语言详解
A: Here are those tools you wanted to borrow.
这些是你想要借的工具。
B: Thanks a million. I really appreciate it.
千恩万谢。我真的很感激。
【Save it. 你省省吧。】
save是“存,省下”的意思,而Save it.在对话中用做短句,意思是“省省吧。”,告诉对方多说无益。而save it for的句型也很常用,意思是“替……预留”,请看以下的实际例子:
A:I wasn't drinking, officer; I just didn't see the red light.
警官,我没有喝酒;我只是没看到红灯。
B:Save it for the judge.
这些话你留着去跟法官说吧。
A:I love this movie! I want to watch it, too.
我好爱这部电影!我也要去看。
B:OK. I'll save it for tonight when you get home from work.
好。我就把这部电影留到今晚,等你下班回家一起看。
