65句地道美语表达
1. kick ass 了不起 A: Wow, you fixed my computer in less than 10 minutes. You’re good. A: 哇! 你不到十分钟就把我的计算机修好了呀! 你很棒! B: Yep. I just kick ass. B: 是的! 我就是厉害! “kick ass”除了字面上的「踢屁股」外，还有「厉害、打败」的意思。当「踢屁股」时，比如某人放你鸽子，你很气，就可以说: “I’m going to kick his ass.” (我得踢他的屁股)。当「厉害」用时，就像上面例句一样用。”kick ass”还可作「打败某人的意思」。比如某人一向在某方面比你强，终于有一天你比他厉害了，你就可以说:”Hahaha…I kick ed your ass.”。觉得“ass”太难听的人，就用“butt”吧! 2. kiss ass 拍马屁 A: Mary, I’m sorry for cheating on you before. Do you see any chance that we c an get back together? A: Mary, 我真的很抱歉对你不忠实。你想我们可不可能重修旧好呢? B: I don’t know, but you can kiss my ass. B: 不知道，不过你可以亲我的屁屁(巴结我)。 「亲屁屁」好象不大卫生吧! 不过人家就是这样用，就照着「亲」吧! “cheat”除了作弊外，还有「不忠实」的意思。 3. XYZ 检查你的拉链 Hey, man. XYZ. 老兄啊! 检查一下你的拉链吧。 “XYZ”是“Check your zipper.”的意思。在美国，填表选项时多用打「X」来表示(台湾则用打勾表示)。这个选项的动作就叫”Check”, 也就是这里的 XYZ 的X所代表的。Y 是 Your, Z 就是 Zipper 啰! 4. Hit the road. 上路了。 A: Do you want to come in for some tea? A: 你要不要进来喝个茶呢?

与身体部位有关的英语习语
与身体部位有关的英语习语 1. Head The head is thought to be the most important part of the human body. So a leader is often compared to a head (首脑). Thus we have Head of State or the head of a delegation. The head is where the brain is located. It is naturally associated with ideas and intelligence. Very often, we need other people's ideas and opinions when we want to do something well. The is because two heads are better than one (三个臭皮匠顶个诸葛亮). 2. Eye The eyes are extremely precious to us. That is why we say" Mind your eye (当心)! when we reminding someone to be careful. Not only human beings and animals have eyes, many things also have" eyes"- the eyes of a ship, the eye of a needle, the eye of a typhoon, and so on. 3. Ear The ear is the organ of hearing. A piece of light music is easy on the ear. (悦耳动听). We are usually all ears (专心聆听) for bit news. When they think somebody is overhearing, English people use either of the two proverbs: Walls have ears (隔墙有耳) and Pitchers have ears (壶罐有耳). They also think that little pitchers have big ears（小孩子耳朵尖）. Nice boys and girls respect other people. They will not secretly listen to others' private conversations. 4. Nose The English phrase "face to face (面对面)" and its Chinese counterpart（对应）are exactly the same. But English people, to express the same idea, can say nose to nose instead. There is no such substitute in Chinese. The word nose appears in many idioms. Here are two which are quite similar to their Chinese equivalents: lead somebody by the nose (牵着某人的鼻子走) and turn up one's nose at somebody or something (对某人或某物嗤之一鼻）. English people can say as plain as the nose in one's face (一清二楚) to mean "very obvious". May be to them, the nose is the most conspicuous part of the face. 5. Lip We have two lips: the upper lip and the lower lip. If one's two lips are closed, one cannot speak. So it goes without saying that "don't open your lips (不要开口)" means " don't speak". His lips are sealed. Are his lips really stuck together by wax or glue? No, his lips are sealed when asked about something that he must keep secret. Sometimes a top secret is betrayed because it has escaped someone's lips (脱口而出). Then the incident may become a piece of news that is on everybody's lips (众口相传). 6. Tongue We all know we cannot speak without the tongue. So the tongue is closely related to speech. To hold one's tongue (保持沉默) means "to keep silent". A person who has too much tongue (太多嘴) is disliked by all, for he is too talkative. Mother tongue is not the tongue of a mother: it is a person's native language. "Don't you have a moth below your nose (你鼻子底下不是有张嘴吗)?" The Chinese say

地道美语
当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完，你烦透了，说―You are so boring ―.(你真烦！)。―Shut up !‖（闭嘴！）自然没错，可人家受得了吗？不如来一句―Oh, come on .Give me a break !‖ (帮帮忙，让我歇歇吧！)这多地道、多幽默。 要想说人―气色好‖。―You look fine !‖当然不错，可如果你说‖You’re in the pink !‖就妙得多了，实际上，在英语口语中，表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。 ―他精力充沛‖美国人说：―He is bouncy.‖而不说―He is energetic ‖,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。 如：久仰，―I get mind of you ―.比‖I heard a lot about you.‖轻松得多。 代问他人好当然能用‖Please remember me to your sister .‖ 或‖Please give my best w ishes to your father ‖不过，若是很好的朋友，何不说，―Please give my love to Jim。‖ 在中国可不能随便说―我想你‖，然而，当和西方人分手时说―I will miss you .‖要比说―Goo d-bye‖或―See you soon‖有趣得多，不妨一试。 有人开会迟到了，你若对他说―You are late .‖，听起来象是废话，若说―Did you get lost ?‖，则更能让他歉然，可别说成―Get lost!‖那可是让人滚蛋的意思。 别人征求你的意见，问能否开窗户等，你要说―You can do that .‖就有点土了，用一句―Do you have the time? ‖实际上，问他人的姓名，地址都可以这么用：―May I have you na me?―要比‖What’s your name ? ‖礼貌得多，不过警察例外。 别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用―It’s my secret ,Don’t ask such a personal question .‖回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说―I would rather not say .‖（还是别说了吧！）。 有时候，你想说什么，可说是想不起来，你可以说―Well …‖―Let me see‖―Just a moment ‖或―It’s on the tip of my tongue.‖等，想比之下，最后一个句型是最地道的。 交谈时，你可能会转换话题，不要只说―By the way ‖,实际上，―To change the subject‖―B efore I forget‖―While I remember‖―Mind you ‖都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。 遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，―I know‖可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍―I know‖可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍―I know‖,我敢保证，他不会再跟你说什么了。用―I know ‖或―I got it ‖就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说―I’m not clear about it .‖不过如果你会说―It’s past my understanding‖或―It’s beyond me .‖你的教师定会惊讶不已的。 要想将地道习语熟练地运用于口语，下面内容，不可不读： ☆a black sheep 败家子 绵羊一般为白色，一旦成了黑色的绵羊，一定是个―败类‖。 Eric is a black sheep ,splashing one million dollars in a few years . 艾瑞克是个败家子，几年就挥霍了一百万美金。
