【Learn from music】雅思口语：Smile 微笑

今天要分享的是一首正能量的歌曲，called ‘Smile’，虽然life is so tough但我们也要理直气壮地smile。这首歌就像歌手的名字Vitamin C(原名Colleen Fitzpatrick) 充满活力。

接下来，听听这首歌，聊聊本季话题smile

●put on a smile on your face

“面带微笑”

“put on”有“穿上”的意思，比如put on my coat “穿上我的外套”，也可以说：wear my coat，所以“我经常面带微笑”也可以是：I usually wear a smile on my face.

●smile

smile 既可以作名词，也可以作动词。作名词，比如 a friendly smile“友好的微笑”，再比如 manage a smile “强颜欢笑”，也可以说

force a smile，Although he felt exhausted, he still managed a smile in the end.

虽然他很疲惫了，但最后还是勉强笑了一下，作动词，比如smile at sb“对某人微笑”，Tom smiles at her and greets her warmly.

Tom对她微笑着，热情地跟她打招呼。再比如smile to oneself表示 开心地笑

He read the message on his phone and smiled to himself.

他读着那条消息，开心地笑了。

●there is no need to do sth

“不必做某事”

I think there is no need to manage a smile if you don’t want to.我觉得，如果你不想强颜欢笑，就不必强颜欢笑。口语中，我们也可以用there’s no need to do sth 表示“不要做某事”，

比如：There’s no need to shout in public!

公共场合不要大声喊叫!

●screw sb up

screw sb up【非正式】表示“使某人很不愉快”

比如It screwed her up when her bestie betrayed her and pretended to smile at her.

她闺蜜背叛她还对她假笑，这使她非常难过。

screw作名词有“螺丝钉”的意思，动词可以表示“用螺丝铆住”，那么“screw up the courage to do sth”就可以表示“铆足了勇气做某事”

比如：Finally, I screwed up the courage to propose to her.

终于，我鼓足了勇气去跟她求婚。

●dimple

“酒窝”

感觉 笑起来 有酒窝的脸庞(dimpled cheeks)都非常上镜，小编对于dimpled cheeks真是毫无抵抗力。“上镜的”可以说：photogenic，比如题库里“Do you smile when people take pictures of you?”

就可说：Sure. when I smile in a picture, my dimpled cheeks make me look more photogenic.

最后，希望大家天天开心，Put on a smile on your face. Make the world a better place.发音都在歌里啦~
