“She is easy”什么意思？可千万别乱用！

当我们用英文形容他人随和好相处时，很多同学都会想到easy，但有时这个词也会引起一些歧义，来看看牛津词典的解释：

1. pleasant and friendly

2. willing to have sex with many different people

easy在形容人的时候，除了可以表示平易近人；也可指（女性）轻浮，水性杨花，属于非正式用语。

所以为了避免引起误会，尽量不要说“She is easy”；

或者可以这样表达：

She is easy to get along with.

她很好相处。

I’m easy 什么意思？

I’m easy 表示我随意；我都可以。

释义：used to say that you do not have a strong opinion when sb has offered you a choice

’Do you want to watch this or the news?’

“你想看这个节目还是看新闻？”

’Oh, I’m easy. It’s up to you.’

“噢，我随便。你决定吧。”
