大家好。我叫詹姆斯,是个购物狂。
shopaholic表示购物狂,更加具体指的是购物成瘾、购物停不下来的人。
The main source of my addiction is Taobao, China’s massive online shopping platform - a repository for everything from money guns to fake muscles, and everything in between. Its offerings are so varied and its vendors so diverse, that it makes Amazon look like a corner shop. 我的购物瘾主要来自中国大型线上购物平台——淘宝。它堪称一个包罗万象的仓库,从喷钞枪到仿真肌肉,应有尽有。淘宝商品种类繁多,商家一应俱全,相比之下亚马逊就像个街角小铺。 China’s massive online shopping platform作为同位语补充说明前文提到的Taobao。 随后,破折号引出进一步解释说明:a repository for everything from money guns to fake muscles, and everything in between,这里repository是名词,表示“仓库,宝库”。 他充满各种各样的知识。 My particular vice is mostly guitars and their associated paraphernalia and, much to my girlfriend’s chagrin, knock-off football shirts.我剁手的典型惯犯主要是买吉他及其周边产品,以及我女友看不惯的山寨球衣。 vice [vaɪs] n. 缺点,恶习 往往是那种习惯性却不是很大的毛病,这里指作者的冲动消费。 paraphernalia表示有关事物,周边产品。 paraphernalia [ˌpærəfəˈneɪliə] n. 随身用具,有关事物 例句: laboratory paraphernalia 实验室设备 and, much to my girlfriend’s chagrin,这里是一个插入语,chagrin做名词表示“懊恼气氛”,这种情绪的来源可能是受到羞辱、遭受失败,或是对什么事情感到非常失落。 chagrin [ˈʃægrɪn] n. 懊恼,气愤 例句: Much to his chagrin, he did not win the race. 使他大为懊恼的是他赛跑没获胜。 v. 使懊恼 例句: He was chagrined to learn that his help was not needed. 得知自己的帮助并不被需要,他很懊恼。 那让女友非常懊恼的是什么呢?是knock-off football shirts,即山寨的足球衫。 指廉价低质量的复制品、山寨货。 想了解更多全日制英语课程情况,请扫码加曾老师微信:
