今天在腾讯
教育网上看到以下一段对话：两个同事在离开
办公室的时候互相交谈： Tracy: Hey Lily! How's it going? (greet) Lily: Good. Just headed to meet my husband at the movies. (respond) Tracy: Oh really? (follow-up) What are you going to see? (initiate) Lily: Hopefully Lord of the Rings, if it's not sold out. (respond) Tracy: Oh yeah, the theater can get really busy on Friday night. Good luck! (follow-up) Lily: Tell me about it! See you Monday. (respond) 最后一句为什么是 'Tell me about it!‘ ? 感觉风马牛不相及，为什么？
除了'tell me about it!‘ 有这种与表面文字意思相差较大的用途外，还有‘What else is new？’也挺有趣，表面意思是‘还有什么新的吗？’：举个例子：A：Hey, do you know the new governor is going to cut the funding for education?嘿，你听没晌皮说了吗？新州长要削减教育经费呢！B: What else is new? We all know he represents big businesses. Education is not his top priority.那有什么稀奇的？我们早就知道他一向代枯差表大公司的利益，教育不是他最关心的事。在这里，What else is new表示，这种谨碧结局是预料之中的事，不算什么新闻。所以，根据上下文，也可译为“这算不上什么新闻”。再比如：A：Yesterday my daughter gave me a gift wish list for her 15th birthday. Among other things she asks for a lap-top computer!昨天，我女儿给我开了一个单子，列举了她15岁生日想要的礼物。其中竟然有一台便携式
电脑！B: What else is new? At least she hasn't asked for a car. Wait till next year！那有什么稀奇的？她至少没让你送她一辆车。明年你等着瞧吧！ 查看原帖>>
