每天一词(3) accommodate

(2007-03-14 02:16:04)
 

accommodate 房屋容纳人是 accommodate

the room can have 400 people in 这种土句子不要写了:)

The ballroom can accommodate 400 people.

 

房间用来安置某些人,同样也能用这个单词 相当于allocate

比如说小贝来中国,

Beck-ham was accommodated in the best room of the hotel.

小贝被安排在最好的房间住。

 

  如果你很会安置自己,那就是一个适应力很强的人,

I can easily accommodate myself to changed circumstances.

He alone is wise who can accommodate himself to all contingencies of life; but the fool contends, and struggles like a swimmer against the stream.

智者懂得顺应生命中的变化,而愚者抗拒他们,正如逆流中的泳者。

 

 accommondating 加了ing 变成了形容辞形式,如果你特别懂得安置别人,懂得把人放在合适的地方,你就是体贴和善解人意的 accommondating

有人这样形容咨询公司的经理们。

They're being very polite and accommodating. They're doing everything they can to tell you nothing.”

  他们彬彬有礼,他们善解人意,他们讲一切所能什么都不告诉你。

doing everything they can do to tell you nothing 这个表达就很好玩。

可以稍微扩展以下,比如说

 Lawyers are doing everything guilt to make you innocent.

 Psychos are doing everything crazy to make you sage.

 

兄弟,这是个冷幽默,你好歹笑一下吧
