3分鐘學(xué)英語(yǔ) [235]:In poor taste不是"窮品味"的意思哦

情景對(duì)話：

-I think we should go through with it.
-Really? Wouldn't that be in poor taste?
-No. It's sort of a way to honor Mary Alice. It was so important to her.

今日知識(shí)點(diǎn)：
Wouldn't that be…?
那不會(huì)...../那不就是…嗎?
【例句一】
A: Let's just keep the extra money we made from this sale.
今天買(mǎi)東西多出來(lái)的錢(qián)我們就自己留著吧。
B: Wouldn't that be stealing? It doesn't feel right.
那不就是偷嗎?這樣不對(duì)。
【例句二】
A: How about we both just start working on it and see who's is better?
要不要我們一起開(kāi)始做這個(gè)，然后看誰(shuí)做的更好?
B: Wouldn't that be inefficient? I think it's better if we just split the work.
那樣不會(huì)沒(méi)有效率嗎?我覺(jué)得我們還是分工比較好。

In poor taste
不得體，不禮貌
【例句一】
He made the joke in poor taste, but I don't really think he was trying to offend you.
他開(kāi)了一個(gè)不得體的玩笑，但是我不覺(jué)得他就是想冒犯你。

繼續(xù)劇情：

-We could all use a fun night.

-Lynette?
-I'm in.
