美国俚语学习

本篇学习要点： 1、 kick back 休息，和⼤家⼀起玩 2、 catch a flick 看电影 3、 It’s chintzy 很便宜 4、 drag a fag 抽烟 5、 Let’s roll 我们⾛ 在⼀个阳光明媚的周末午后，我冲了⼀杯咖啡，拿来⼀份The New York Times，正准备好好享受⼀番时，⼿机突然响了起来，会是谁呢？放下报纸匆忙接起电话，‘hey, it’s me, Justin!’ 原来是班上的美国同学Justin打来的，‘are you at home? It’s time to just kick back and relax! Come and join us!’虽然我不太明⽩kick back的意思，但是从他的⼝⽓和周围嘈杂的声⾳可以听出，他这是在邀请我加⼊⼤家⼀起玩呢。

盛情难却，我只好舍弃这难得的清闲，与朋友们⼀起共度这个美好的下午了。

解读：在俚语中，kick back有很多种意思，包括把偷来的东西退还：kick back the stolen purse(退还钱包)，以及⽀付佣⾦：kick back $100 to someone as commission这两种意思。

⽽在本⽂中，则是休息，和⼤家⼀起玩的意思。

三个意思在⽣活中都很常见，要根据语境来使⽤，千万不要搞混哦。

赶到市中⼼，已经接近下午4点了，⼤⽼远就看到打扮花俏的Justin在冲我招⼿，他在班⾥向来以搞怪著称，想必这次的聚会也是他组织的吧。

和⼤家⼀⼀打过招呼，赶紧先问问接下来的⾏程，‘Let’s catch a flick, shall we? Lots of good flicks comes out this week.’ 看电影吗？昨天才在电视⾥看到Underworld的第三部续集Rise of Lycans上映了，还有Twilight在年轻⼈中也⼤受欢迎呢。

我举双⼿赞同！ 考试⼤解读：flick即是movie的俚语说法，catch a flick就是去看场电影的意思。

俚语是通过语言使用者之间的互动逐渐发展和演变的，具有一定的隐秘性和独特性。

二、英语俚语的发展历程1.起源和发展背景英语俚语起源于英国，随着英国殖民地的扩张，俚语传播到世界各地。

俚语的发展受到社会、文化、政治等多种因素的影响，不同的历史时期具有不同的特点。

2.历史上的重要阶段俚语在英国历史上的重要阶段包括：古英语时期、中世纪英语时期、现代英语时期。

在这些阶段中，俚语逐渐从非正式场合进入正式场合，成为英语的重要组成部分。

3.现代英语俚语的状况现代英语俚语呈现出多样化、丰富化的特点，受到全球化的影响，不同国家和地区的英语使用者互相交流，形成了许多具有地域特色的俚语。

三、俚语在英语学习中的重要性1.俚语在日常交流中的应用在日常交流中，俚语的使用能够使语言更加生动、形象，增强表达效果。

同时，俚语也是了解当地文化、风土人情的重要途径。

2.俚语与文化背景的关系俚语与文化背景密切相关，不同的地域、民族和文化背景会产生不同的俚语。

因此，学习俚语有助于了解和融入不同的文化。

3.学习俚语对英语能力的提升掌握丰富的俚语，能够提高英语表达的多样性和地道性，从而提升英语整体水平。

英语俚语在口语运用中的地位与作用英语俚语在口语运用中的地位与作用俚语，是英语当中的常用语言，主要指的是，一种较为粗俗、运用于非正式场合，而且往往被人认为是种不礼貌、不正式的语言。

目前，英语俚语在美国，应用的尤其广泛。

从乡下到城市，甚至是上流社会，人们在交谈时，或多或少都掺杂着俚语。

俚语的流行，使得人们语言交流过程中，更为轻松风趣，拉近了人们之间的关系，提高了人们的语言表达能力，因此，在英语口语中，应该加强对英语俚语的学习。

一、英语俚语的主要特征英语俚语有非常明显的三个特征，（1）风趣幽默。

例如，green hand被称为新手；Back in the day指的是过去，而baby mama并不是指妈妈，指的是女朋友；（2）俚语更新速度快。

由于许多俚语语词比较追求新颖、时尚，例如Fat 指的是：过得很滋润、过得不错；Fresh 指的是：很受欢迎喜的；（3）俚语比较口语化。

由于许多俚语被人看作是不礼貌的，例如He is pretty lousy（那人真差劲儿），Look at that chick（瞧那个妞儿）等等，这些俚语显得较为粗俗，因此，使用俚语的时候，要注意场合。

二、我们国内英语俚语的运用现状在我们国家，学生经过数十年的英语学习，所掌握的英语语法和词汇量能够满足日常会话的要求，然而由于中西方文化的差异性，国内英语口语教学忽视日常用语、俚语运用等原因，使得许多学生在学习了多年的英语后，仍然不能将所学的英语知识运用于自己的实际生活中。

有这样一则实例，一个外国友人想上卫生间，便向一路人问道，I wonder if I can go somewhere？，而路人却回答道，Yes，you can go anywhere in China.（可以，中国你哪儿都能去）。

外国友人一听，便有些错愕，中国是可以随地上厕所么。

由此可以看出，缺乏对英语俚语的理解，容易让人产生误解，也不利于双方很好的交流，因而学习者加强对英语俚语的运用，具有重要意义。
