学校改收容所安置旅客:to the ends of the earth

甘德学校一夜之间变成收容所,一句 Welcome to Gander Academy, nicest hotel on the east coast.(欢迎来到甘德学校,东海岸最棒的旅馆。)。旅客最想要的其实是电话,排着队报平安;也有人走到厨房说 Yes. I would like to be of assistance with the food.(是的。我想帮忙做吃的。)。想学英语里招待、报平安、主动帮忙的说法,这段很暖。

发生了什么

甘德学校被改成临时收容所,志愿者带着旅客认路:洗手间在走廊那头,有食物,也有换洗衣服,还说 Let us know if there's anything else you need.(还有别的需要,跟我们说一声。)。有人问到底发生了什么,才知道纽约出了事;食堂里架起两台电视放新闻,好让大家 so you can see what's actually happened for yourselves.(自己看看到底发生了什么。)。很多人只想打电话报平安,六部免费电话被放到路边,round the clock(日夜不停)地占用。有人还走进厨房,说 I would like to be of assistance with the food.(我想帮忙做吃的。)。想学英语里接待、报平安、伸出援手的说法,这段很暖。

to the ends of the earth 怎么用?

意思是「到天涯海角」,引申为竭尽全力、拼到极点。说一个人 will fight to the ends of the earth,就是他会不惜一切去争取。

set up 在句子里是什么意思?

意思是「架设、安置、安排」。we got two TVs set up 就是「我们架好了两台电视」,布置设备、安排场地都能用。

「有需要就说」英语怎么说?

「我想帮忙」正式一点怎么说?

可以说 I would like to be of assistance,be of assistance 就是「提供帮助」,比 I want to help 更正式、更客气。
