每天三分钟学英语 第324期:Deliver the baby 可不是“快递个宝宝”的意思哦

情景对话：
Caroline: Max, you just got a box delivered at home.
Max: I don't want that. It's a delivery from my mother. The last thing she delivered was me, and I'm still cleaning up that mess.

知识点讲解：

Deliver
v. 送货

【例句】
The package will be delivered to the office at 10 AM.
包裹会在上午10点被送到办公室。

*Deliver 还可以指送餐，
比如国外有些餐馆外面会写：
We deliver. 意思就是”我们送餐“。

Delivery
n. 送货，送餐

它是deliver的名词形式，
”外卖“我们可以用takeout表示，
同样也可以说 delivery 哟~

【例句】
I don't feel like cooking tonight. Do you just want to get some delivery?
我今晚不想做饭，要不咱们店点外卖吧？

剧中Max用了deliver双关：
The last thing she delivered was me.
这里的delivered表示生孩子

Deliver
v. 生孩子

【例句一】
It took my wife 30 hours to deliver the baby.
我老婆用了30个小时才生下孩子。

【例句二】
The doctor deliver the baby at 2 pm.
医生在两点钟把孩子接生出来了。
