全网最酷美语怎么说:第42期 好巧啊

 　　Nick: Hi everybody, this is Nick. Welcome to teaching series "how do you say this in American English."

　　Nick:大家好，我是Nick.

　　Brad: 大家好，我是Brad

　　Nick: 今天来讲解，"巧"要怎么去对应英文表达。比如说，你去逛街，遇到一个朋友，也在逛街，你可以会说，好巧啊在这里碰见你。或者说你去吃饭，遇到了一个不认识出名的人，比如说周杰伦。同样的，你也可以说好巧啊，居然在这里看到周董。

　　Nick: what's up, brad?

　　Brad: What's up, Nick

　　Nick: I am so gonna run something by you. I'm so thrilled right now.

　　Brad: What? What makes you look so happy?

　　Nick: You know what? I ran into Scarlet¹ Johansson when I was in New York yesterday! I cannot believe it! I mean what are the chances?!

　　Brad: Oh my gosh is it really? What a coincidence?!

　　Nick: Yeah it's a small world. I never thought about that. I never thought about meeting a such a celebrity² in person in my life.

　　Brad: You are lucky. Unlike me, I bumped into my ex-girlfriend on campus, I haven't talked to her since we broke up. That was awkward to see her unexpectedly. I mean, what are the odds³?

　　Nick: Oh I'm sorry, I can tell how awkward you were.

　　Brad: Yeah it was pretty bad. I just can't believe the chances of that happening.

　　Nick:我们刚刚就是说，遇到某人，我们用非常多的表达方式，我们可以用what are the chances 或者是what a coincidence或者是what are the odds，或者是what a small world,有非常多的方式来表达好巧啊遇到你。这几个都是我们常用的。可能中国学生汇比较熟悉what a coincidence ，单词本身就是巧合的意思。但其实其他方法我们也常用。So this is pretty much it for today's class. I'll see you guy next time, bye.

　　Brad: Bye everyone
