有用的英语俚语,让你的英语潮起来
Part ITo take a walk或许大家听过一下这两个以walk这个字为主的习惯用语。
它们是:To walk on air and to walk the floor. To walk on air的意思是,一个人很高兴的时候走路轻飘飘的。
to walk the floor是指一个人由于不知道怎么办,或者是担心某一件事的结果而坐立不安。
今天我们再来给大家讲解两个以walk这个字为主的习惯用语。
第一个是: To take a walk.大家可能都知道to take a walk就是散步。
但是,这里讲的to take a walk可不是这个意思,并不是讲话的人邀请你一起去散步。
刚好相反,这儿所讲的to take a walk是非常不客气的一句话。
它的意思是:出去,或滚开。
所以,to take a walk作为俗语的时候要特别小心。
下面这个例子里讲话的人正在发很大的脾气,对他讲话的对象毫不客气。
他说:例句-1: I don't want to listen to any more silly advice on how to run my life. Go on, take a walk - get out of here! I'm tired of looking at your stupid face!这人说:别再告诉我,应该怎么管理我的生活,我不要听了。
走,你给我出去,滚出去!看见你那张丑脸我就烦。
******我们再来举一个例子。
这是一个人在对他的合夥人讲话。
这个合夥人经常通过一些小动作来欺诈他,因此他决定和他分手。
他说:例句2: I'm tired of all your lies! You've cheated me too many times and I no longer want to be partners with you. So take a walk - I never want to see you again!这人说:我已经听够了你的谎话。
marriage 大学英语四级 翻译和写作
Marriage: Is it Still a Tradition? 要求: 1.剩男剩女( leftover women and men)越来越 多; 2.传统的成家立业 (marry and settle down)结 婚思想是否会发生变化? 3.未来社会是否会有更多的人选择不结婚, 单身过日子,谈谈你的看法。
翻译
• 裸婚(down-to-earth marriage )是一种新的 结婚方式,指的是一对恋人没有房子、没 有车、不办婚礼、不度蜜月甚至没有婚戒, 只领取结婚证(marriage certificate)的结婚 方式。这种形式的结婚最低成本只有9元钱。 现代年轻人的生活压力较大,而且强调爱 情的独立,必须有房再结婚或者大肆操办 婚事的传统在年轻一代中被削弱。许多人 都相信裸婚是两个人纯粹爱情的见证。
Down-to-earth Marriage
• As a new way of getting married, down-to-earth marriage means that a couple marries each other by only applying for a marriage certificate without an apartment, a car, a wedding ceremony, a honeymoon, or even a wedding ring. This form of marriage can cost as little as only nine yuan. As young people in modern times live under great pressure and place emphasis on the independence of love, the tradition that “an apartment is a must for marriage” and “wedding ceremony should be held on a grand scale” has weakened among the young generation. Many people believe that a down-to-earth marriage is a testament to the pure love between the couple.
A Down-to-earth Attitude
Just as Theodore Roosevelt's remark goes "Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground", a down-to-earth attitude is a precious spirit, which has led thousands of people to success. But in contrary, many people don't realize the significance of it.By keeping our eyes on the stars, we can find our goals which hide behind the door. However, to achieve the goals, we are supposed to keep our feet on the ground. As we hold a down-to-earth attitude, we can be unwittingly encouraged to devote time and effort to pursuing our work.As the very development of the world, the adolescent are becoming increasingly un-cool. Nonetheless, completing our tasks require our devotion. Under this circumstance, only the down-to-earth attitude has the capacity to enable us to cite its single-minded dedication to stick to our goals.In a word, only when we develop a down-to-earth attitude can we stand on top of the world. It is essential to keep it in mind.As the saying goes "Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground." To accomplish great things, you must dream great dreams. But dreaming alone isn't enough, you must believe in your dreams and you must act. Without action, even the most grand of dreams evaporate into the ether when left un-nurtured in the misty realms of the mind.Have you been waiting for the right time to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right circumstances to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right opportunity to reach for dreams? My, you're patient, aren't you? You could be waiting forever, you know. Time is an illusion. Circumstances are what you make them. Opportunity is a whisper that waits for your invitation. it doesn't burst in and shout its arrival. Now is the right time. Circumstances change when you take action. Opportunity is yours when making efforts. So what are you really waiting for?All in all, a person's success can not be separated from a down-to-earth attitude and unremitting efforts.。

只有这样奠定良好基础,总有一天可以取得好成绩。

They will be there for their friend consistently, providing a stable and reliable presence. This kind of support builds trust and strengthens the friendship, as the friend knows they can rely on the down-to-earth person during challenging times.中文回答:脚踏实地、站稳脚跟是实现个人和职业成功的重要品质。

接地气的作文800字
接地气的作文800字英文回答:Being down-to-earth means being grounded, practical, and realistic in one's approach to life. It is about being humble, genuine, and relatable to others. In my opinion, being down-to-earth is a valuable quality to possess as it helps to foster strong connections with people and promotes a sense of authenticity.One example of being down-to-earth is when I was volunteering at a local charity organization. I was assigned to help distribute food to the homeless. Instead of just handing out the food and moving on, I took the time to engage in conversations with the individuals, asking about their day and listening to their stories. By showing genuine interest and empathy, I was able to establish a connection and make them feel valued. This simple act of being down-to-earth made a significant impact on both the individuals I interacted with and myself.Another example is when I was working on a groupproject for school. Instead of taking charge and dictating what needed to be done, I took the time to listen to my teammates' ideas and opinions. I encouraged open communication and collaboration, creating an environment where everyone felt comfortable sharing their thoughts. By being down-to-earth and treating everyone as equals, wewere able to work together effectively and produce a successful project.Being down-to-earth is not just about how we interact with others, but also how we view ourselves. It is about staying true to our values and not letting success or achievements define us. For instance, I have a friend whois a talented musician. Despite his success and recognition, he remains humble and approachable. He never boasts abouthis accomplishments and always takes the time to connectwith his fans. This down-to-earth attitude has not only endeared him to his audience but has also allowed him to stay grounded in his passion for music.中文回答:"接地气"意味着在生活中保持脚踏实地、实际和现实的态度。

If you focus on taking one step at a time, you will eventually reach your destination.Overall, being down-to-earth is a positive trait.

Down-to-earth不是“回到地球”,90%的人都翻译错了!
Down-to-earth不是“回到地球”,90%的人都翻译错了!易错表达英语里有很多地道的表达都不能直译,否则就会闹笑话哦~比如down-to-earth这个表达,千万别翻译成“回到地球”!正确释义我们来看一下权威的解释:If you say that someone is down-to-earth, it means that person is practical, reasonable, andfriendly.这个表达相当于中文里的“务实的”,“接地气儿的”。
双语例句JJ is a down-to-earth singer with no pretensions.JJ是一个特别接地气的歌手,没有任何矫揉造作。
Phil is really down-to-earth, if you want some advice, you ought to talk to him.菲尔是个很务实的人。
如果你需要一些建议,应该和他谈谈。
相关表达down-to-earth这个表达是非常口语化的,那么书面语怎么表达“务实”呢?我们可以用一个高级词汇:pragmatic /præɡˈmætɪk/ adj. 实用主义的。
这个词比practical要书面化,很多新闻报刊或者文学作品里经常会出现哦,比如:Frustrated, she took the gutsy decision to go back to the same college and study somethingmore pragmatic. She majored in finance, and now has a good job at an investment consultingfirm.受挫碰壁的她勇敢地作出决定,重新回到大学学习更为实用的课程。
她主修财务,现在在一个投资咨询公司得到了一份好工作。
(经济学人)影视片段在美剧《生活大爆炸》里面,Sheldon在科学上有了重大进展,别人都来祝贺他,他是这样跟大家保证的:More testing, more success, more fame. But don't worry, I will remain the same down-to-earthhumble Joe I've always been.更多的测试,更多的成功,更多的名望。

脚踏实地的人可能是社会中的重要成员。
但他们从不认为自己比其他重要程度不及他们的人更优秀。

一个让某些事情冲昏头脑的人觉得自己比别人更优秀,其实这个人是自以为是(has a big head)。
当我们的双脚牢牢地踩在地面上时,当我们脚踏实地时,我们就不会鼻孔朝天。

Today we tell about the expression "down to earth." Down to earth means being open and honest. It is easy to deal with someone who is down to earth.今天我们讲述down to earth(实在、朴实)这个短语,它的意思是坦率、诚实,和这种人打交道会很轻松。
A person who is down to earth is a pleasure to find. He or she accepts other people as equals.A down to earth person is the opposite of someone who acts important or proud.遇见一位朴实者是一件愉快的事情,他(她)会平等待人。
和之相反的就是自大傲慢者。
Down to earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. They do not let their importance "go to their heads." Someone who lets something go to his head feels he is better than others. He has a "big head."朴实者可能是社会精英,但他们并不认为自己比普通人更优越,不会被自己的重要地位冲昏了头脑(go to their heads)。
那些被某些东西冲昏头脑的人会认为自己比他人优越,自高自大(big head)。
