不是“绿色”的意思,也不是“生气”的意思,有时表示“新手,没有经验”。 例子:She’s really green, she looks nervous.(她是新手,看起来很紧张)
10.Have a crush on someone(爱上某人)
由于crush是“压碎, 碾碎”的意思,因此整个短语容易被误解为“对某人施加压力”的意思, 实际上此词表示“爱上某人”,与fall in love with 同意。。 例子:She thinks she has a crush on someone on John.(她认为她爱上约翰了)
5.freak out(大发脾气)
总是在片子中看到这个词,freak是“奇异的, 反常的”的意思,但此词是“大发脾气”的意 思,out也可以省略,这个词在美国很常用,老式说法是 be very upset。 例子:He’s gonna freak(他快要发脾气了)
6.Get out of here(别开玩笑了,别骗人了)
这个词大家都很熟悉,容易联想到“滚开”的意思,现在很多时候都是“别开玩笑了,别骗人 了”的意思,在片子常可以听到,在美国非常流行。 例子:(Man:)You look very beautiful(你很漂亮) (Girl:)Get out of here.( 别骗了)
3.pissed off(生气,不高兴)
piss off在字典中则是“滚开, 滚蛋”的意思,实际上此词是表 示“生气,不高兴”的意思,与angry同意。 例子:Man, is that guy pissed of?(哎呀,哪家伙真的生气了)
l i've been dying to meet you. 我非常非常想见到你
l everytime i see you,you leave me out in the cold. 每次我见到你,你都不睬我
l i only have eyes for you . 我只在意你
l i'd do anything to see you crack a smile. 为了博得你的一笑,我情愿做任何事
l you swept me off my feet. 你使我神魂颠倒
l you don't have a care in the world. 你不知人间烦恼为何物

l if you don't want to lose me,you'd better lay it on the line. 如果你不想失去我,就最好一五一十地告诉我吧
l tell me your story,i'm all ears. 告诉我你的故事,我洗耳恭听
l someday,when your ship come in,you'll bulid your dream house. 总有一天,当你有钱时,你会建造你梦想的家

l really??you are so bad! 真的吗?你真棒!!!
l Hey!wise up!放聪明点好吗?
当别人做了蠢事时,你可以说,“Don‘t be stupid!”或“Don‘t be silly.”但这是非常不礼貌的说法。客气一点的说法就是:Wise up!你也可以用尖酸刻薄的语气说Wise up, please.然后故意把please的尾音拉得长长的。也有人会说, Hey! Grow up.意思就是你长大一点好不好?例如有人20岁了还不会自己补衣服,你就可以说Hey! grow up.这根wise up是不是也差不多呢?
l Put up or shut up.要么你就去做,不然就给我闭嘴。
要注意的是,Put up字典上查不到“自己去做”的意思,但见怪不怪,很多口语都是字典上查不到的。这句话也让人想到一句成语:walk the walk, talk the talk,即说到做到,有点像是中文里的言行一致,或是只说:walk the talk也可以。
l You eat with that mouth?你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗?
别人对你说脏话,你就回敬他这句,言下之意是你的嘴那么脏,你还用它吃饭?还有一种说法:“You kiss your mother with that mouth?”你用这张脏嘴亲你妈妈吗?所以下次记得如果有老外对你说脏话,不要再骂回去,保持风度,说一句,“You eat with that mouth?”就扯平了。
l You are dead meat.你死定了。也可以说:“You are dead.”你完蛋了。
l Don‘t you dare!How dare you!你好大的胆子啊
这句话可以在两种场合说,第一种是很严肃的场合,如小孩子很调皮,不听话,父母就会说,“Don‘t you dare!”意思是你给我当心点,不然等会就要挨打了。另一种场合是开玩笑,如有人说他要跟某网友约会,你说“Don‘t you dare?”就有点开玩笑的语气,你不怕被恐龙给吃了吗?
l Don‘t push me around.不要摆布我。
通常当我讲这句话时,我还会想到一个字“bossy”,像是老板一样,喜欢指挥别人。如:“You are so bossy. I don‘t like that.”这句话也可以单讲,“Don‘t push me.”或“Don‘t push me any further.”还有一句跟push有关的成语:push the button,指使,操纵。如:“I know why you are doing this, someone is pushing your button!”
l You want to step outside?
You want to take this outside?想到外面解决吗?老外跟我们一样,二个人一言不合吵起来了,可能就有人要说这句了,指的就是要不要出去打架啦。我还听过类似的用法,如:“Do you want to pick a fight?”你要挑起争端吗?或“This means war.”这就意味着跟我宣战。 You and what army?You and who else?你和哪一路人马啊?要是有人跟你说“Do you want to step outside?”就回他这一句。意思是说:“喔……那你找了多少人来打架啊?”有时候电视里出现这句对白时,还会打出一排军队的电脑动画,非常有意思。还有一句话也很好玩:“Who‘s side are you on?”这是在快要打架时,你问人家:你到底是哪一边的?
I'm so fed up with your BS. Cut the crap.
我受够了你的废话, 少说废话吧.
美女 (美国的女人) 是不喜欢说 shit 这个不雅的字的, 所以她们就说 shoot, 或是BS(=Bull shit) 来表示她们还是很有气质的. "Cut your crap." 是当你听到对方废话连篇, 讲个不停时, 你就可以说, "Cut the crap." 相当于中文里的废话少话.
