ... I guess you're right. I shouldn't write off abstract artists so quickly. LH: Write them off? 這是什么意思? L: When you write something off, that means you decide that it isn't important. LH: 哦,就是小看,不看好的意思。你是說(shuō),你不該小瞧抽象派藝術(shù)家。 L: Right! Here is another example. In high school most people had written Jack off as an actor, so they were really surprised when he became a movie star years later. LH: 我明白了。高中時(shí)大家都覺(jué)得Jack肯定當不了演員,可后來(lái)他成了電影明星,所以大家都很吃驚。 L: That's right! LH: 對了Larry, 你說(shuō)這些藝術(shù)品的創(chuàng )作者一定都很有錢(qián)吧?他們的作品都賣(mài)得好貴哦! L: Actually I don't think so. Many great artists were written off in their own time, and people only started to appreciate them many years later. LH: 也是,好多藝術(shù)家在世的時(shí)候不被世人重視,總是死了之后才得到人們的認可,真可惜!哎, Larry, 你喜不喜歡畫(huà)畫(huà)? L: I thought of being an artist when I was a little kid, but I wrote that dream off a long time ago when I realized I was bad at drawing. LH: 哦,你發(fā)現自己畫(huà)畫(huà)不行,就放棄了當畫(huà)家的夢(mèng)想。 L: Yeah, but I still like to draw as a hobby. Even though I can't be a professional artist, giving it up even as a hobby would have been overkill. LH: 要不這樣吧,Larry, 把你最近畫(huà)的大作拿來(lái),跟我五歲時(shí)畫(huà)的兒童簡(jiǎn)筆畫(huà)比比,看看你有沒(méi)有達到我五歲時(shí)的水平? L: Very funny, Lihua. I'll write that off as a joke! |
