英语早间课堂:原来如此,我这才明白
Hi, everyone! This is Keke Net English. Welcome to Juliet’s Morning English Class. As a saying runs. “An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. ” And a nother saying goes, “An early bird catches the worm. ” So, what are you going to get at this morning? Do follow me and I am hoping that we can spend a wonderful and meaningful time here.
课题详解：
We’ve a way to indicate that the reason for something happening can now be understood. It is like to say “I see the reason why...”. Guess what it is. Let’s listen to the following mini situational dialogue to get the answer.
(Scene:It happens between two persons who are talking about wine. )
A:I left a bottle of wine outside your door last night.
(译文：昨晚我把一瓶酒忘在你家门口了。)
B:I wondered where it came from. That explains it.
(译文：我还说哪儿来的一瓶酒了，这下明白了。)
Have you got the answer? It is “That explains it.” The Chinese for it is—— “原来如此”。or “我这才明白。” Here are some short sentences well-picked from hit American films or TV series. Let’s take a look at:
1.Oh, okay, that explains it. I got a call at two two in the morning.
(哦，原来如此呀，难怪我凌晨2点钟接到电话。)
Tip: “to get a call” means to “receive a call”.
2.That explains it. You have a major crush on her.
(原来是这样啊，你彻底被她迷住了。)
Tip: “to have a rush on sb” is an idiom which means “to have feelings for sb, or love sb”. For another example:
Our English teacher seems to have a crush on Mary who is our classmate.
(译文：我们的英语老师似乎对班上同学Mary有点意思了。)
In addition, here is a sentence which is similar to saying “That explains it.” It is “It all adds up.” For example:
1.It all adds up. You aced it in the final exam because you had cheated in it.
(译文：原来如此，你在期末考试得满分是因为你作弊而得到的。)
2.It all adds up. She has done anyone else such an unscrupulous shot in the eye because she is the boss’s pet.
(译文：哦，我这才明白，她如此肆无忌惮地恶意中伤每个人，是因为她是老板的宠物。)
课堂互动：
Okay, next I need your cooperation——be active and answer my questions, finishing listening to the above dialogue again. First of all, I tell you myquestions. It is:
What does B confused about? And what does he wonder?
Now, listen:
A:I left a bottle of wine outside your door last night.
B:I wondered where it came from. That explains it.
Thesuggestive answersis:
A is confused about the bottle of wine left outside his door. He wonders where it came from.
课堂总结：
Today we’ve learned one short sentence used in spoken English. One is——That explains it; the other is——It all adds up. Both of them means “I see the reason why...”
结尾语：
Let’s call it a day and be an early bird tomorrow morning to watch over Juliet’s Morning English Class from Keke Net English. Juliet is here. See you next time.
