【重点词汇讲解】
# C3 y, z& q0 L$ O4 \- @- U 1. It's really something. 这真挺……真挺特别的哈
( {- V9 t% [: _' X. ~% e0 \ something在这里是泛指某样你无法形容的东西~王子明显被这个生日礼物雷到了，但是又不好明说，只能打个马虎眼了~类似于我们平时说的“哎呀，看这生日礼物，真是，啧啧”，其实啥都没说……
6 X4 m, d1 o1 u8 @ 2. Don't start 你又来了# {3 }$ R, }6 E
字面意思是“别说了，别提了”。) @: F! N5 B- E O$ O
3. fall for the princess 爱上这位公主
0 w' n9 G" |# T. i% M fall for sb.的这个词组很像中文里的“倾心于某人、为某人倾倒、拜倒在某人的石榴裙下”一类的说法，也是“对某人动心了”的口语表达，很地道哦。明显这里Ariel已经fall for the Prince了~7 g* i% U; S5 u& R) a
4. settle down 安定下来
& x, j. @5 a3 @# A; r! H, |5 P 一般我们说的结了婚安顿下来的表达，就是这个settle down，和四处漂泊的波西米亚式生活正相反。 |
