美国习惯用语大全

美国习惯用语大全

美国习惯用语大全每一种语言都有它独特的成语和俗语。

而学习外语的人经常在理解这些习惯用语时会感到很困难。

这是因为你不可能从组成某个习惯用语的字面上来懂得它的意思。

比如,美国人经常说:“Give me a hand.”按照字面来理解, “give me hand”就是“给我一只手。

”可是,它的意思却是“帮我一下忙。

”另外一个例子是: “Foot the bill.”“Foot”的意思是“一只脚”,而“bill”在这儿的解释是“账单”。

“Foot the bill.”并不是把帐单踩在脚底下,而是付账的意思。

另外,有的时候,一个词汇有好几种解释。

就拿下面一句话来作例子吧:例句-1:“We arrived two hours late at the big blow-out for Charlie’s birthday because our car had a blow-out.”这句话里第一个blow-out是指规模很大的聚会,第二个blow-out是指汽车的轮胎炸了。

整个句子的意思是:“由于我们车胎炸了,所以我们晚了两个小时才到达查理举行生日宴会的地方。

”还有一些习惯用语从字典上的意思来看是相同的,但是它们使用的场合却不同。

下面两个习惯用语就是很好的例子。

一个是“Lock, stock and barrel”,另外一个是:“Hook, line and sinker”。

Lock, stock and barrel和Hook, line and sinker都是全部的意思,可是用法却不同。

我们先来举一个Lock, stock and barrel的例子:例句-2:“Mr. Rockefeller bought the whole oil company lock, stock and barrel.”这句话的意思是:“洛克菲勒先生把整个石油公司买了下来”。

换句话说,也就是他买了这个石油公司的大楼,油井和其他属于这个公司的资产。

339:knockoff; knock sb. dead...knockout在俚语中却可以解释叫人心醉神迷的人或物,可能是一幅美不胜收的画,也可能是一部扣人心弦的电影,但更可能是俊男美女;knock your socks off。

Sock 是袜子。

这个习惯用语的出典可能是什么特别精彩的事情让你兴奋得上蹦下跳,以至脚上袜子也跳得掉了下来;knock someone dead用来描述什么东西令人赞赏到无以复加的地步。

Knockoff是仿制品。

美国习惯用语401-450

美国习惯用语401-450

美国习惯用语401 像蔬菜一样静静地休息我们已经连续两次讲了美国青少年中流行的习惯说法。

今天我们再来讲两个。

生活在当今世界上的人们一般生活节奏都相当快,好多人都是日理万机的,正当壮年的人当然更得如此,然而也不可否认年轻一代的生活也相当紧张,他们也面临很大的压力,年轻人自然也需要放松一下的机会。

于是在他们中间流行着一些专门用来表示放松休闲的词汇,这就是我们今天要学的内容。

第一个是: veg。

Veg显然来自vegetable。

Veg是vegetable这个词的简略形式。

Vegetable是蔬菜,长在地上的蔬菜是不能自由活动的,它静静地呆在原地不动。

表面看来蔬菜被动呆板,但换个角度来想它们倒也活得悠闲自在。

这也许就是veg这个说法的出典。

让我们听个例子来体会veg这个词的确切含义。

说话的这个小伙子在说他这个周末将做什么。

例句-1:I'm so glad that the week is almost over! I've had too much work to do. So I'm staying home and vegging this weekend. I won't do anything not even think about my deadline s next week.他说:我真高兴这个星期总算快过完了,我得做的事儿实在太多。

所以这个周末我准备待在家静静地休息,我什么也不干,甚至连下星期那些截止日期都不去想。

他准备这周末足不出户,什么也不干,什么也不想,完完全全地放松休息,这就是veg这个词的意思,这儿他是用了veg这个词的现在分词形式vegging。

******有时候人们甚至等不到周末就想彻底地放松一下自己,因为一天工作下来确实令人精疲力尽了。

我们来听听一名年轻职员下班后晚上的时间打算怎么渡过。

例句-2:I've run around the office all day. I'm exhausted! A whole pot of coffee couldn't keep me awake. I'm going straight home to veg -- maybe watch a little television, then go to bed.他说:我一整天都在办公室里东奔西走,实在困极了。

常用美国习惯用语

常用美国习惯用语

常用美国习惯用语1. give me a hand美国人经常说:"Give me a hand." 按照字面来理解, "give me a hand"就是"给我一只手"。

可是,它的意思却是"帮我一下忙。

"2. foot the bill"foot"的意思是"一只脚",而"bill"在这儿的解释是"账单"。

"foot the bill"并不是"把账单踩在脚底下", 而是"付账"的意思。

另外,有的时候,一个词有好几种解释。

例如:3. blow outWe arrived two hours late at the big blow-out for Charle's birthday because our car had a blow-out. 由于我们车胎爆了,所以我们晚了两个小时才到达查理举行生日宴会的地方。

这句话里第一个blow-out是指"规模很大的聚会",第二个blow-out是指"汽车的轮胎爆了"。

4. backseat driverbackseat是由back和seat这两个词组成的。

back是"后面的"的意思,seat就是"座位"。

backseat两个词合在一起就是指"汽车后面一排的座位"。

driver就是"司机"。

那么,坐在后面座位上的人怎么能开车呢?这就是backseat driver作为习语的意思了。

在美国开车出门是许多人每天生活的一部分。

开车的技术当然每个人都不一样,但一般来说,开车的人都不太喜欢别人对他指指点点,教他怎么开,怎么走。

美国习惯用语(4)
to jump right out of one's skin
all skin and bones
spinning one's wheel
re-inventing the wheel
at the wheel
1.to jump right out of one's skin:指一个人由于突然发生的事,或者是由于没有预料到的危险,使他吓一跳。

同样的,要是突然发生一件令人非常高兴的事,使某人非常惊喜,在这种场合下也能用这个常用语。

When the door opened, I almost jumped right out of my skin. There was my brother, arms loaded with Christmas presents. He lives all the way out in California, but he'd decided to surprise me by flying to Washington for Christmas. 门一打开,我真是惊喜万分。

那是我哥哥,拿了好多圣诞节礼物。

他住在加州,离这儿好远。

但是,他决定乘飞机来华盛顿过圣诞节,可是不让我知道,给我来个突然的惊喜。

When it started to rain, I ran toward a big tree for shelter. But there was a flash of lightning and I jumped right out of my skin -- the lightning hit the tree just before I reached it. 在雨刚刚开始下的时候,我就往一棵大树那儿跑,想在树下躲一会儿。

但是,天上突然闪起电来,我还没有跑到树下面,闪电就击中了那棵树。

真是把我吓了一大跳。

2.all skin and bones:全是皮肤和骨头,形容那些很瘦的人。

Have you seen Henry lately? For two months he's been on this special diet to lose weight. Well, he's taken off forty pounds and now he's all skin and bones. 你最近看见亨利没有?他为了减肥,按照特殊的食谱吃了两个月。

你看,他已经减掉了四十磅,现在真是非常瘦了。

There's nothing sadder to see than a picture of children who are all skin and bones because they live someplace where most people don't get enough
to eat. 当你看到一张照片,上面全是皮包骨的孩子,因为他们生活的地方大多数人都吃不饱,看到这样的照片比什么都令人感到难过。

3.spinning one's wheel: 一个人采取了行动,但是令他非常懊丧的是,他的行动毫无成果。

I've got to get out of this place and find another job somewhere. I'm just spinning my wheels here -- there's no chance to get a pay raise, much less a promotion. 我得离开这个地方到别处去另找工作。

我在这儿干死干活的,可是根本就没有机会加工资,更别说被提升了。

How many times have I told you that you've got to let us know where you are and get back at the time you promised. But I feel I am just spinning my wheels here, as you always do whatever you want and worry us sick over you. 我对你讲了多少次了,你得告诉我们你上哪儿去,并且要按你自己说的时间回来。

可是,我感到我在这儿白费劲,因为你老是想干什么就干什么,而我们却为你担心得要命。

4.re-inventing the wheel: 某个人认为自己想到了一个非常好的新主意,但是实际上这个主意别人早就想到,而且已经实施了。

Look, don't try to design your own computer system for handling our accounts. There are plenty of good systems already on the market, so let's not reinvent the wheel! 我说呀,不要为管理我们的帐目设计你自己的电脑程序。

市场上已经有不少好的程序,所以我们不必多此一举啦。

I thought I had finally worked out a good system to file these papers according to their different categories and under specific labels, but it turned out I was reinventing the wheel as most people have been doing it this way for a long time. 我还以为我总算想出了一个好办法,把这些报表材料放在不同的夹子里,标上不同的标记。

可是实际上许多人早就这么做了,我只是重复他们的作法而已。

5.at the wheel:开车,这是一种非常口语的说法;负责或控制一个大的组织
You not only came back home after midnight last night, but you also wrecked my car. Let me ask you something: How many people were in the car and who was at the wheel on your way home? 你昨晚不仅过了半夜十二点才回家,你还撞坏了我的车。

让我来问你,你回家的路上车里一共有几个人,到底是谁在开车?
但是,当你把at the wheel当做俗语用的时候,它还有另一层意思,那就是:负责或控制一个大的组织。

实际上,at the wheel这个俗语并不是来自汽车,而是出自航海。

原来at the wheel是指站在船舵后面控制船的航向。

You want to know what my career plan is? I'll tell you honestly -- My ambition is to be at the wheel of a big corporation by the time I reach forty! 你要知道我在事业方面的计划?我可以坦白地告诉你:我的愿望是在我四十岁的时候能够成为一家大公司的总裁。
