A:Where are you going?
你去哪兒?
B:I'll accompany my wife to the hospital.
我陪妻子去醫(yī)院。
A:What's wrong with her.
她怎么了?
B:She is expecting.
她懷孕了。
A:Congratulations to you.
祝賀你。
B:Thank you.
謝謝。
注釋:
1. be expecting 懷孕
講解:expect sb的意思是“確知某人要來而等待他”,正如一位準母親等待孩子出生的心情,所以expecting表示“懷孕”,該習語為非正規(guī)的口語表達方式。
Eg. Don't make your wife angry as she was expecting.
不要惹你的妻子發(fā)火,她懷著孕。
2. accompany sb to somewhere:陪某人去某處
Eg. Would you like to accompany me to my factory.
你愿意陪我去工廠嗎?
