  ★ My shoes are worn out.

  My shoes are worn out.我的鞋穿破了。

  Be worn out 表示“穿破了”,这个词组看起来是被动形式,但并不强调被动,强调的是状态或者情况,可以理解为形容词短语。例如:

  My clothes are worn out and I have to mend them.

  我的衣服穿破了,我得补一下。

  You see,this glass is broken.

  This pair of glasses is very good for me.

  这副眼镜我戴很好。

  ★ That's a bit expensive.

  That's a bit expensive.价钱有点贵。

  A bit 表示“一点儿”,“有些”,在句中作定语或者状语,相当形容词或者副词。与a little 是同义词。例如:

  I want to go to bed,for I feel tired.

  我想去睡觉,因为我感到累了。

  "Why didn't you come to school?""Because I was ill."

  “为什么你昨天没来学校?”“因为我病了。”
