Let us start with the number one. Numbers can be tricky. On the one hand, they are simply numbers. On the other hand, they have meanings. I for one use these expressions a lot.
今天我们来讲述一下包含数字的表达方式。我们从数字“一”开始。数字是非常巧妙的。一方面(On the one hand)，它们仅仅是数字。另一方面，他们也有本身的意义。举个例子说(for one),我经常用到这些短语。
Many people consider themselves number one, the most important person. They are always looking out for number one and taking care of number one. It is as if they are the one and only person on Earth. Some people however, are not so self-centered. My brother is such a person. It is true – no joke. I am not trying to pull a fast one on you.
许多人认为他们自己是最重要的人物(number one)。他们经常谋求自身的利益(looking out for number one),为自己的利益打算(taking care of number one).似乎他们是地球上唯一的人(one and only)。然而，有些人就不是这么以自我为中心。我的弟弟就是这样的人。这是真的——不是开玩笑。我不会试图欺骗你(pull a fast one)。
First, you have to understand that my brother is one in a million. He is such a nice person. All his friends like him. They consider him one of the boys. Recently, my brother had a bad day at the office. It was just one of those days. Nothing went right. So he stopped at a local bar -- a drinking place -- after leaving work. My brother planned to have a glass of beer with his friends -- a quick one – before he went home. But a quick one turned into one or two, and soon those became one too many.
首先，你必须明白，我的弟弟是万里挑一的人(one in a million)。他是非常好的人。他所有的朋友都喜欢他。他们认为他是真正的玩友(one of the boys)。 最近，我弟弟在工作上不是很愉快，那是一段倒霉的日子(one of those days),事事不顺。所以下班之后就在一个当地酒吧——喝酒的地方逗留。我弟弟打算跟朋友喝完一杯啤酒就走——就干一杯(quick one)。但是干一杯(quick one)变成了一两杯(one or two)，一会儿就喝多了(one too many)。
As my brother was leaving, he ordered a last drink -- one for the road. His friends became concerned. One by one, they asked him if he was able to drive home safely.
当我弟弟准备离开的时候，他要了最后一杯(one for the road)。他的朋友有些担心了，一个个(One by one)都问他能否安全开车回家。
Now my brother is a wise and calm person. He is at one with himself. He recognizes when he has had too much alcohol to drink. So he accepted an offer for a ride home from a female friend.
