亿针见血:一些比较牛逼的英文词汇

[英语口语] 一些比较牛逼的英文词汇

送交者: 亿针见血[♂知县★♂]

一些比较牛逼的英文词汇我们看好莱坞大片和美剧的时候，是不是遇到这种现象：很多短句，由最简单的单词构成，每个单词你都认识，但是连在一起就是不知道是啥意思？我最近就在整理我的学习笔记，罗列了很多这样有意思的短句供大家参考。也欢迎各位英语达人，爱好者回帖，给我些反馈意见，谢谢！再有，本文中整理的大部分短句里的重点词汇我都会附上剑桥辞典或牛津辞典对其的定义和解释，相对比较权威可靠。***I’m anal.***不是“我是屁眼。”的意思。没错，anal 的字面意思的确是“肛门的”，比如anal sex 肛交。但I’m anal却是“我有洁癖”的意思。 [剑桥辞典] 对anal的定义：a. (= anal retentive) 整洁成癖的；过分注重细节的describes someone who is too worried about being organized and tidy (Also anally retentive) 例句：1. We are all aware of his anal fondness for filing.我们都知道他极度热衷整理文件的怪癖。2. “Why are you folding clothes?”“Because I'm anal.”“你为啥叠衣服？”“因为我有洁癖。”3. Don't you think Adrian's a bit anally retentive? Look how obsessively orderly everything is in his garage.你不觉得阿德里安有点洁癖吗？你看看他车库里的东西全都摆放得那么整齐，太过头了。呵呵，第一次学，会让人联想翩翩，I’m anal? = I’m an anus? I’m an asshole? (我是个混蛋？) 其实不是的，一查字典才知道是“洁癖”的意思。    ***I’m game!***不是“我是游戏！”。I’m game! 等同于 “Count me in, I’m gonna give it a try 算我一个，我要试一下!”[剑桥辞典] 对game 的定义：a. 愿意尝试的；有冒险精神的willing to do things that are new, risky or difficult. 例句：1. It was a difficult challenge, but Roberta was game.这是个难度很高的挑战，但是罗伯塔很乐于尝试一下。2. She's game for anything. = She dares try anything. 任何事情她都愿意尝试。3. I'm game for any risk. 我可以冒任何风险。4. We need a volunteer for this, who's game to try?我们需要一个志愿者，谁敢试试？***tone deaf***不能直译为“声调聋了”，而是“五音不全”的意思。***make do***make do 不是迫使某人做某事，不是 make sb do sth，更不是“做做”的意思，虽然make 和do都有“做”的意思。        [剑桥辞典] 对make do的定义：凑合，将就to manage to live without things that you would like to have or with things of a worse quality than you would like：例句：1.We didn't have cupboards so we made do with boxes. 我们没有橱柜，只好将就用箱子了。***have somebody’s number***不是“有某人的电话号码”，而是“摸透（某人）的底；对（某人）心中有数” [剑桥辞典]：to know a lot about someone and so have an advantage over them ***keep to oneself***不是“保留给自己”，而是“不合群”[剑桥辞典]：tonot talk to other people very much ***get it over with***= to finish something once and for all 一劳永逸***My two cents***不是“我的两分钱”，而是“我的建议”的意思。例句：1. My two cents is that you should sell that stock now. 我建议你现在卖掉那支股票。[维基百科] 解释其出处："My two cents/ my two pennies (worth)" is derived from the much older 16th Century English expression, "a penny for your thoughts", possibly a sarcastic response to receiving more opinion than was wanted "I said a penny for your thoughts, but I got two pennies' worth". This expression is also often used at the end of a statement, e.g. "Just my two cents." ***walk of life***不是“生命的漫步”，而是“各行各业”[剑桥辞典]: When people talk about walk(s) of life they are referring to different types of jobs and different levels of society以上的这些词汇，虽然都是最简单的单词构成，但却都是生活中经常能用得到的口语和概念：“洁癖”，“五音不全”，“凑合着”，“各行各业”等等。下面这些极短句Short Phrases要连接上下文，才能体现出其寓意。我就省去上下文，直接把它们罗列出来了，以后有时间再慢慢做补充说明：***I’m on it!            不是“我在上面”，而是“我正弄着呢! I’m working on it!”***Bite me!            不是“咬我”，而是“少跟我来这套！”***Beats me!             不是“打我”，而是“我懵了，我不知道”***Don’t sweat it!            不是“别出汗”，而是“别担心 Don’t worry, take it easy!”***Heads will roll!            不是“脑袋滚”，而是“有人要倒霉！”***That’s all there is to it.         = that’s it, that’s all.***That’s all there is to that.    = that’s it, that’s all.花了一个小时，整理了一小部分，如果大家觉得有意思，就回帖，我继续整理此类“由简单的英文单词构成，但又容易产生歧义的词汇”。也希望各位英语达人和爱好者多多共享一些此类的单词，词组，短语等等，大家互相学习。但太简单的，像什么What’s up什么 It’s up to you之类的，太常见了，大家都耳熟能详的常用口头语 ，就不要再提及了，因为网上到处都是这种帖子。
