DIALOG 26
BARRY IS UNUSUAL
1--Have you met Barry?
2--I think so, but I don't remember what he looks
like.
1--He's a most unusual person.
2--What do you mean by unusual?
3--You'll understand when you see him.
2--You mean it's his physical appearance?
1--Not exactly. There's a certain way that he has of
speaking and choosing his words that's unique.
But that's not what I'm talking about.
3--That's part of it. But it goes beyond speech. I
guess it's what some people call "charisma".
2--Oh, that. Now I know what you're talking about.
I'm just full of it!
1--Ha,ha.Big joke!
===================================
注解:
1)most=very常用來加強(qiáng)語氣。如:It's most kind of you!/
He thanked her for a most enjoyable party./It's most
dangerous to drive drunk.
2)There's a certain way...unique:此句中的兩個(gè)that
從句都是way的定語從句。第一個(gè)從句說:he has a certain
way of speaking and choosing his words。第二個(gè)從句說
his way is unique.unique:獨(dú)特的;獨(dú)一無二的。
3)go beyond speech:難于用語言表達(dá)。類似的短語有:
beyond words/beyond expression/beyond description
4)charisma:超凡的魅力,神授的能力。
