标准答案

A: Are you finished?
B: Well, not yet.
A: What on earth are you waiting for?
B: It takes time to determine if I'm right or wrong.

A: 你好了吗?
B: 哦,还没。
A: 你到底在等些什么?
B: 我需要花点时间来查明我是对是错。


重点解说:

★ "on earth"的意思近于中文的「到底」「究竟」,"in the world"也具有同样的含义,"the hell"或"in the hell"则是较粗鄙的说法,这几个用语在口语中经常使用,扮演着强调疑问句或否定句的功能,如Where on earth did you get that?「那个你到底是从哪取得的?」What in the world happened?「究竟发生什么事?」Where in the hell have you left my car?「你到底把我的车放在哪里?」

★ take time「花费时间」cf. Take your time.「请慢慢来。」

★ determine在此意为「查明(=find out)」,如Have they determined the cause of death?「他们已经查明死因了吗?」cf. determining factor「决定性的因素」
