常用美语
常用美国英语1.打招呼hi, how are you doing(一般简称为how you doing 因为"are"被吞音)听到这句话的时候，有的人以为是“你在做什么的意思”，有的回答“i'm reading”之类的其实这样是大错特错的，其实这句话和“how are you”是一样的意思，可以回答i'm good, i'm fine,not very well等等2.初次见面除了可以说以上的问候的语言还可以说nice to meet you , glad to meet you , pleased to know(meet) you等等3.常把excuse me挂在嘴边在美国除了问路和请求别人要用excuse me ,还有你正在和别人谈话，如果你想咳嗽一下或者接个电话，或者不小心打了个喷嚏都要说excuse me,这样他们会认为你很有礼貌，虽然我和我丈夫已经在一起3年了，但是他每发生这样的事情都要和我说excuse me，有时候我会和他说不要那么客气，我不会介意的，可是每次他还是照说不误，后来我知道这是他从小养成的习惯，是一个人教养问题，所以我现在也慢慢的说excuse me了。
4.表示无聊或者失望可以说it sucks。
如果别人问你对某事或者某人的看法，你觉得很失望可以说“it sucked ，it sucks，she sucks.”5.Y ou bet表示你说的一点也没错因为bet 是下赌注的意思，所以"Y ou bet." 就是指，"Y ou can bet money on that." (你可以把钱下注在上面)，就是说这件事百分之百正确。

美国最In俗语大全
1. nerd和jock这是美国学生常用的两个俗语。
nerd的意思和汉语中的“书呆子”类似。
这类人聪明勤奋，但却过于保守严肃，在校园里颇让人瞧不起。
jock则恰恰相反。
他们魁梧帅气，很受女孩子们的欢迎，尤其擅长Americanfootball和basketball等各种体育运动。
当然，校园中也不乏漂亮的girl jocks。
2. egghead这个词在1952年的美国总统大选中被首次使用。
当时的竞选双方分别是二战盟军总司令艾森豪威尔和书生气十足的伊利诺伊州州长史蒂文森。
史蒂文森精心准备的竞选演讲文字华丽晦涩，只有和他一样的知识分子才会感兴趣。
因此对手取笑他说：Sure, all the eggheads loveStevenson. But how many eggheads do you think there are。
egghead的意思，就是指书生气很足的知识分子。
3. hick和city slicker这两个词的意思在各种语言中一定都能找到对应的词，它们分别是城里人和乡下人对对方的贬称。
hick的意思是“乡巴佬，土包子，”而slick字面意思是“圆滑的，油滑的”，因而city slicker也就是乡下人眼中的“城里老油子，打扮光鲜，老于世故却不可信的城里滑头”。
4.turkey(火鸡)，shrimp(虾)和crab(螃蟹)这三种动物在美国人眼中会是什么人呢？turkey是美国人在Thanksgiving Day和ChristmasDay家家都要吃的食物。
但是，活的火鸡样子难看，行动又笨拙，所以turkey就用来形容那种愚蠢无用的人。
而那种雇用了这些turkey，又不能开除他们的政府或商业机构就被称作turkey farm。
shrimp常被用于指代那些个子矮小的人或无足轻重的小人物。
请看下面的句子：You maycall Napoleon a little shrimp. But for a shrimp, he certainly made therest of Europe tremble。
美国常用习语分享
美国常用习语分享流畅的口语如何练就?秘籍就是熟练使用习语。
今天小编给大家带来了美国习语，希望能够帮助到大家，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。
美国习语：hat习惯用语今天我们要给大家介绍两个和“帽子”，也就是英文里的“hat”这个字有关的习惯用语。
二次世界大战以前，美国人一年四季都戴帽子。
男人一年之中大多数时间戴毡帽，到了夏天就戴草帽。
女士们要是没有一顶时髦的帽子就好像不能出门似的。
而现在，大多数美国人一年到头根本就不戴帽子。
有些年轻人恐怕一辈子没买过一顶帽子。
可是，那些和“hat”这个字有关的俗语却仍然常常出现在人们的讲话中。
首先给大家介绍下面这个俗语：at the drop of a hat。
At the drop of a hat的意思是：一有信号可以马上行动。
它往往用来形容那些脾气很暴燥的人，例如像下面这个例子中的人：例句-1: "Tom Atkins is usually a good-hearted, friendly guy. But he has oneproblem--a hot temper. Say something he doesn't agree with, and he'll start a loud argument at the drop of a hat."这个话的意思是：“汤姆?阿特金斯一般来说是一个心地善良，很友好的人。
但是，他有一个毛病，那就是脾气太坏。
要是你说些什么他不同意的话，他可以马上和你大声争辩。
”At the drop of a hat这个习惯用语不一定要用于争辩或打架的场合。
它也可以解释为：在有必要的时候，某人可以立即行动，就像下面这个例子所说的一样：例句-2: "I have a job that involves a lot of travel on short notice. I always keep one bag packed so I'm ready to go at the drop of a hat when I get a call from the boss asking me to catch the next plane to Chicago."这句话是说：“我的工作经常需要在得到通知后马上出门去。

常见的美国习语
常见的美国习语想知道美国的习语有哪些吗?今天小编家带来了美国习语，希望能够帮助到大家，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏准备一下吧。
美国习语：寻欢作乐美国有一个俗语就是建筑在这一形象之上的。
这个俗语就是：to kick up one's heels。
To kick up one's heels，从字面上来解释就是：把后脚往上踢。
但是，实际上to kick up one's heels是用来形容人们到外面去寻欢作乐，就像马在草原上奔跑一样。
比如说，有两个人在办公室里说话，其中之一说：例句-1: "How about coming out with us Wednesday night? We're all going to take Bill Glover out to dinner. Then later we'll drop into a few night spots. It's Bill's last chance to kick up his heels, you know--he's getting married the next morning."这人说：“星期三晚上跟我们一起出去玩，怎么样?我们大家一起请比尔格洛弗出去吃晚饭。
然后，我们再到几个像.样的地方去玩。
这是比尔到外面去寻欢作乐的最后一次机会了，你知道，他第二天上午就要结婚了。
”To kick up one's heels并不一定是年轻人的事，上了年纪的人有时也想到外面去轻松轻松。
下面的例子就很能说明问题：例句-2: "My mother and dad are over sixty, but they still like to go out once in a while to have dinner and do a little dancing and kick up their heels. Of course, they go home a lot earlier than they used to."这个人说：“我的爸爸和妈妈已经六十多了，但是他们有时还是喜欢到外面去吃晚饭、跳跳舞，高兴高兴。

经典的美国习语
经典的美国习语语音、词汇和语法是交流的基石，习语则会让你锦上添花。
今天小编给大家带来了美国习语，希望能够帮助到大家，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏准备一下吧。
美国习语第28街A black sheepA white lie黑颜色和白颜色往往是对立的。
黑代表黑夜和邪恶，而白象征着日光、善良或美德。
在美国好莱坞早期那些无声电影里，导演往往给英雄人物戴上白帽子，而给坏蛋戴黑帽子。
这样，连十岁的孩子一看就马上知道谁是好人，谁是坏人。
白帽和黑帽就这样逐渐成了一个习惯的说法，也就是 white hats and black hats.White hats and black hats 就代表好人和坏人。
黑和白这两个字 black and white 经常在美国的成语和俗语中出现。
可是，它们并不一定像好人、坏人那样黑白分明。
有时候，黑还具有肯定和积极的意思。
例如，对一个做生意的人来说in the black 就意味着赚钱，而不是亏本。
今天，我们要讲两个和 black and white 这两个字有关的成语。
首先我们来讲一个和black有关的常用语 a black sheep.Black 当然是指黑颜色，而sheep 是一头羊的意思。
一头黑颜色的羊 a black sheep 指的是一个给他周围的人带来耻辱的人。
请听下面这个例子：例句-1： "Uncle Joe is the black sheep in the family. Instead of getting a job， all he does is drink too much， gamble away any money he gets and chase after women."这句话翻成中文就是："乔叔叔是他们家的败家子。
他不是去找个工作，而是成天喝酒，有了一点钱就去赌，还老是玩女人。
"我们再来举一个例子：例句-2： "We all thought my youngest brother was the black sheep in our family. In fact he was in so much trouble he ran away to Australia.But he started a new life there， married a wonderful girl， and now he's a millionaire."这句话的意思是："我们都认为我最小的弟弟是我们家的败家子。
