【英语早间课堂】A Bachelor Girl

 Good morning , my buddies¹. I am Juliet and I am glad to meet you via network. I will receive a group of ballet dancers from America so I'm sorry to day that I haven't much time to share more with you. Today I won't beat around the bush and get down to today's five-minute programme. Still , I am hoping that you would spend a wonderful morning with me together.

大家早上好，我是JULIET， 很高兴又和大家在空中见面了。今天由于我要接待来自英国的芭蕾舞舞蹈家们，时间比较紧，今早就不多说了，直接进入我们5分钟的早间节目，希望能和大家在此度过一个美好的清晨。

This morning I would like to talk about a type of female² who hasn't been married and can support herself on her own, not depend on others. What's it? Let's listen to a simple situational dialogue and you can get the answer.

A : Do you know Sally? B : Sally? She's a bachelor girl. She's an excellent designer. Many of the company advertisements are her child trains. A: Why is she still single? She must have a face that would stop a clock.

B : oh, it's quite the other way round. She is a knock-out. She devotes much of his time to her career.

【精彩点拨】

Now have you found it ?【Juliet,is it a bachelor girl?】yeah , Lucy , you are smart as a whip³. Right , it is " a bachelor girl". Bachelor 意思是“未婚男人”，也就是我们所说的“单身汉”，但是当与girl连用时就转指女人了, 而且是指“不依靠别人自己维持生活的女人”，类式于我们中文里说的“女强人”。
