其实,There you go是You go there的倒装形式。本质意思是:你(you)达到了(go)某种目的或结果(there),即进入某个状态。根据语境来看,意思非常灵活。
1 干得好!你做对了!
当别人做完一件事,作为鼓励,你可以说一句there you go,表示「你得到了想要的结果」,本质意思即你达成了某个结果。
=you go there
= you go to the destination
= you accomplish it.
举个例子:
You need some skills to solve this puzzle.
解这个谜题需要些技巧。
It's not that hard. There you go. Great job.
并不难,你看你这就搞定了,干得好!
再举个例子:
Emily: Hey what did you get at your TOFEL exam?
Emily:你托福考得怎么样?
Jack: I only got a 95 but I need a 105 to apply to my ideal school.
Jack:我考了95分,但是我需要考105分以上,才能申请到理想的学校。
Emily: Well what are you gonna do?
Emily:那你打算怎么办?
Jack: I’m just gonna dig in. Work harder, get a tutor.
Jack:还能怎么办,自己死磕呗,再找一个老师来辅导。
Emily:There you (ya) go, that’s the spirit.
Emily:加油!特别欣赏你这种精神。
2 那就对了!
当发现一件事和预期一样,作为事实如此,你可以说there you go,表示「那就对啊,我说对了吧」,本质意思即你得到了正确的答案。
=That's the way it is.
常见用法是:well, there you go.
举个例子:
A: I was wondering why this apartment was so cheap.
A:我很好奇为什么这个公寓这么便宜。
B: Oh yeah? Did it seem too good to be true?
B:是吗?是不是这间公寓好到让人难以置信了?
A: Yeah I mean low price, good area, beautiful hardwood floors then I met the landlord. He seems sketchy and he said the building had a bug problem last month.
A:是的。价格低,区位又好,硬木地板。我见到了房东,他看起来不是很可信。他说这栋房子上个月有个小问题。
B: Ah well there you go.
B:那就对了。
3 给你!
在交换物品的时候说,意思就是“给、给你”。本质意思即把东西递给某人。
=To give something to somebody
=To hand something to somebody
举个例子:
Emily: How much is this book?
Emily:这本书怎么卖?
Jeffrey: It’s 27.
Jeffrey: 27块。
Emily: There you go.
