生活类英语俚语 篇一：生活中常用的俚语表达 生活中常用的俚语表达 学习英语语法及词汇已经不容易，要试着理解英语俚语更有点不可思议。一些俚语很难理解，一些更似乎不知所云。以下就有五条 有趣的英语俚语你可以在日常生活中使用。 "I'mhappyasaclam." 想一想蛤蛎。这和其他事物没任何关系啊。它们只是躺在沙滩或在海滩无所事事。它们可不需要工作。当然听起来很高兴，不是吗？如果有人问，“你今天怎么样？”你就可以这么回答他们，告诉他 们你的心情有多舒畅。 "Iwouldn'touchthat(orhim/her)withaten-footpole." 喜欢某物吗？可能是垃圾或是发臭的食物那样恶心的东西。又或是你不想交朋友甚至不想多聊的某个人呢？呣，你非常的不喜欢某 事物或某人，不想接触甚至不想靠近他们-就算是十英尺以外也不行！ "IthinkIwentoverboard." 如果你做事做过火了或是不够负责任的话，你就可以这么说。“Goingoverboard”字面上的意思从船上掉下来，但是，作为俚语 的话，这是一种承认自己做了不该做的事的表达方式。除此之外， 类似的还有，“I’vesteppedoveraline”和“I’vegonetoofar.” 你还可以使用它来表示某人犯了个错误。 "Youdon'thavealegtostandon." 不不，这可不是告诉你某人没有腿。意思是他们争论的意见不对。他们没有站立的腿是因为他们没有支持他们论点的事实。这个俚语 是告诉某人他们不对的好方法。
"Breakaleg!" 真正的意思正好和字面上的相反。如果你对某人说此话时，意思是在祝福他们好运！这个俚语来自于一个迷信之说，无论你大声说 出什么，真实的结果都会和说的相反。因为出处于剧院，这一说法 通常用来祝福某些表现出色。因此如果有人要作商务演示或是面试 的话，你这么说别人听了就一定很开心。 篇二：常用英语俚语小汇总 常用英语俚语小汇总 英语俚语是一种非正式的语言，通常用在非正式的场合，所以在用这些俚语是一定要考虑到所用的场合和对象，最好不要随意用这 些俚语。下面是一些常用的俚语。 abirdinthehandisworthtwointhebush一鸟在手，胜似二鸟在林 ablankslate干净的黑板（新的一页，新的开始）abonetopick 可挑剔的骨头（争端，不满）acatnap打个盹儿 aouchpotato躺椅上的马铃薯（懒鬼）aheadache头痛（麻烦事）aknockout击倒（美得让人倾倒）aloadoffmymind心头大石落地apainintheneck脖子疼（苦事） apieceofcake一块蛋糕（小菜一碟，易事一件） ashotinthedark盲目射击（瞎猜）asinkingship正在下沉的船 aslapintheface脸上挨了一耳光（公然受辱） asocialbutterfly社交蝴蝶（善于交际，会应酬的人） athorninsomeone''sside腰上的荆棘（芒刺在背） aturncoat反穿皮袄的人（叛徒）aweightoffmyshoulders放下 肩头重担anaceupmysleeve袖里的王牌 antsinone''spants裤裆里有蚂蚁（坐立不安） backinthesaddle重上马鞍（重整旗鼓）backontrack重上轨道（改 过自新）backfire逆火（弄巧成拙，适得其反）ballandchain铁球
常用的俚语大全精选 Why do we bury the hatchet? 我们为什么要把斧头埋起来? Bury the hatchet字面意为把“战斧埋起来”，引申义为“和解，重归于好”，可以追溯到17世纪美国当地的习俗，交战双方把战斧埋在地下，那么就表明双方停战，就此 和解。 Steal someone’s thunder “抢走某人的风头，窃取某人的创意” 在18世纪，有位名叫约翰·丹尼斯的演员兼剧团经理发明了一种机器，可以在舞台 上模仿打雷的声音，但是当他得知有位后期工作人员使用了他的机器时，他生气地大叫：“ They will not let my play run， but they steal my thunder!他们不打算让我的 戏续演，反而想窃取我的发明!” play to the gallery “迎合低级趣味” 从17世纪中期开始，剧院里最便宜的座位就被称作是gallery，所以play to the gallery就是意为“迎合低级趣味”。 by the skin of my teeth “虎口脱险” By the skin of my teeth’ come from意为“虎口脱险，死里逃生”，取自《圣经·约伯记》中的一个故事，在这个故事中，约伯遭受了来自撒旦的可怕磨炼，但是最终 被上帝所救。 eat no fish “忠于政府的人” 在英国伊丽莎白一世统治期间，英语中出现了一个新成语叫“eat no fish”不吃鱼。 它产生的时代背景是这样的，伊丽莎白一世即位后1558―1603在位面临的首要任务 是处理遗留的宗教问题。
她带领英国干脆利落地又转向了新教：在1559年，就很快颁布了新的《至尊法案》，重立英国国教，与罗马教廷决裂，重申英国国王为英国教会最高首领。 1571年，她又促使国会通过作为英国国教会官方教义的《三十九信条》，最终确立了英国国教。 作为《三十九信条》中的一项规定，英国国教会摒弃了天主教星期五不准吃肉在天主 教里，星期五不能吃肉，就吃鱼的斋戒。《三十九信条》在英国历史上意义重大，它一直 沿用到今天。 英国的许多百姓为了表明自己的态度：站在伊丽莎白一世一边与天主教划清界线，他 们的一项标志性的做法和口号是“星期五不吃鱼”。 “星期五不吃鱼”又缩略成“不吃鱼”。在伊丽莎白一世为正统的社会里，“不吃鱼”就成了一种与政府保持一致的标志，于是在英语中，“不吃鱼”就成了表示拥戴政府的行为，“不吃鱼的人”就成了“忠于政府的人”以至于成了“诚实可信的人”的同义词。 伊丽莎白一世在世时就以“The Virgin Queen”“童贞女王”著称，她一生都保持独 身没有结婚。 不过她年轻时，因为没有出嫁，所以对别人的追求从不拒绝，也不同意，做无表态状，这样在国际上拉扯着各方关系在，她利用她未婚待嫁的身份，对先后向其求婚的西班牙、 神圣罗马帝国、法国、瑞典等王室虚与委蛇，以自己的婚姻为筹码，在欧洲大陆各国，特 别是法国和西班牙这两大强国之间进行权力平衡，为英国最大限度地谋求国家利益。 Chew the fat 唠嗑 北方话把“闲聊”称作“唠嗑”，chew the fat是个俗语，和“唠嗑”的意思很相近。不过，也有人对此产生异议：chewthe fat明明是“细嚼肥肉”，似乎和“聊天、唠嗑” 八杆子打不着!呵呵，寻答案还得细查辞源。 Fat在短语中指“咸腌肉”，所以，谈到“chewthe fat”往往会让人想到这样一幅画面：几个朋友，几瓶啤酒，几个家常小菜牛肉干，豆腐干，烟熏肉，于是乎，大家伙酒劲 儿足，话头儿兴，喝酒、吃菜、谈天说地几不误……而从辞源上讲，短语“chewthe fat”确实由此而来。 所以，若邀朋友到家中唠嗑您可这么说：“Hey， John， why not come over and chewthe fat?” 另外，chew咀嚼在英语中常用来比喻“沉思，抱怨，闲谈”等一些行为，如短语chewthe cud深思;chew the rag聊天，争论，发牢骚。
