[1]How often do you go to the internet?上网我们一般说成to go to the internet,但它还有另一种说法,叫Surf the net{网上冲浪}

[2]Does this computer have the internet?这台电脑能上网吗?这句话虽然未在对话中出现,但似乎很多人都组织不好语言表达这个意思。看这句话你会发现老外们总是喜欢用最简单的语言来表辞达意。

[你可以请外教反复帮你模仿/训练下面句子/词组的正宗美式发音]

[1]shake it off口语中这句话表示“算了吧,忘了吧”相当于我们长说的Forget it。

[2]I won,t hold my breath.这句话的表面意思是我才不会憋气呢。因为憋时间长了会憋死,所以它的引申含义是“我才不信你的鬼话呢。”

[3]You,re on.又是一句让人摸不到头脑的话,它表示“就这么定了”。如果有人和你打赌,你就可以和他说“Ok.You are on.”。
