內(nèi)容簡介

雖然有時在生活、工作或?qū)W習(xí)中犯小錯誤在所難免，但我們?nèi)詴蚍稿e誤而感到自責(zé)。英語中有一個表達(dá)可以用來安慰他人 “誰都難免會犯這種錯誤，不要過于糾結(jié)，要向前看”。本期節(jié)目就來介紹這個實用表達(dá)的含義和用法。

Welcome to Authentic Real English, with me, Neil…

Feifei
And me, Feifei.

Neil
Sometimes when someone makes a mistake, we need to let them know that 'everyone makes mistakes, and they should try not to worry about it too much' – the expression we say is 'it happens to the best of us'.

Feifei
It happens to the best of us. Neil，給我們舉幾個例子吧？

Neil
Sure. Yesterday, my friend told me that he missed a deadline at work. He felt terrible about it, but I said, "Don't worry, it happens to the best of us."

Feifei
It happens to the best of us. 這種事情大家都會碰到，在所難免。

Neil
Here's another example. I went to a castle near where I live. At one point, my wife said that I should take a photo of it, but I had forgotten to bring my phone. I'd left it at home.

Feifei
It happens to the best of us. 人人都難免會遇到這種事情。我自己也有過不小心把東西落在家里的經(jīng)歷。

Neil
Let's hear some more examples.

Examples
During the speech, the CEO completely forgot what he was saying. It happens to the best of us.

My daughter failed her driving test, and she was really upset. I told her it happens to the best of us.

My friend missed his train because he overslept. It happens to the best of us.

Feifei
你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。以上我們介紹了表達(dá) “it happens to the best of us” 的含義和用法。當(dāng)我們想要安慰他人不要為自己犯下的錯誤感到太難過、太糾結(jié)的時候，就可以用 “it happens to the best of us”。

Neil
Yes, it's a common way to make someone feel better who's made a mistake and feels bad about it.

Feifei
沒錯，通常我們用 “it happens to the best of us” 來勸他人 “別太糾結(jié)于錯誤本身，要向前看”。

Neil
Yes, and sometimes we say 'it can happen to the best of us', using the verb 'can'.

Feifei
Well, we've run out of time – but that can happen to the best of us, can't it?

Neil
It can. Bye.

Feifei
Bye!
