暖男、打脸、懒人包、肥宅怎么说
这是个信息大爆炸的时代,为了紧随时尚的步伐,在这个大时代里的我们一不小心就成了低头族。吃饭、走路、睡觉、坐公交、挤地铁离不开手机。几天不玩手机不上网,和别人聊天时就会发现自己成了out man!暖男、照骗、打脸、懒人包、肥宅等15个流行语的英文你知道怎么说嘛?不知道的可以现学现卖,分分钟fashion起来。 1. steal the show 抢风头 也可用 steal the thunder 代替,不过steal the thunder 除了抢风头外,还有窃取他人创意或点子的意思。 Taylor Swift totally stole the show when she showed up at my birthday party. It is really unethical to steal the thunder from someone else. 2. go nuts 要疯了 工作让人抓狂、消息让人疯掉等情景都可以使用,除了go nuts也可以用 go crazy。 After two days of nonstop working, our crew members went nuts. 3. suck it up 忍着点 工作不顺利、期末考难熬?suck it up 就是在鼓励人忍着点并撑过难关。 I know the finals are tough, but you just have to suck it up and deal with it. 4. slap in the face 打脸 “打脸”一词其实很早就有了,今年特别流行,意思是找出别人的错事儿而使之丢脸出糗。 The mayor promised that he will finish his term, so it was a slap in the face when he announced to run for president. 5. flattering photo 照骗 你是否常常在脸书上看到这样的对话?路人甲:「天哪,好正喔!」本人:「没啦,这是照骗而已~」 There are lots of tutorials on the Internet that teach you how to take aflattering photo of yourself. 当本人比照片好看时,可以用 The picture/photo doesn’t flatter you. 6. for dummies 懒人包 for dummies 平常不会单独使用,通常前面都会接一个主题,像是 English for dummies、Pregnancy for dummies 等等。这个词源自于 Hungry Minds 公司出版的自学或教学参考书籍,而第一本 for dummies 是在 1991年11月出版的 DOS for dummies。此系列的特色就是深入浅出,善于用图表介绍该领域知识,与懒人包的特性相符。 If you want to study abroad, you can start by reading articles such as “Studying Abroad for Dummies." 7. you’re so full of yourself 你少臭美了 身边的人如果太自满、自我感觉过于良好时,就可以用用这句话。除了 you’re so full of yourself 也可以用 don’t be a smug. A: I am a really nice boyfriend, right? B: You’re so full of yourself. / Don’t be a smug. 8. caring/considerate guy 暖男 暖男的特色通常是体贴、顾家、会做饭、懂得照顾女朋友或老婆,总之是带给人温暖的男性。所以英文就可以用 caring或 considerate 来形容这位男性。 Does being a caring guy mean that I can finally get a girlfriend? 9. get up on the wrong side of the bed 起床气 这是用来形容一个人的行为突然令人无法接受或脾气突然变得很差,和中文的「起床气」有异曲同工之妙。 A: What’s wrong with her? She looks so mean today. B: Maybe she got up on the wrong side of the bed today. 10. fat nerd 肥宅 “肥宅”在2014年突然开始大量流行,意思就是很肥的宅男。 I think calling people fat nerds is a type of bullying. 11. negative energy 负能量 负能量爆棚,正能量满满,这些都是常挂在嘴边的话。负能量英文可以用negative energy,相反的就是正能量(positive energy)。 Don’t let other people’s negative energy bring you down. You should surround yourself with positive energy. 12. keep a low profile 低调 如果是形容一个人很低调,我们就可以用 keep a low profile。但如果是要讲某个事件是低调的,会用 low-key 来形容。 Jolin Tsai likes to keep a low profile, so she barely shows up on TV. I told my boss that I was sick, so this party is a really low-key event. 13. funny crap 废到笑 何谓废到笑?就是看到真的很废的东西,但就是会莫名戳中笑点!crap 本身有屎、垃圾的意思,也就是废物。只要在 YouTube 上面搜寻 funny crap,你一定会对这个词有深刻的体悟。 There are lots of funny crap on YouTube. 14. stunned 傻眼、惊呆了 最近时不时就会听到“我和我的小伙伴都惊呆了”。惊呆了虽然和傻眼有相似的意思,但表达上更为强烈,除了 stunned 外,还可以用 dumbfounded或 flabbergasted。 Everyone was stunned when Johnny announced he had a 9-year-old daughter. 15. that’s ridiculous 太瞎了 昨天那部电影真的是太瞎了!他这个人怎么这么瞎!发出这样的感慨时,都可以这样。 You say you have over 2,000 friends on Facebook? That’s ridiculous! It’s not like you’re famous. |
