大家好,欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我是佳莹。
Neil
… and me, Neil.
Jiaying
What is that? 你吃什么呢?
Neil
Oh, just some really expensive cheese – you can tell it’s expensive cause it’s got lots of blue in it!
Jiaying
I don’t think it’s meant to be that colour – I think it’s mouldy. It’s the smell for me!
Neil
What? The smell for you? You mean you want to smell like the cheese I’m eating?
Jiaying
Definitely not! 在口语中,我们可以用 “it’s the… for me” 这个句式来表示 “自己喜爱或受不了某人或某物的主要原因在于……”,只要在 “it’s the” 和 “for me” 的中间填上让你产生强烈好恶感的那个特点即可。比如,我刚刚说,Neil 正在吃的奶酪气味特别冲,让我接受不了:“It’s the pungent smell for me.”
Neil
You know – I think it’s the fact it’s covered in blue stuff for me! I might stop eating it!
Jiaying
Good idea, Neil! Well, let’s talk more about things that stand out after these examples.
Examples
I can’t stand that new song! It’s the way she sings the high notes for me!
I really love that new TV show. It’s the way they write it for me!
It’s the sound for me! The noise he makes when eating is disgusting!

你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。以上,我们介绍了句型:“it’s the… for me” 的意思和用法。我们用这个结构来谈论人或物的一个特征,表示 “这一点就是我们特别喜欢或者受不了这个人或事物的原因”。
Neil
Yes, so if I want to say what I love most about video games, I’d say it’s the stories for me!
Jiaying
Exactly! But obviously it’s used more when we’re complaining about something or someone – like the cheese you’re eating!
Neil
Was eating! I’m afraid you’re right about the smell! But it was the taste for me! It’s disgusting!
Jiaying
I can imagine! But where did you get the cheese?
Neil
Rob gave it to me – I think it was a present!
Jiaying
No, Neil – that wasn’t for eating, he was throwing away some old cheese from the fridge!
Neil
Oh, no – I think I’d better sit down!
Jiaying
Good idea! Bye, Neil.
Neil
Bye…
