13、的字面意思是“使良心受到重击”,也就是我们说的“受到良心的谴责”。Sooner or later, youll get your conscience smitten.总有一天,你会受到良心的谴责。2.She must be having a few buttons missing. 她肯定是脑子有点不正常。此语中的 buttons 原指“纽扣 ”或“按钮”。此语主要用来表达“神经失常”、“行为古怪” 以及“头脑失常”之类的概念。She must be having a few buttons missing. Thats why its useless to argue with her.她
14、肯定是脑子有点不正常。这就是为什么我说你跟她理论没用。3.Do as concubine, and let concubine no way out. 走小三的路,让小三无路可走。“小三队伍” 在社会逐步壮大,已经形成一股“势力” ,并且成为引领这个社会的一种“ 潮流”。“ 小三”在不断破坏我们的婚姻的同时,也在不断挑战人们的容忍底线。Tips:concubine 妾, 妃子4.She should have it coming on her. 她活该。汉语口语中的“活该” 有时可以用 serve somebody right 有时可以用somebody deserve it,这里的 shou
15、ld have it coming on somebody 表达的真正含义是“ 应得的下场” ,也是 “活该” 的概念。She should have it coming on her, for shes been too conceited.她活该。谁让他总是那么趾高气昂的。5.Shes an apple-polisher. 她真是个马屁精据说,原来一些美国学生经常把苹果擦得亮亮的,然后送给他们的老师以示尊敬,后来人们便以此来形容那些为了某种目的而讨好他人的人了。从此,an apple-polisher 就是马屁精的意思了。Shes an apple-polisher.Shes quite
16、good at apple polishing.她是个马屁精。她很擅长拍马屁。6.I regard him as a stick-in-the-mud. 我看他是个老古董。汉语中的“老古董” 之说本身是个隐喻,而英语(论坛)中的 a stick-in-the-mud(钻进泥土里的青蛙)也是个隐喻,这样既传达了原意,又再现了原文的语言风格,很符合英语口语用法。I regard him as a stick-in-the-mud. He cant accept anything new.我看他是个老古董。他根本没法接受新知识。7.Ive never met such an ignoramus. 我
17、从没见过这么无知的人。an ignoramus 一语源于 G.Ruggle(拉格尔)写的剧本无知之辈。此后,这一表达法被人们广泛使用,意指“无知的人”。Oh my God. Ive never met such an ignoramus. How could he do that?天啊。我从没见过这么无知的人。他怎么会这么做呢?8.Hes a lummox. 他是个傻大个。lummox 一词据说是 a dumb ox(笨牛)和 a lump(傻瓜)的合成词,原意指又傻又笨的人。但是值得注意的是,在很多情景中,此语带有几分调侃色彩,并无贬义。I know Marys husband.Hes lu
18、mmox.我认识玛丽的丈夫。他是个傻大个。9.He is plain a black-brain. 他真是个笨蛋。英语中“笨蛋”的说法太多了,我们随口就可以说出 stupid, foolish,idiot, clumsy 等等。但是上述的都侧重表示“大脑迟钝”或者“呆板”的意思。当你被一个人的“ 蠢行”搞得很气恼时 “black-brain”就更能表达你气愤、怨恨的心情了。He is plain a black-brain. We have to work another two days thanks to him.他真是个笨蛋。因为他我们又要干两天了。10.She is tasting h
19、er own medicine. 她是自食其果。在美国应建立优良的信用记录。各种帐单应准时支付,帐单上多会载明付费截止日期,最好能够提早一周左右支付。万一误时,不仅可能会遭罚款,同时也会使自己信用扫地。银行存款也应随时保持在足够支付帐单的金额以上,若遭跳票,也会影响信用。美语中有些字眼在中文里面似乎找不到可代换的字, 其中感情方面的字好象就占了不少。也许有一天你会跟老外交往, 也或许你只是有兴趣认识这些字, 这个单元是恋爱一族不可不看的喔 ! 1. have a crush on 迷恋某人 A: Im having this huge crush on Ted. Im going to try
20、 and see if I can ask him out this weekend. A: 我最近好喜欢 Ted 喔 ! 我想看看能不能约他这个周末出来。 B: Well.But I heard that he is already seeing somebody. B: 嗯 但是我听说他已经有了交往的对象了诶! 美国人关于交友的用词和我们有些不同。这里的 “he is seeing somebody“ 有可能指他刚正开始和某人交往, 也可能指他和对方已经交往了一阵子。还有一个美国人常用来形容他们的感情状况的字是“relationship“ 。到目前为止,我还不能找到一个很贴切的中文来代替它
21、。 不过, 如果例句中的“.But I heard that he is already seeing somebody.“ 改成 “.But I heard that he is already is a serious relationship with somebody.“ 就惨了。因为那表示这个叫 Ted 的男生不但是死会了, 而且是非常地死会。各位应该可以大致抓到它的意思吧。 2. play hard-to-get 欲擒故纵 A: So she stood you up last night. A: 结果 , 她昨晚放你鸽子啦? B: Well, I guess shes tryin
22、g to play hard-to-get. B: 嗯, 大概想跟我玩欲擒故纵的游戏吧! “stand someone up“ 是放某人鸽子的意思。 “play hard-to-get“ 也可以说成 “play tough-to-get“。 3. hook up 介绍、送作堆 A: Hey, how come youve never told me you have a cute sister. A: 嘿! 你为什么从来没告诉我你有一个这么漂亮可爱的妹妹? B: What are you trying to say? B: 你想说什么呢? A: Well, you can hook me up
23、, maybe? A: 嗯也许你可帮我介绍一下? B: No way. B: 休想 ! “How come?“ 是口语上经常被用来代替“why“的字, 是为什么的意思。但是“how come“ 跟“why“的用法是不同的。用 “how come“时, 句子的构造很接近中文: 如: “How come you didnt call me last night?“ (你为什么昨晚没打电话给我呢 ?)。这句话如果换成用“why“就须要用一般的问句型式, 而成 “Why didnt you call me last night?“了。 美国人对于亲属辈份关系的区分, 并不像我们那么清楚。这里的 “si
24、ster“ 可能指姊姊, 也可能指妹妹,须要另外问才清楚。 “hook up“ 是“connection“的意思, 相当于中文里的 介绍、认识之类的词, 并不单指男女之间的认识。比如某人正在找份工作, 他的朋友刚好认识比尔盖兹(BillGates )。他就可以跟这位朋友说“Hey! Since youre a friend of Bills, why dont you hook me up?“ (嘿! 既然你是比尔的朋友, 帮我介绍一下吧!) 4. break up 分手 A: How are Bob and Pat doing? A: Bob 和 Pat 近来如何 ? B: They bro
25、ke up last summer. B: 他们去年夏天分开了。 “break up“ 是关系中止的意思, 不限于男女之间的关系。“break-up“ 是分手的名词形。如: “They had an ugly break-up.“ (他们很不愉快地分手了。) 5. date (男女间的)约会 ; 约会对象 A: Dude, did you see that babe over there? Im dating her. A: 老兄 !看见那边那个美女没有? 我正在跟她约会喔! B: Man, youre lucky. B: 你真是运气好! “babe“ 是令人垂涎的美女或俊男。 和某人约会除了
26、用 “date“ , 还可以用 “romance“这个字。比如: “Beck and Ada have been dating for years.“ 可以说成:“Beck and Ada have been romancing for years.“, 都是 Beck 跟 Ada 爱情长跑多年的意思。 注意名词的“ date“ 和 “appointment“ 不可混用?quot;appointment“ 是男女以外的约会, 如医生、工作面谈的约。万一你跟你的医生说:“Id like to have a date with you.“, 他可能会眼睛、嘴巴都张得很大。 英语(论坛 )小常识 -
27、约会 When are you free? 您什么时候有空? Are you free this Thursday afternoon? 您这个周四下午有空吗? What time will you be in? 您什么时候在? What time will you be able to see me? 您什么时候可以见我?
