    381 复习

    keep in touch 保持联系

    lose touch 失去联系

    apart 分开地,分散地,远离


    请大家和我读三遍

    drift apart


    lose touch 通常是指因为生活在不同地方,距离远而失去联系。

    drift apart 是虽然还是生活在同个地方,距离可能很近,但因为其他原因,感情淡了,关系远了。


    Over the years we just drifted apart.

    多年来我们渐行渐远。


    请大家和我读三遍

    Over the years we just drifted apart.


    刚刚说 drift apart 侧重于感情逐渐变淡,我们也学一下“逐渐地”怎么说:

    gradually 

    逐渐地,渐渐地,逐步地;平缓地


    所以,drift apart 指的就是 The relationship gradually ends.

    relationship 关系

    end 动词,结束
