年少不经事时
小小的心脏能装得下的烦恼
最常见可能是考试考砸了
但最让人心碎的或许是
“我失恋了,我们失去了彼此”
不过看到“You lost me”
可别以为是恋人们分手时的控诉
01
You lost me 是什么意思?
首先,我们来看下英文词典对它的释义:
Oxford Learner's Dictionaries
通过释义,这个表达的意思就很明显了:“You lost me”=我听不懂;我很困惑
例:
I was with you for most of the story, but you lost me when you started talking about vampires.
你讲的故事我大部分能跟上,但是你开始讲吸血鬼时我就已经听不懂了。
02
“我听不懂”的其它表达方式
1.you got me there
它的意思,并不是“你得到我了”,而是“你把我难住了;你把我搞糊涂了”。
You have got me there. It beats me.
我想不出来,你考倒我了。
Raj:If we having this argument in my native language, I'd be kicking your butt.
Sheldon:English is your native language.
Raj:Okay, you got me there, but you're wrong about this!
-如果这会儿是用我的母语在跟你争论,我早就把你杀得片甲不留。
-英语本来就是你的母语啊。
-好吧,这个让你说对了,但这边你确实错了。
2.It beats me
这个表达,可不是“打我”的意思哦~
先来看看剑桥词典对它的解释:
said when you do not understand a situation or someone's behaviour.
当您不了解情况或某人的行为时说。
也就是说,“It beats me”的意思其实是:“这可难倒我了,这可考倒我了”。
Your question beats me.
你这个问题令我迷惑不解。
It beats me how she found her lost ring.
我难以理解她怎么能找到她那遗失的戒指。
-Do you know what's going to happen?
-Beats me.Let's give it a try and see what happens.
-你知道会发生什么吗?
-我不知道,我们来试试看会发生什么。
-When does the party start?
-Beats me. Look at the message she sent.
-生日聚会什么时候始啊?
-我不知道,看看她发给你的信息。
3.It's beyond me
字面意思是“这超过了我”,也就是“我无法理解,超越认知范围了”的意思。
It's beyond me why she wants to marry Jeff.
我无法理解她为什么要嫁给杰夫。
It's beyond me to explain these.
要解释这些我力所不及。
It's beyond me why she is always late.
我不明白为什么她老是迟到。
再来补充几个“听不懂”的表达↓↓↓
① I don't get it.我不懂;我不明白。
② It confused me.我不明白;我感到困惑。
③ I'm not following.我跟不上你的思路;我不明白你在说什么。
④ I don't understand.我不懂;我不明白。
在表示“迷路”时,get lost和be lost的区别
Difference between get lost and be lost
get (= "become") indicates a change of state
get等于become暗示了一种状态的变化
be describes someone's situation, without referring to getting into or out of that situation
be描述某人的处境,没有涉及进入或脱离那种情况
Basically, you have to get/become lost before you can be lost. They're not quite the same thing!
基本上,在你be lost之前,你必须先get/become lost。它们不完全是一回事!
-What did you do in London? / What happened to you in London?
你在伦敦做了什么?或者是你在伦敦怎么了
– I got lost!✔
我迷路了!
- What happened in London?
在伦敦发生了什么?
– I was lost. ✘
我迷路。
– I didn't ask what you were, I asked what you did!
我不是问你是什么,我是问你做了什么!
好啦,今天的小知识点,你学会了嘛?
