地道美国口语俗语
地道美国口语俗语1. nerd & jocknerd和jock是美国学生常用的两个俗语。
nerd的意思和汉语中的“书呆子”类似。
这类人聪明勤奋，但却过于保守严肃，在校园里颇让人瞧不起。
jock则恰恰相反。
他们魁梧帅气，很受女孩子们的欢迎，尤其擅长American football和basketball等各种体育运动。
当然，校园中也不乏漂亮的girljocks。
2. eggheadegghead这个词在1952年的美国总统大选中被首次使用。
当时的竞选双方分别是二战盟军总司令艾森豪威尔和书生气十足的伊利诺伊州州长史蒂文森。
史蒂文森精心准备的竞选演讲文字华丽晦涩，只有和他一样的知识分子才会感兴趣。
因此对手取笑他说："Sure, all the eggheads love Stevenson. But how many eggheads do you think there are?" egghead 的意思，就是指书生气很足的知识分子。
3. hick & city slickerhick和city slicker这两个词的意思在各种语言中一定都能找到对应的词，它们分别是城里人和乡下人对对方的贬称。
hick的意思是“乡巴佬，土包子，”而 slick字面意思是“圆滑的，油滑的”，因而city slicker也就是乡下人眼中的“城里老油子，打扮光鲜，老于世故却不可信的城里滑头”。
4. turkey, shrimp, crabturkey(火鸡)，shrimp(虾)和crab(螃蟹)这三种动物在美国人眼中会是什么人呢？turkey是美国人在Thanksgiving Day（感恩节）和Christmas Day家家都要吃的食物。
但是，活的火鸡样子难看，行动又笨拙，所以turkey就用来形容那种愚蠢无用的人。
而那种雇用了这些turkey，又不能开除他们的政府或商业机构就被称作turkey farm。
