DIALOG 26

BARRY IS UNUSUAL

1--Have you met Barry?

2--I think so, but I don't remember what he looks

like.

1--He's a most unusual person.

2--What do you mean by unusual?

3--You'll understand when you see him.

2--You mean it's his physical appearance?

1--Not exactly. There's a certain way that he has of

speaking and choosing his words that's unique.

But that's not what I'm talking about.

3--That's part of it. But it goes beyond speech. I

guess it's what some people call "charisma".

2--Oh, that. Now I know what you're talking about.

I'm just full of it!

1--Ha,ha.Big joke!

===================================

注解：

1)most=very常用来加强语气。如：It's most kind of you!/

He thanked her for a most enjoyable party./It's most

dangerous to drive drunk.

2)There's a certain way...unique：此句中的两个that

从句都是way的定语从句。第一个从句说：he has a certain

way of speaking and choosing his words。第二个从句说

his way is unique.unique：独特的;独一无二的。

3)go beyond speech：难于用语言表达。类似的短语有：

beyond words/beyond expression/beyond description

4)charisma：超凡的魅力，神授的能力。
