美国惯用语.美国口语1-50
1.Give me a hand.帮我一下忙。
2.Foot the bill.付账。
3.一词多义:We arrived two hours late at the big blow-out fou Charlie's birthday because our car had a blow-out.由于我们的车胎炸了,所以我们晚了两个小时才到达查理举行生日宴会的地方。
(第一个blow-out指规模很大的聚会,第二个blow-out指汽车的轮胎炸了。
)美国习惯用语01 帮我搭把手美国人经常说:“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。
”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,一个词汇有好几种解释。
就拿下面一句话来做例子吧:例句-1:“We arrived two hours late at the big blow-out for Charlie’s bir thdaybecause 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”。

美国习惯用语doc(1-100).doc
美国习惯用语」第一讲Words & Idiomsgive me a handfoot the billblow outlock, stock and barrelhook, line and sinker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 Charle’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”。
美国俚语大全
美国俚语大全美国俚语大全1. I couldn't care less.这句话的意思是「我不在乎」,「缺乏兴趣」(lack of interest),也就是:I don't care at all. 或 I don't give a hoot. 例如:人家如果问: What do you think of the budget-cut?(你对预算削减有何看法?)你回答: I couldn't care less.(我毫不在乎)How do you like Mr. Lee's political point of view?(你喜欢李先生的政见吗?)I couldn't care less.(我才不在乎呢!)但是有时说话者也有「口是心非」:例如:I couldn't care less about the promotion or pay raise.(我不在乎升级或加薪)而实际上他是根本在乎升级和加薪的,那么人家也许就会回答说:Yes, you do(care).至于 I couldn't care more. 就是「我很在乎」(I care a lot.)或I care deeply. 同理:I couldn't agree more.=I totally agree.(我完全同意)I couldn't please you more.=I did my best to please you.(我尽量使你高兴)I couldn't be more right.=I am totally right.但是老外为了「自尊」,不愿强调自己的错误,所以很少人说:I couldn't be more wrong.注意:一般人都用否定句,但也有老外把肯定句与否定句互用。
不过,严格来说,I could care less. = I care to some degree.(care 的程度可能减少)I could care more.=I care some.(care的程度也许增加)(主词可用任何人称代名词:he, she, you, we, they 等。

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。
