美国留学不可或缺的本地俚语
美国留学不可或缺的本地俚语踏上美国的土地，留学生们最要紧的除了学习，就是如何快速融入当地生活，留学生们应该怎么改变不落单的现状呢?下面小编就教你美国人常用的那些俚语，让你也能迅速成为“老油条”!1、What’s up?What’s up是美国年轻人之间的一种打招呼的非正式方式(但不要对长辈使用)。
意思跟“你在做什么”比较类似，所以用I’m fine 这样的回答是不OK的。
现在小编教大家几种合适的回答，第一种就是用I + am + -ing verb的形式来回答，例如“I’m hanging out with friends right now”。
第二种是用“Not much. What’s up with you?”来回答，意思是“无聊中，你呢?”，一般比较适合想不出如何回答的同学。
第三种就是用俚语回答，例如“I’m chilling”，意思是我在休息。
2、forty winks13世纪，wink(本意，眨眼)就开始表示“打盹儿”，因为人打盹儿时处于浅睡眠状态，眼皮会快速眨动。
“forty”不是数字“四十”的意思，在圣经以及莎士比亚著作中,“forty”常用来表示“一些、少许”。
因此，“forty wink”表示“打盹儿”。
3、Damn it这句俚语同学们在美剧里经常可以听到。
而且美国人在日常生活中也会经常使用，意思是“该死”、“见鬼”、“真糟糕”、或者“真气死人了”，主要就是表达自己不爽的心情，请自行体会运用场合。
学会了这句俚语，同学们就可以把粗俗的F**k给抛弃了，用Damn it相对优雅地表达自己那不愉悦的心情岂不更好。
4、In the nick of timeIn the nick of time 一般用在非常紧急的时候，意思是“及时、恰好”。
上个例句让大家感受一下——“News of interest cuts came in the nick of time for borrowers.”，这句话的意思是“对借款人来说，减息的消息来得正是时候”。
Wildlife+Protection+复习导学案- 高三英语一轮复习人教版(2019)必修第二册
必修二Unit2 Wildlife Protection语境中记单词In recent years,creatures such as whales,sharks,dolphins,deer,kangaroos and Tibetan antelopes have faced a threat and it's difficult for them to exist. Now their numbers are reducing due to too much hunting. As a result, they have to search for new habitats and try to adapt to new environments. This problem has concerned people very much, and stirred up emotions of alarm. At present, many volunteers join in the protection of wild animals. In the habitats they observe the daily activities of wild animals and watch them over day and night. They remove traps and nets placed by hunters to protect animals and insects like butter flies from attack. In addition, these volunteers help to recover the lost animals. They remind people in the neighbourhood of the importance of harmony between man and nature.近年来，鲸鱼，鲨鱼，海豚，鹿，袋鼠和藏羚羊等生物面临威胁，它们很难生存。

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。
