详细解说
❶ “on the/one's way to”意为“在去某处的路上”,例如:The fleet1 is on the way
to Somali waters.(舰队正在去往索马里海域的路上。)
❷ “brand-new”的意思是“全新的,崭新的”。
❸ “anyway”意为“无论如何,不管怎样,反正”,“anyways”与其同义,但主要
用于美国口语,属非正式用语。例如:This idea probably won't work, but let's
try it anyway.(这个点子有可能不管用,不过不管怎么样我们还是试试
吧。)It may rain, but we shall go anyways.(也许会下雨,不过无论如何我
们都会去。)
❹ “a couple of”表示“两三个,几个”。
❺ “as well”意为“另外也,又”,常用于句尾,相当于“too”,例如:Why don't
you come along as well?(你为什么不也一块来呢?)
