Do you have any pet peeve? 你有什么样的怪毛病吗?所谓的pet peeve 就是个人生活习惯上的一些小毛病, 例如有些人不喜欢别人碰他的电脑, 要是你碰他的电脑他就会不高兴, 这就是所谓的pet peeve. (而非bad habit.) 通常pet peeve 都是比较无伤大雅的小毛病, 几乎每个人都有属于他自己的pet peeve. 所以就有老美跟我说过,2. Maybe I’m going out on a limb, but I think we still have to invest it.或许这么作有点冒险, 但我想我们还是要投资它. 一般人想到冒险, 直觉的反应就是,3. I don’t have skeleton in my closet.我没有什么不可告人的秘密. 每次竞选期间一到, 一定会看到候选人争相证明自己的过去是清白的, 没有什么不可告人的秘密. 这句话在英文里要怎么讲呢? 当然最简单的说法就是,4. Are you sure you are going to set us up? 你确定你要帮我们制造机会吗?在英文里制造机会可不是make a chance 喔! 虽然这是大家最自然会想到的说法. 正确的说法应该用set up 这个片语, 例如set you up 就是帮你制造机会的意思. 另外, 老美也很喜欢用fix up 和hook up 来表示撮合某人. 例如你有一个妹妹长得还可以, 你想把她介绍给你同学, 你就可以跟你同学说,5. Probably. It’s still up in the air. 大概吧. 但还不确定. 大家都应该常常有和别人相约的经验吧! 其实和别人相约是一件很不容易的事情. 一开始没女朋友觉得没人陪不想出门, 但就算有人陪了却又不知要去哪里, 而就算知道要去哪里, 又不知道要作什么. 不知道各位有没有这样的经验, 你问他我们今天见面要作什么, 他说我也不知道, 到时再看看吧. 其实这种情形中外皆然, 各位不必惊讶. 到时候再看看也是老美常说的一句话, 简单的讲法就是,haven’t decided yet.6. Okay. Just checking. 好吧. 我只是随囗问问. 在囗语中我们常会讲, 没什么, 我只是随囗问问而已. 这个随囗问问在英文里当然你可以讲,时你可以说,7. Do we need to hit a shower first? 我们需要先洗个澡吗?Hit 是一个老美很喜欢用, 但老中很不会用的动词, hit 指的是去开始作某件事. 像是在囗语中老美喜欢讲,8. That’s OK. 不用了.大家相信吗?9. Just right place, right time. 只不过是天时地利而已.大多数的人想到幸运, 都会直觉反应lucky. 但其实lucky 有很多种表示法. 像有一次我问老美怎么追到这么一个如花似玉的女朋友, 他回答我,什么我有免费的T 恤可拿, 我就很潇洒地回答他, deal.10. Same here. 我也是.我想当大家看到中文十句地道口语让你人气飙升来源新浪博客时间8个月前阅读9584 次字体[ 大中小] [收藏] [划词已启用]1. What are you up to? 你正在做什么？假设你在办公室想跟同事沟通下工作情况，又怕耽误对方的工作，就可以先问同事另外美国人见面时常用的问候语2. In the middle of something? 你正在忙吗？在上面已经提到了In the middle of something? (你正在忙吗？)这句话，惯用的说法是3. Maybe I’m going out on a limb, but I think we still have to invest it. 或许这么作有点冒险，但我想我们还是要投资它。

关于春节的来历与习俗的英语介绍

关于春节的来历与习俗的英语介绍

关于春节的来历与习俗的英语介绍 春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。那么我们用英语要怎么介绍春节的一些习俗传统呢?下面是小编为大家精心推荐春节习俗的英文介绍，希望能够对您有所帮助。 春节习俗 扫尘 Sweeping the Dust “Dust” is homophonic with "chen”(尘)in Chinese， which means old and past. In this way， "sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a thorough cleaning of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year. This custom shows a good wish of putting away old things to welcome a new life. In a word， just before the Spring Festival comes， every household will give a thorough cleaning to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new. 贴春联 Pasting Spring Couplets “The Spring Couplet”， also called "couplet” and "a pair of antithetical phrases”， is a special form of literature in China. The Spring Couplet is composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door and a horizontal scroll bearing an inscription， usually an auspicious phrase， above the gate. The sentence pasting on the right side of the door is called the first line of the couplet and the one on the left the second line. On the eve of the Spring Festival， every household will paste on doors a spring couplet written on red paper to give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival. In the past， the Chinese usually wrote their own spring couplet with a brush or asked others to do for them， while nowadays， it is common for people to buy the printed spring couplet in the market. 贴窗花和“福”字 Pasting Paper-cuts and "Up-sided Fu” Paper-cuts， usually with auspicious patterns， give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival and express the good wishes of Chinese people looking forward to a good life. In addition to pasting paper-cuts on windows， it is common for Chinese to paste the character "fu(福)”， big and small， on walls， doors and doorposts around the houses. "Fu(福)” shows people’s yearning toward a good life. Some people even invert the character "fu(福)” to signify that blessing has arrived because "inverted” is a homonym for "arrive” in Chinese. Now many kinds of paper-cuts and "fu(福)” can be seen in the market before the Festival. 守岁 Staying Up Late on New Year‘s Eve The tradition of staying up late to see New Year in originated from an interesting folk tale. In ancient China there lived a monster named Year， who was very ferocious. Year always went out from its burrow on New Year’s Eve to devour people. Therefore， on every New Year’s Eve， every household would have supper together. After dinner， no one dared go to sleep and all the family members would sit together， chatting and emboldening each other. Gradually the habit of staying up late on New Year’s Eve is formed. Thus in China， "celebrating the Spring Festival” is also called "passing over the year (guo nian)”。 However， now there are less and less people in cities who will stay up late to see New Year in. 贴年画 Pasting New Year Prints The custom of pasting New Year Prints originated from the tradition of placing Door Gods on the external doors of houses. With the creation of board carvings， New Year paintings cover a wide range of subjects. The most famous ones are Door Gods， Surplus Year after Year， Three Gods of Blessing， Salary and Longevity， An Abundant Harvest of Crops， Thriving Domestic Animals and Celebrating Spring. Four producing areas of New Year Print are Tɑohuɑwu of Suzhou， Yɑngliuqing of Tianjin， Wuqiɑng of Hebei and Weifang of Shangdong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is still kept in rural China， while it is seldom followed in cities. 吃饺子 Having Jiaozi On New Year’s Eve， the whole family will sit together to make jiaozi and celebrate the Spring Festival. The shape of jiaozi is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure. The tradition of having jiaozi is very important during the Spring Festival. You cannot have a complete Spring Festival without having jiaozi. (See page 82 for more information about "jiaozi”) 看春节联欢晚会 The CCTV New Year‘s Gala The New Year’s Gala is a variety show held by China Central Television (CCTV) since 1983. For every year since then at the turn of the Lunar New Year， the program begins at 8:00PM and lasts five or six hours. It brings laughter to billions of people， creates many popular words and produces lots of TV phenomena meriting attention. For over twenty years， its value has gone far beyond a variety show. It is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. Many Chinese would like to watch the gala while having the dinner on New Year’s Eve. 介绍中国新年除夕习俗的英语文章 Before New Year‘s Eve The celebration actually starts on New Year‘s Eve with the family reunion dinner.
