76．免了吧！ No need！ E.g. A: I want to make sure that I get it straight. B: There’s no need. Forget it. 注： “no need”可自成一句，也可在句中使用。如：There was no need to call the president. 77．又来了！ Again. E.g. A: Here it come again. I don’t want to deal with it. That’s typical. E.g. A: He’s not taking responsibility for this mistake. B: That’s typical. 78. 不骗你！ Not joking。 E.g. A: Believe me. I’m not joking. 79．我请客。My treat。 E.g. A: please it’s your birthday. My treat! 注： Treat也作动词用，英语如：I’ll treat you tonight. (今晚我请客。) 80．不赖嘛！ Not bad。 81．去死啦！ Go to hell！ E.g. A: you’re such a bully. Go to hell. 注：生气时在口语上诅咒别人去死前面有时会加上“you can”。 82．冷静点！ Calm down！ E.g. A: Don’t get so excited. Calm down. Keep your pants/shirt on! E.g. A: What’s the hurry? Keep your pants/shirt on! 83．我保证。 I guarantee. E.g. A: You’ll be fine. I guarantee. 84. 我发誓！ I swear！ E.g. A: It will never happen again. I swear! 注：swear还有下列用法：① I swear by my bike that I can get anywhere in town in 15minutes. (swear by… 对着…发誓，表示很有信心)。② The chief of justice swore in the president. （司法院长监督总统宣誓就职）。 ③ I’m going to swear ff candy for the next month.

A: Stop playing with the cake. Have some decency! Seriously… E.g. A: Ok stop joking around. Seriously… 注：说这两句话的情况不同，“have some decency”通常是在对方有了一些恶作剧的行为之后，用来提醒他举止庄重一点。“Seriously…”则多用来转变话题，跟中文的“说真格的……”类似，说完这句话，说者就把话题转为严肃的内容。 87．干脆点！ Make up your mind！ E.g. A: Geez we’ve been over this a thousand times. Make up your mind! 88．打扰了！ Excuse me for bothering you. 注：因为文化的差异，美国人很少有这种说法，大部分的美国人都不认为要说这么谦虚的话。 89．清醒点！ Sober up！ E.g. A: Your parents are coming. Sober up. Wake up! (Wake up and smell the coffee!) e.g. A: Wake up! You look like you had a long night. 清醒点，你看起来像是整夜没睡。 注：酒醉或吃药后，多会用“Sober up”。“Wake up！”或“Wake up and smell the coffee！”则是“脑袋里在想什么呀，醒醒吧你！”用来训斥别人面对现实。 90．别理他！ Don’t mind him. E.g. A: Don’t mind him. He’s just playing. Forget him. E.g. A: He saw me steal the diamond! B: Forget him. I’ll take care of him. 注：forget him是“别理他！”，而“别理我！”是leave me alone。 |
