让人匪夷所思的英式俚语_励志口号
让人匪夷所思的英式俚语1、打招呼、称呼花样多-Alright， mate？ Where have you been？你好啊朋友，最近跑哪去了？-Aye， nowhere， just dying in bed。
Who’s that lad？嗨，我哪也没去，在家瘫着而已。
那小子是谁啊？-Oh，that’s my pal， Jimmy。
哦，是我朋友吉米。
Tips：1）英国人见面时常用的alright、aye就是打招呼说你好的意思，英格兰北部的人尤其喜欢说aye、aye up2）mate、pal可能很多人都听过，就是朋友的意思，类似于美语里的man、buddy，而像lad一般就是指男孩，小伙子，也常说chap2、撩人社交必学-Fancy a drink？来一杯吗？-Blimey， no！I don’t want to get pissed in the afternoon。
哦天啊，不要！我可不想大下午就醉熏熏的。
-Well then，I’ll get you a cuppa？好吧，我去给你倒杯茶。
-Cheers。
谢谢。
-My mate invited me to his do tonight， do you want go with me？我朋友邀请我今晚去他家聚会，要不要一起？-Sure…Oh sod it！I forget I’ll have dinner with my mom。
好啊…哦坏了，我忘了晚上要跟我妈妈吃饭。
Tips：1）fancy本身就是喜爱的意思，英国人非常喜欢用fancy，口语中相当于would you like？也就是询问你有没有意向做某事2）很多英国人把blimey挂在口头上，其实就是oh my god，英国版我的天呐（小岳岳脸）3）pissed在美语里是生气的意思，但在英国俚语中是喝醉的意思哦4）cuppa不是什么随便的a cup of，而是特指a cup of tea！英国人有多爱茶大家都是知道的吧5）cheers不仅有干杯的意思，英国人也用它表示感谢，就是谢谢的意思啦6）do就是party，go to a do就是go to a party7）sod it也是口头语，感叹词，不过是很脏的话了，可以理解成* it3、不一样的物件名称-You want some sweet to eat with your tea？你想来点儿糖果伴茶吗？-Yeah， that would be nice。

当“踢屁股”用时, 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 kicked 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 can get back together?A: Mary, 我真的很抱歉对你不忠实。

美国习惯用语401-450
美国习惯用语401 像蔬菜一样静静地休息我们已经连续两次讲了美国青少年中流行的习惯说法。
今天我们再来讲两个。
生活在当今世界上的人们一般生活节奏都相当快，好多人都是日理万机的，正当壮年的人当然更得如此，然而也不可否认年轻一代的生活也相当紧张，他们也面临很大的压力，年轻人自然也需要放松一下的机会。
于是在他们中间流行着一些专门用来表示放松休闲的词汇，这就是我们今天要学的内容。
第一个是: veg。
Veg显然来自vegetable。
Veg是vegetable这个词的简略形式。
Vegetable是蔬菜，长在地上的蔬菜是不能自由活动的，它静静地呆在原地不动。
表面看来蔬菜被动呆板，但换个角度来想它们倒也活得悠闲自在。
这也许就是veg这个说法的出典。
让我们听个例子来体会veg这个词的确切含义。
说话的这个小伙子在说他这个周末将做什么。
例句-1：I'm so glad that the week is almost over! I've had too much work to do. So I'm staying home and vegging this weekend. I won't do anything not even think about my deadline s next week.他说：我真高兴这个星期总算快过完了，我得做的事儿实在太多。
所以这个周末我准备待在家静静地休息，我什么也不干，甚至连下星期那些截止日期都不去想。
他准备这周末足不出户，什么也不干，什么也不想，完完全全地放松休息，这就是veg这个词的意思，这儿他是用了veg这个词的现在分词形式vegging。
******有时候人们甚至等不到周末就想彻底地放松一下自己，因为一天工作下来确实令人精疲力尽了。
我们来听听一名年轻职员下班后晚上的时间打算怎么渡过。
例句-2：I've run around the office all day. I'm exhausted! A whole pot of coffee couldn't keep me awake. I'm going straight home to veg -- maybe watch a little television, then go to bed.他说：我一整天都在办公室里东奔西走，实在困极了。
