老外說 This is where I came in,不是說我從哪裡來(二)
老外說 This is where I came in,不是說我從哪裡來(二)
很口語的表達,開會時,有些人一再重覆已經講過的事,不耐煩的人就會說:
★ Okay, that's enough. This is where I came in.
行啦,夠了。這些都講過了。
既然講了那麼多次,當然也就非常熟悉,所以This is where I came in.也可以指「非常熟悉」。
★ This is where I came in. It's the same thing all over again.
感覺似曾相識,像是往事又重來一遍。
2、You see where I'm coming from?
(錯)你知道我從哪裡來嗎?
(對)你知道我的意思嗎?
See/know where someone is coming,字面意思是「知道某人從何處來」,引申為「知道一個人為什麼會這樣做、這樣想」。
★ I don't agree with you entirely, but I understand where you're coming from.
我不完全同意你的想法,但我瞭解你為什麼這樣想。
