今天要和大家分享的口语表达是:get one's head around something。这个口语表达的意思是 to be able to understand something(usually negative) 就是“明白,弄清某事”,一般用在否定句里表示“搞不懂,搞不清楚”。
- - I just can't get my head around the fact that he is leaving us.
- 我还是搞不懂他为何离我们而去。
- Keep your shirt on, you have to face the music.
- 冷静点,你应该面对现实。 - He has tried to explain the principles behind the technology dozens of time, but I still can't get my head around them.
他多次试图给我解释技术原理,但我仍然搞不懂。
下面我们再来看几个和这个口语表达有关的例句:
- I just can't get my head around this idea.
我没搞懂这个想法。 - It's kind of difficult. I can't get my head around how to do this.
这有点儿难,我弄不明白怎样做这件事。 - Everyone was laughing at his joke but I couldn't get my head around it at all.
听了他讲的笑话,每个人都大笑起来,可是我一点儿也没听懂。
