迷你对话:

A: Have you found your watch?

你找到你的手表了吗?

B: Not yet, but I have looked high and low.

好没有呢,但是我到处找遍了。

A: Perhaps you lost in your office. I remembered you left it there last time.

也许,你把它落在办公室了吧。我记得上次你就忘在办公室了。

B: Yeah. Let me see. Perhaps I lost it in my drawer on Friday. Thank you for your reminding. You know it’s my birthday gift from my parents when I was fourteen. I like it very much.

是呀,让我想一想。也许星期五的时候我把它放在抽屉里了,谢谢你的提醒。你知道那块表是我十四岁的生日的时候父母送给我的生日礼物,我非常喜欢它。

地道表达:

look high and low

解词释义:

改词语的意思就是“高处低处都找遍了”,意即:到处找遍。

支持范例:

I looked high and low for the key but I could not find it .

我哪儿都找遍了,可是没找到那把钥匙。

I've looked high and low for my wallet.

我上上下下地找我的钱包。

Bill looked high and low for his lost shoe.

Bill到处找他丢了的那只鞋。

词海拾贝:

1. last time:上次

Eg. The last time (when) I saw him, he was quite well.

最后一次看到他时,他还相当健康。

Eg. You didn't get caught last time, but don't push your luck!

上次没把你抓住,可别再碰运气了!

2. a gift from:......送的礼物

Eg. I've received a gift from him, but I'm not going to accept it.

我收到了他送的礼物,但是我不准备接受。

Eg. To have such an easy examination paper is a gift from the God

碰到这样容易的考卷,那是老天爷的恩赐。

要点提示:

Let me see.

译文:让我想想。

讲解:see在这里的意思是“想想”。
