原標(biāo)題:To while away the time 消磨時(shí)間
一個(gè)人在消磨時(shí)間的時(shí)候往往都會(huì)做一些輕松開心的事。‘To while away the time’ 純粹是為了放松而放松或者是以輕松的方式消磨時(shí)間以便等待其他事情。
例句
The film doesn’t start for another hour. Why don’t we while away the time with a walk in the park?
When I was a teenager I used to while away the time listening to music in my room.
請(qǐng)注意
如果一件事做起來值得,有益處,就可以用“worth your while”來表達(dá)。不過,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)短語多用于否定句,說明沒價(jià)值,不值得。
例句
It’s not worth your while going all the way into university for the meeting. It’ll only take about 10 minutes. Let’s do it online.
It’s not a great job. The pay is really bad and it’s only a two-week contract. I don’t think it’s even worth your while filling out an application.(來源:BBC英語教學(xué))
