Subject:I wish I could a fly on the wall.情景对话: A: They are talking about thir paper! Have youfinished your paper? 他们正在讨论论文的事情!你的论文完成了吗? B: No, I am worrying about that these days. I wish Icould be a fly on the wall. 还没有,我这几天正在担心这事情呢,真希望能听偷听到他们的谈话。 地道表达 a fly on the wall 1. 解词释义 成为一只伏在墙上的苍蝇才不会引起别人的注意。不光可以清清楚楚地偷听到别人的很机密的谈话,而且还相当隐蔽,做得到神不知鬼不觉,从而不会被别人发现。根据这一生动的想象,就有这个说法了:a fly on thewall。用之来比喻“偷听别人说话”。其英文解释为:If you say you would like to be a fly on the wall in acertain situation, you mean that you would like to be there secretly to see and hear whathappens. 2. 拓展例句 e.g. I wish I could be a fly on the wall when they discuss my future. 在他们讨论我的前途的时候,我真希望能听到他们在说什么。 e.g. I'd give anything to be a fly on the wall when she tells him. 当她高告诉他事情时,我真希望偷听到他们在说什么。 e.g. Alice and Lily are commenting on my performance. How I wish I could be a fly on the wallto hear what they are saying. 爱丽丝和莉莉正在评论我的表演,我多么希望能偷听到她们的谈话内容。
