英語基礎(chǔ)口語:時(shí)下流行口頭禪

字號(hào):

以下是整理的《英語基礎(chǔ)口語:時(shí)下流行口頭禪》,希望大家喜歡! 1. It's cool.
    cool是青少年(teen-agers)常用的字,(有時(shí)也用debonaire)其真正意思是指可以接受的好事;或是情況可以控制;或是保持冷靜、文雅、禮貌、外表不錯(cuò),能夠合乎年輕人的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。(可指人或事物)也就是something good or acceptable;situation is under control;being calm, gentle, courteous or good-looking;meet teen's standard.所以可以說:
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳傘或沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)很不錯(cuò))
    主詞可用任何人稱的單復(fù)數(shù)(I, we, they等),動(dòng)詞可用verb to be的任何時(shí)態(tài)(is, was, were, will be, have been等)。因此,也可以說:
    She (He) was cool in the past.
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的運(yùn)動(dòng)衫)
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅禮貌的人)
    但是如果說:Are you cool?又是指「你冷嗎?」(cool = cold),可見cool當(dāng)口頭禪或俚語時(shí),多半不用在問句。假如說:
    She looks as cool as a cucumber.又是恭維語,是說她很calm and charming; not emotional.
    2. Are you tripping?
    trippin'這個(gè)字,是由動(dòng)詞trip演變而來。(動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)是:tripped, tripping)年輕人用省略符號(hào)(apostrophe )代替g,表示是slang,或口頭禪。這個(gè)字是現(xiàn)在分詞當(dāng)形容詞用,是指行為異乎尋常,也許受到吸毒或喝酒的影響,而顯得神魂顛倒、奇形怪狀(to get high on drug such as LSD),也就是說:要不是受到藥、酒的影響,你為什么顯得這樣古怪呢?(Are you under any influence of drug or alcoholic? Why are you so crazy and bizarre?)所以可以說:
    They are trippin'.(= tripping)
    She (he) is trippin'.
    Mr. A must be trippin'.
    通常只用在年輕人身上,而且不是恭維語。
    3. He is a nerd
    nerd是指一些年輕人,每天只懂讀書、考試,但對(duì)生活上的其他事情,都很生疏。(A person always buries his nose in books, but not good at social situations.)由於美國(guó)十分重視多方面發(fā)展的教育(well-rounded),所以許多美國(guó)人認(rèn)為nerd雖然學(xué)識(shí)不錯(cuò),但很乏味;有IQ,但缺乏EQ,只是社會(huì)上無足輕重的「書蟲」或「蠢貨」而已。(IQ = Intelligence Quotient ; EQ = Emotional Quotient) nerd可用復(fù)數(shù),動(dòng)詞也能用其他時(shí)態(tài)。因此可以說:
    He used to be a nerd in high school
