英语俚语中最易误解的10个单词

1.dude(老兄,老哥)   很多人认为该词单指“花花公子,纨绔子弟”的意思,实际上此词是叫男性年轻人的常用词,与guy的意思相同,只是guy用的范围更广。例子:Hey dude look at that girl.(喂,老兄,看那个女孩)

2.chick(女孩)   容易被误解为“鸡,..,实际上此词是叫女孩的常用词,语气中确实有轻佻、不尊重的倾向。例子:Look at that chick at the door.(看门口的那个女孩)

3.pissed off(生气,不高兴)   千万别认为是“尿尿”的意思,piss off在字典中则是“滚开,滚蛋”的意思,实际上此词是表示“生气,不高兴”的意思,与angry同意。例子:Man,is that guy pissed of ?(哎呀,那家伙真的生气了)

4.Hey,Give me five(嗨,好啊!)   此短语非常流行,经常在大片中出现,常在击掌庆贺时用。例子:Hey,dude! Give me five!(嗨,老兄,好啊!)

5.freak out(大发脾气)   总是在片子中看到这个词,freak本义是“奇异的,反常的”的意思,但freak out是“大发脾气”的意思,out也可以省略,这个词在美语中很常见,老式说法是be very upset。例子:He’s gonna freak(他快要发脾气了)

6.Get out of here(别开玩笑了,别骗人了)   大家很容易联想到“滚开”的意思,其实,现在很多时候都用在“别开玩笑了,别骗人了”的意思里,在美国片子中常可以听到。例子:(Man:)You look very beautiful(你很漂亮)(Girl)Get out of here.(别骗了)

7.gross(真恶心)   此词不是“混乱”的意思,字典中gross是“总的,毛重的”的意思,实际上此词是表示“恶心”的意思与gag相近,是美国年轻人一天到晚挂在嘴边的词。例子:Yuck, what is this stuff?It looks gross.(哎呀,这是什么东西?真恶心)

8.Hello(有没有搞错)   并不总是打招呼的意思,有时是“有没有搞错”的意思,要根据上下文来判断。例子:Hello,anybody home,we’ll be late!(有没有搞错, 我们要迟到了)   9.green(新手,没有经验)   不是“绿色”的意思,也不是“生气”的意思,有时表示“新手,没有经验”。例子:She’s really green,she looks nervous.(她是新手,看起来很紧张)

10.Have a crush on someone(爱上某人)   由于crush是“压碎,碾碎”的意思,因此整个短语容易被误解为“对某人施加压力”的意思,实际上此词表示“爱上某人”,与fall in love with 同意。例子:She thinks she has a crush on John.(她认为她爱上约翰了)

英语俚语——与nose有关的短语

出身记者世家的胡舒立从前也是一名记者,她因泼辣的性格和坚持求实报导而闻名。

3. pay through the nose

按字面解释,pay through the nose就是通过鼻子来付钱,这听起来似乎很痛苦,而实际上,pay through the nose的确切意思是付出比真正的价值高得多的钱,也可以说是付出的钱实在太多而让人感到心痛。

eg. My brother Bob borrowed the money to open his restaurant five years ago when the interest rate was very high, so he’s been paying through the nose ever since.

7. keep one’s nose to the grindstone

连续辛勤地工作

grindstone是“磨刀石”的意思。这个表达很形象,按字面意思来看,是说鼻子对着磨刀石。想象一下一个人低着头磨刀的样子,的确给人一种埋头苦干的直观印象啊。而且这个短语用动词keep表达一种持续的状态,把“埋头”的意思更生动地表达了出来。

这年头,只会埋头苦干的人是挣不了什么大钱的。

字面意思是:没有我鼻子上的皮。乍听起来让人有些摸不着头脑,这一俗语的实际意思是:……与我无关,我不在乎。

eg. Hey, it’s no skin of my nose if Susie’s going out now with that guy! I don’t care what she does —I broke up with her a month ago, when I met Helen.

苏茜现在是否跟那个家伙好,一起出去玩,这不关我的事!她干什么我都无所谓。我在遇到海伦以后就和她断了关系。

10. cut off one’s nose to spite one’s face

eg. If you resign to inconvenience your boss, you are cutting off your nose to spite your face.

据说,明代才子解缙幼年家住曹尚书府第竹园对面,在家门上贴了一副对联:“门对千竿竹,家藏万卷书。”曹尚书不忿自己的园景给他借用,于是叫人把竹砍短,最后索性全部砍去。解缙见了,随即把对联改为“门对千竿竹短无,家藏万卷书长有”。曹尚书不但没有难倒解缙,而且空自毁了自家的竹林,用英文来形容就是cut off one’s nose to spite one’s face。
