8)"同意"是解
一般情况下,如果四个选项中有一个表示"同意"的概念,那么,此选项就是正确选项。如:
① W: It's a wonderful film, isn't it? M: You can say that again. Q: What does the man mean? A. He agrees with the woman. B. He didn't hear what the woman said. C. He is surprised by her opinion. D. He thinks she should look at it again.
② M: This is the longest assignment we've had all semester. W: You're telling me. We'll be lucky if we can do half of it. Q: What does the woman say about the assignment? A. She has done half of it already. B. She agrees that it is very long. C. They have all semester to do it. D. There's nothing wrong with it.
请同学们注意以下表示同意对方观点的常用语。如果听到这些,就可以选择含有"同意"的选项: You said it. You can say that again. You are telling me. You may/might well say so. I'll say. I couldn't agree more.
