40个特别有威力的地道美国英语俚语,值得人人研读收藏!

40个特别有威力的地道美国英语俚语,值得人人研读收藏!1、Bent out of shape这个俚语指的意思是“非常的恼怒或者沮丧”。

例句:It's really not worth getting so bent out of shape just because your boss ignored your comments.不就是你老板没在意你的意见嘛,你也没必要这么气嘟嘟的啊。

2、Burn someone up这个俚语说的是“让某某人非常生气”,和 bent out of shape类似。

例句:What you just said really burns me up! 你刚刚说的那些话真是把我气死了!3、Bust someone’s ass to do something我很喜欢这个俚语。

它说的是“火急火燎的赶着去做某事”。

例句:That freak of nature even really finished that 20-page paper in 2 days!那个怪胎居然真的在2天里完成了那篇20页的论文!6、Have guts to do something/gutlessguts的本意是“内脏”,但在美语口语经常被用作“胆量、勇气”的意思。

1. I couldn't care less.这句话的意思是「我不在乎」,「缺乏兴趣」(lack of interest),也就是:I don't care at all. 或I don't give a hoot. 例如:人家如果问:What do you think of the budget-cut?(你对预算削减有何看法?)你回答:I couldn't care less.(我毫不在乎)How do you like Mr. Lee's political point of view?(你喜欢李先生的政见吗?)I couldn't care less.(我才不在乎呢!)但是有时说话者也有「口是心非」:例如:I couldn't care less about the promotion or pay raise.(我不在乎升级或加薪)而实际上他是根本在乎升级和加薪的,那么人家也许就会回答说:Yes, you do (care).至于I couldn't care more. 就是「我很在乎」(I care a lot.)或I care deeply. 同理:I couldn't agree more.=I totally agree.(我完全同意)I couldn't please you more.=I did my best to please you.(我尽量使你高兴)I couldn't be more right.=I am totally right.但是老外为了「自尊」,不愿强调自己的错误,所以很少人说:I couldn't be more wrong.注意:一般人都用否定句,但也有老外把肯定句与否定句互用。

不过,严格来说,I could care less. = I care to some degree.(care 的程度可能减少)I could care more.=I care some.(care的程度也许增加)(主词可用任何人称代名词:he, she, you, we, they 等。

但只用could,不用can。

)2. No bones about it.意思是:真实的,诚恳的(truly, sincerely or exactly),也就是to make no bones about it.(bone 要加s, it 是指something)例如:His wife is beautiful;no bones about it.(他的太太真是很漂亮)Mr. A made no bones about it when he talked about abortion issue.(当A 先生谈到堕胎问题时,他是诚恳的。

)When I spoke on the topic,he said, "No bones about it."(也就是他同意我的看法)No bones about it;the weather is very chilly today.(今天是真的太冷了)3. take it on me!意思是:「这是我的,请用吧!」「这是免费的」(help yourself to it; it is free),这多半是指吃的东西或一些不贵重的东西。

例如:Here are some candies from England; take one on me. (这是来自英国的糖果,尝一个吧!) (one = candy)The restaurant owner said to me, "Take the dessert on me." (餐馆老板对我说:「尝尝我的甜点吧!」)Please take these pencils on me.(取用一些我的铅笔吧!) (也许铅笔上刻有名字,做为宣传之用而免费。

)可见take 后面的it,是指something,而on 的后面通常不指别人,所以多半也只用在第一人称单数me。

(假如夫妇在一起,也可以说:Take it on us.)4. I am from Missouri.这句话有时后面要加一句:「I need to be shown.」或「You have got to show me.」,意思是Missouri 州的人很固执(stubborn),不太信任别人,一定要人家「证明一下」(prove it to me),所以密苏里州也被称为「The Show Me State」。

据说这句话所以流行(尤其在美国中西部) 是因为美国一些名人都住过密苏里州,包括Harry Truman, Mark Twain, Walt Disney 等。

后来老外不轻易相信别人时,就使用这句话。

(也有半开玩笑性质) 例如:He is not easily convinced because he is from Missouri. (他是来自密苏里州,所以不容易说服他。

)Don't try to fool me; I am from Missouri.(You have got to show me.) (别愚弄我,我是来自密苏里州。

)We are all from Missouri; we need to be shown.As Mr. Smith is a tough guy; he must be from Missouri. (Smith先生是位倔强的人,他一定是来自密苏里州。

)(主词可用任何人称代名词you, he, she, we, they 等[这个贴子最后由jennifer-jin在2001/12/21 08:40am 编辑]美国口语俚语(1)1.clock in 打卡Don't forget to clock in,otherwise you won't get paid.别忘了打卡,否则领不到钱。

e on to 对...轻薄;吃豆腐Tanya slapped Bill after he came on to her.Tanya在Bill对她轻薄之后打了他一巴掌。

e easily 易如反掌Languages come easily to some people.语言学习对有些人来说易如反掌。

4.don't have a cow别大惊小怪Don't have a cow! I'll pay for the damages.别大惊小怪的!我会赔偿损失的。

5.push around 欺骗Don't try to push me around!别想耍我!美国口语俚语(2)1.keep one's shirt on保持冷静Keep your shirt on. He didn't mean to offend you. That's just theway he talks.保持冷静。
