Wee Hours



A man asked his doctor, "Doc, my wife 1 has lost her voice 2. How can I help her get it back?"



The doctor replied 3, " Try coming home at four in the morning!"





Notes:



1. A man asked his doctor, "Doc, my wife has lost her voice."



一个男人问他的医生:“医生,我妻子失声了。”



2. How can I help her get it back?



我要怎么帮她恢复呢?



"get..back"是“使…回到原来状态”的意思,也可以指“送某人回某处”,如:He got 4 her back holeL他送她回饭店。



3. The doctor replied, " Try coming home at four in the morning!"



医生回答说:“试试看,在凌晨4点回家!”



"try + to + v.",表示“试著努力去完成某件亊情";而"try + v.-ing",表示“试着去做某件事”,没有努力的意思,只是纯粹试试看。



这真是个好办法,因为在那种情况下,妻子的潜能被激发了,想必这个医生也有过相同的经历,曾经因凌晨回家而被妻子怒斥。
