2017年下半年英语六级口语备考练习(47)
核心句型:
Our vacation plan will go up in smoke.我们的假期将要泡汤了。
go up in smoke直译过来就是:“像烟一样消失了”,这个短语的正确意思是:“某事被彻底破坏”。因此,当美国人说"Our vacation plan will go up in smoke."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"Our vacation plans may go up in flames."、"Our vacation plan will fall through."。
情景对白:
Benjamin: Honey, there is a crisis in the office. Our vacation plans will go up in smoke.
本杰明:亲爱的,办公室里出了问题,我们的假期将要泡汤了。
Shirley: Oh, my God! We have planned to go to Hawaii for a travel this weekend.
雪莉:哦,天哪,我们都计划好这周末去夏威夷旅行了。
搭配句积累:

②Oh, what a pity!

③I'm sorry to have let you down.

④It doesn't matter. We can go next time.
