地道美語點(diǎn)滴

放大字體  縮小字體 發(fā)布日期:2006-08-05

當(dāng)別人在你旁邊羅嗦個(gè)沒完,你煩透了,說“You are so boring “.(你真煩!)。“Shut up !”(閉嘴。┳匀粵]錯(cuò),可人家受得了嗎?不如來一句“Oh, come on .Give me a break !” (幫幫忙,讓我歇歇吧!)這多地道、多幽默。

要想說人“氣色好”。“You look fine !”當(dāng)然不錯(cuò),可如果你說”You’re in the pink !”就妙得多了,實(shí)際上,在英語口語中,表示顏色的詞用起來非常形象生動(dòng)。

“他精力充沛”美國人說:“He is bouncy.”而不說“He is energetic ”,牢記一些日常對(duì)話中的活句式是你一把必備的鑰匙。
如:久仰,“I get mind of you “.比”I heard a lot about you.”輕松得。

代問他人好當(dāng)然能用”Please remember me to your sister .” 或”Please give my best wishes to your father ”不過,若是很好的朋友,何不說,“Please give my love to Jim。”

在中國可不能隨便說“我想你”,然而,當(dāng)和西方人分手時(shí)說“I will miss you .”要比說“Good-bye”或“See you soon”有趣得多,不妨一試。

有人開會(huì)遲到了,你若對(duì)他說 “You are late .”,聽起來象是廢話,若說“Did you get lost ?”,則更能讓他歉然,可別說成“Get lost!”那可是讓人滾蛋的意思。

別人征求你的意見,問能否開窗戶等,你要說“You can do that .”就有點(diǎn)土了,用一句“Do you have the time? ”實(shí)際上,問他人的姓名,地址都可以這么用:“May I have you name?“要比”What’s your name ? ”禮貌得多,不過警察例外。

別人問你不愿公開的問題,切勿用“It’s my secret ,Don’t ask such a personal question .”回答,一來顯得你沒有個(gè)性,二來也讓對(duì)方尷尬。你可以說“I would rather not say .”(還是別說了吧!)。

有時(shí)候,你想說什么,可說是想不起來,你可以說“Well …”“Let me see”“Just a moment ”或“It’s on the tip of my tongue.”等,想比之下,最后一個(gè)句型是最地道的。

交談時(shí),你可能會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)換話題,不要只說“By the way ”,實(shí)際上,“To change the subject”“Before I forget”“While I remember”“Mind you ”都是既地道有受歡迎的表達(dá)。

遇到你不懂的問題時(shí)可別不懂裝懂,“I know”可能是中國人用得最多,而美國人最不能接受的一句話。當(dāng)一美國教師向你解釋某個(gè)問題時(shí),你如果連說兩遍“I know”可能是中國人用得最多,而美國人最不能接受的一句話。當(dāng)一美國教師向你解釋某個(gè)問題時(shí),你如果連說兩遍“I know”,我敢保證,他不會(huì)再跟你說什么了。用“I know ”或“I got it ”就順耳得多,要是不懂就說“I’m not clear about it .”不過如果你會(huì)說“It’s past my understanding”或“It’s beyond me .”你的教師定會(huì)驚訝不已的。

要想將地道習(xí)語熟練地運(yùn)用于口語,下面內(nèi)容,不可不讀:

☆ a black sheep 敗家子
綿羊一般為白色,一旦成了黑色的綿羊,一定是個(gè)“敗類”。
Eric is a black sheep ,splashing one million dollars in a few years .
艾瑞克是個(gè)敗家子,幾年就揮霍了一百萬美金。

☆ A rough diamond 內(nèi)秀外粗的人
Rough diamond 指“沒加工的鉆石”,用來指內(nèi)秀外粗的人,真是妙語!
{脫口說}
The guy is really a rough diamond , and he can get everything right ,although he is a little bit careless .
這家伙真的是個(gè)外粗內(nèi)秀的人,他什么都能搞定,雖然他有點(diǎn)大大咧咧的。

☆ Be level-headed (calm and relaxed) 頭腦冷靜的人
可別以為 level-headed 是“小平頭”,“平頭”的英語說法是“crew cut”,他留了個(gè)平頭——He wears his hair in a crew cut .
{脫口說}
My boss ,John Smith ,is the most level –headed man I’ve ever known .
我的老板約翰.史密斯是我見過的頭腦最冷靜的人。

☆ A greaseball (greasy guy ) 油腔滑調(diào)的人,“老油條”
Grease 油脂的意思,greaseball 的意思是涂滿油脂的球,專指那些油腔滑調(diào)的人,這類人近似于我們常說的“嘴太貧”的人。
{脫口說}
Mary’s boyfriend is such a greaseball , I don’t know why she is so crazy about him .
瑪麗的男友是個(gè)油腔滑調(diào)的家伙,我不明白為什么她如此地迷戀他。

☆ Weigh on one’s mind 心事重重
{脫口說}
Do you know what has happened to her recently? She seems to have something that weighs heavily on her mind these days
你知道她最近發(fā)生了什么事嗎?她看起來心事很重。

☆ Be green-eyed (be jealousy) 嫉妒的“紅眼病”
源自莎士比亞名劇《奧賽羅》第3幕第3場(chǎng)中的臺(tái)詞“O! be ware , my lord ,of jealousy;/It’s the green-eyed monster… …“
中國人嫉妒時(shí),是“紅眼病”,英美國家的人則“綠了眼”,有意思。在美國,有時(shí)直接用green表示嫉妒。
When I got the well-paid job in a foreign company , my friends were somewhat green with envy .
當(dāng)我在一家外企找了份收入豐厚的工作時(shí),我的朋友都有點(diǎn)嫉妒我。
☆ Your doggy looks quite lovely , doesn’t he ?
(你的狗寶寶看上去真可愛。

☆ Excuse me ,but your blue coat is pretty beautiful ,Where did you buy it ?
(打擾你了。你的藍(lán)上衣真是漂亮,哪兒買的?)

在同外國人士交往過程中,你要注意別人的外表是否有了大的變化或添了新的裝飾,如新發(fā)型、新衣服、首飾等。然后加以適當(dāng)?shù)馁澝?但無須過分,否則就有虛情假意之嫌.即便是對(duì)方外觀沒有大的改觀,但比平時(shí)略顯精神,你也可以說,

☆ “Ben, you look very good today.”或Ben ,you’re looking energetic these days .”
(本,你近來顯得活力十足。)

在美國,對(duì)別人新添置的物品都要習(xí)慣地加以贊美,如

☆ “Hey, I’m crazy about your new bicycle.”
(嘿,我真喜歡你的新自行車。)

☆ “Your new dress has brilliant color!”
(你的新衣服顏色真鮮艷!)

如果被邀請(qǐng)去參觀朋友的住宅、辦公室或公司,對(duì)其加以贊美就是比不可少的了。

☆ “I can’t imagine you have such a splendid house !”
(真不敢相信你竟有這么豪華的房子。)

☆ “How nice your office looks “
(你的辦公室看上去不錯(cuò)。)

要知道,沒人不愛聽這些。

不過在吃飯時(shí),外國人對(duì)你菜肴的贊美往往只是禮貌,即使他們吃不慣,他們也會(huì)說“The dish is delicious ”可不要拿出中國人的豪爽,沒完沒了給他夾菜,浪費(fèi)了不說,還常常弄得對(duì)方難堪。

表達(dá)贊美時(shí)需要注意以下情況:

1、贊美一兩句即可,當(dāng)別人表示感謝之后就可打住,或進(jìn)入別的話題。

2、若別人向你展示新買的衣服等,即便你對(duì)它感覺不如意,也要盡量發(fā)現(xiàn)你感興趣的地方,如顏色、樣式等加以贊美。

3、中國人很少當(dāng)面夸贊別人的妻子長得如何漂亮,而在西方文化中, 對(duì)別人妻子的贊美是活躍氣氛并且很受歡迎的。不過,贊美之后,你的眼睛久久不能從那女士的臉上挪開,可就另當(dāng)別論了。

4、贊美別人的首飾或衣服之后不要畫蛇添足,
問她一句,“It must be very expensive. How much is it?”(這一定很貴吧。多少錢?)

5、無論別人怎樣贊美你,你只要一句“Thanks a lot.”就足以達(dá)到交流的效果,無須中國式的謙虛,“No, No”,會(huì)讓贊美你的人莫明其妙,甚至認(rèn)為你懷疑他的審美觀有問題。

6、美國老師上課時(shí)大多慈悲為懷,只要學(xué)生開口,無論怎樣信口開河或者牛頭不對(duì)馬嘴,老師都會(huì)說“Good job!”;“Very nice!”;“Ok, you have a creative answer”;“What an original opinion!”。這既能鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生,又能激發(fā)學(xué)生參與的積極性。這可是中國老師不妨學(xué)學(xué)的地方。

7、在英美國家的各種聚會(huì)上,女士們?滟澴约旱恼煞蛴心芰,夸贊自己的孩子如何聰明可愛;男士們也?滟澴约旱钠拮訙厝峥扇耍滟澴约旱睦习迦绾蔚刂赜米约,這既能活躍氣氛,又能盡顯自己人性美的一部分。若有機(jī)會(huì)你參加外國人的ball(舞會(huì)),你也不妨收起你的謙虛,將你的贊美適時(shí)適度地表達(dá)出來。
break one's heart

  由break 和beart構(gòu)成的詞很多,如:hearbreak(極度傷心); hearbreaking(使心碎的),heat-broken(極度傷心的) ,大家可能注意到都是和"傷心"有關(guān),break one's heat 就是指?jìng)改橙说男摹?/p>

實(shí)戰(zhàn)運(yùn)用:

A:You look so sad ! what happened
B: I broke up with my girl friend yesterday
A: Did you ? I had the same experience ,It almost broke my heart .
B : But luckily you're all right now .

brush to one side

  brush的意思是"推、拂"從字面上看,該習(xí)語的意思是:"把… …拂到一邊去,",由此引申為"不屑一顧"

實(shí)戰(zhàn)運(yùn)用:

A : Helen's become so proud since she married that rich man .
B : I once talked with her ,but she brushed all my suggestion to one side .
A : She'll ask for it .
B: Sure .

butt in

butt 有"沖、撞、冒冒失失地開"的意思。在美國俚語中,butt in 指"干涉、插嘴"。

實(shí)戰(zhàn)運(yùn)用:

A: Don't butt in ,You're still wet behind the ears You know nothing about our business.
B: Why don't you let me air my opinions ? I have no say in this house .
A : What do you know about our business ? Your mum and I have been in trouble .
B: That's why I wanted to know what the trouble is I might be of some help .
