每天三分鐘學英語 第504期:當別人要tell you a little secret時 他可能是想...

Let me tell you a little secret about me.
讓我告訴你個祕密。

通常在給別人意見時使用

Let me tell you a little secret about me. When I was a child, I wanted to be a movie star. I thought it was not easy, so I didn't try. But you need to know that nothing in life is easy.
給你講個事兒，我小時候想成爲電影明星，我覺得這可能挺難的，所以就沒有去嘗試。但是你必須知道，生活中沒有易事。

Let me tell you a story
我給你講個故事

通常是給人講大道理

Let me tell you a story. One day I met a beautiful girl and she asked for my number. I didn't give it to her because I thought I was too poor to have a girlfriend.
我給你講個故事吧。有一天我遇見了一個漂亮的姑娘。她管我要電話號碼。我沒有給她。因爲我覺得我太窮了以致於沒法找女朋友。

The next day I see her walking hand in hand with a bum. So sometimes you don't know what people value in you.
但第二天我就看見她跟一個流浪漢手牽手走在路上。所以呢，有時候你都不知道別人看重的是你的什麼。

可以說：Here's a life lesson.

Here's a life lesson. Never get in a fight with a crazy person no matter how strong you think you are. Crazy always beats strong.
分享個人生智慧給你。永遠不要跟瘋子打架，不管你覺得自己有多麼強壯。因爲瘋狂永遠比強壯厲害。
