美国俚语大全

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.(我不在乎升级或力口薪)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。
