练习 1
Bruno says, "I used to be quite the pinball wizard back in Paris".
What does he mean by this?
Bruno says, "I used to be quite the pinball wizard back in Paris".
What does he mean by this?
Bruno does suggest that he wants to "do an on-site inspection of the machine" which means that he is going to examine the pinball machine in Bob's computer laboratory. There is not, however, any suggestion that Bruno inspected pinball machines when he lived in Paris.
A "pinball wizard" is someone who is very good at pinball. The expression "back in Paris" means "while living in Paris". Bruno is stating that he used to be very good at pinball when he lived in Paris. "Used to" describes an action that occurred for a period of time in the past. Example: I used to smoke, but now I've quit.
The term "wizard" is a synonym of "magician", however Bruno is not suggesting that he used to be a "magician". His use of the term "wizard" is to indicate that he was very good at pinball.
The expression to "get used to" playing pinball means to get "in the habit of" playing pinball or "feeling comfortable" playing pinball on a regular basis. This does not express the same meaning as "Bruno used to be" good at playing pinball, which means Bruno was good at pinball for a period of time in the past.
