看美剧学英语习语:For a change

本帖最后由 Fannie 于 2020-7-11 10:27 编辑

For a change: for variety; as an improvement on what usually happens; for the sake of contrast or variety; as something novel or different. We use this expression to introduce something different from what is normal. Example: We usually go to Cyprus on holiday but this year we’ve decided to stay at home for a change.


中文释义:你某天突然想不按惯例来点变化,就可用for a change(换换口味)表示。例句:My kids always pack lunch for school. I ask them to buy lunch for a change.(孩子老是从家带饭,我叫他们买饭试试。)另外引申一个和change有关的短语,只不过在这里它作为名词出现:Keep the change。change做名词时,除了“ 变化”还有“零钱”的意思,在这个短语中便是“零钱”的意思。"Keep the change."的意思是:(零钱)不用找了。
