字號(hào):

核心句型:
    How about drawing straws to decide?
    我們來抓鬮兒決定怎么樣?
    draw straws 是指:“抽簽,抓鬮兒”的意思,以前人們不能決定某事時(shí),就會(huì)用不同長度的稻草來抽簽,一個(gè)人將長長短短的稻草攥在手中,露出相同長度的一截,當(dāng)然現(xiàn)在還有拋硬幣或猜拳來決定的方式。因此,當(dāng)美國人說"How about drawing straws to decide?"時(shí),他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Shall we make the decision by drawing lots?"、"Can we decide it by tossing a coin?"。
    情景對(duì)白:
    Shirley: Both of them perform well, and I can hardly decide which one should stay.
    雪莉:他們倆表現(xiàn)都不錯(cuò),我很難決定留用哪一個(gè)。
    Jane: How about drawing straws to decide?
    簡(jiǎn):我們來抓鬮兒決定怎么樣?

    你就不能嚴(yán)肅點(diǎn)嗎?
    ②Come on. This is not an ordinary incident.
    拜托,這可不是什么小事。
    ③Since neither could convince the other, I think this is a solution.
    既然雙方爭(zhēng)執(zhí)不下,我想這是個(gè)辦法。
    ④Anyway, it's not something vital.
    反正也不是什么重要的事情。
