I always thought Mary and I were friends. But when I saw her at the supermarket today and said 'hello,' she gave me the cold shoulder --she looked right past me like I wasn't even there.
请大家注意这个例句的最后一句话:She looked right past me like I wasn’t even there. Like I wasn't even there 这样说,严格来讲,并不符合语法的要求,但是美国人却都这么说。这证明口语里习惯的表达并不一定符合语法的规定,这是经常出现的现象,希望大家在学习的过程中注意这一点。
It was the first time I got invited to that fancy club. People at the party were polite to me, but one of the waiters gave me the cold shoulder when I asked for a drink. Let me tell you, I'll never go to a place like that again.
