地道表达
read one’s lips
1. 解词释义
Read my lips字面意思是“读我的嘴唇”，但是真正的含义是“给我听好了”。例如别人约你时会说：Do you want to hand out with me tonight?意思是：你今晚想不想跟我在一起啊？如果这个人是个令人讨厌的家伙的话，你就可以回答他：Read my lips. No. 老美在讲这句话时，会放慢语速，好吧NO的唇形给展现出来，表达他们不愿意的程度。其英文解释为：to manage to understand speech by watching and interpreting the movements of the speaker's lips。
2. 典型范例
e.g. I couldn't hear her but I could read her lips.
我听不到他说什么，但是我可以尽力去听。
e.g. I'll read the text through once and you read my lips.
我把课文从头到尾读一遍，你们仔细听。
Ps：Would you like to do something？这个句型用来询问他人想做某事吗？例如：
Would you like to come to have lunch tomorrow? 明天请你来吃午饭，好吗？
