2008-12-26美語挺多沒見過的說法，別錯過 - [轉 英語]
當別人在你旁邊羅嗦個沒完，你煩透了，說"You are so boring ."(你真煩！)。"Shut up !"（閉嘴！）自然沒錯，可人家受得了嗎？不如來一句"Oh, come on .Give me a break !" (幫幫忙，讓我歇歇吧！)這多地道、多幽默。
要想說人“氣色好”。"You look fine !"當然不錯，可如果你說"You’re in the pink !"就妙得多了，實際上，在英語口語中，表示顏色的詞用起來非常形象生動。
“他精力充沛”美國人說："He is bouncy."而不說"He is energetic."牢記一些日常對話中的活句式是你一把必備的鑰匙。如：久仰，"I get mind of you."比"I heard a lot about you."輕松得多。
代問他人好當然能用"Please remember me to your sister ." 或"Please give my best wishes to your father "不過，若是很好的朋友，何不說，"Please give my love to Jim."
在中國可不能隨便說“我想你”，然而，當和西方人分手時說"I will miss you ."要比說"Good-bye"或"See you soon"有趣得多，不妨一試。
有人開會遲到了，你若對他說"You are late ."聽起來象是廢話，若說"Did you get lost ?"則更能讓他歉然，可別說成"Get lost!"那可是讓人滾蛋的意思。
別人征求你的意見，問能否開窗戶等，你要說"You can do that ."就有點土了，用一句"Do you have the time? "實際上，問他人的姓名，地址都可以這麼用："May I have you name?"要比"What’s your name ? "禮貌得多，不過警察例外。
別人問你不願公開的問題，切勿用"It’s my secret,Don’t ask such a personal question ."回答，一來顯得你沒有個性，二來也讓對方尷尬。你可以說"I would rather not say ."（還是別說了吧！）。
有時候，你想說什麼，可說是想不起來，你可以說"Well …""Let me see""Just a moment "或"It’s on the tip of my tongue."等，想比之下，最後一個句型是最地道的。
交談時，你可能會轉換話題，不要只說"By the way."實際上，"To change the subject""Before I forget""While I remember""Mind you"都是既地道有受歡迎的表達。
遇到你不懂的問題時可別不懂裝懂，"I know"可能是中國人用得最多，而美國人最不能接受的一句話。當一美國教師向你解釋某個問題時，你如果連說兩遍"I know"我敢保證，他不會再跟你說什麼了。用"I got it "就順耳得多，要是不懂就說"I’m not clear about it ."不過如果你會說"It’s past my understanding"或"It’s beyond me ."你的教師定會驚訝不已的。
要想將地道習語熟練地運用於口語，下面內容，不可不讀：
☆ a black sheep 敗家子 綿羊一般為白色，一旦成了黑色的綿羊，一定是個“敗類”。
Eric is a black sheep ,splashing one million dollars in a few years .
艾瑞克是個敗家子，幾年就揮霍了一百萬美金。
☆ A rough diamond 內秀外粗的人 Rough diamond 指“沒加工的鑽石”，用來指內秀外粗的人，真是妙語！ The guy is really a rough diamond , and he can get everything right ,although he is a little bit careless .
這家夥真的是個外粗內秀的人，他什麼都能搞定，雖然他有點大大咧咧的。
☆ Be level-headed (calm and relaxed) 頭腦冷靜的人 可別以為 level-headed 是“小平頭”，“平頭”的英語說法是“crew cut”,他留了個平頭——He wears his hair in a crew cut .
My boss ,John Smith ,is the most level –headed man I’ve ever known .
我的老板約翰.史密斯是我見過的頭腦最冷靜的人。
☆ A greaseball (greasy guy ) 油腔滑調的人，“老油條” Grease 油脂的意思，greaseball 的意思是塗滿油脂的球，專指那些油腔滑調的人，這類人近似於我們常說的“嘴太貧”的人。
Mary’s boyfriend is such a greaseball , I don’t know why she is so crazy about him .
瑪麗的男友是個油腔滑調的家夥，我不明白為什麼她如此地迷戀他。
☆ Weigh on one’s mind 心事重重
Do you know what has happened to her recently? She seems to have something that weighs heavily on her mind these days.
你知道她最近發生了什麼事嗎？她看起來心事很重。
☆ Be green-eyed (be jealousy) 嫉妒的“紅眼病” 源自莎士比亞名劇《奧賽羅》第3幕第3場中的臺詞“O! be ware , my lord ,of jealousy;/It’s the green-eyed monster… …“ 中國人嫉妒時，是“紅眼病”，英美國家的人則“綠了眼”，有意思。在美國，有時直接用green表示嫉妒。
When I got the well-paid job in a foreign company , my friends were somewhat green with envy .
當我在一家外企找了份收入豐厚的工作時，我的朋友都有點嫉妒我。
☆ Your doggy looks quite lovely , doesn’t he ? （你的狗寶寶看上去真可愛！）
☆ Excuse me ,but your blue coat is pretty beautiful ,Where did you buy it ? (打擾你了。你的藍上衣真是漂亮，哪兒買的？) 在同外國人士交往過程中，你要注意別人的外表是否有了大的變化或添了新的裝飾，如新發型、新衣服、首飾等。然後加以適當的贊美,但無須過分,否則就有虛情假意之嫌.即便是對方外觀沒有大的改觀，但比平時略顯精神，你也可以說， “Ben, you look very good today.”或Ben ,you’re looking energetic these days .” (本，你近來顯得活力十足。)
在美國，對別人新添置的物品都要習慣地加以贊美，如
☆ “Hey, I’m crazy about your new bicycle.” (嘿，我真喜歡你的新自行車。)
☆ “Your new dress has brilliant color!” (你的新衣服顏色真鮮豔！)
如果被邀請去參觀朋友的住宅、辦公室或公司，對其加以贊美就是比不可少的了。
☆ “I can’t imagine you have such a splendid house !” (真不敢相信你竟有這麼豪華的房子。)
☆ “How nice your office looks “ （你的辦公室看上去不錯。）
要知道，沒人不愛聽這些。
不過在吃飯時，外國人對你菜肴的贊美往往只是禮貌，即使他們吃不慣，他們也會說“The dish is delicious ”可不要拿出中國人的豪爽，沒完沒了給他夾菜，浪費了不說，還常常弄得對方難堪。
表達贊美時需要注意以下情況：
1.贊美一兩句即可，當別人表示感謝之後就可打住，或進入別的話題。
2.若別人向你展示新買的衣服等，即便你對它感覺不如意，也要盡量發現你感興趣的地方，如顏色、樣式等加以贊美。
3.中國人很少當面誇贊別人的妻子長得如何漂亮，而在西方文化中， 對別人妻子的贊美是活躍氣氛並且很受歡迎的。不過，贊美之後，你的眼睛久久不能從那女士的臉上挪開，可就另當別論了。
4.贊美別人的首飾或衣服之後不要畫蛇添足， 問她一句，“It must be very expensive. How much is it?”（這一定很貴吧。多少錢啊？）
5.無論別人怎樣贊美你，你只要一句“Thanks a lot.”就足以達到交流的效果，無須中國式的謙虛，“No, No”，會讓贊美你的人莫明其妙，甚至認為你懷疑他的審美觀有問題。
6.美國老師上課時大多慈悲為懷，只要學生開口，無論怎樣信口開河或者牛頭不對馬嘴，老師都會說“Good job!”；“Very nice!”；“Ok, you have a creative answer”；“What an original opinion!”。這既能鼓勵學生，又能激發學生參與的積極性。這可是中國老師不妨學學的地方。
7.在英美國家的各種聚會上，女士們常誇贊自己的丈夫有能力，誇贊自己的孩子如何聰明可愛；男士們也常誇贊自己的妻子溫柔可人，誇贊自己的老板如何地重用自己，這既能活躍氣氛，又能盡顯自己人性美的一部分。若有機會你參加外國人的ball（舞會），你也不妨收起你的謙虛，將你的贊美適時適度地表達出來。
break one's heart
由break 和beart構成的詞很多，如：hearbreak(極度傷心); hearbreaking(使心碎的)，heat-broken(極度傷心的) ，大家可能注意到都是和"傷心"有關，break one's heat 就是指傷透某人的心。
實戰運用：
A：You look so sad ! what happened B: I broke up with my girl friend yesterday A: Did you ? I had the same experience ,It almost broke my heart . B : But luckily you're all right now .
brush to one side
brush的意思是"推、拂"從字面上看，該習語的意思是："把… …拂到一邊去，"，由此引申為"不屑一顧"
實戰運用：
A : Helen's become so proud since she married that rich man . B : I once talked with her ,but she brushed all my suggestion to one side . A : She'll ask for it . B: Sure .
butt in
butt 有"沖、撞、冒冒失失地開"的意思。在美國俚語中，butt in 指"幹涉、插嘴"。
實戰運用：
A: Don't butt in ,You're still wet behind the ears You know nothing about our business. B: Why don't you let me air my opinions ? I have no say in this house . A : What do you know about our business ? Your mum and I have been in trouble . B: That's why I wanted to know what the trouble is I might be of some help .
by the way
這句話很簡單,也很常用：順便問一下
實戰運用：
A：Do you often keep in touch with Jane ? B: Yeah ,we call each other if we have time . A: I haven't seen her for a long time B :She changes a lot . A: I saw her last night ,By the way ,do you know ,she's married ? B: Yea ,with Johnson . A: It's a little bit surprising ,isn't it ? B: Yes ,indeed .

2008-12-26美語挺多沒見過的說法，別錯過 - [轉 英語]
當別人在你旁邊羅嗦個沒完，你煩透了，說"You are so boring ."(你真煩！)。"Shut up !"（閉嘴！）自然沒錯，可人家受得了嗎？不如來一句"Oh, come on .Give me a break !" (幫幫忙，讓我歇歇吧！)這多地道、多幽默。
要想說人“氣色好”。"You look fine !"當然不錯，可如果你說"You’re in the pink !"就妙得多了，實際上，在英語口語中，表示顏色的詞用起來非常形象生動。
“他精力充沛”美國人說："He is bouncy."而不說"He is energetic."牢記一些日常對話中的活句式是你一把必備的鑰匙。如：久仰，"I get mind of you."比"I heard a lot about you."輕松得多。
代問他人好當然能用"Please remember me to your sister ." 或"Please give my best wishes to your father "不過，若是很好的朋友，何不說，"Please give my love to Jim."
在中國可不能隨便說“我想你”，然而，當和西方人分手時說"I will miss you ."要比說"Good-bye"或"See you soon"有趣得多，不妨一試。
有人開會遲到了，你若對他說"You are late ."聽起來象是廢話，若說"Did you get lost ?"則更能讓他歉然，可別說成"Get lost!"那可是讓人滾蛋的意思。
別人征求你的意見，問能否開窗戶等，你要說"You can do that ."就有點土了，用一句"Do you have the time? "實際上，問他人的姓名，地址都可以這麼用："May I have you name?"要比"What’s your name ? "禮貌得多，不過警察例外。
別人問你不願公開的問題，切勿用"It’s my secret,Don’t ask such a personal question ."回答，一來顯得你沒有個性，二來也讓對方尷尬。你可以說"I would rather not say ."（還是別說了吧！）。
有時候，你想說什麼，可說是想不起來，你可以說"Well …""Let me see""Just a moment "或"It’s on the tip of my tongue."等，想比之下，最後一個句型是最地道的。
交談時，你可能會轉換話題，不要只說"By the way."實際上，"To change the subject""Before I forget""While I remember""Mind you"都是既地道有受歡迎的表達。
遇到你不懂的問題時可別不懂裝懂，"I know"可能是中國人用得最多，而美國人最不能接受的一句話。當一美國教師向你解釋某個問題時，你如果連說兩遍"I know"我敢保證，他不會再跟你說什麼了。用"I got it "就順耳得多，要是不懂就說"I’m not clear about it ."不過如果你會說"It’s past my understanding"或"It’s beyond me ."你的教師定會驚訝不已的。
要想將地道習語熟練地運用於口語，下面內容，不可不讀：
☆ a black sheep 敗家子 綿羊一般為白色，一旦成了黑色的綿羊，一定是個“敗類”。
Eric is a black sheep ,splashing one million dollars in a few years .
艾瑞克是個敗家子，幾年就揮霍了一百萬美金。
☆ A rough diamond 內秀外粗的人 Rough diamond 指“沒加工的鑽石”，用來指內秀外粗的人，真是妙語！ The guy is really a rough diamond , and he can get everything right ,although he is a little bit careless .
這家夥真的是個外粗內秀的人，他什麼都能搞定，雖然他有點大大咧咧的。
☆ Be level-headed (calm and relaxed) 頭腦冷靜的人 可別以為 level-headed 是“小平頭”，“平頭”的英語說法是“crew cut”,他留了個平頭——He wears his hair in a crew cut .
My boss ,John Smith ,is the most level –headed man I’ve ever known .
我的老板約翰.史密斯是我見過的頭腦最冷靜的人。
☆ A greaseball (greasy guy ) 油腔滑調的人，“老油條” Grease 油脂的意思，greaseball 的意思是塗滿油脂的球，專指那些油腔滑調的人，這類人近似於我們常說的“嘴太貧”的人。
Mary’s boyfriend is such a greaseball , I don’t know why she is so crazy about him .
瑪麗的男友是個油腔滑調的家夥，我不明白為什麼她如此地迷戀他。
☆ Weigh on one’s mind 心事重重
Do you know what has happened to her recently? She seems to have something that weighs heavily on her mind these days.
你知道她最近發生了什麼事嗎？她看起來心事很重。
☆ Be green-eyed (be jealousy) 嫉妒的“紅眼病” 源自莎士比亞名劇《奧賽羅》第3幕第3場中的臺詞“O! be ware , my lord ,of jealousy;/It’s the green-eyed monster… …“ 中國人嫉妒時，是“紅眼病”，英美國家的人則“綠了眼”，有意思。在美國，有時直接用green表示嫉妒。
When I got the well-paid job in a foreign company , my friends were somewhat green with envy .
當我在一家外企找了份收入豐厚的工作時，我的朋友都有點嫉妒我。
☆ Your doggy looks quite lovely , doesn’t he ? （你的狗寶寶看上去真可愛！）
☆ Excuse me ,but your blue coat is pretty beautiful ,Where did you buy it ? (打擾你了。你的藍上衣真是漂亮，哪兒買的？) 在同外國人士交往過程中，你要注意別人的外表是否有了大的變化或添了新的裝飾，如新發型、新衣服、首飾等。然後加以適當的贊美,但無須過分,否則就有虛情假意之嫌.即便是對方外觀沒有大的改觀，但比平時略顯精神，你也可以說， “Ben, you look very good today.”或Ben ,you’re looking energetic these days .” (本，你近來顯得活力十足。)
在美國，對別人新添置的物品都要習慣地加以贊美，如
☆ “Hey, I’m crazy about your new bicycle.” (嘿，我真喜歡你的新自行車。)
☆ “Your new dress has brilliant color!” (你的新衣服顏色真鮮豔！)
如果被邀請去參觀朋友的住宅、辦公室或公司，對其加以贊美就是比不可少的了。
☆ “I can’t imagine you have such a splendid house !” (真不敢相信你竟有這麼豪華的房子。)
☆ “How nice your office looks “ （你的辦公室看上去不錯。）
要知道，沒人不愛聽這些。
不過在吃飯時，外國人對你菜肴的贊美往往只是禮貌，即使他們吃不慣，他們也會說“The dish is delicious ”可不要拿出中國人的豪爽，沒完沒了給他夾菜，浪費了不說，還常常弄得對方難堪。
表達贊美時需要注意以下情況：
1.贊美一兩句即可，當別人表示感謝之後就可打住，或進入別的話題。
2.若別人向你展示新買的衣服等，即便你對它感覺不如意，也要盡量發現你感興趣的地方，如顏色、樣式等加以贊美。
3.中國人很少當面誇贊別人的妻子長得如何漂亮，而在西方文化中， 對別人妻子的贊美是活躍氣氛並且很受歡迎的。不過，贊美之後，你的眼睛久久不能從那女士的臉上挪開，可就另當別論了。
4.贊美別人的首飾或衣服之後不要畫蛇添足， 問她一句，“It must be very expensive. How much is it?”（這一定很貴吧。多少錢啊？）
5.無論別人怎樣贊美你，你只要一句“Thanks a lot.”就足以達到交流的效果，無須中國式的謙虛，“No, No”，會讓贊美你的人莫明其妙，甚至認為你懷疑他的審美觀有問題。
6.美國老師上課時大多慈悲為懷，只要學生開口，無論怎樣信口開河或者牛頭不對馬嘴，老師都會說“Good job!”；“Very nice!”；“Ok, you have a creative answer”；“What an original opinion!”。這既能鼓勵學生，又能激發學生參與的積極性。這可是中國老師不妨學學的地方。
7.在英美國家的各種聚會上，女士們常誇贊自己的丈夫有能力，誇贊自己的孩子如何聰明可愛；男士們也常誇贊自己的妻子溫柔可人，誇贊自己的老板如何地重用自己，這既能活躍氣氛，又能盡顯自己人性美的一部分。若有機會你參加外國人的ball（舞會），你也不妨收起你的謙虛，將你的贊美適時適度地表達出來。
break one's heart
由break 和beart構成的詞很多，如：hearbreak(極度傷心); hearbreaking(使心碎的)，heat-broken(極度傷心的) ，大家可能注意到都是和"傷心"有關，break one's heat 就是指傷透某人的心。
實戰運用：
A：You look so sad ! what happened B: I broke up with my girl friend yesterday A: Did you ? I had the same experience ,It almost broke my heart . B : But luckily you're all right now .
brush to one side
brush的意思是"推、拂"從字面上看，該習語的意思是："把… …拂到一邊去，"，由此引申為"不屑一顧"
實戰運用：
A : Helen's become so proud since she married that rich man . B : I once talked with her ,but she brushed all my suggestion to one side . A : She'll ask for it . B: Sure .
butt in
butt 有"沖、撞、冒冒失失地開"的意思。在美國俚語中，butt in 指"幹涉、插嘴"。
實戰運用：
A: Don't butt in ,You're still wet behind the ears You know nothing about our business. B: Why don't you let me air my opinions ? I have no say in this house . A : What do you know about our business ? Your mum and I have been in trouble . B: That's why I wanted to know what the trouble is I might be of some help .
by the way
這句話很簡單,也很常用：順便問一下
實戰運用：
A：Do you often keep in touch with Jane ? B: Yeah ,we call each other if we have time . A: I haven't seen her for a long time B :She changes a lot . A: I saw her last night ,By the way ,do you know ,she's married ? B: Yea ,with Johnson . A: It's a little bit surprising ,isn't it ? B: Yes ,indeed .
