What took you so long?
学英语是个循序渐进的过程，每天掌握好一个英语口语表达，利用闲暇时间日积月累学英语。今天的英语口语表达是：What took you so long?
这个口语表达从字面意思就不难理解，是表示：“什么事花费了你这么长时间？怎么花这么长时间才好？怎么这么久才到？”
注意这里的动词一定要用过去式，表示占用你时间的事情发生在你说话之前。
- Why are you in such a hurry? What took you so long?
- 为什么你如此匆忙？怎么要这么久才到啊？
- I was supposed to have a meeting withabig potato. I"m justoff the hook.
- 我本来和一个大人物有个会面，我刚刚脱身出来。
You are all wet.That"sbeside the point. Stop making excuses andget down to businessimmediately. You"ll figure out what took you so long.
你完全错了，这不是重点。别找借口了，赶紧着手工作吧，你会搞清楚怎么会需要怎么长时间的。
下面我们再看几个例句，强化一下这个表达：
- It"son the tip of my tongue. Oh, what took you so long?
- 就在嘴边，又想不起来了。哦对了，你怎么这么久才到？
- I got lost.I don"t have a clueabout how to get here. I have no sense of direction.
- 我迷路了，不知道怎么到这里来，我没有方向感。
It"s justkind ofano-brainer. What took you so long?
这只是小菜一碟啊，怎么要花这么长的时间？
I have been waiting for you for half an hour. What took you so long? The film is about to begin.
我都等了你半个小时了，怎么这么久才来？电影就快要开始了。
