第147期:會有那么一天嗎_初級英語口語

That will be the day! 會有那么一天嗎？

That will be the day是一個用得非常普遍的習慣用語。That will be the day美國人用這個習慣用語已經(jīng)有四十多年了。還帶有濃厚的諷刺性。

Sure, the boss promised us a raise again, but he's done that before and then finds some excuse not to do it. This time he said we can expect a nice raise by January 1. Yeah, sure - that will be the day！ We're afraid it just won't come true!

是呀，老板又向我們保證要給我們加工資?？墒牵郧耙策@么保證過，然后又找借口不給加。這次，他說，到一月一號，我們就可以加不少工資。 哼，誰信他的！恐怕這根本不會實現(xiàn)。
