1.Fortunately,it is not rainy.
fortunately是“幸运地,幸亏,幸好”的意思,它的形容词就是fortunate(幸运的)。它的名词是fortune, 可解释成“幸运,命运,运气”。如:
good fortune(好运),tell fortunes(算命),fortuneteller(算命仙)。此外,它也作“财富,财产”解释。如 :
a man of fortune (有钱人),make a fortune (发大财)。与fortunately 相似的是luckily(幸运地,幸好)。然而,我们常说Good luck to you!(祝你好运),但有时候也用Good fortune to you, 比如写信的时候。
2.You're the best at the management.
be the best at是指“在……最优秀(强,厉害)的”,请注意要配合介系词“at”,而且后面若有动作,则要接动名词(Ving)。如:
Michael is the best at singing English songs in his class迈克尔是他们班上最会唱英文歌的人。与此句类型相似的还有be good at (擅长于),be poor at (不擅长于),be bad at (笨拙于)。如:
Helen is poor at cooking (海伦不擅长烹饪)。John is bad at singing Japanese songs(约翰的日文歌曲唱得很差劲)。
