WORLD BOOK DAY
2018年4月23日
世界讀書日,也被稱為世界圖書和版權(quán)日,在每年的4月23日。它是由聯(lián)合國教科文組織主辦,目的在于在鼓勵我們閱讀,出版和保護(hù)版權(quán)。提到“書”,我們都能想到book這個詞。但在英語中,book 還可以用在以下這幾個短語中,可不要理解錯了呀!
open book
If someone is an open book, it is easy to know what they are thinking and feeling.Open book 意思為極坦率的人;一目了然的事物。
有些同學(xué)一看到open book 就想翻譯為打開書,那就大錯特錯啦!
It is just like you are reading an open book, you can read what the person is thinking or feeling easily.我們可以這樣理解:打開書讀書的時候你能了解別人的情感和思想,就引申為一目了然的事物。
例句
He is an open book.他是一個極其坦率的人。
I have no secrets. My life is an open book.
我沒有什么秘密,我的生活都是人盡皆知的事情。
closed book

in my book
In my book 放于句首的時候,與in my opinion,I think 意思一樣。意為“我認(rèn)為”,后面加表達(dá)自己觀點的句子。
