2013英語口語8000句:Freak Out 反常反應
Feifei : 大家好,我是馮菲菲。Uh! William! 你的手怎么都流血了!
William : Oh, it's a long story. 哦,一言難盡。
Feifei : No, go on. 別,說吧。
William : Well... I invited some friends over to my house last night while my wife was seeing her mother. And, I don't know how it happened but... somehow or other... some red wine got spilled on my carpet. 嗯……昨晚我邀請一些朋友到我的住處,當時我的妻子去看望她媽媽。我不知道是怎么發(fā)生的……莫名其妙地,一些紅酒濺到了我的地毯上了。
Feifei : 有紅酒灑在你的地毯上了……
William : Yes, and of course it's a white carpet. 是的,當然是因為地毯是白色的。
Feifei : Oh no... 哦,不……
William : And then when my wife came home she saw the stain and totally freaked out. So I had to spend the whole night scrubbing the carpet; that's why I've got bleeding hands. 但是后來我妻子看到地毯上的污漬有點抓狂。所以我用了一整夜的時間把地攤上的紅酒刷干凈;這就是我手磨出血的原因。
Feifei : 你太太讓你用了一整夜時間把地毯上的紅酒印刷干凈,所以你的手都磨出血了!不過 William,你剛才用的那個詞是什么來著?Your wife saw the stain and...? 你妻子看到污漬,然后什么?
William : My wife saw the stain and freaked out. To freak out, it means to react to something in an extreme way. 我妻子看到污漬,然后抓狂。這個詞,是極端的不正常的反常反映的意思。
Feifei : To freak out 就是說對某事做出了非常極端的反應。那William,這個說法一般是來形容人被惹得特別生氣的這種情況嗎?
William : Well, we do use it a lot when people get really angry, like my wife over the wine. But people also freak out when they are scared by something or confused or upset. 嗯,當有人真的很生氣的時候,我們用這個詞,比如我的妻子看到地毯上的污漬。但是當對一些事情由于害怕感到不解和沮喪的時候我們也可以用這個詞。
Feifei : 那么我們也可以用它來形容由于某事的發(fā)生而產(chǎn)生的突然的恐懼、迷茫、或者悲痛的情緒和反應。
William : Let's listen to an example. 來看下面的例子。
Example
A : Darren! I thought you were dead! 達倫!我以為你死了!
B : It's Ok Lucy. I'm not a ghost, so don't freak out. 好吧,露西。我不是幽靈,所以不要害怕。
Feifei 在這個例句中,那位女士以為對方這個男士是個鬼,所以她 freaked out.
William : That's right. Or we can say, he freaked her out, he freaked her out. When you think something is strange or frightening it freaks you out. 就是那樣。或者我們可以說,他嚇了她一大跳。當你想到一些奇怪或者讓你心驚膽戰(zhàn)的事的時候,你可以用這個詞。
Feifei : 而剛才你流血的雙手確實也是 freaked me out。
William : Well let's listen to another example. 嗯,來聽其他的例子吧。
Example
C : Did you know that I can touch my nose with my tongue? 你知道嗎,我的舌頭可以舔到我的鼻子。
D : Really? 真的嗎?
C : Yeah, watch... 是的,看……
D : Oh stop it! Stop it! You're freaking me out! 哦,別舔了,太嚇人了!
Feifei : Stop freaking me out... William,我有種預感,和你在一起,我會經(jīng)常用到這個詞組的。
