Ⅳ 用英語怎麼說「么么噠」
1.Kiss
air kiss飛吻
french kiss濕吻
kiss and make up和好
kiss of death死亡之吻,指表面上有益而實則有害的行為(或事物)
kiss ass拍馬屁(粗話,慎用)
2.Peck
Peck的本意是「啄」,口語中它可以表示匆匆而又輕輕的一吻。
He pecked her on the cheek as he went out.
他出門時匆匆地在她的臉頰輕輕一吻。
3.Smacker
Smacker也只適用於非正式的口語,但和矜持的peck不同,smacker是指發出聲音的親吻。
He planted a smacker on my cheek.
他在我的臉上啵了一下。
4.Smooch
Smooch尤指在慢舞是擁抱接吻。
I smooched with him on the dance floor.
我和他在舞池裡擁吻。
5. XOXO(Hugs and kisses)=么么噠
現在英美流行用X表示親吻。還記得《緋聞女孩》里每集都會出現的那句話嗎?XOXO,gossip girl(O代表擁抱,這句話的意思就是緋聞女孩,親親抱抱)。
You know you love me,XOXO, Gossip Girl.
你知道你愛我的,么么噠,我是緋聞女孩。
Ⅳ 請問英文俚語Okeydoke的來歷
這一詞語來源於100年多前南北內戰時,有一製造餅乾的商人名Orrin Kendall(縮寫OK),他的出品批發軍中做糧食,極受歡迎,每塊餅幹上面印有OK兩個字母作為商標。
美國第七任總統傑克遜早年曾任法庭文書,在每份記錄審查無訛後,他就批OK兩字,表示Oll Korrect(All Correct)。後來傑克遜競選總統,對方有人用這個傳說來詆毀他,指為不學無術、寫別字之徒。
Okay這個詞是在19世紀由一個政治團體發明的。有一個人叫Martin Van Buren,准備參加總統競選,他的擁護者成立了一個俱樂部為他做宣傳,俱樂部的名稱就叫「Okay Club」,據說O和K兩個字母取自於Van Buren的故鄉,紐約州的Old Kinderhook,那是他出生的地方。
(5)拍馬屁的英語口語擴展閱讀:
OK是一個非正式的口語化的詞。意思是:好的,可以接受的。也可以表示贊同,同意。OK又可以寫成okay或者O.K.,發音一樣。它也是世界知名度最高的一個英文單詞。
美國人對某件事表示贊同或認可時,常說ok,意思是"好","行","不錯",這個用語,最初是美國鐵路扳道工人的用語。
他們當班時,如果鐵路上一切正常,就說聲All correct,即"完全正常"。由於All音接近"O",correct音近"K",為了方便,工人們就省讀"OK"來表示同樣的意思。後來,詞義不斷演變,現在不但表示"好","行","不錯"這些意思,還包含有對別人的意見表示贊同,承認的意義。在簽名中也用於表示同意,認可。
Ⅵ 時下你認為最酷的英文短語是什麼!
這里整理出來的, 都是一些很常聽到的「酷語」喔! 不過, 不管什麼語言, 都應該考慮到說話的對象、場合與時間, 有些俚語並不適合在正式的場合用。
1. kick ass 了不起
A: Wow, you fixed my computer in less than 10 minutes. You're good.
A: 哇! 你不到十分鍾就把我的計算機修好了呀! 你很棒!
B: Yep. I just kick ass.
B: 是的! 我就是厲害!
"kick ass" 除了字面上的「踢屁股」外, 還有「厲害、打敗」的意思。當「踢屁股」時, 比如某人放你鴿子, 你很氣, 就可以說: "I'm going to kick his ass." (我得踢他的屁股)。當「厲害」用時, 就像上面例句一樣用。"kick ass" 還可作「打敗某人的意思」。比如某人一向在某方面比你強, 終於有一天你比他厲害了, 你就可以說:"Hahaha...I kicked your ass."。覺得 "ass" 太難聽的人, 就用 "butt" 吧!
【不管ass,還是butt,都是屁股的意思。只不過butt比較正式一些。黛西怎麼老是寫這些東東,真是庸俗不堪,社會主義精神文明的垃圾,我們新中國的有志青年可要擦亮眼睛,辯明是非啊!呵呵呵呵... 海泓注】
2. kiss ass 拍馬屁
A: Mary, I'm sorry for cheating on you before. Do you see any chance that we can get back together?
A: Mary, 我真的很抱歉對你不忠實。你想我們可不可能重修舊好呢?
B: I don't know, but you can kiss my ass.
B: 不知道, 不過你可以親我的屁屁(巴結我)。
「親屁屁」好象不大衛生吧! 不過人家就是這樣用, 就照著「親」吧!
"cheat" 除了作弊外, 還有「不忠實」的意思。
3. XYZ 檢查你的拉鏈
Hey, man. XYZ.
老兄啊! 檢查一下你的拉煉吧。
"XYZ" 是 "Check your zipper." 的意思。在美國, 填表選項時多用打「X」來表示(台灣則用打勾表示)。這個選項的動作就叫"Check", 也就是這里的XYZ 的 X所代表的。Y 是 Your, Z 就是 Zipper 啰!
4. Hit the road. 上路了
A: Do you want to come in for some tea?
A: 你要不要進來喝個茶呢?
B: No. I'm running late. I really need to hit the road.
B: 不了。我快遲到了, 得上路了。
"running late" 是快遲到了的意思。
"Hit the road" 的 "hit" 有「去」的意思。好比某人每周去健身房三次, 你就可以說 "He hits the gym three times a week."。
"I really need to hit the road." 還可以用說成"I really need to get going."。
5. hang out 和朋友在一起
A: I don't know what is going on lately. Jack seems to curse a lot these days.
A: 不知道最近 Jack 怎麼搞的。 他經常口出惡言。
B: Well, that's just what you get from hanging out with the wrong crowd.
B: 嗯, 交錯了朋友就是這樣啊!
"hang out" 是和朋友一起做一些事。看電影、逛街、聊天都算。也不限指異*朋友。
6. click (兩人)合得來
I really like talking to her. I think we two really click.
我很喜歡和她說話。我覺得我們兩個蠻合得來的。
好玩的字吧! 不過 click 不一定只用在異*之間。朋友之間的頻率相同也可以用。
【以前只知道click the mouse,真是鼠目寸光啊! 】
7. suck 差勁 ; 糟透了
A: Guess what? We've just now missed the bus, and the next one won't come for another 45 minutes.
A: 知道嗎? 我們剛好錯過公車了; 下一班(車)還要四十五分鍾才會來。
B: That sucks.
B: 真遜!
"suck" 是「差勁」的意思。 "That movie sucks." 是「那部電影真是糟透了」的意思。
8. catch some Zs 小睡一下
A: Excuse me. I have to catch some Zs.
A: 抱歉! 我想小睡一下。
B: I thought you just woke up. Sleepy head.
B: 我以為你才剛睡醒。愛睡蟲。
漫畫里的人睡覺, 不是都畫"Z,Z,Z..."來表示嗎? 這里的 "catch some Zs" 就是這樣來的。"I have to catch some Zs." 也可以說"I have to take a nap." 或 "I need to snooze."。
【噢!真是長見識。我怎麼就沒有想到呢?真該去測測智商。】
9. take a mp 上大號
A: Would you mind closing the door? I'm trying to take a mp here.
A: 你可不可以把門關起來呢? 我正在上大號。
B: Well, learn to lock the door next time.
B: 那麼下次學會把門鎖起來吧!
"mp" 是「丟掉」的意思, 「丟」什麼不必我解釋了吧?
「我要上廁所」(大小號都一樣) 可以說 "I need to use the restroom." 或簡單地說 "I need to go."。
10. crank up 把聲量調大
A: Hey! The volume is too low. Why don't you crank it up some?
A: 嘿! 這聲量太小了。你把它調大一點好嗎?
B: No problem.
B: 沒問題。
這里的「聲量調大」也可以說 "turn it up"。意思是一樣的。
cranky 則是形容人暴躁、 易生氣。如: "Why are you so cranky today? Something happened?" 你今天怎麼這么容易生氣? 發生什麼事了嗎?
11. Shoot! 說吧!; 有屁快放!
A: I've got a question for you.
A: 我想請問你一個問題。
B: Shoot!
B: 說吧!
"Shoot!" 除了當「說吧!」外, 很多女孩子也用它來代替 "Shit!", 因為覺得後者聽起來不雅。
【啊!女孩子也說,嘻嘻.cty2k】
12. Give it a shot! 試試看!
A: It would be so cool if I can win this contest. I don't think I'm good enough, though.
A: 要是我可以贏了這項比賽的話會有多好。但我不認為自己夠好。
B: Give it a shot! You'll never know.
B: 試試看啊! 沒試怎麼會知道!
"cool" 是「很棒」的意思。 "You'll never know." 是「你不知道(會怎麼樣」的意思。
13. Got you! (騙、嚇...)到你了吧!
A: My sister just now called and said she's moving in with us.
A: 我姐姐剛剛打電話來, 說她要搬進來跟我們一塊兒住。
B: What?
B: 什麼!
A: Got you!
A: 上當了吧!
"Get you" 是 「(騙、嚇、捉弄...)到你了吧!」的意思。油畫班上有一個同學有一次想捉弄我。趁我正要把畫具收到櫃子里時忽然把櫃子的門關起來, 想趁機把我的手夾住。 結果我閃得快, 使他的惡計失敗。我便哈哈的對他說:"Haha.. You didn't get me."。
14. no-brainer 不必花腦筋的事物
A: How do you use this program? It looks quite complicated.
A: 你怎麼樣用這個軟體呢? 看起來蠻復雜的。
B: No. Looks can be deceiving. This thing is actually a no-brainer. Let me show you.
B: 不會! 外表有時是會騙人的。這個東西其實很容易(不必花腦筋的)。我玩給你看!
"Looks can be deceiving." 是「外表有時是會騙人的」的意思。也許你的競爭對方把自己抬高, 表現出很厲害的樣子, 你的朋友就可以說"Looks can be deceiving. He may be just a paper tiger."來安慰你。
【哈哈!paper tiger可是我們偉大領袖毛主席的專利啊!cty2k】
15. work one's butt off 很努力地(做一件事)
A: I can't believe all my work is gone just like this. I've worked my butt off on this all day.
A: 我不敢相信我的心血就這樣丟掉了!我今天整天辛辛苦苦都在搞這個!
B: What happened? Computer crashed?
B: 怎麼啦? 計算機當了嗎?
發現美語里不少口語都跟"butt"(屁屁)有關, 像 "kick ass"、"kiss ass"(見本單元第一頁)。 這里的"work one's butt off" 也是。還有一個"freeze one's butt off"(冷得把屁屁凍僵)也是喔!
16. push around 驅使(某人)
A. Gary, do you think you can rewrite this paper. I don't really like the topic.
A: Gary, 你想你是不是可以把這個報告重寫一遍。我並不是很喜歡那個主題。
B: Hey, I'm only trying to help you out. You shouldn't be pushing me around like this.
B: 嘿! 我是在幫你忙耶! 你不應該這樣指使我喔!
「把一個人推來推去」應該和「指使」很容易聯想吧!
17. brush off 不理; 默視
A: Have you talked to Mr. Lambert about Ian's obscene speech towards you?
A: 你跟 Lambert 先生提過 Ian 對你講的猥褻的話嗎?
B: Yes, but he brushed it off as if it were not a big deal to him.
B: 有! 但他輕輕帶過(不理), 好象他覺得那並沒有什麼!
"brush away(aside)" 也是「不理」的意思。如"He brushed aside our objection."(他無視我們的反對)。
18. boss around 頤指氣使
A: Oh! No. I've got assigned to work with Marvin for our group project.
A: 噢! 不! 我被分配跟 Marvin 一起做團體作業。
B: Ooh! I heard that he love to boss people around.
B: 唉呀! 我聽說他很愛指使人的。
"boss around" 和 "push around" 都是「指使人」的意思。說一個人愛命令人也可以說"He is very bossy."。
19. Oh, boy! 乖乖! 唉呀! 真是!
A: Guess what? We first got a flat tire, and now my cell phone is dead.
A: 你猜怎麼了? 首先我門的車爆胎了, 現在我的行動電話又沒電了。
B: Oh, boy!
B: 唉!
"flat tire" 是「爆胎」的意思」。
"Oh, boy!"是美國人用的一種感嘆表示詞句。不必問他們為什麼不說 "Oh, girl" 還是別的, 因為他們也不知道。
【可是我們有些英語學習者還就偏偏愛去鑽一些連美國人自己也說不清的用法,是不是有些聰明過頭了呢? 】
20. bound to 必定
A: Dan forgot his map?
A: Dan 忘了帶地圖了嗎?
B: Yep! And he's bound to lose his way.
B: 是的! 他鐵定要迷路了。
"bound to" 是必定的意思。 「你死定了!」就可以說 "You're bound to die."。
21. all set 都准備妥當
A. Is my car ready yet?
A: 我的車好了嗎?
B: Yep! We just need to get this paper work done and you'll be all set.
B: 是的! 我們只要把這份「文書工作」完成, 你就一切都准備妥當了!
第一次聽到老美這樣對我說時, 我才剛來美國一個月。我到修車廠提領我的車的時候, 付完修車費後, 老闆對我說"O.K. You're all set."。結果一臉狐疑地看著他說"Pardon?"。老闆便微笑的向我解釋那是表示我的車已經都修好了, 我已經一切都完成了。有時, 你到超市買東西, 買完要付帳時, 店員也會對你說"Are you all set?"。意思是問你是否想買的東西都找到了。
"paper work" 是指像「契約」、「證明」等等之類的文書表格。
22. dirty work 卑鄙的工作; 討厭的工作
A: All right. You go ahead and sign this paper and I'll do the dirty work.
A: 好吧! 你就把這個東西(紙)簽了, 剩下來的「下流的工作」就交給我了。
B: (It) Sounds good to me.
B: 聽起來不錯!
"go ahead" 在美語中很常用, 除了「進行去做」的意思, 還有其它的用法, 以後再看。
"dirty work" 在此指的是一些沒人要作的扮壞人的事。我有一個朋友遇人不淑, 室友出去旅行一去不回(並不是死掉), 卻不來電話, 也不付他該付的房租。三個月後這個朋友氣炸了, 就向房東提出要另找室友的要求, 房東就請這位朋友填一張紙, 然後把他室友的東西搬到別的地方去了。這個房東作的就是這里說的 "dirty work" 了。
23. cop 警察
A: Oh! No. My TV and stereo are gone. Who did this?
A: 噢! 不! 我的電視和音響都不見了。誰乾的?
B: I've already called 911. The cops should be here any time.
B: 我已經報警了。警察應該隨時會來。
美國人在口語里很少用 "policeman" 來表示「警察」。這里報警的電話號碼是 "911" 。有時候, 美國人也用 "911" 來表示「緊急的事」。
24. spooky 玄; 可怕的
A: I had a dream last night that Keith and I had a big argument. This morning he came in wearing the same clothes he had on in my dream!
A: 我昨晚夢見我和 Keith 大吵了一頓。 今天早上, 他穿著和他昨晚在我夢里穿的一樣的衣服進來。
B: That's spooky!
B: 真玄!
"spooky" 就是一些所謂的鬼怪、太湊巧而令人覺得「恐怖」的意思。
25. Say cheese. (照相時)笑一個
美國人照相時喜歡露齒而笑, 如果是「抿嘴」笑的話, 很可能是因為他覺得自己的牙齒長得不好或黃黃的(但不是絕對)。試著講 "cheese" 這個字, 你的牙齒是不是露出來了呢?
【哈哈!我們中國人在照相時說「茄子」大概就是源出於此吧。叫我想起了葛優。cty2k】
26. eat 使困擾; 使不開心
A. What's eating you? You've been so quiet all morning.
A: 什麼事讓你不開心呢? 你整個早上都不說話。
B: I bombed in my final exam.
B: 我的期末考砸了!
"What's eating you?"是個很常聽到的俚語。當你覺得某個人好象為某事所困擾, 以致整個人不大對勁, 就可以用這句話來問他, 到底發生什麼事了。
"bomb" 是個很有意思的字, 因為可以表示「完全的失敗」, 也可以表示「作得很好」。要看當時的情形來決定。
27. jazz (something) up 讓(一件事物)變得有趣些
A: What do you think of this?
A: 你覺得這怎麼樣?
B: It's kind of dead. Maybe you want to add more graphics to jazz it up.
B: 有點悶。也許你可以加點圖讓它變得生動有趣些。
"jazz (something) up" 是使一件原本可能有點沉悶的事變得有趣些。好比有人在一個冗長的會議里作些說些笑話之類的事, 企圖讓大家從昏迷中醒來, 就可以說"He tried to jazz the meeting up."
28. My hands are tied 我無能為力
A: Mr. Chapman, can I hand in my homework next time. I left it at home.
A: Chapman 先生, 我能不能下次再交作業呢? 我把功課忘在家裡了。
B: All of the scores must be given to the office by Friday, so you must have your homework today. It is a school rule and there is nothing I can do. My hands are tied!.
B: 所有的分數都必須在禮拜五前交到辦公室(學校), 所以你今天一定要有你的作業。這是學校的規定, 我無能為力。
"My hands are tied." 在這里並不是真正「手被綁起來」的意思, 而是指「沒辦法」的意思。好比電話響了, 你很忙不能接, 也可以說:"Can you get it? My hand are tied." (我很忙, 你能接一下嗎?" 。
29. love handles 游泳圈、中廣、胖的腰圍
A: You'd better lose those love handles fast. I'm tired of having so much to hold on to.
A: 你最好快把你的肥肚子減掉。我對老是有這么多(肥肉)在那裡讓我可以抓著覺得很煩。
B: I think I look fine, my dear.
B: 親愛的, 我覺得我看起來很好啊!
上面的對話可能是一些太太會對發福的先生所講的, 這太太也毒了點吧?
30. maxed out 累慘了
A: I'm working 70 hours this week. I'm totally maxed out.
A: 我這星期工作七十個小時。我真是完全累壞了。
B: 70 hours? I'd be dead if I worked this hard.
B: 七十個小時? 我要是工作這么多, 我一定會死了
"max" 是「極限」的意思。用"maxed out" 來表示一個人累慘了應該是蠻貼切的哦!
31. If You Snooze, You Lose! 如果你不注意, 就錯過良機了。
A: Hey! Where did all the cake go? I haven't got any of it.
A: 嘿! 蛋糕都到哪裡去了? 我一點都沒吃到。
B: There's no cake left. Your brother ate the last piece. If you snooze, you lose!
B: (蛋糕)都沒了。你弟弟(或哥哥)吃了最後一塊。你沒快點行動, 機會(此指蛋糕)就沒了啊!
有些鬧鍾上面有一個讓你可以在鬧鍾響後, 再小睡一下的按鍵。這個按鍵就叫"snooze"。所以"If you snooze, you lose." 就變成 「如果你貪睡(不注意)的話, 你就不會贏了。」的意思。念念看, 是不是押韻呢?
32. jerk one's chain 煩(某)人
A: Hey! Can I ask you another question?
A: 我可不可以再問你一個問題呢?!
B: Stop jerking my chain. I'm trying to study here.
B: 不要再煩我了! 我要念書!
"jerk one's chain" 是一個蠻有趣的俚語。假設你脖子上有條鏈子, 有個人每二分鍾就來像拉狗煉般扯一下, 你是不是覺得很煩呢? "Stop jerking my chain." 就是"Leave me alone." 不要吵我的意思。
