《iET Facebook 英語學堂》 第37周 : Run in the Family

今日正值冬至,俗語有云「冬至大過年」,iET祝願各位一家團圓, 並爲大家介紹一個有關「家」的諺語 —— “Run in the Family”, 「在家裏跑」? 非也,意思是「世代相傳」、「家族特色」。比如説:

Peter 數學很好, 他爸爸是數學家, 爺爺是精算師, 世代都具數學頭腦。

Peter is good at Mathematics. His father is a mathematician and his grandfather an actuary. A head for numbers runs in the family.

Both my sister and I have hazel hair. It runs in the family. 我和我姐姐都有淡褐色的頭髮,是家族特色。

大家在團聚時不妨討論一下有什麽 runs in the family,有助了解自己的家族。各位遊學在外的同學仔, 別忘了打電話或 FaceTime / Skype / 微信 / Line / Whatsapp 視頻家人共度佳節。
