英語常用俚語

1、俚語Are you trippin' ？ trippin' （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 gethigh on drug such as LSD）,也就是說：要不是受到藥、酒的影響，你為什顯得這樣古怪呢？（Are you under any influence of drug or alcoholic? Why are you so crazy andbizarre?） 所以可

2、以說：They are trippin'. （ = tripping ）She （he） is trippin'.He is a nerd。nerd 是指一些年輕人，每天只懂讀書、考生，但對(duì)生活上的其他事情，都很生疏Catch you later!這是年輕人說再會(huì)的口語。 （a form to say“gocbye”也就是說：現(xiàn)在沒有時(shí)間與你交談，以接再談吧！有時(shí)年輕小伙子也用：I am off.1. You bet. 你說的沒錯(cuò).2. There you go. 就這樣了.3. Here you go. 干的好 .5. Oh! Boy! 天啊 .6. Holy cow! 不會(huì)

3、吧 ! （哇賽 ）!另外還有一個(gè)比較少見的用法, "Holy mackerel!" （ 圣青花魚!） 也有人會(huì)用7. Kind of. 是有那么一點(diǎn), （還好啦!）Kind of 和 Sort of 是用來表示有那么一點(diǎn)點(diǎn), 但不是很強(qiáng)烈. 例如別人問, "Do you likenoodles?" （你喜歡面食嗎?）就可以答, "Kind of." 或是 , "Sort of."8. The thing is, we need to talk. 重點(diǎn)是 , 我們必須談?wù)?在老美的口語中, thing 就是代表&qu

4、ot;重點(diǎn)"的意思, 相當(dāng)于 key point. 所以老美常把, "Thething is: blah,blah, blah." 掛在嘴邊, 或是有人會(huì)說, "Here is the thing." （ 重點(diǎn)來了.） 例如 ,"I really like that new house, but the thing is, how much is it?" （ 我很喜歡那棟新房子, 但重點(diǎn)是 , 要多少錢啊?）9. Duh. 廢話 .很多人會(huì)把duh 和 bull （or bull*） 這兩個(gè)用法給搞混, 其實(shí) duh 是翻

5、成廢話, 而 bull翻成胡說八道. 一般而言, Duh 指的是很顯而易見的事情, 而 bull 指的是完全錯(cuò)誤的事情 . 例如你問一個(gè)瑞士人, "Do you like chocolate?"" （ 你喜歡巧克力嗎?） 那他可能就會(huì)跟你說, "Duh." 因?yàn)檫@種問題太白爛了, 還有瑞士人不喜歡巧克力的嗎? 可是你要是問他 , "You must be very fat." （ 那你一定很胖了.） 他就會(huì)說, "That's bull." （ 真是胡說八道 ） 因?yàn)閻鄢郧煽肆Φ娜艘膊灰欢ň秃芘?

6、 你說是嗎?1. Did you believe in the tooth fairy when you were a kid? 你小時(shí)候相不相信牙仙子? 老美有一個(gè)信仰, 小孩子換牙時(shí), 父母會(huì)告訴他把牙齒用信封裝好, 放在枕頭下, 早上起來時(shí)牙仙子會(huì)用錢跟他換牙齒，這錢當(dāng)然是父母給的，用來鼓勵(lì)小孩子拔牙，相不相信, tooth fairy在美國(guó)真的是人盡皆知喔！2. So that's what it boils down to.原來是這樣啊! Boil down to 可以當(dāng)成一句片語來看, 指的就是煮湯時(shí)一直煮煮到水乾了，就可以看到底下的東西是什么.有點(diǎn)中文中水落石出的味道.例

7、如你們二人在討論功課，討論討論，好不容易終于把這個(gè)問題給弄懂了，這時(shí)你就可以松一 口氣道，So that's what it boils down to.或者有時(shí)候二個(gè)人在討論問題 ， 講了半天最后你要下結(jié)論了 ，你就可以說，So that's what it boils down to（后面接你的 結(jié)論）有點(diǎn)像是，My point is .（我的重點(diǎn)是）這樣的用法.3. Just a spur of the moment.一時(shí)興起.例如別人問你，為什么買這件衣服啊，你說 Just a spur of the moment,意思就是說，我是一時(shí)興起，可能本來沒有要買的，可是 剛

8、好看到蠻不錯(cuò)的，就買了 ！還有一句It's just on a whim 跟Just a spur of the moment差不多，都是說你突然 想到什么事就去做了 .好比說有一次我同學(xué)突然說他想開車出去兜風(fēng)，我問他你為什么要去兜風(fēng) 他就回答It's just on a whim.就是心血來潮，也沒什么別的理由.4. I am in seventh heaven.我快樂的不得了 .這是一句所謂的 cliche,就是老美都知道， 平常也常用到的一些成語，不妨把它記下來，下次很高興時(shí)就可以拿出來用.第一次聽 老美用是有一次去鄉(xiāng)下人家作客，他們家的狗看到我很高興在那里跳啊跳的，那個(gè)

9、主人就說，Oh, She is in seventh heaven!又例如你得了一個(gè)大獎(jiǎng)，人家問你得獎(jiǎng)的感言， 你就可以說 ,I am so happy. I am in seventh heaven now.5. He's so anal.他是個(gè)吹毛求疵過度的人.Anal這個(gè)字原指直腸，所以這算是一句罵人 的話.英文形容吹毛求是用picky這個(gè)字，但picky只限于自己，不會(huì)去影響到別人，而anal就不是了，它是picky過度，到了會(huì)影響他人的程度.如潔癖就是anal的一種, 因?yàn)樗约禾珢矍?，卻造成別人生活的不便，這種人就可以用anal來形容.不過這 句話好像不是什么好話，沒事不

10、要亂用.通常老美都是拿這句話來罵教授的.6. I will take a rain check.這次不去，下次再去.相不相信，你這樣跟老美講 ,老美 會(huì)覺得你的英文很好！這個(gè)典故出自Sears在大拍賣時(shí)，若是該項(xiàng)商品已經(jīng)售完，他們 就會(huì)給你一張rain check,讓你下次再來時(shí)可以以同樣價(jià)錢購(gòu)買該樣商品.同樣的情況也常見于球賽，若因雨無法比賽，則他們會(huì)給你一張rain check,把你的票保留到下一 場(chǎng).所以rain check是真有其物，但也有其它引申出來的意思.一般在曰常對(duì)話中若有人提到I will take a rain check,他實(shí)際上指的是，"這次不想去，下次再去”.

11、記得有一次我問老美，"How do you celebrate your Valentine's Day with your wife?",他就回答："I will take a rain check!"意思就是他這次沒什么活動(dòng)，以后再說吧！7. Go check if other people have done that already so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. 去查查看別人做過沒有，這樣你就不會(huì)作白功了 .相信每個(gè)做研究生的這句話都很熟 吧，你的指導(dǎo)教授說不定也跟你說過這句話呢

12、？注意后面的reinvent the wheel是固定用法，不能用其他的詞來代替.8. That's a rip-off. I want my money back.真是坑人，我要把我的錢要回來.Rip-off 就 是說你去買東西買貴了 ，有點(diǎn)被騙的感覺.另外，這句也可以說成,I am ripped-off.就 是說，我被坑了.9. Over my dead body. 你讓我死了算了. 這句話用在別人叫你去做一件事, 而你認(rèn)為絕無可能. 例如 , 別人叫你去追某只恐龍, 你說可以說Over my dead body. 我寧死也不去追她. 同樣的 , Over my dead body

13、 也就等于never.10. Just in case someone steals it!以防萬一有人偷走它 .Just in case意思為以防萬一.像 有人怕自己的腳踏車被偷, 走的時(shí)候就把輪子順便給拆走, 你問他 Why bother? 他就可能回答說，Just in case someone steals it!又例如說晴天帶把傘出門，你就可以說just in case. 預(yù)防萬一下雨了.1.1 t's long time coming. 說某人或事情等了很久才來2。it's high stakes 生死關(guān)頭3。 what do you do for a living

14、? 你作什么工作?4。 untill your heart's content 直到你滿意為止5。 there's no point in doing it 做此事實(shí)無必要6。 college material 上大學(xué)的料7。 what you don't know won't hurt you 你不知道就不會(huì)傷害你8。 I've told you to hold my phone 我已告訴你我不接任何電話9。 I can drop a good word for you 我可為你說句好話10。 。 smart move 聰明之舉11。 。 I am j

15、ust a little on edge 我只是有點(diǎn)緊張12。cut somebody some slack放某人一馬13。she always stands me up她總是放我鴿子14。 HE is very clockwork 他很守時(shí)15。 play one's part 盡某人的本分16。 he will never let us dowm 他從不讓我們失望17。put yourself in someone's shoes站在別人的角度去想一想18。 HOP IN/HOP OUT 一種上下某種交通工具非?？?，迅速的動(dòng)作，比如從窗而入19。Thanks ,you ar

16、e sweet謝謝，你人真好20。 have it with sb/sth 手夠了某人、事eg.i really have it with tomAfter you. 你先請(qǐng)。這是一句很常用的客套話，在進(jìn)出門,上車得場(chǎng)合你都可以表現(xiàn)一下。（好象現(xiàn)在女士不愿意你這么做，特別是那些女權(quán)主義者，我還記得這么一段話：一個(gè)女士對(duì)一個(gè)讓她先行的男士說：you do this because i am a woman那個(gè)男士回答說：i do thisLet's face it. 面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)吧。常表明說話人不愿意逃避困難的現(xiàn)狀。參考例句：I knowit's a difficult situat

17、ion. Let's face it, OK? 很棒啊，年輕人犯錯(cuò)誤，上帝都會(huì)原諒，remember?且是犯了錯(cuò)誤，你必須面對(duì)他，let's face it,或者是：let's face the music.Let's get started.咱們開始干吧。勸導(dǎo)別人時(shí)說： Don't just talk. Let's get started.I'm really dead.我真要累死了。坦誠(chéng)自己的感受時(shí)說： After all that work, I ' m really dead.I've done my best.我

18、已盡力了。這句話，很有用，失敗有時(shí)難免，但是你要是可以 說，i've done my best. or i spare no efforts.就不必遺憾，畢竟， man supposes, god disposes.Is that so?真是那樣嗎？常用在一個(gè)人聽了一件事后表示驚訝、懷疑。Don't play games with me! 別跟我?；ㄕ?！I don't know for sure. 我不確切知道。Stranger：Could you tell me how to get to the townhall?Tom: I don't know for

19、sure. Maybe you could ask the policeman over there.I'm not going to kid you. 我不是跟你開玩笑的。Karin： You quit the job? You arekidding.Jack: I'm not going to kid you. I'm serious.That's something. 太好了，太棒了。A: I'm granted a full scholarship for this semester.B:Congratulations. That's s

22、 never liked it anyway. 我一直不太喜歡這東西。當(dāng)朋友或同事不小心摔壞你的東西時(shí)就可以用上這句話給他一個(gè)臺(tái)階，打破尷尬局面：Oh, don't worry. I'm thinking ofbuying a new one. I never liked it anyway.That depends看情況再說。(on sth)例：I may go to the airport to meet her. But thatdepends.Congratulations.恭喜你，祝賀你。Thanks anyway.無論如何我還是得謝謝你。當(dāng)別人盡力要幫助你卻沒幫成時(shí)

23、，你就可 以用這個(gè)短語表示謝意。It's a deal.一言為定 Harry : Haven't seen you for ages. Let's have a get-together next week.Jenny: It's a deal 電影里經(jīng)常聽到，it's a deal, that is a good deal 或是兩個(gè)人打算達(dá) 成某個(gè)協(xié)議或是做成某個(gè)生意會(huì)說：deal? deal!1 .a buyer ' s marketf市場(chǎng)market在這里是 行情”的意思。買方市場(chǎng)是有利于購(gòu)買者的行情。與之相對(duì)的是aseller '

25、country 來指 “距離之遠(yuǎn)”。A: Is the house close to the central city? 那房子*著市中心嗎？B: It is a country mile from the Central Park. But it won ' t be a problem since you drive.中央公園遠(yuǎn)著呢?？杉热荒汩_車這就不成問題了。A: The distance is not really a problem. The real problem is whether I can afford it. 遠(yuǎn)近到 不是問題，問題是我是不是買得起。B: Don

26、 ' t worry about it.

Young people al

27、l seems to be crazy about such things. 這對(duì)年輕來說沒什么不正常的。年輕人看起來對(duì)這些東西都非常感興趣。A: The real problem is that he' s suing my moneyfobthemE 我的錢去買的呀。B: He ' s your son, after all.

30、來，或心里揣著小鹿等待著明天客戶的回函不要緊，至少還有今天可以揮霍。今朝有酒今朝醉，何必管他是與非。繁忙的生活中偷得一次輕松實(shí)在是件不容易的事。I'll just do my job, and I think that counts. 我會(huì)做好我的那份工作，這就夠了。用處：如果你是個(gè)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)穩(wěn)重的人，那么這句話就是為你說的了。踏踏實(shí)實(shí)干好自己的本職工作，這就夠了。但如果你不幸不是，這句話就用在你討厭你的上司的情況下。這是再好不過的推托之辭，消極地完成了任務(wù)，OK;再想叫我做些別的，不如做夢(mèng)去來得爽快。Whatever you want, you can have it.你想要什么就有什么。

31、用處：絕對(duì)不是孩子爹媽的語氣，要不孩子非慣壞不可。老板獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)下屬的時(shí)候，這一招比較有用，前提是確定下屬不會(huì)漫天要價(jià)，把公司都要垮了。最好別對(duì)GF/BF 說，尤其你一向一言九鼎，很可能要走的是你的自由。Freedom！We need shock value我們要能讓人眼前一亮的東西。用處：想象力，或者叫創(chuàng)意，是當(dāng)今年輕一代最看重的品質(zhì)之一，其上體現(xiàn)了與眾不同的個(gè)人價(jià)值。無論是學(xué)生組織晚會(huì)，還是給客戶提供方案，亮點(diǎn)都必不可少，往往是出奇制勝的法寶。能震人的就是有價(jià)值的。這句話就是這個(gè)意思。The team is putting on a happy face now.這支隊(duì)伍正在強(qiáng)顏歡笑。用處：激烈

33、ck as well as she can. 她不把 Rick 用夠了是不會(huì)罷手的。用處：跟上一句類似，把人當(dāng)作工具用。這個(gè)看上去難記的大詞其實(shí)很管用，操作機(jī)器和系統(tǒng)等等都可以直接套。記住，一定要用well 來表示用夠，不要因?yàn)槭菈氖戮腿フ?“壞 ”詞，那是中國(guó)人的思維，老外理解不了。We need to get smart on the place在這兒我們得放聰明點(diǎn)。用處：不管商場(chǎng)還是其它什 么場(chǎng)，人際關(guān)系總無處不在。江湖嘛，只除非沒了人才會(huì)消失。告誡自己不要上當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候就這么說。當(dāng)然，也可以截取中間的詞來告誡別人：放聰明點(diǎn)，別惹我。I'm feeling good. I think

34、 it's time to gas up the jet. 我感覺很棒。是時(shí)候沖刺了。用處：在比賽或面試之前用來刺激對(duì)手，鼓舞士氣。面對(duì)即將到來的緊張，自信永遠(yuǎn)是成功的有效武器。What else could we have done better?我們已經(jīng)盡了最大努力了。用處：想這么說時(shí)不 用總照直翻譯了，用個(gè)反問句，更強(qiáng)烈地表示自己已經(jīng)盡力，即使后果不盡如人意也沒什么好抱怨的了。尤其適用于考試掛掉的情況，不過前提是你真的努了力，至少看上去如此。這樣你得到的回答不會(huì)是一堆你就應(yīng)該”的數(shù)落。1、真是稀客。You are really a rare visitor.2、你說的頭頭是道。W
