迷你对话: A :Would you mind going to dinner with me tonight? A :你今晚一起去吃饭如何? B :I'd love to go out with you, but I'm sorry I'm busy tonight, but I'd like a rain check. B : 我很愿意和你出去。可是非常抱歉我今晚有事。我们下次去,好吗? A :OK. A :好吧。 词海拾贝: 1.a rain check改天,下一次机会 讲解:如果你看比赛时,比赛因为下雨而中断,手中留着下次继续用的票根被称为“rain check”。凭借这票根可以改天看比赛。意识引申为“延期,改天”之义。 Eg.I can't make it to dinner tonight; but, can I take a rain check? 今天晚上我不能去吃晚饭,但是我们改天再吃好吗? Eg.I'd like to take a rain check on your invitation. 我希望你日后补请。 Eg.I won't have that coffee just now, but can I take a rain check on it? 我现在不能喝那杯咖啡了,下次再喝,好吗? Eg.They gave a rain check on a dance. 他们改期举行舞会。 2.mind doing:介意做某事 Eg. I wonder whether you would mind doing me a favor? 不知道你能不能帮我一个忙? Eg.Would one of you mind doing this for me, please? 你们俩谁帮我弄一下,好吗? Eg.I don't mind doing you a favor that costs me nothing. 顺水人情不妨做做。
