欢迎大家来到每天学口语系列，快来看看今天我们要学习的表达吧！
1 And even if I could, I'm not willing to.
此句中有两个短语值得学习，一是“even if”,二是“be willing to”,“even if”意为“即使”，相当于“even though”,引导让步状语从句；“be willing to do”意为“情愿做某事”，表示“不情愿”时除了用否定式“not willing to”,还可以用“unwilling to”。
例句：
Even if you take the exam again, you won't pass it.
即使你再考一次，也考不过。
We are willing to help but unable to do so about this.
这件事我们是想帮忙，但有心无力啊。
2 I was almost 16 when I took up with her.
此句中的“take up with sb.”意为“与某人关系暧昧”。如果是“take up with sth.”，则表示“忙于做某事”。
例如：
Jones took up with Brown last winter and they went to classes together.
去年冬天琼斯和布朗经常来往，他们总是一起去上课。
His mind was wholly taken up with the question.
他满脑子都在想这个问题。
3 As you think fit.
As作为高频词，有很多种用法。此处as引导的是方式状语从句。Ms. Mather问“to do what?”, Michael回答的“As you think fit”其实是承接上句，合并起来就是“Do as you
think fit”。
例句：
When at Rome, do as Romans do.
入乡随俗。
You must try to hold the tool as I do.
你必须像我这样拿着工具。
