本届平昌冬奥会,很多运动员都打破了世界纪录。在英语口语里说到打破纪录,我们常常会用到break a record。今天来讲讲它的多样表达。
1. set a record
They want to set a record by making Buffalo's largest cookie.
他们想打破布法罗最大的曲奇的纪录。
I checked the sales receipts, and we've just set a record.
我看过了营业额,我们刚创下新纪录。
【小知识】
如果说set/put the record straight,就跟打破纪录没多大关系了,它的意思是陈述真相;澄清是非。
She's decided to write her memoirs to set the record straight once and for all.
她决定撰写回忆录以彻底澄清事实。
2. chalk up records
chalk sth up的意思是获(胜);得(分),比如:
New world records in the track and field events are chalked up from time to time in the past few years.
近几年来经常出现新的世界田径纪录。
3. create/establish/make/register a new record
She established a new European record in the high jump.
她创造了欧洲跳高的新纪录。
4. beat/smash/shatter a previous record
beat、smash和shatter都有打、打破的意思,这几个词是不是比break更激烈更生动呢?
She beat the world record in the three events she entered on her way to two gold medals and a silver.
她在三项竞赛中打破了世界纪录,获得两枚金牌和一枚银牌。
The film shattered all previous box office records.
这部电影打破了以往所有的票房纪录。
5. surpass all previous records
surpass的意思是超过,优于,胜过,比如:
His time for the 100 meters surpassed the previous world record by one hundredth of a second.
他以0.01秒的优势打破了100米短跑的前世界纪录。
形容出乎意料就可以用到这个词哦:
The book's success has surpassed everyone's expectations.
这本书获得了出乎所有人意料的成功。
口语里也有刷新纪录的表达,可以 好啦,既然本篇重点就是record,介绍两个习语吧。
①off the record 私下说的;不供发表的
She made it clear that her comments were strictly off the record.
她说得很清楚,她的这些评论绝不许对外公布。
②on the record 公开发表;公开表明
