15条暗藏陷阱的英语俚语

15条暗藏陷阱的英语俚语 1. You have matches 最近我有一次机会登上一艘豪华游轮观光。一次,我在酒吧台拿了两杯鸡尾酒回房间享受,途中遇到一位女士,她看看我后笑着说,"You have matches?" 我一愣,回答说:“很抱歉,我十五年前就戒烟了,所以没有火柴。”她立刻会意到我误解了她的意思,好像是有点抱歉的说,"It's a joke." 然后,我们就相互尴尬的笑了笑,走开了。事后和朋友在吃晚饭的时候聊天,我趁机向一个美国朋友请教白天的那句话,他解释说:“因为她看你两手都占着,就故意开玩笑跟你要火柴,这是个非常普通的笑话,非但没有恶意,反而是想问你需不需要帮忙。” 2. Turn the table 一位亲戚和妻子失和到了要离婚的地步。几天前接到亲戚电话,说他们在走进律师楼之前,先去求助于心理和婚姻问题专家。夫妇俩心平气和地坐下来谈了好多次,互相之间多了一份理解,少了一份猜疑、埋怨,结果化干戈为玉帛。说简单也简单,就这么拯救了这场婚姻。我打心眼里为他们高兴,把这一消息告诉了同样也认识他们的一位美国朋友。这位朋友挺激动的,连连说着“感谢上帝,感谢上帝”,她还补充了一句"He turned the table"。 这话让我心里很不舒服,她是指我亲戚动粗吗?我打抱不平说:“不会,不会,他很斯文,很有绅士风度,不会以粗鲁的举动压制对方,不会以高压让对方屈从。” 结果,越说谁也听不懂谁。看着我那一脸不快的表情,朋友突然茅塞顿开了,以另一种方法向我解释。终于让我明白,她是说我亲戚“扭转了局面”,那"table"和我想到的“桌子”根本无关。 再说远一点,turn the tables (on someone) 这个短语也和“桌子”没什么关系,它的意思是to suddenly take a position of strength or advantage that was formerly held by someone else(反败为胜,转弱为强),例如:"She played badly in the first set, but then she turned the tables on her opponent and won the match." 3. Wearing two hats 同事朋友聚会,少不了相互介绍。先生在向我介绍他的同事 Larry 时,说他可是个大忙人,"He is wearing two hats." 我说,你开什么玩笑,他根本就

英语中有趣的“颜色词”

英语中有趣的“颜色词” 英语中有很多常用的俚语、俗语是不能用汉语直译的,但是更有趣的是,有很多俚语,都是有颜色词的。 首先看看红色“red”。“red alert”,就是直译的“红色警戒”,但是它的原意是“紧急警报”,在这里,“red”的意思是“紧急(的)”。再看看这一例“the red carpet”,直译过来是“红地毯”,足以让人不明所以。但是它的实际意思是“热烈的欢迎”。试想一下,热烈欢迎某人时,不都是铺好红色的地毯的吗?还有一个很常见的词语“red tape”,你要是直译成“红色的胶带”或者“红色的带子”,你就输了。这个词组源于三个世纪以前,西方各国的官方使用红带子捆文件。它的词意逐渐演变成为“繁文缛节,官样文章”,烦杂费事的手续,官僚的形式主义等。最后是一个不怎么常用的词语“red-light district”,直译为“红灯区”。但是,实际的意思是“有伤风化的的地区”,就是资本主义社会中那些所有有正常道德情操的人应当止步的地方,恰如字面意思“red-light”。 接下来,应当讨论的自然是黑色“black”。“black sheep”,字面直译为“黑绵羊”,但其实际意思是“无用者,害群之马”它源于英国古代的迷信传说过去英国人认为黑色羊毛的羊羔是魔鬼的化身,因此牧羊人总觉得一只黑羊挤在一群白羊中很不吉利。黑色的羊毛也值不了多少钱,被当成无用的东西。这样“black sheep”就转义为“无用之人,败家子”。“black diamonds”,直译为“黑色的钻石”,当然,其实意为“煤”。这个很容易理解,因为煤的色泽,是具备金

属光泽的,看起来和钻石的光泽类似,而其特有的黑色,就成了它如此构词的原因。提到“black”,当然不能忽视掉“Black Friday”,直译作“黑色星期五”,一般指星期五又逢l3号的那一天,迷信者会尽量减少外出以免灾祸临头。 此后,便应该轮到白色“white”了。“white elephant”,直译作“白象”,它的原意呢?一般来说,应该想当然翻译为“可爱的人”,但事实却并非如此,它的意思是“累赘”。过去在南亚地区白象被视为神圣而不作役用,当然,因为是神圣的象征,自然不能置之不理或者将其杀害。据说旧时泰国国王常将白象赠予并不喜欢白象的大臣,让大象成为其累赘,现常喻昂贵而无用的东西、弃物。“white flag”,这个倒是很常用。直译为“白旗”,意译为“投降”。“white sepulcher”,直译自然是“白色公墓”,但是其实际意义却并不是这样。它的意义是“伪善者”。这个词语出自《圣经·马太福音》第23章第27节,原指粉饰的坟墓中装着腐朽不堪的尸骨及一切污秽,喻指“金玉其外,败絮其中”的人或物。 下来是黄色“yellow”。这个词在中文里有着许多引申义,但却并不全然是如此。“yellow back”,直译为“黄色封面”。在印刷书籍用的纸张中,黄色纸是最差的一种。19世纪流行的法国廉价小说便是用黄色纸印刷及用黄皮封面的。而这种廉价的小说就被称为“yellow back”。再看看这个词语“yellow book”,当然,千万不要直译为“黄书”,它的意思是“电话簿”,因为美国的商业分类电话簿都是由黄色纸印刷而成的。还有“yellow alert”,这个直译为“黄

几个有趣的英语俚语

Let George do it. 我有一个叫George 的朋友,过去曾当过导游。 有一次,他对我说,当导游的时候,游客有什么事情要找他帮忙时,往往会开玩笑地对他讲 Let George do it. 什么叫Let George do it?难道就因为他的名字叫George?原因没有那么简单喔。 Let George do it.其实是美国人口头上常常用到的一句话,准确的意思是"叫别人去做自己份内的事"。 所以这里的George 并非名叫George 的朋友的专利,他可以是"张三,李四,王五......"。那么为什么在芸芸众生,众多姓氏中偏偏选出了George 呢? 要解开谜底,一定要了解法国国王路易十二的脾气。 原来,路易十二每当有自己不愿处理的事时,就会对当时的首相Cardinal Georges d'Amboise 说 “让乔治去办吧!" 购物狂 那日听说英国著名歌手艾尔顿约翰在2000年度仅用于购买鲜花的费用竟高达50万英镑,不愧是有名的购物狂。 但世界上的绝大部分购物狂是女人,如: Three out of four compulsive "shopaholics" in Britain are women. 英国的购物狂中,四个里面有三个是女人。 句中的shopaholic是一个很有意思的词,它的后缀是从alcoholic(酗酒者)演化而来,有对某事嗜好如命的含意,类似的词还有:workaholic(耕作狂),foodaholic(馋鬼),spendaholic(有钱就花的人),等等。 说说"Jack" 看到这个标题,你可能会不屑一顾,Jack不就是个人名吗?有什么好说的! Jack是人名,为Jacob, John的昵称。 除了表示人名外,Jack还有许多其他的意思,如: 可以表示“男人,男孩"。 可以表示“仆人;侍者;打杂工" 可以表示“水手;海员;水兵" 可以表示“老兄,夥计(用于对陌生人的称呼)" 注意Jack表示上述意思时,不仅可以大写,也可以小写。 除此之外,jack还可表示“公的",英语中的“公驴"就是jackass,口语中jackass多表示“蠢货"。 由jack构成的短语就更多了。如: jack-a-dandy“花花公子" Jack and Jill“男孩女孩,少男少女" jack-in-a-box“魔术箱" Jack of all trades“半瓶醋,万事通,杂而不精的人"
