40句美国地道口语
1. It’s not like that. 不是那样的。
It’s not like that.这句话是用来辟谣的。
当别人误会了一件事的来龙去脉,你就可以跟他说It’s not like that.“不是那样的。
”当然随着语气及情境的不同,It’s not like that.这句话也有可能是你用来硬拗的藉口。
2. There is nothing good playing. 没好电影可看。
这里的There’s nothing good playing.是接着问句而来的,指的是“没有好电影可看。
”同样的,若是电视上没有好节目可看,你就可以说There’s nothing good on TV.3. I’ve gotten carried away. 我扯太远了。
get carried away字面上的意思是“被带走了”,那么被带走的是什么呢?就是心思。
当你或是他人说话的时候离了题,偏离主旨扯远了。
你就可以用上这个表达法I’ve / You’ve gotten carried away.4. Good thing... 还好,幸好…在美语当中若要表达中文里“还好,幸好…”的语气,你就可以用Good thing...做开头。
这个句型非常简单又好用,你只要在Good thing后面加上完整的句子就可以。
5. I don’t believe you’re bringing this up. 你现在提这件事真是岂有此理。
bring something up是指“提到(某件事)”。
当然情况会有正反两面。
你若没想到对方会提起这件事讨骂,你可以说I don’t believe you’re bringing this up.而反过来说,若你很高兴对方主动提起了一件事,你也可以用这个片语自然说出I am glad you are bringing this up.6. spy on... 跟监(某人)spy这个字就是“间谍”。

Taco招牌菜啦, 它是由脆的⽟⽶饼 (crisp corn tortilla shell), ⾥⾯包绞⽜⾁, ⽣菜及 cheddar cheese 所作成的, 另外还有很多不同⼝味的 Taco, ⼤家可以⾃⼰试试, 如 Soft Taco, Double Decker Taco, 另外有⼀种套餐就是给你四个 Taco, 不失为 Taco 爱好者的⼀个最佳选择.2. Burrito外层是软的⽟⽶⽪ (Soft flour tortilla) ⾥⾯视 Burrito 的不同会包绞⽜⾁, ⽣菜, 西红柿等, 看起来有点像春卷, 可是吃起来不太⼀样, 吃⼀个就很饱, 不要点太多.3. Nachos⼀⽚⼀⽚的⽟⽶⽚, 个⼈觉的不是很好吃, 吃的时候他会给你⼀碗 cheese 当作佐料, 记得要趁热吃, 不然会很恶⼼.4. Mexican Pizza就如同前⾔所说, 其实在墨西哥是没有这种 pizza 的, 但⽆论如何, 它是我⼩笨霖的最爱, 它是⽤⼆层硬的⽟⽶饼, 中间夹了绞⽜⾁和四季⾖, 上⾯则有传统的 pizza 佐料, cheese 等, 尤其现在 Taco Bell Mexican Pizza 在 99 cent 跳楼⼤拍卖, 没吃过的⼈要把握机会喔.5. Taco Salad另外⼀样 Taco Bell 的特⾊, 传统的⽣菜加上四季⾖, ⽟⽶脆饼, 西红柿等, 放在⼀个⽤⽟⽶脆饼作的⼤碗⾥, 看了就觉得很好吃!以上是主要的 Taco 菜单, 可能不是很完整, 其它的就交由各位去尝试之后再告诉我了. 以下是会话:6. For here or to go?这⾥吃还是外带?去速⾷店店员问你的第⼀句话通常是这⼀句, 不要急著点餐, 先回答这⼀句再点.7. Does it go with drinks?有没有附赠饮料?有些套餐有附饮料, 如果不确定, 可以问⼀下, 如果没有的话, 可以当场点.8. Is that all?就这些了吗?有时他们会⽤ anything else? 总之, 这⼆句都是⼀样的, 如果是, 就回答 That's it!9. Here you go!你的餐来了!这句话在美国⽤的相当普遍, 你拿什么东西给别⼈, 就可以说这⼀句, 另外跟这句很类似的是 There you go! 通常⽤在会话的结尾, 表⽰我同意你的看法, 和 Here you go 是不太相同的!--------------------------------------------------------------------美式地道⼝语(三):南⽅这个圣诞假期我到⼀个位于阿肯⾊州的美国接待家庭住了⼗六天, 不但住在他们家⾥, 也参加他们⼀般的家庭聚会, 陪他们⼀起上教堂, 上餐厅.当然也跟他们⼀起过了⼀个美好的圣诞节. 我常在想, 要把英⽂学好, 真的是要让⾃⼰处在⼀个英⽂的环境中, 每天讲每天⽤, 英⽂就会进步很快. 像我这次就真的是受益良多. 打铁趁热, 赶快来看看我学到了什么有⽤的东西, 这些都是在美国南⽅才⽐较会⽤到的⼀些句⼦.1. What are you fixing right now?你现在在煮什么?Fix 这个字以我个⼈的理解就是代表"修理", 或是"固定"的意思, 但是在美国 fix 这个字真的是千变万化, 例如在美国南⽅, ⼤家习惯⽤ fix 来代替cook 或是 make, 例如 A: What are you fixing now? B: No big deal, I'm just fixing my own dinner. 但是 fix 这种⽤法⼀般说来在南⽅⽐较流⾏,从北⽅来的⼈可能会听不懂这样的⽤法. 另外 fix 也可以被动的形态出现, 例: How do you like your coffee fixed? 就相当于 How do you like your coffee cooked?2. I am fixing to go out.我正准备要出门.Fix 这个字在美国南⽅真的很常见, 记得我第⼀次听到⽼美这么跟我说, 我的直觉反应就是他正在修理什么东西, 但实际上 Fix 在这⾥的⽤法是正准备要出门的意思, 也就相当于 I am about to leave.3. I'll fix the plate for you.我等下帮你准备⾷物.第⼀次听到我室友说 I can fix the plate for you, 我⽴刻反应是, Is there any plate broken? 其实不是这样的. Fix the plate 指的是准备⾷物. 例如我们在炒菜前可能会先把所有要炒的菜都洗好, 分好, 放在盘⼦上准备好像, 这就叫 Fix the plate. 所以下次如果再听到⽼美说 I'll fix the plate 可别以为他把盘⼦给打破了喔!I fix a plate for you. 也可以释成我帮你拿⼀点⾷物. ⼤家应该都有吃过西式的 buffet 吧! ⼀个⼈⼀个盘⼦, ⾃⼰去拿菜, 如果你要帮别⼈拿⾷物的话, 你就说, I'll fix a plate for you.4. She spent 30 minutes fixing her hair.她花了三⼗分钟整理她的头发.像 fix 这么好⽤的单字在国内居然没有⼈教真是可惜. Fix 在这⾥是指整理头发的意思. 我⾃⼰造了⼀个好玩的句⼦, She is fixing to fix her hair and fix the plate before fixing her dinner. ⼤家看得出来在这⾥四个 fix 各有不同的意思吗? 翻译⼀下这句话就是她准备好要在煮晚饭之前整理她的头发和准备⾷物了. (没什么意思, 只是好玩⽽已.)5. Can you fix mine?你能不能帮我捡⼀下?这句是我最近才新学到的, 所以 fix 的⽤法⼜多了⼀个, 就是有⼆个⼈在丢罐⼦, 他们想把罐⼦丢到垃圾筒⾥, 结果第⼀个⼈没丢准, 丢到垃圾筒外⾯去了, 换第⼆个⼈丢, 他还是没丢准, 也丢掉外⾯去了. 所以当第⼆个⼈要去把罐⼦捡起来时, 第⼀个⼈就跟他说了, Can you fix mine? 能不能帮我捡起来丢到垃圾筒⾥. 我觉得这个 fix ⽤的特别好.6. He is a redneck.他是⼀个⽼粗.所谓 redneck, 就是⼀些种⽥的粗⼈, (特别是在南⽅) 因为他们特殊的⽣活习惯和癖好, 通常会闹出很多笑话, 说起话来有很重的南⽅⼝⾳, 他们会被叫 redneck 我想是因为常在⽥⾥⼯作, 脖⼦晒的红红的之故, 另外还有⼀个字 hick, 也是粗⼈ redneck 的意思.什么样的⼈是典型的 redneck 呢? 他们喜欢穿迷彩服, 缺了好⼏颗门⽛, 他们开著烂烂的 pickup truck , 他们车上⼀定会放⼀把枪, 以便可以随时打猎. 他们住的院⼦通常会堆满各式各样的杂物, 以致于看起来好像垃圾场⼀样. 如果想要更了解关于 redneck 的⼀些有趣的事情, 可以参考本专栏的 redneck's driver's license 这⼀篇笑话.7. He has a bad accent.他有很重的⼝⾳.在美国不同的区有不同的⼝⾳, 特别是在南⽅, 他们叫作 southern drwal, 原因是他们通常喜欢把尾⾳拉长, 所以叫 southern drawl. ⽽在整个南⽅当中, 我觉得⼜以 Kentucky 及 Tennessee 的⼝⾳最重了. 如果你连这⼆个地⽅的⼝⾳都能了解的话, 那你的英⽂⼤概也没什么问题了.⼀般⽽⾔, 在美国如果有⼝⾳是会被当作⼟包⼦的! 所以⽼美之间也常拿彼此的⼝⾳开玩笑. 由其你如果是在北⽅例如纽约⼯作, 你的南⽅⼝⾳很可能会使得同事们都看不起你.8. You are not spposta to stay home during the weekend.你周末不应该待在家⾥的.讲到⼝⾳, 我就来教各位⼀些很典型的南⽅⼝⾳吧! 南⽅⼈喜欢把 suppose to 念成 spposta 我第⼀次听到别⼈这样说我还以为他在说 I am a poster (我是⼀张海报), 害我觉得很奇怪说, 其实这就是他们的⼝⾳. 还有⼀个我常听的就是 You rurnt my life. (You ruin my life) 他们会把 ruin 念成 rurut.9. Heidi, Hire Yew?嗨, 你好吗?这句话也是很典型的南⽅打招呼⽤语, 我想这原来是 Howdy, How are you? 但是他们会念成 Heidi, Hire Yew. 我想虽然南⽅⼝⾳普遍被认为不是那么好, 可是有时你刻意去模仿⼀两句反⽽会有那种爆笑的效果, 就如同我们也喜欢说 "粉" 可爱, 不也是台湾国语但听来却是格外地亲切吗?10. Oh hell no.当然不是啦.这也是南⽅的⼀个惯⽤语, 特别是⿊⼈很喜欢这么说. Oh hell no 其实就是等于 Of course not. 那个 Oh hell 是⽤来加强语⽓的. ⽐如你问我, Are you married? 我就可以回答. Oh hell no. I am still single.也许美国的南⽅不如北⽅那么进步, 但是这⼉的⼈们却多了⼀份的纯朴, 有空不妨也到南⽅来看看!--------------------------------------------------------------------美式地道⼝语(四):Up & Down这集要来跟各位介绍⼀下 up 跟 down 这两个字的妙⽤. 诸位也许不知道, 这两个字除了代表上下之外, 也有北上和南下的意思, 当然也有⼤声⼩声的⽤法, 还有尊敬跟瞧不起的意思. 真是妙⽤⽆穷. 我们快点来看看在⼝语中要如何活⽤ up 跟 down 这两个字.1. Did you get down to Florida last summer?你上个暑假有去佛罗⾥达吗?英⽂中有⼀点很好玩⽽且跟中⽂很像的地⽅就是, 在中⽂⾥通常我们会说, 我南下⼴州, 或是北上吉林, ⽽不单纯说我去⼴州或我去吉林. 英⽂中也是这么⽤的喔! 像是你南下 Florida , 就会说成 get down Florida 或是 go down Florida.Get down 还有很多其它的意思, 不要搞混了. 例如记下某⼀句话你就可以说 I'll get down what you said today.2. Have you heard of Buffalo, New York? My parents live up there.你知道⽔⽜城吗? 我的⽗母住在那边.南边的地⽅通常会加 down, 那北边就是加 up 了. 你说 live up there 那⼀定是指在北⽅. 像⽔⽜城地理在美国的北⽅, 我在亚特兰⼤就可以跟别⼈说 My parents live up there. 但要是你⼈在加拿⼤, 那这句话就要说成 Live down there. 因为⽔⽜城是在加拿⼤的南⽅. 所以⽤ up 或 down 全视南⽅或北⽅⽽定.3. I went to Europe last month because my friends live over there.我上个⽉去欧洲, 因为我的朋友住那⾥.我想⼤家⼀定会很好奇, 那东边⼜怎么说? 西边⼜怎么说? 通常他们不分东边或是西边,⼀律⽤ over there 或是 out there. ⽐如说你在美国, 你的朋友住欧洲. ⽽美国和欧洲并没有很明显的东西之分. 这时你就可以说 live out there 或是 live over there.4. How have you been up there?你在那⾥过得如何?How have you been 是⼀句⽇常的问候语, 就相当于你最近过得怎么样了. 加上 up there, 则表⽰那个⼈可能是从北⽅来的. 或是可能刚从北⽅回来. 我刚来美国时有⼀次到波⼠顿去玩, 回来之后有⼀个⽼美就问我 What did you do up there? 那时就是因为不知道 up there 代表什么意思害我楞在那⾥半天.5. I drove all the way up to Boston.我⼀路开车到波⼠顿.All the way 翻成中⽂就是"⼀路到底" 的意思. 这个⽚语常跟 up 或 down 合⽤, 例如你说 I drove all the way up there. 或是⽐⽅说去溜滑梯, 你就可以说 You can slide all the way down to the the bottom.6 . Hey, look at the girl up there.嘿. 看看在上⾯的那个⼥孩.要注意⼀下 up 和 down 不完全当北边和南边解释. 要看上下⽂⽽定. 像在这个句⼦⾥, up there 代表的是在上⾯的意思. 因为在⽇常的对话中我们不太可能说, "看看北边的那个⼥孩" 我们只会说, 看看上⾯的那个⼥孩. 所以英⽂中的道理也是⼀样的. 同理, Look the girl down there 就是看看在下⾯的那个⼥孩.7. Never look down on people less superior than you.不要轻视不如你的⼈.Look down on someone 就是说你看不起⼈家, 有点像是中⽂⾥狗眼看⼈低的意思. 所以才会说 Look down. 要是很看得起某⼈, 则是说 Look up on someone.8. Can you keep it down?你能不能保持安静.Up 和 Down 也常常⽤来表⽰声⾳的⼤⼩喔. Keep it down 就是保持⾳量不要太⼤. 像是有⼀次我们在考试, 结果⾛道上还有⼀些⼈在喧哗. 我是很想叫他们⼩声⼀点但是苦于不知要如何开⼝. 还好我同学这时挺⾝⽽出, 跑去跟他们说 Can you keep it down?9. Could you turn it up?能不能把它开⼤⼀点.凡是电器类的产品, 开⼤⼀点就叫 turn up, 关⼩⼀点就是 turn down. 例如你希望冷⽓开强⼀点, 就是 Could you turn it up? 关⼩⼀点 Could you turn it down? 其它像是电视的⾳量开⼤也叫 turn up, 关⼩叫 turn down. 附带⼀提如果是打开则是 turn on, 关掉叫 turn off.这期的笔记本⼀⼝⽓介绍了许多实⽤的 up 跟 down 的⽤法给⼤家, 希望⼤家都能记得住.--------------------------------------------------------------------美式地道⼝语(五):钱出门在外就是⼀定要花钱的, 所谓有钱好办事, 胆⼩的⼈有钱也能靠钱来壮壮胆. 但是有钱也不能⽼装阔, 凡事还是先问问⼈家, "这个东西要不要钱?" (先想想这句话英⽂要怎么讲) 有⼀次我跟⼀个待在美国已经⼀年的朋友出游, 我发现他因为不会问 "你们收不收钱?" 这种简单的句⼦,结果就是害我们每⼈⽩⽩被敲诈了⼀块美⾦. ⼀块美⾦虽然是⼩钱, 但⼼⾥上却另⼈觉得不怎么愉快. 这到底是怎么⼀回事呢? 让我们来看看这篇关于钱钱的故事.1. Do you take money?你们要收钱吗?很多东西真的⼀定要先问清楚才⾏, 天底下真的没有⽩吃的午餐这种事情. 尤其美国的⼀些⼤城市路上有很多街头艺⼈, 穿著奇装异服, 有些观光客好奇拿著照相机喀喳⼀声, 他就跑过来跟你要钱了. 有⼀次更扯. 我同学说我们⼤家跟他合照⼀张, 结果他每⼈跟我们收⼀块美⾦. 哪有这么好赚的事? 但是照⽚都照了⼜不能说不给. 所以出国观光, 这种简单的句⼦⼀定要熟记. Do you take money? 要是他说 Yes, 再问他 How much? 这样才不会吃亏.这句话你也可以简单地问, Is it free? 但是记得, There's no such thing as a free lunch. 看到有⼈站在那⾥, 就该⼼⾥有数了.2. You owe me three dollars.你还要找我三块钱.说真的, 我也是来美国好⼀阵⼦之后, 才知道 "找"钱要怎么说. ⽼美的说法就是, 你还⽋ "owe" 我⼏块钱. 他们没有 "找钱" 这个动词. ⽐如说你去买东西他应该找你三块, 可是他可能忘了, 这时你就可以提醒他, You owe me three dollars.3. Let's call it a wash.剩下的不⽤给了!假设我⽋你 9.8 块, 你⽋我 10 块钱, 这时说 Let's call it a wash, 就是" 差不多, 不⽤算了, 不⽤计较" 的意思罗! 不过说真的这句话我问过⽼美,有些⽼美也不知道, 所以并不是很常⽤就是了.4. Pass the hat.⼤家出钱吧.有⼀次要跟⽼美要去系上的聚会, 我好奇地问他们, Is it free? 结果有个⽼美跟我说. pass the hat. 害我当场楞在那⾥不知如何是好, ⼜问了⼀次, 他还是说 pass the hat. 事后才知道, 原来 pass the hat 就是说拿个帽⼦跟⼤家收钱, 看你要交多少随意. 因为在国外的乞丐都是拿帽⼦讨钱的, 跟台湾拿碗的不太⼀样. 所以说法也就不同.如果你去参加了⼀个所谓 pass the hat 的聚会, 就⼀定会⽤到 put in (plug in) 这个动词. 这个动词就是每个⼈ "出多少钱" 的意思. 例如, Everybody puts in 5 dollars. 就是每个⼈出五块钱.5. Let's chip in 20 dollars to buy him a present.让我们⼤家凑⼆⼗块钱帮他买份礼物吧.Chip in 就是⼤家出钱的意思, 这跟以前介绍过的 pass the hat 有点类似. 但 pass the hat 指的多半是⼤家⾃⼰出⾃⼰的, ⽽ chip in 则是说每个⼈出⼀点钱,把这个钱拿去作⼀件事. 可能是买礼物啦, 或是分担⼀些共同的费⽤. 例如有⼀次我去别⼈家玩, 结果很不幸的门不知道为什么被锁住了, ⼤家都进不住, 这时就有⼈说, OK. Let's chip in some money to call the locksmith.6. Have you ever seen a silver dollar?有没有看过⼀元的硬币?⽼美的硬币每个都有⼀个名字, ⼀分钱叫 penny, 五分是 nickel, ⼀⾓是 dime, ⼆⾓五是 quarter, ⼤家都知道, 另外有⼀元的硬币较少见, 叫silver dollar, 想看的⼈可以去投邮票⾃动贩卖机, 它就会找你很多⼀元的硬币, 另外值得⼀提的是, 各位如果有机会去赌城⼤西洋城玩, ⼀定要找⼀个叫 nickel paradise 的地⽅, ⾥⾯的吃⾓⼦⽼虎都是投nickel 的, 保证可以让你玩到⼿酸.另外, ⽼美习惯上把 dollars 也讲成 bucks, 例如⼗元你可以说 ten dollars 或是 ten bucks ⼆个都⼗分常⽤. ⾄于千元, 你可以说 one thousand 或是 one grand 都是千元的意思. (注意⼀下, ⼆千的话是 two grand ⽽不是 two grands 这个 grand 是不加复数的.)最新消息, 美国⾃ 1999 年起, 规定各州可以发⾏⾃⼰的 quarter. 所以现在美国境内所流通的 quarter 可说是五花⼋门, 所以下次再拿到 quarter 时不妨多看两眼, 有兴趣的话⼤家⼀起来收集!7. How much is the cover?⼊场费是多少钱?美国的⼀些夜⽣活场所例如舞厅, 电动游乐场等, 都有所谓的⼊场费 (cover). 这个 cover 通常是不包括饮料以及吃东西的消费. 另外⽼美有⼀个⽐较⼝语的问法, How much to get in? 问的也是 cover 是多少钱. 所以下次如果再跟⽼外去 night club, 不妨问⼀声, How much is the cover?或是, How much to get in?8. I am broke.我很穷.以前在国内说⾃⼰很穷总喜欢⽤ I am poor 这样的句⼦. 但我发现在美国 I am poor ⽤得并不多. ⼀般会⽤到 poor 这个字都是讲穷⼈ poor people ⽽⾔, 当然说我很穷⽤ I am poor 也没错. 可是相较之下说 I am broke 的更多. ⽐⽅说别⼈邀请你去吃饭, 你可以说 No, I am broke. Maybe next time.9. She just got a sugar dad.她找到⼀个有钱的⽼男⼈.有些年轻貌美的⼥性会去认⼀些有钱, 但是⽣活⽆趣的⼈当乾爸, 甚⾄是跟⼈家拍拖, 为的就是看看能不能得到什么好处. 这种有钱的⽼男⼈就被戏称为 sugar dad 同样的, 有钱的⽼⼥⼈呢? 就叫 sugar mom.10. Ching-Ching.钱钱.⼤家知不知道开收银机时会有什么声⾳? 就是清脆的 ching-ching ⼆声, 那开收银机要做什么, 当然就是有钱赚了, 所以 ching-ching 就代表钱钱的意思, 像是 force of nature 中, 男主⾓跑去同性恋酒吧客串跳脱⾐舞, 结果赚了很多钱, ⼀路就听他在 ching-ching ching-ching.希望⼤家都能有很多 ching-ching, ching-ching.--------------------------------------------------------------------美式地道⼝语(六):美式幽默这⼀集的内容收录的都是在美国⼀些⽐较幽默的说法, 也许在⽇常⽣活中不是那么常见, 但如果在适当的时机使⽤, 必可收画龙点睛之效.1. Is she big-boned?她是不是很魁梧啊?Big-bone 看字⾯解释就知道是指⾻架很粗⼤. 这对美⼥(美国的⼥⼈) 来说是见怪不怪的. 在电影 Something about Mary 中就有这⼀句, Is she big-boned?那娇⼩的⼥⼦怎么说? 娇⼩就是 petite. 很多从亚洲来⼥⽣来美国都抱怨买不到合适的⾐服, 其实很多店都有⼀区 petite. 去那⾥找找, 保证你会有意想不到的收获. 若是真的找不到, 就试试 teenager 那⼉也有许多合适的⾐服2. We have a female shortage here.我们这⾥闹⼥⼈荒.由于我的学校是理⼯学院, 所以男⼥⽐例⾃然是不均匀, 有⼀次连⽼美也不禁感叹道, We have a female shortage here. 这样的说法是不是听来很特别? 其实我看根本就不只是 female shortage ⽽是 female drought. 或是更夸张⼀点的讲法, We have a female extinction here.3. You are a freaking Yankee.你是怪怪的北⽅佬.⽼美彼此之间很喜欢拿对⽅的出⽣地作⽂章. 因为南北的差异, 所以或多或少北⽅⼈看不起南⽅⼈, 南⽅⼈也看不起北⽅⼈. Yankee 是南北战争时北军的⼠兵叫 Yankee, 现在⼀般指北⽅佬. ⽽ freaking 是说这⼈很怪, 或者解释成怪胎也可以.刚来美国时 Yankee 这个字发⾳⽼发得不对, 别⼈都听不懂我在讲什么. 主要是因为受到国内把 Yankee 翻译成 "洋基" 的关系吧! 其实这个字应该是读成 "盐鸡" 还⽐较接近⼀点. (⼀不⼩⼼去想到台湾最有名的"盐酥鸡", 害我肚⼦饿的要命!)4. I am laying low.我ㄠ起来了.有⼀次我问⼀个⽼美, How are you doing? 结果他回我 I am laying low. 结果在场的⽼美都在笑, 但是只有我听不懂. 其实 laying low 就是说躲的低低的, 怕被别⼈看到, 就是想办法混就对了. 事后⽼美跟我解释说这句话其实没那么好笑, 主要是因为我听不懂, ⼤家才⼜觉得更好笑.5 I cut the cheese.我放屁了.⼀般⼈说放屁这个字都会⽤ fart 这个字, 但是 cut the cheese 也有放屁的意思在⾥⾯. 为什么呢? 因为⼤家想想切 cheese 时会发出什么声⾳?是不是和放屁很像呢? 但是这样的⽤法似乎并不常⽤, 我只在某部很烂的⽚⼦: Mysterious Man ⾥听过⼀次.6. Do you go out with your gun loaded?你要带著你上膛的枪出门吗?此枪⾮彼枪. ⼤家应该知道我指的是什么样的 "枪", 这句也是我去看 Something about Mary 这部电影时学到的. 使⽤时机就是有些男⼈出去跟⼥⼈约会, 满脑⼦想的就是如何跟她上床, 你要糗糗他, 就可以这么说 Do you go out with your gun loaded? She probably will get hurt.7. She is a big gossip.她是⼋卦夫⼈.Gossip 指的就是⼋卦新闻, 但它也可以拿来形容⼀个⼈很⼋卦. 所以 She is a big gossip 就是说她是个⼋卦夫⼈. 或是你也可以说, She is gossipy. 中⽂⾥讲的⼴播电台在美国倒是不常见, 反⽽是有另⼀种说说 She is an information bureau (她是情报局) 也蛮有趣的.8. If the boys stare at you, they have guts to suck your teeth!如果男⽣盯著你看, 他们就有胆亲你.这是我看电视 Full House 学来的, 是⼆个姐妹的对话, 这句话有三个地⽅我觉的很棒, 第⼀个是 stare at you, 就是指盯著⼈家看的意思, have guts 就是说有胆⼦的意思, (这是⼀个巧合, 中⽂英⽂说有胆⼦都是说有勇⽓的意思!) ⽽最后⼀个 suck your teeth 则是指亲嘴的意思, 很有趣,但是像这种句⼦是⼩孩⼦说的, 难登⼤雅之堂.亲嘴还有另外⼀个⼝语的⽤法: smooch 例如 I didn't smooch that girl last night. 我昨晚没亲那个⼥孩.9. She is vertically challenged.她向她的⾝⾼挑战.这样的说法就是说⼈家很 的意思, 但是是⽐较婉转 (political correctness) 的说法. 什么什么 challenged 就是说有某⽅⾯的障碍, 如 mentally challenged 就是说⼼智障碍, 也就是低能⼉的意思.关于这个 political correctness ⽼美也常⽤, 不过中⽂并没有适当相对应的翻法. 所谓的 political correctness 就是说为了不得罪某⼀族群的⼈,⽽在⽤辞上加以修饰, 让它听来不会歧视某⼀族群. 例如 chairman 这个字, 可能会得罪某些⼥性主义者, 所以就发明了 chairperson 这个字. 这样⼦的转变, 就可以算是 political correctness.10. Where can I dump these white elephants?这些⽆⽤的垃圾我要丢到哪⾥?⽐如说家中的 286 计算机⽤之⽆味, 弃之可惜, 放在那⾥⼀摆就是好⼏年, 这种垃圾就叫 white elephant. 只是这样的说法真的很少见, 连⽼美都不⼀定知道 white elephant 是什么意思. 不过有些⼈还是会这么⽤, 我曾听⼀个⽼美他说, The fountain is a white elephant. 意思是, 这个喷⽔池真是废物.有些⽼美会在⾃家的庭院前办所谓的 garage sale, 就是把⼀些家⾥很少⽤到的东西拿出来卖. 有些⼈的告⽰上会写 White elephant sale. 如果你不知道 whte elephant 指的是⽆⽤之物的话, 你可能会觉得蛮奇怪的, 为什么有⼈在卖⽩⼤象呢? ^___^--------------------------------------------------------------------美式地道⼝语(七):耍嘴⽪⼦本集来换换⼝味吧, ⼤家知不知道怎么样⽤英语来表达你很喜欢⼀个⼥孩⼦呢? 如何讲⼀些让⼥孩⼦感动的话呢? 不过我收集的这些会话, 并不是⼗分浪漫, 却是有点耍嘴⽪⼦的痞⼦味道... 就看各位要如何应⽤了.1. Do you have a quarter? Because I promised I would call my mom as soon as I fell in love.你有零钱吗? 因为我答应我⽼妈当我恋爱时要⽴刻打电话给她.2.

Do you like to do some work out? No, I want to play badminton你想不想去作运动啊? 不, 我想打⽻⽑球.⼤家想到运动, 可能第⼀个想到的就是 exercise, 但是你会发现在美国更常听到的是 work out 这个字. 所谓的 work out, 主要是指⼀些健⾝房的运动. 例如你去举重 (lift weight) 跑步机 (treadmill), 或是像是有氧运动 (aerobics) 都算是 work out. 当然美国现在很流⾏的 kickboxing (它真正的名字叫 "TaeBo", 源⾃于 Tae-kwon-do 跆拳道以及拳击 Boxing) 也算是⼀种 work out. 但是如果是去打⽹球, 就不要说 work out, ⼀般就直接说 I am going to play tennis.这个 kickboxing 是最近美国新兴的⼀种有氧舞蹈. 记得以前在电视上看到的有氧舞蹈都是那种 one more, two more. 但是那种跳起来不够激烈的 aerobics 是⽆法得到美国⼥⼈的青睐的. 所以现在的 kickboxing 都是 kick, kick, punch, punch. 它的动作很多都是从拳击中演变⽽来, 所以⼀场 kickboxing 跳下来绝对会让你满⾝⼤汗.2. Is a court available now? We want to book it now.现在还有场地吗? 我们想要预约⼀个场地.我⾃已常把 Is a court available? 讲成 Is there a court available? 后来也是⽼美纠正我, 只要讲 Is a court available? 就可以了. ⼀般的运动场。
地道美国流行语
地道美国流行语[一]很棒美语中关于"好"的说法很多,活用以下这些说法对于在美国生活很有帮助:It's cool! 很好,很棒!cool在英文里可以说是应用最广的词之一,几乎随时随地都可以听到。
通常有两种场合人家会说cool!一个场合是,当有人说了一件不错的事情,例如,"I am going to college this year."你可以说"Cool!" 另外一个场合多半是别人问你做了某件事没,你说做了,别人就会说cool。
如,人家问你,"Did you go to watch the football game yesterday?"你说"yes."人家就会说"cool!"It's neat!太酷了!It is righteous!酷毙了!我们可以这样说,neat是cool的比较级;righteous是cool的级。
当一件事无法用cool 形容时,就用到了neat和righteous。
在这里neat和righteous就不能解释成"整洁的"和"正直的"。
It's good.That's great.That's wonderful.That's incredible.以上这三个短语大家都相当熟悉。
我们也可以把great和wonderful看成是good的比较级和高级形式,而incredible算是good这一系列的级吧。
It's terrific.That's awesome.awesome和terrific一样,在字典里都是"可怕"的意思,可是在美国当你听到别人说这两个词时,就只有"很棒"的意思。
如,当别人问你"How do you think of that game?"你就可以回答"Awesome!" or "Terrific!"[二]抱怨下面来看一些关于抱怨的常用习语:Our team sucks.我们这个队很烂。
日常生活中真正地道的美国英语
It's all there for a reason.
有许多的观念都是长久以来传袭下来的,诸如传统或是一些约定俗成的规章,若你觉得这些经过时间考验的规章、传统甚或观念,“自有其存在的道理”,你就可以用这句话It's all there for a reason.来表达你捍卫传统的立场。
9.背水一战 势在必行
There's no turning back.
依字面上来看,There's no turning back.就是“没有退路”的意思,凡是遇到势在必行,决定了就不能反悔的事情,都可以说There's no turning back.。说得文言一点就是“背水一战”。
26. I don't buy it.
我可不买你的账。
这句话可不要误以为是“我不买了。”“买你的账”在这儿就是“相信你的话"”,即"I don't believe it."如果真说“我不买了。”,要说"I will leave it."记得吗?我们学过"Take it or leave it."就是“要买就买,不买就算。”
21. I feel run down.
我觉得我的身体很差。
run down在这句话中的意思并不是向下跑的意思。它在这句话中指的是情况恶化。
22. You messed up.
你办砸了。
有不少人英语学了很多年了,很长的句子都能看懂,然而在和老外交流时却发现自己还是张不开嘴。其中的一个原因就是我们忽视了很多口语里常常使用的短小精悍的句子。像这句话里'mess'指的是“混乱、搞混”,比如你一进家门发现家里乱成一团,你就可以由衷的喊道,"What a mess!"

学美式口语_20句美国人最常用口头禅
学美式口语:20句美国人最常用口头禅1、You bet.为什么当老美说,"You bet." 的时候,就代表你说的一点也没错的意思呢?因为bet 是下赌注的意思,所以"You bet." 就是指,"You can bet money on that." (你可以把钱下注在上面),言下之意,就是说这件事百分之百正确。
例如别人问你,"Is this is the way to High Tower Museum?" (这是往High Tower 博物馆的路吗?) 你就可以回答说,"You bet." (一点也没错)有时候为了加强语气,连小屁屁(ass) 都可以拿来当赌注喔!用来表示这件事是百分之两百地正确。
例如电视影集"Friends" 里面,Monica 有一次就说了一句让我至今都印象深刻的话,"You bet your ass I'm going to fire you." (你完完全全正确,我非把你开除不可。
)当然如果不是在跟人家吵架时我们最好还是不要拿小屁屁来当赌注吧!2. There you go.就这样了。
"There you go."是老美希望结束一段对话时,很自然会脱口而出的一句话,特别是在完成某项交易的时候。
像是你去买一样东西,当你付完钱之后店员会说,"There you go." 或"That's it." 就表示交易已经完成,你可以滚了。
另外像是电台的点歌节目DJ 在播放音乐之前都会说,"There you go."表示你要的音乐我找到了,现在要开始播放你所点的歌曲了。
有时候你提醒别人讲话别讲太久也是用"There you go."例如有一次班上同学交报告给教授,结果教授还跟他讲东讲西的,那老美也不客气,就说,"Well, I just came by to give you my report, so, there you go!" 这时教授就知道他不想再讲下去了,如果再讲下去自己就太不识相了。

实实在在的美国人常用地道英语口语
有人开会迟到了,你若对他说“You are late 。
”,听起来象是废话,若说“Did you get lost ?”,则更能让他歉然,可别说成“Get lost!”那可是让人滚蛋的意思。
别人征求你的意见,问能否开窗户等,你要说“You can do that 。
”就有点土了,用一句“Do you have the time? ”实际上,问他人的姓名,地址都可以这么用:“May I have you name?“要比”What’s your name ? ”礼貌得多,不过警察例外。
别人问你不愿公开的问题,切勿用“It’s my secret ,Don’t ask such a personal question 。
”回答,一来显得你没有个性,二来也让对方尴尬。
你可以说“I would rather not say 。
”(还是别说了吧!)。
有时候,你想说什么,可说是想不起来,你可以说“Well …”“Let me see”“Just a moment ”或“It’s on the tip of my tongue。
”等,想比之下,最后一个句型是最地道的。
交谈时,你可能会转换话题,不要只说“By the way ”,实际上,“To change the subject”“Before I forget”“While I remember”“Mind you ”都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。
遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂,“I know”可能是中国人用得最多,而美国人最不能接受的一句话。
当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时,你如果连说两遍“I know”可能是中国人用得最多,而美国人最不能接受的一句话。
当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时,你如果连说两遍“I know”,我敢保证,他不会再跟你说什么了。
用“I know ”或“I got it ”就顺耳得多,要是不懂就说“I’m not clear about it 。

更多内容请关注我们应届毕业生网哦!1. I'm goodI'm good除了可以用来回答How are you?,表示“我很好”之外,还常用于:- Do you want some chips with your sandwich?你的三明治要带薯条吗?- No, I'm good. Thanks.不用了,谢谢。
- Do you have any questions?你还有什么问题吗?- No, I'm good.没有了。
也可用作委婉拒绝。

2. Go by在课堂自我介绍时,有时会说中文名,然后英文名。
Instead of saying "My Chinese name is xxx, and my English name is xxx.", 你可以这样说:My name is xxx (中文名), and I go by xxx (英文名).Go by即“被叫做,人们常叫我……”,“To be called; beknown”。
例如:Our friend William often goes by Billy.我们的朋友William,我们一般都叫他Billy。
一些美国学生不乐意用自己的原名,而偏好昵称,也可以用go by来表达:My name is Catherine, and I go by Cat.我的名字是Catherine,你们可以叫我Cat。
3. Appreciate it!在美国,每次下公交车的时候,大家都会礼貌地对司机表示感谢,有次看到四个小哥鱼贯而出,每个人表达感谢的语句都不同。
