不可不学的十句英语

   

1 . What the f\*\*k is going on? (到底他 XX 的怎么回事 ? )
   通常此话出于黑人之口,且口气最宜为疑惑,不解,愤怒等等。
   若是白人则多数时候会说 -What the hell is going on?
   意义相同而适用于更多场合。
   说此话之人身份通常为上级,且相处较久。

2 . You son of *****! (你个狗娘养的!)
   令人意外的是,最爱说这句话的往往是女性。
   越高贵,越端庄的女性越容易在压力达到一定值时便会脱口而出。
   万万不要和有文化的 MM 顶嘴,否则被骂了还以为受表扬了呢!

3 . All rise! (全体起立!)
   国产英语老师最误人子弟的就是口语太差,爱说想当然口语。
   从小学到高中英语课代表一直喊的是 -Stand up!
   当然没什么不可以,但为什么不说标准的话呢?就象我们朗读中文时说普通话一样!

4 . It's bullshit! (胡说八道!屁话!)
   这句话一旦学会,包你用的乐不思蜀。
   用途太广泛啦!
   最绝是和老妈抬杠时搬出来,用你的眼睛直视她,以忏悔的口气说出 .
   什么?你老妈是外交官?
   就当我没说过!不过 ……
   你妈贵姓?

5. damn it! (可恶!)
   此句往往从某个孤胆英雄的嘴中冒出,发音要轻,然口气要重!
   此英雄往往正面临生死抉择,例如是先剪蓝线还是先剪红线等。
   说时要有壮士一去不复返的气势!
   此句适合用在被 MM 拒绝时 , 向 MM 的背影说出!
   万万不可忘记要配合以右手中指的朝天一刺!

6 . It's none of your business! (关你屁事!)
   此句已接近经典!
   当你在网上浏览不健康网站遭到网吧老板的劝阻时,
   它往往能建下奇功!

7 . Come on!
   此句因拥有太多含义,所以注释欠奉。
   但它确实非常 necessary!
   所有的鬼佬一天不说个十七八遍就会浑身发痒。
   它的经典之处你就好好体会吧!

8 . Ditto! (俺也是 ! )
   本不是常用语,不过看过 “ 幽灵 ” 一片的人都染上了男主角的坏习惯。
   从来不说 I love you!
   总是 “ 俺也是,俺也是! ” 的把 MM 们气得口吐白沫!
   实际上你也可以说 “Me too!” 或 “Me also!” ,不过总是不够文艺腔!
   差了那么一点点味道和情调。

9 . How can I forget such a beautiful girl/sexy boy?
   此句在重逢某个你早已心仪的 MM 或 GG 是不妨拿来用用 !
   当对方还沉浸在陶醉中时,
   你可以利用这段时间好好想想对方的名字!

10 . I had no choice! (俺也是被 * 无奈啊!)
   最常用此话的要数那些被男主角 * 到悬崖边上的家伙们!

•  It's cool.

    cool 是青少年 (teenagers) 常用的词(有时也用 debonair ),其真正意思是指可以接受的好事;或是情况可以控制;或是保持冷静、文雅、礼貌、外表不错,能够合乎年轻人的标准。也可指人或事物。如:

    He (She) is a cool person. 他(她)是一个文雅礼貌的人。

    Skydiving (Surfing) is cool. 跳伞(冲浪)运动很不错。

    主语可用任何人称的单复数( I, we, they 等),动词可用动词的任何时态( is, was, were, will be, have been 等)。如:

    That's a cool T-shirt. 多好看的运动衫。

    但是: Are you cool? (cool = cold ) 是指“你冷吗?”。可见 cool 作口头禅或俚语时,多半不用在问句中。假如说: She looks as cool as a cucumber. (她看上去从容不迫。)意思是说她很 calm and charming; not emotional 。但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。(注:许多华人把 cool 译成“很酷”)

•  He is a nerd.

    nerd 是指一些年轻人,每天只懂读书、考试,对生活上的其他事情,都很生疏。由于美国是一个十分重视多方面发展的教育( well-rounded )国家,所以许多美国人认为 nerd 虽然学识不错,但很乏味,即有 IQ(IQ = Intelligence Quotient ) ,但缺乏 EQ (EQ = Emotional Quotient) ,只是社会上无足轻重的“书虫”而已。 nerd 可用复数,动词也能用其他时态。如:

    He used to be a nerd in high school. 过去他在高中时是个书呆子。

    至于 geek 这个词,虽然与 nerd 相似,年轻人也常用,但 geek 是指在某一方面有很高的 IQ 。如:

    He is a computer geek. 表示虽然他是书呆子,但电脑很棒。

    另外,年轻人还用 jerk 这个词来表示没有社交技巧,头脑简单或古怪,令人讨厌的家伙,如果你不喜欢一个人,就可以说:

    I don't like him because he is a jerk. 我不喜欢他是因为他很讨厌。

    Many jerks are working in our company. 我们公司有很多讨厌的家伙。(注:有时年轻人也 dork 用这个词来表示,但不如 jerk 常用。)

•  Catch you later!

    这是年轻人说“再会”的口语。表示现在没有时间与你交谈,以后再谈吧!因此, catch 就是 talk / contact 的意思。 catch 的后面也可用其他人称代词( him, her, them 等)。

    有时年轻小伙子也用: I am off. 表示“我要走了,再谈吧”。 (I am leaving now, I'll talk to you again. )
