“Walk through”不一定是“走过”的意思哦！

“走过花园”我们可以说“walk through the garden”，但是今天的习语里的“walk through”却跟“走”一点关系都没有，那到底这个习语到底是什么意思，该如何用在对话中呢？我们听听Joy and Chris的对话吧！

C: Hi guys. I’m Chris.
 
J: And I’m Joy. The idiom we are gonna cover today is: walk someone through something. It means to slowly and carefully explain or show something to someone. You can say it like this: 

I’ll walk you through it. / Can you walk me through it? / She walked me through it.

C: Walk through can be used for when you are literally walking. You can walk through a garden. You can walk through a house. But in this idiom, we are talking about walking through a process or a document. I’ve had students who had to make presentations for their companies. They wanted to practice their presentation with me to make sure everything was correct and would go smoothly. I usually tell them: Walk me through your presentation. Or you might be introducing a new product to your client. You can say: Let me walk you through the instructions. Here’s how we use it in a conversation:

 
J: Hey Terry. How’s your first day at work?
 
C: Everything’s great. Thanks for asking. There was a little problem understanding my role on the team. But Nick already walked me through the details.
