唠嗑: Chew the fat 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:chew the 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“chew the 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“chew the 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 chew the 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chew the cud(深思);chew the rag(聊天,争论,发牢骚)。 恶有恶报恶有恶报恶有恶报恶有恶报 “善有善报,恶有恶报,不是不报,时候未到。”一看到这句话,就想起武侠剧里一位面无表情、修行颇深的方丈在开导某位施主。那么,这个“恶有恶报”该怎么用英语表达呢?那就是:“chickens come home to roost”。 进退两难进退两难进退两难进退两难 郑中基在《左右为难》里唱道:“我的决定,会有怎样的伤害?面对着爱人和朋友,那一个我该放开?一边是友情,一边是爱情,左右都不是,为难了自己。”相信很多人都遇到过左右为难、进退两难的情境吧。那么,英语中如何表达呢?请看:“between a rock and a hard place”。 做个做个做个做个“得力助手得力助手得力助手得力助手” 一个朋友,刚进一家公司没多久,就成了上司的得力助手。有一次他胃疼,上司都特地打电话来慰问。我们赶紧套他的秘诀,结果他说:其他人都懒,我比较勤快而已。哪个上司不喜欢能干活的员工呀。看来,我们要向他学习了,做上司的“man Friday”。 坚持坚持坚持坚持!!!! 一直很佩服一个大学同学,那是一个非常有个性的人。当时,大家上选修课都是能不选就不选,腾出时间玩。而人家却不管别人怎么做怎么说,把课排得满满的,一直坚持到毕业。这样的人用英语说就是:“stick to his guns”。 留个好印象留个好印象留个好印象留个好印象!!!! 还记得小品《英雄母亲的一天》里一个很搞笑的镜头:电视台的记者来给老太太录象,让她从门外走进来。结果,老太太一紧张,不知道该迈哪只脚,就一直把右脚放前面,像螃蟹一样横着就进来了。显然,老太太知道要把最好的那只脚放前面(put your best foot forward)。 你是不是我那杯茶你是不是我那杯茶你是不是我那杯茶你是不是我那杯茶???? 网络上流行着一部小说,名字叫《你是不是我那杯茶》,讲的是一个漂在上海的女子寻找爱情的故事。从名字可以看出,她在寻找的那杯茶就是她理想的意中人。其实,这个浪漫的名字是来自英语中的“my cup of tea”。 “摇钱树摇钱树摇钱树摇钱树”!!!! 小时候,自从看了神笔马良,就梦想着自己也有一支神笔,画一棵摇钱树。想吃零食、买玩具的时候就摇一下,钱就掉手里了。那么,摇钱树用英语怎么说呢?请看:“cash cow”。 口语口语口语口语::::“改天吧改天吧改天吧改天吧!!!!” 在美国,棒球用语种类繁多,棒球文化更是融入于美国的社会文化生活之中。继续刚讲过的俚语“有一手有一手有一手有一手 ”,我们再来看个源于棒球的口语“Rain check”(字面意:“雨票”;引申义:“改天再赴约吧!”) 想个语境:朋友邀你看电影或共进晚餐,偏你有事不能赴约,这时就可用婉谢的口吻告诉他:“May I take a rain check(改天可以吗)?” 或者,简单来句:“Rain check?”“Rain check”出现于19世纪80年代,最初指“棒球赛因下雨延期举行时观众得到的‘未来’入场券”。 随着时间的推移,“rain check”的语义范围逐渐扩大,可用来形容不同情况下对未来的许诺,如:“比赛改期举行时的‘展期入场券’”、“缺货商品未来出售时的‘不涨价保证’”或“谢约时的‘改天建议’”。看个例句: A:How about a cup of coffee? (一起去和咖啡?) B:Rain check.(改天吧。) 俚语俚语俚语俚语::::“在行在行在行在行、、、、有一手有一手有一手有一手” [ 2006-11-07 08:48 ] 棒球有“美国国球”之称。或许,一本“棒球百科全书”比一本简单的字典更能反映美国文化。据《迪克逊新棒球词典》(Paul Dickson所著)记载,俚语“have on the ball”源于棒球运动,指的是“某人有一手,做某事很在行”。

:一个外宾想上厕所,便对翻译说:“I wonder if I can gosomewhere?”(我可以方便一下吗?)而翻译却把somewhere误解为“某处”,因而回答道“Yes, you can goanywhere in China。”(行,中国你哪儿都可以去。)外宾不禁愕然。可见,如不了解英语中“厕所”的一些表达法是会误事的。1.Public lavatory 意为“公厕”。在公共场所,厕所门上都标有Gent's(男厕),或Ladies'(女厕),有时也标有 Men's, Men's room, Gentleman's, Women's Women's room. 例如:Where is the Gent's?(厕所在哪儿?)If you would like a wash, the Gentleman's is just over there。(如果要上厕所,男厕就在那边。)2.toilet 是最常用的一个词。可指“公厕”,也可指“私厕”。例如:I wonder where the toilet is。(我想知道厕所在哪儿。)3.lavatory 是个客气的词,但不如toilet常用。4.bathroom 是书面语。5.loo 是一个口语词,在英国用得很普通,主要指私人住宅中的厕所。例如:Excuse me, would you like to tell me where the loo is?(请问,厕所在哪儿?)6.powder room 是美语,女士常用。例如:I would like to powder my nose。就表现了美国人的幽默。7.wash room, washing room, restroom 常用于美国英语。8.W.C。是water closet 的缩写,常用于英国英语,表示“有抽水没有设备的厕所”,有时也可用手势表示,即拇指和食指圈成圆,其他三指向上,模仿成英文W和C的形态。9.John 是俚语。例如:Last night I went to visit John twice。(昨晚我去了趟厕所。)10.go and see one's aunt 是俚语,常用于英国英语,表示“上厕所”“去大便”。
