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。

提高班教案：美国俚语其实学英语，能说出一口复杂，高深的英语并不是口语交流的最高境界，相反，如果能用最短小，最精悍的句子或词来表达才是成为高手的关键！英文其实并不会很复杂，在英语的形成中，他们习惯于用很形象的动作，表情来表达自已现在的感情！比如，我们经常看到的外国动画片中，一个人生气的时侯往往就是脸变得越来越红，就像一块大烙铁一样，所以在表示愤怒的时侯，人们就会用到“Red”这个单词Why the long face一个人不开心，生气，郁闷的时侯，总是拉长着老脸。
虽然我们用why are you upset,或者why you are looking so angry都一样能表达这时侯的感情，但是why the long face看起来更地道一些。
而且很形象方便以记忆，下回你看见有朋友借酒消愁的时侯，你不妨将这句话派上用场！Pull yourself together光看这一句话可能不是很容易理解，字面上来看，是把自已拉回来！这是什么意思呢！我们又先说一些动画片当例子吧！动画片里边小动物如果遇到比自已大的猛兽或敌人，通常都吓得瑟瑟发抖，或者有甚者直接晕倒，然后可以看到它们身上的灵魂轻飘飘地飞了起来。
这句话的意思就应该在这儿出现了，表面意思是为把你的魂儿抓回来，别把魂儿丢了！引申义则为：镇静，不要慌张挺住，振作的意思！所以有些东西没有对英文生活环境的理解，则是很难明白的！Face the music面对音乐，似乎是一件很美妙的事情。
如果你这么理解的话，就错了，在英语中face the music和“享受音乐的那种美妙感觉”相差十万八千里，它表达的恰恰是和“享受音乐”相反的一种感觉“不得不接受惩罚、承担后果”。
为什么用face the music来表达这个意思呢？这个短语最早可以追溯到19世纪中期。
有一些词源学方面的权威认为，这个短语来源于剧场。
去过大型剧场的朋友一定知道，在舞台前方往往有一个乐池，乐队就坐在乐池中为台上表演的演员们伴奏。
演员们在舞台上表演时，就直接面对着乐池中的乐队，face the music可能就是由此而来的。
在舞台上，演员经常会由于紧张或怯场而造成忘词等尴尬的局面，只要音乐一响，演员就没有任何选择的余地，只能去face the music （必须承受出现的局面）。
所以对于演员来说，音乐响起时，只能“硬着头皮上”了！所以也就是“不得不承担、不得不面对”。
两个例句：He knew he would never get away with it so he decided to face the music and give himself up to the police.（他知道自己已经无法逃脱，所以他决定承担后果并向警方自首。
）Everybody has to face the music for what he has done.（每个人都必须对自己所做的事情承担责任。
）Couch Potato电视中我们经常可以看到这样一种人，手拿着一袋薯片，躺卧在沙发上，聚精会神地看着无聊电视节目的胖子，还一边不停地傻笑，这样的人我们一般就用couch potato来形容(并非专门用在胖人身上)！这句话其实就是形容这些终日懒散在家、整日沉溺于电视的人。
于是couch potato成了“电视迷”的代名词！I have butterfly in my stomach(ants in your pants)蝴蝶是很漂亮的。
但是，他们在美国一个俗语里出现的时候就不见得漂亮了。
这个俗语是这么说的：To have butterflies in one's stomach。
大家都知道，butterflies是指蝴蝶，stomach 是人身体里消化食品的胃。
To have butterflies in one's stomach，从字面上来解释就是，一个人的胃里有蝴蝶。
可是，这个说法的真正意思是一种持续不断的恐惧、紧张或忧虑的心情，和中文里说的“心里感到七上八下”很相似。
例如：一个篮球运动员在比赛完毕后讲："Yeah, sure I had butterflies in my stomach in the locker room!But once I got out on the court and caught that first pass, I was just fine."比赛前在更衣室里的时候，我当然感到很紧张不安。
可是，等我一上场，接到第一个传来的球的时候，我就没事了。
与此句意思相同的俚语还有Ants in your pants，想象一下你的裤子里爬满了小蚂蚁那会是什么感觉。
同样也是表达紧张，忐忑不安，不耐烦的心情！The man over there has been waitting forlong and he's really getting ants in his pants。
那边的那个人等得太久了现在他开始变的不耐烦了。
Right on the beam美国英语当中有许多成语和俗语都和过去的历史有关系。
四十年前，乘飞机可是一件新鲜事，是一个值得向朋友夸耀的冒险行动。
可是，现在乘飞机已经变得和乘公共汽车差不多了。
空中飞行变得如此普遍的原因之一是由于电子导航系统的发展，这样飞机就可以在无线电电波发出的领航信号指挥下准确地从一个机场飞到另一个机场。
这些尖端的科学设施已经变得非常普遍，因此美国英语里有一个表达形式，那就是：Right on the beam。
而这句话在日常生活中的意思就是：一个人做某件事做得很对。
例如：一个人在评论那个竞选州长的候选人发表的讲话：I thought Mr. Claghorn's speech was right on the beam last night! Just like he says, we need to spend more money on educating our children. He makes a lot of sense to me."这个人说：“我认为克拉格霍恩先生昨晚上讲的话完全正确。
就像他说的，我们应该花更多的钱在教育孩子方面。
我觉得他讲的话很有道理。
”To fly by the seat of his pants在使用无线电电波，雷达和空中交通管制系统前，像电子导航系统这样现代化的安全设施在以前是根本没有的。
飞行员只能根据地面的铁路、河流和水塔那样的标记来决定他们的航向。
要是一个飞行员不得不在云层里飞，或在气候不好的情况下飞行的话，那他只好靠自己的猜测来决定方向了。
这在英语里就是：To fly by the seat of his pants。
现在人们用To fly by the seat of his pants来形容某种局面，也就是你在做某件事的时候没有明确的指导，也缺乏足够的知识。
只能凭感觉来行事！例如："Driving to a friend's house last night I took the wrong turn off the main highway and got lost. I didn't have a road map but I flew by the seat of my pants and after twenty minutes I found the street I was looking for."这个人说：“昨晚在我开车去一个朋友家的路上，我在一条高速公路上拐错了一个弯，结果就迷失了方向。
我当时又没有地图。
我只好凭着自己的猜测开，过了二十分钟我终于找到了我要去的那条路。
”To fly off the handle美国人在十七世纪初来到北美洲大西洋沿岸的东部地区定居。
此后，他们了花两百多年时间来开拓西部的大片处女地。
在这期间，这些开拓者的生活不仅非常艰苦，而且还有生命危险。
为了能够进行耕作，他们得用斧头来砍伐森林，用犁来翻耕处女地。
他们经常猎取野兽来作为食品。
同时，他们还要随时准备抵御敌对的印第安人的袭击。
所有这些经历都丰富了美国人的语言，即便在今天使用的语言中，人们还可以发现许多开拓时期生活的痕迹。
拿斧头来作例子吧：它既大，又重，头上还有锋利的刀口。
这是一个很危险的工具，特别是当斧头突然从斧柄上脱落的时候，谁要是倒霉正好在旁边的话，就有可能被砍伤。
现在，美国人就把有的人突然失去控制而勃然大怒的现象叫作：To fly off the handle。
Fly是飞的意思，而handle是指斧头柄。
例如："Honey, please don't fly off the handle -- I had a little accident with the car, but it certainly wasn't my fault."她说：“亲爱的，你可别发火。
我把车撞坏了，但是那绝不是我的错。
”To bark up the wrong tree西部的拓荒者经常拿打猎获得的小动物作为他们的肉食，有时还利用它们的皮毛。
他们还训练狗在打猎的时候学会把打中的动物叼回来。
可是，动物为了逃命，往往会爬到树上去。
那些狗有时一糊涂没看清楚动物上了哪棵树，结果对着一棵没有动物的树乱叫。
To bark up the wrong tree翻成中文可以说是：找错门了，错怪了别人。
例如："If my brother-in-law hopes to borrow any more money from me, he will be barking up the wrong tree."这句话的意思说：“要是我的小舅子再想问我借钱，那他算是找错人了。
”例句二：警察逮捕了一个嫌疑犯，并在盘问他。
这个人对警察说："Hey man, if you think I was the guy who robbed that bank today, you're barking up the wrong tree! I was nowhere near the place."他说：“喂，要是你认为我是今天抢银行的那个人，那你就错怪我了。
我根本就没上那儿去。
”The shoe is on the other foot美国的成语或俗语和其他语言一样同生活中的各个方面有关。
今天说的是两个习惯用语是和鞋子、手套有关系的。
首先，我们要介绍的是“The shoe is on the other foot”。
