美式英语俚语

俚语是粗俗或通行面极窄的方言词,英语俚语是英语中常用语言,也是非正式语言。

在外国学英语, 最有趣的大概就是可以听到很多俚语。很多时候光听那些句子, 好像不容易马上可以会意出来他们在说什么, 听了几次后, 就

慢慢可以了解这些俚语的含意了。不过, 不管什么语言, 都应该考虑到说

话的对象、场合与时间, 有些俚语并不适合在正式的场合用。如:

1. I couldn't care less.

这句话的意思是「我不在乎」,「缺乏兴趣」(lack of interest),也就是:I don't care at all. 或I don't give a hoot. 例如:

人家如果问:What do you think of the budget-cut?(你对预算削减有何看法?)你回答:I couldn't care less.(我毫不在乎)

至于I couldn't care more. 就是「我很在乎」(I care a lot.)或I care deeply. 同理:

I couldn't agree more.=I totally agree.(我完全同意)

2. No bones about it.

意思是:真实的,诚恳的(truly, sincerely or exactly),也就是to make no bones about it.(bone 要加s, it 是指something)例如:

His wife is beautiful;no bones about it.(他的太太真是很漂亮)

3. take it on me!

意思是:「这是我的,请用吧!」「这是免费的」(help yourself to it; it is free),这多半是指吃的东西或一些不贵重的东西。例如:

Here are some candies from England; take one on me. (这是来自英国的糖果,尝一个吧!) (one = candy)

可见take 后面的it,是指something,而on 的后面通常不指别人,所以多半也只用在第一人称单数me。

(假如夫妇在一起,也可以说:Take it on us.)

4. I am from Missouri.

这句话有时后面要加一句:「I need to be shown.」或「You have got to show me.」,意思是Missouri 州的人很固执(stubborn),不太信任别人,一定要人家「证明一下」(prove it to me),所以密苏里州也被称为「The Show Me State」。

据说这句话所以流行(尤其在美国中西部) 是因为美国一些名人都住过密苏里州,包括Harry Truman, Mark Twain, Walt Disney 等。后来老外不轻易相信别人时,就使用这句话。(也有半开玩笑性质) 例如:

He is not easily convinced because he is from Missouri. (他是来自密苏里州,所以不容易说服他。)

Don't try to fool me; I am from Missouri.(You have got to show me.) (别愚弄我,我是来自密苏里州。)

英语常用俚语

英语中的俚语、口语或“顺口溜”很多,它们的意义,往往与字面意义不同,有时也不合文法的结构,所以正确了解和灵活使用,是学习英语者的难题之一。下面即是常见的一些,供读者参考。 1. to be (或become) fed up with (someone 或something):意思是对某人或某事感到讨厌或厌倦(to get tired of; to be disgusted or to get sick of); 例如:I am fed up with his constant complaints.(他常常的抱怨令我厌烦。) We all became fed up with his long speech.(他的长篇演说我们都觉得讨厌。) The husband has been fed up with his wife's nagging.(老公对老婆的唠叨感到厌烦。) 如果只用「to be fed up」也可以: I will not wait for her; I am fed up. (我不想再等她了;我厌了。) (动词时态是:feed, fed, fed) 可见这句俚语似乎有「被动味道」,如果用feed,意思又不同了。 例如:The mother will feed the baby with milk.(母亲喂婴儿牛奶。) (feed 是及物动词) The cattle feed on grass (牛以草为生。)(feed 是不及物动词) 但是The cattle were fed with the grass by the farmer.(农夫用草喂牛。) (cattle 是复合名词,意为复数); 可以说:I am fed up with him. (我讨厌他) (但不能说:I feed up with him.) 2. to be in a rut:是指对每天同样的工作或是墨守成规一成不变的习惯,感到单调乏味 (to be tired of routine job; nothing new or excited) (rut 这个字本意是惯例或老套)。 例如:He has not been promoted for 20 years; he must be in a rut.(他廿年未获升级,一定感到单调枯燥。) After thirty years of the same job, he feels he is in a rut.(干了卅年同样的工作,他觉得枯燥乏味。)所以要放弃单调枯燥的生活方式,就是to get out of the rut. 例如:If you hate your old job, you need to get out of the rut.(假如你不喜欢你的老工作,你就要走出乏味的日子。) 3. to cut the cord: 意思是父母要让儿女离家过著独立自主的生活 (let your children leave home and become independent) (只用於父母与儿女间的关系); 例如:When your children are old enough to take care of themselves, you have to cut t he cord.(当你的孩子长大可以照顾他们自己时,你就应该让他们自力更生。)(即切断依赖父母的脐带。) It is very difficult for many Chinese parents to cut the cord with their children.(许多中国父母很难让儿女完全独立自主。)(注:这里的cord,是指umbilical cord 即脐带。) 4. to start from square one: 意思是上次没有成功,必须回到起点从头做起 (something did not succeed in the first place, have to start over again)(这与to be bac

英语俚语常用语

英语俚语常用语 A little bird told(or whispered)me. 有人私下告诉我。whisper指“耳语”或“密谈”。 例子: -How did you find out I had a new job?你怎么知道我找到了新工作? -Ah,a little bird told me.哦,我听说的。 此外,这个短语后面也可以跟从句,比如: A little bird told me that today is your birthday. 消息灵通人士告诉我今天是你的生日。 所以,下回当你再想表示某事是听说来的,并不确定,这句话就可以派上用场啦。 fight the clock. 字面意思为“与钟表斗争”,实际上就是指“争分夺秒”或“抢时间”。 比如: Senior three students are fighting the clock preparing for the college entrance examines. 高三的同学在争分夺秒准备大学入学考试。 再如: If you don’t fight the clock to enrich yourself,you will surely be lagged behind soon.

如果你不抓紧时间充实自己的话,你会很快被甩在后面的。 此外,英语里还有个类似的表示法,即:work against the clock,意思与fight the clock近似。例如: Workers are working against the clock in order to finish building the Subway Station before the celebration of50th birthday of our country. 为了在我国建国50周年大庆之前完成地铁的建设任务,工人们在争分夺秒地工作。 once in a blue moon. 字面意思为“在蓝月亮里”,引申为“千载难逢”。 出现蓝月亮的机会并非常见,因此,once in a blue moon的意思就是“极少见,极难得”或“千载难逢”。比如: Our boss is a miser.He gives us a treat only once in a blue moon.我们的老板是个铁公鸡。他招待我们一顿可真是千载难逢。 再比如: You will be able to see a dinosaur once in a blue moon.Why don’t you go to the exhibition? 很难有机会看到恐龙的。为什么不去看看那个展览? a flash in the pan. 昙花一现,转瞬即逝,多用来形容某事“持续时间短”。 flash指“闪光”,pan指“旧式枪的火药池”。a flash in the pan指“火药在药池点燃后所发出的闪光”,一般用来形容某事“持续时间极短暂”。比如:
