Ask Learn聞問(wèn)切英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ):Wear two hats, high hopes
1. 英文有 "he wears two hats" 的說(shuō)法,我們可否把 two 變成 three 或更多的數(shù)目?
2. 期望高是 have high hopes、big hopes 還是 large hopes?
Wears two hats 是指一個(gè)人具有雙重身分,譬如說(shuō):某人在機(jī)構(gòu)負(fù)責(zé)財(cái)政及宣傳,開(kāi)會(huì)時(shí)就要作出兩個(gè)報(bào)告。如果他身兼三職或四職,的確是可以說(shuō) "He wears three/ four hats"。我甚至聽(tīng)過(guò) "He wears multiple hats" 的說(shuō)法,當(dāng)然這多少是以戲謔的口吻說(shuō)出來(lái)。
一般表示期望高都說(shuō) high hopes(注意 hopes 要用眾數(shù)),也有人說(shuō) big hopes。Large hopes 比較少聽(tīng)到,但也非完全沒(méi)人用。穩(wěn)當(dāng)起見(jiàn),最好還是說(shuō) high hopes。
