前面我們學習了有關“bear”的兩個短語，下面我們不放趁熱打鐵一下，再學習兩個有關“at”的短語解析吧！優朗英語的Kathy老師將繼續為大家講解“at this rate ”及“at the back of you mind”這兩個短語。
先來看，“at this rate ”這一詞組。
at this rate 指如果按照現在的情況繼續下去。
例句：
Progress has been very slow . At this rate , we won't be finished until the end of next year .
進展一直非常緩慢。這樣下去的話，我們到明年年底才能完成。
At this rate , Mr and Mrs Smith will soon have to buy a bigger house .
這樣下去的話，史密斯夫婦不久就得買一座更大的房子了。
情景模擬：
Samantha is simply working too hard .
I know she stays up half the night and that isn't good for her .
At this rate , she'll make herself ill
下面是另一個詞組“at the back of you mind”。
at the back of you mind 指在心底里，下意識中。
例句：
There was still a small doubt at the back of my mind , but I did my best to ignore it .
我心底里仍存有一些疑慮，但我竭力不理它。
I've had this idea at the back of my mind for some time . Now is the time to try and get it down on paper .
這個想法在我心底里已有些日子，現在是時候寫下來了 。
情景模擬：
Lisa was doing her best to enjoy the party .
But there was small worry at the back of you mind .
Had she remembered to lock the door when she left her house ?
It was no good . She had to go home and check , otherwise she wouldn't enjoy the party at all .
