到英國(guó)后你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),要想跟英國(guó)人正常交流,不學(xué)點(diǎn)常用的俚語(yǔ)那是萬(wàn)萬(wàn)不行的,下面這20個(gè)俚語(yǔ)可是英國(guó)人最喜歡用的正宗俚語(yǔ),快和傳實(shí)翻譯小編一起來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)下吧~
1.Mate
經(jīng)常用于親密關(guān)系。和好朋友說(shuō)話的時(shí)候可以用,類似于美國(guó)人用的“buddy,pal,dude”。例如:'Alright, mate'
2. Bugger All
相當(dāng)于“nothing at all”,只不過(guò)這個(gè)說(shuō)法更通俗一點(diǎn)。例如:'I’ve had bugger all to do all day.'
3. Knackered
用來(lái)形容一個(gè)很累,很疲憊,就是筋疲力盡的意思。例如:‘I am absolutely knackered after working all day.’
4. Gutted
這個(gè)是英國(guó)俚語(yǔ)中最悲傷的表達(dá)方式之一,表示很悲痛。例如:‘His girlfriend broke up with him. He’s absolutely gutted.’
5. Gobsmacked
難以置信,表示震驚。例如:‘I was gobsmacked when she told me she was pregnant with triplets.(三胞胎)’
6. Cock Up
犯錯(cuò),而且這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤比較嚴(yán)重。例如:‘The papers sent out to the students were all in the wrong language–it’s a real cock up.’ 也可以這么用:‘I cocked up the orders for table number four.’
7. Blinding
很棒,極好的。例如:‘That tackle(截球)from the Spanish player was blinding.’
8. Lost The Plot
這個(gè)表達(dá)方式可以表示很憤怒,如果是過(guò)去式的話,那就表示一個(gè)人很荒謬可笑。例如:‘When my girlfriend saw the mess I’d made, she lost the plot.’
9. Cheers
這個(gè)在英國(guó)不同的郡有不同的意思。在有些地方就是朋友一起聚會(huì)喝酒時(shí)干杯,但有些地方則表示感謝,就是 ‘thank you’的意思了。例如:‘Cheers for getting me that drink, Steve’.
10. Ace
表示很精彩、優(yōu)秀,也可以說(shuō)考試大獲全勝。例如:‘Jenny is ace at the lab experiments’;也可以這樣說(shuō):‘I think I aced that exam’.
11. Damp squib
字面上的意思就是“啞炮”,也就表示什么事失算落空了。例如:‘The party was a bit of a damp squib because only Richard turned up.’
12. All to pot
這個(gè)表達(dá)方式年代久遠(yuǎn),但至今仍然有人在用。表示情況失控。例如:‘The birthday party went all to pot when the clown turned up drunk and everyone was sick from that cheap barbecue stuff.’
13. The bee’s knees用來(lái)表示你很欽佩的人或事。例如:‘She thinks Barry’s the bee’s knees.’
14. Chunder這個(gè)是英國(guó)俚語(yǔ)里最不可或缺的表達(dá),不僅表示喝醉嘔吐,生病嘔吐也可以用。例如:‘I ate a bad pizza last night after too many drinks and chundered in the street.’
15. Take the piss
現(xiàn)在許多英國(guó)人很喜歡吐槽,這個(gè)俚語(yǔ)就是嘲笑,吐槽的意思啦。例如:‘The guys on TV last night were taking the piss out of the government again.’
16. Car park這個(gè)英國(guó)隨處可見(jiàn),就是美國(guó)喜歡用的parking,停車場(chǎng)的意思。例如:‘I left my car in the car park this morning.’
17. Fortnight這個(gè)用法很多英國(guó)人都會(huì)用,表示兩周十四天。例如:‘I’m going away for a fortnight to Egypt for my summer holiday.’
18. Tosh表示垃圾或廢話。例如:‘That’s a load of tosh about what happened last night’還可以說(shuō):‘Don’t talk tosh.’
