第23章 休闲口语(4)

Maria: Yes, except those inherited from my father, I have fifty albums of stamps.

Henry: Fifty! Great! And I think you must be a millionaire now.

Maria: Yes, but not a millionaire of money, but of spirit, say, from it I’ve learned a lot of knowledge, seen many beautiful places and made a great deal of friends and so on.

Henry: What you’ve said makes me itch to have a go. Is it too late for me to collect stamps now

Maria: No, not late at all. “The latecomers surpass the old-timers.” Have you ever heard the saying

Henry: Yes, I do hope so!

集邮

亨利:我听说你在集邮上花了许多时间和金钱。

玛丽亚:不,不算多。我只是利用业余时间,每月只花50元钱。

亨利:你什么时候开始集邮的?

玛丽亚:8岁。

亨利:噢,到现在你一定集了很多吧。

玛丽亚:是的,除了继承我爸爸的那些以外,我已经有50本邮册的邮票了。

亨利:50本!了不起!我想你现在一定是个百万富翁了。

玛丽亚:是的,但不是金钱上的百万富翁,而是精神上的百万富翁。比如说,我从中学到了许多知识,看到了许多美丽的地方,交了许多知心朋友等。

亨利:噢,你的话使我跃跃欲试。对我来说,现在开始集邮晚吗?

玛丽亚:不,一点都不晚。“后来者居上”,你没听说过吗?

亨利:听过,但愿如此!

Notes 注释

inherit [inherit] v. 继承

album [ 8lbm] n. 集邮簿

millionaire [miljn] n. 百万富翁

itch [it] v. 渴望

小叮咛

①When did you begin collecting stamps 你什么时候开始集邮的?begin: 开始。同样是表示“开始”,begin与start在用法上有很多不同:begin是普通用词,使用较广泛,后接动名词或动词不定式均可,多数情况下都可替代start,反义词为end。例如: They began learning/to learn English last year. 他们去年开始学英语。 而start较口语化,动作性较强,带有突然开始之意,其反义词为stop。start是及物动词,作“动身、发动”讲时,不可用begin替换。例如:He couldn’t start the car. 他发动不了那辆汽车。
