我是Wind, 以前是字幕組組長. 我每天早上聽寫1分鐘美劇, 已經堅持9個月了. 你想不想找一種輕鬆愉快的方式提升自己的英語? 跟我一起每天做聽寫吧!

Wind大長圖節選

-Dominatrix. -Don』t be alarmed. It』s to do with sex.

dominatrix=/?d?m??ne?tr?ks/

dominatrix=a woman who controls a man during sex, often using violence to give sexual pleasure

alarm做名詞表示鬧鐘/警報, 做動詞表示為某事緊張, 焦慮

比如我不想讓你緊張, 但是我們真的面臨一個大麻煩就可以說I don』t mean to alarm you, but we』re facing a serious problem.

it』s to do with=它跟….有關

-可以是it has to do with xxx, 也可以是it is to do with xxx, 兩個意思是一樣的

比如我不確定她是做什麼的, 反正是跟金融有關的. I』m not sure what she does, but it has to do with finance.

比如我的問題是和昨天的聽寫有關. My question is to do with yesterday』s dictation.
