地道美语杂烩－Ａ
[size=9pt][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]地道美语杂烩[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]A
[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完，你烦透了，说“You are so boring “.(你真烦！)。“Shut up !”（闭嘴！）自然没错，可人家受得了吗？不如来一句“Oh, come on .Give me a break !” (帮帮忙，让我歇歇吧！)这多地道、多幽默。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]要想说人“气色好”。“You look fine !”当然不错，可如果你说”You’re in the pink !”就妙得多了，实际上，在英语口语中，表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]“他精力充沛”美国人说：“He is bouncy.”而不说“He is energetic ”,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]如：久仰，“I get mind of you “.比”I heard a lot about you.”轻松得多。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]代问他人好当然能用”Please remember me to your sister .” 或”Please give my best wishes to your father ”不过，若是很好的朋友，何不说，“Please give my love to Jim。”[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]在中国可不能随便说“我想你”，然而，当和西方人分手时说“I will miss you .”要比说“Good-bye”或“See you soon”有趣得多，不妨一试。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]有人开会迟到了，你若对他说 “You are late.”，听起来象是废话，若说“Did you get lost?”，则更能让他歉然，可别说成“Get lost!”那可是让人滚蛋的意思。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]别人征求你的意见，问能否开窗户等，你要说“You can do that.”就有点土了，用一句“Do you have the time? ”实际上，问他人的姓名，地址都可以这么用：“May I have your name?“要比”What’s your name? ”礼貌得多，不过警察例外。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用“It’s my secret. Don’t ask such a personal question.”回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说“I would rather not say.”（还是别说了吧！）。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]有时候，你想说什么，可说是想不起来，你可以说“Well …”“Let me see”“Just a moment ”或“It’s on the tip of my tongue.”等，想比之下，最后一个句型是最地道的。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]交谈时，你可能会转换话题，不要只说“By the way ”,实际上，“To change the subject”“Before I forget”“While I remember”“Mind you ”都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，“I know”可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍“I know”可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍“I know”,我敢保证，他不会再跟你说什么了。用“I know ”或“I got it ”就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说“I’m not clear about it .”不过如果你会说“It’s past my understanding”或“It’s beyond me .”你的教师定会惊讶不已的。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]要想将地道习语熟练地运用于口语，下面内容，不可不读：[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]☆ a black sheep 败家子[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]绵羊一般为白色，一旦成了黑色的绵羊，一定是个“败类”。[/color][/size][/font]

[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]艾瑞克是个败家子，几年就挥霍了一百万美金。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]☆ A rough diamond 内秀外粗的人[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==Rough diamond [/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]指“没加工的钻石”，用来指内秀外粗的人，真是妙语！[/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2]
{脱口说[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2]}
The guy is really a rough diamond , and he can get everything right ,although he is a little bit careless .

[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]☆ Be level-headed (calm and relaxed) 头脑冷静的人[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]可别以为 level-headed 是“小平头”，“平头”的英语说法是“crew cut”,他留了个平头——[/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2]He wears his hair in a crew cut .
{脱口说[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2]}

我的老板约翰.史密斯是我见过的头脑最冷静的人。 ☆ A greaseball (greasy guy ) 油腔滑调的人，“老油条”[/size][/font][/color]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]==Grease [/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]油脂的意思，greaseball 的意思是涂满油脂的球，专指那些油腔滑调的人，这类人近似于我们常说的“嘴太贫”的人。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]{[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]脱口说[/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2]}

玛丽的男友是个油腔滑调的家伙，我不明白为什么她如此地迷恋他。[/size][/font][/color]

[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]{[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]脱口说[/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2]}

你知道她最近发生了什么事吗？她看起来心事很重。 ☆ Be green-eyed (be jealousy) 嫉妒的“红眼病”[/size][/font][/color]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]源自莎士比亚名剧《奥赛罗》第3幕第3场中的台词“O! be ware , my lord ,of jealousy;/It’s the green-eyed monster… …“[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]中国人嫉妒时，是“红眼病”，英美国家的人则“绿了眼”，有意思。在美国，有时直接用green表示嫉妒。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]When I got the well-paid job in a foreign company , my friends were somewhat green with envy .
[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]当我在一家外企找了份收入丰厚的工作时，我的朋友都有点嫉妒我。[/color][/size][/font]

(打扰你了。你的蓝上衣真是漂亮，哪儿买的？[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2])
在同外国人士交往过程中，你要注意别人的外表是否有了大的变化或添了新的装饰，如新发型、新衣服、首饰等。然后加以适当的赞美,但无须过分,否则就有虚情假意之嫌.即便是对方外观没有大的改观，但比平时略显精神，你也可以说，[/size][/font][/color]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]☆ “Ben, you look very good today.”或Ben ,you’re looking energetic these days .”[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]([/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]本，你近来显得活力十足。[/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2])
在美国，对别人新添置的物品都要习惯地加以赞美，如 ☆ “Hey, I’m crazy about your new bicycle.”[/size][/font][/color]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]([/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]嘿，我真喜欢你的新自行车。[/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2])
☆ “Your new dress has brilliant color!”[/size][/font][/color]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]([/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]你的新衣服颜色真鲜艳！[/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2])
如果被邀请去参观朋友的住宅、办公室或公司，对其加以赞美就是比不可少的了。[/size][/font][/color]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]☆ “I can’t imagine you have such a splendid house !”[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]([/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]真不敢相信你竟有这么豪华的房子。[/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2])
☆ “How nice your office looks “[/size][/font][/color]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]（你的办公室看上去不错。）[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]要知道，没人不爱听这些。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]不过在吃饭时，外国人对你菜肴的赞美往往只是礼貌，即使他们吃不惯，他们也会说“The dish is delicious ”可不要拿出中国人的豪爽，没完没了给他夹菜，浪费了不说，还常常弄得对方难堪。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]表达赞美时需要注意以下情况：[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]1[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]、赞美一两句即可，当别人表示感谢之后就可打住，或进入别的话题。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]2[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]、若别人向你展示新买的衣服等，即便你对它感觉不如意，也要尽量发现你感兴趣的地方，如颜色、样式等加以赞美。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]3[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]、中国人很少当面夸赞别人的妻子长得如何漂亮，而在西方文化中， 对别人妻子的赞美是活跃气氛并且很受欢迎的。不过，赞美之后，你的眼睛久久不能从那女士的脸上挪开，可就另当别论了。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]4[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]、赞美别人的首饰或衣服之后不要画蛇添足，[/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=宋体][size=2]
问她一句，“It must be very expensive. How much is it?”（这一定很贵吧。多少钱啊？）[/size][/font][/color]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]5[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]、无论别人怎样赞美你，你只要一句“Thanks a lot.”就足以达到交流的效果，无须中国式的谦虚，“No, No”，会让赞美你的人莫明其妙，甚至认为你怀疑他的审美观有问题。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]6[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]、美国老师上课时大多慈悲为怀，只要学生开口，无论怎样信口开河或者牛头不对马嘴，老师都会说“Good job!”；“Very nice!”；“Ok, you have a creative answer”；“What an original opinion!”。这既能鼓励学生，又能激发学生参与的积极性。这可是中国老师不妨学学的地方。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]7[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]、在英美国家的各种聚会上，女士们常夸赞自己的丈夫有能力，夸赞自己的孩子如何聪明可爱；男士们也常夸赞自己的妻子温柔可人，夸赞自己的老板如何地重用自己，这既能活跃气氛，又能尽显自己人性美的一部分。若有机会你参加外国人的ball（舞会），你也不妨收起你的谦虚，将你的赞美适时适度地表达出来。[/color][/size][/font]
[font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000]break one's heart
[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][size=2][color=#000000] 由break 和beart构成的词很多，如：hearbreak(极度伤心); hearbreaking(使心碎的)，heat-broken(极度伤心的) ，大家可能注意到都是和"伤心"有关，break one's heat 就是指伤透某人的心。[/color][/size][/font]
