【口語講解】

1. with all due respect恕我直言；冒昧的說.美劇里經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的話, 是不是說明他們說話很直呢?

2. off the air停播對美劇迷來說most American TV series are off the air in holiday seasons. 是最壞的消息了,TBBT也要等到明年,小編抓狂啊!

3. speak to證明

I can speak to his veracity .我可以證明他是誠實的。

4. marry sb off把…嫁出去；讓兒子結婚.

This activity is evidently intended to marry off all the old maids.這次活動是為了全體老小姐都能出嫁。

5. go through with做完,完成.這里表示你還是從了吧.(狂笑)
