[size=5]各种各样的水都是用water表示吗?[/size][size=4]水,不光是喝的水,还有矿泉水,纯净水,洗澡水,等等,都用water来表示吗?看看就知道了。[/size]
[size=4]1. [color=blue]Is this tap water? No. It's bottled water.
这是自来水吗?不,这是瓶装水。[/color] [/size]
[size=4] 自来水的[/size][url=http://e.3edu.net/][size=4][color=#1f3a87]英文[/color][/size][/url][size=4]就是 tap water 或是 running water,而一般瓶装的水则叫 bottled water。切记,虽然我们中文讲“矿泉水”习惯了,所以有时候mineral water就跑出来了,其实这是不对的。老美是不这样讲的,他们只说瓶装水(bottled water) 而不说矿泉水(mineral water)。 [/size]
[size=4]2. [color=blue]I am running the bath water.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=blue] 我正在放洗澡水。[/color] [/size]
[size=4] 中文的“放洗澡水”在英文里成了run the bath water 或是fill the tub。这个tub就是指洗澡用的大浴缸。[/size]
[size=4]3. [color=blue]I need to take some water. [/color][/size]
[size=4][color=blue] 我需要喝点水。[/color] [/size]
[size=4] 喝水要怎么讲?通常我们会很直觉地想到 "I need to drink some water."。所以像饮用水就叫drinking water。其实老美们也常用"I want to take some water."。所以喝水不一定要用 drink water,用take water 也可以。 [/size]
[size=4] 另外有个词跟喝水有关也值得一学,就是饮水机(drinking fountain)。但是记得,有时候drinking fountain也可以指速食店的那种汽水机,所以使用上要多加小心。[/size]
