1、 赞美貌美惊人高颜值 不管是哪国人,跟不太熟的人都可以跟人家打照面进行问候,但是对于别人的赞美基本都是无法抵御的,尤其是在看到漂亮的美女,不论是小哥哥还是小姐姐都忍不住上去搭讪,那如何成功引起美人的注意呢? to be a beauty queen,在人们的观念中,皇后/女王应该是女人中最高级别的,不管是在权力层面还是在美貌层面,于是有了这个beauty queen: She is a beauty queen.(= very beautiful) 假如女人能使男人拜倒她的石榴裙下或神魂颠倒,那么就可以说:Her beauty (attraction) has caused his knees to shake / to quiver.(她的漂亮迷人使他膝部发抖)。 She made him feel up there in the clouds.(= on clouds nine = on the top of the world)(她使他神魂颠倒,飘飘如仙。) 其实,所谓“情人眼里出西施(Beauty is in the eyes of beholder)”,世上的美或丑,只是主观的看法而已。 雅思英语口语英语速成班:http://www.yy1.com/(剑桥,新概念等教材) 2、遇到尬聊发生冲突吵架 如果两人辩论,吵架,抬杠,你要别人“打住”,可以说,hold it right there. I hate his guts.我最讨厌他。也有说I hate him guts. Guts是肠子,相当于“恨之入骨”的意思。He doesn’t have much guts.他是个胆小鬼。ut feeling直觉 Nuts,果仁,核,为复数时,意为“疯子”,He is nuts。他有神经病。He went nuts and killed a guy.他发疯了,结果杀了一个人。You are driving me nuts.你真是要把我逼疯。a tough nut to crack,一项艰巨的任务,一个难解之题 How is everything? (还好吗?) I am just stuck in a rut, doing the same things every day. I wish I could do something different. (烦死了,每天都是干同样的活,我真想换个活法。) rut日常的,每天都如此,get in a rut,日复一日,天天如此 be (stuck) in a rut对老一套感到枯燥乏味be tongue-tied舌头打结,说不出话来be up to one'S ears非常忙碌beat one's brains out绞尽脑汁behind bars坐牢... 3、跟不同朋友见面寒暄 I am just ecstatic about going to visit you soon.马上要见你,我高兴死了。 A dap and dip打个照面,露下脸就走。 Matt :Are we going to Jon’s party?我们去琼的聚会吗? Darryl:Yeah, but I don’t want to stay long, so let’s make it a dap and dip.那就去吧,不过我可不想多呆,顶多就打个照面就走人。 就算你对这个陌生人完全不了解,事实上有一点你是知道的-你知道他们与你共处一室。“So what brings you here?” 你就可以这么问,这句话可以意译为:什么风把你给吹来了? I would like to get a job within couching distance.我想找个不用走路就可以上班的工作。Couching distance,沙发距离,就是坐在沙发上不起身也能够得着。这是那种couch potato喜欢做的美梦。 4、跟朋友吃饭谈论味道 Yukky难吃,说这个词时还要做一个难吃的表情。Where did you get this food? It was yukky.你从哪里弄了这吃的?那么难吃。 与yukky相反的词是yummy,好吃极了。说这个词时,要不然就把音拖一下,要不然说它两次,表示你真的喜欢主人做的这道菜。 I have totally sold out to your idea.我100%地赞同赞同你的意见。类似的话还有If you are not careful enough, you will buy into his bad idea.如果你不小心的话,你就会采纳他的这馊主意。 同志们有get到吗?高级的英语口语,更多的地道的文化特色,并没有多么高深的语法结构和高级词汇,只是简单的常用英语单词,但是往往应用的是独特的含义,俚语成分较多。所以练习高级口语更多注重实际蕴含的文化内涵。 |
