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。

美国常用俚语_俚语

美国常用俚语美国俚语是美国使用过程中的一种普遍现象,是人们为满足特定的交际需要,谋求某种的交际效果,而采取的一种语言手段。

美国常用俚语摘抄1. kick ass 了不起A: Wow, you fixed my computer in less than 10 minutes. You're good.A: 哇! 你不到十分钟就把我的计算机修好了呀! 你很棒!B: Yep. I just kick ass.B: 是的! 我就是厉害!"kick ass" 除了字面上的「踢屁股」外, 还有「厉害、打败」的意思。

当「踢屁股」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!【不管ass,还是butt,都是屁股的意思。

只写这些东东,真是不过butt比较正式一些。

黛西怎么老是庸俗不堪,社会主义精神的垃圾,我们新中国的有志青年可要擦亮眼睛,辩明是非啊!呵呵呵呵... 海泓注】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。

你想我们可不可能重修旧好呢?B: I don't know, but you can kiss my ass.B: 不知道, 不过你可以亲我的屁屁(巴结我)。

英语口语在全世界范围内都很流行,越来越多的人都开始投身英语学习的浪潮,下面就和大家分享实用英语之口语:美国俚语大全,希望能够帮助到大家,来欣赏一下吧。

英语口语:和茶有关的俚语
somebodys cup of tea
英国人对茶情有独钟,无论什么饮品都代替不了茶在他们心中的位置。

因此somebodys cup of tea指的就是to be something that one prefers or desires 对某人胃口的东西,使某人感兴趣的东西。

例句:Football/Opera/Chemistry is not his cup of tea. 足球/歌剧/化学可不是他的爱好。

This spy novel is just my cup of tea. 这本侦探小说正对我的胃口。

a storm in a tea cup
这是18世纪法国哲学家孟德斯鸠的一句名言。

有一次他听说圣马力诺发生了一场.就用了a storm in a tea cup这个比喻来形容整个事件。

圣马力诺是欧洲最小的共和国,人口稀少,因此孟
德斯鸠认为那里的.整个欧洲局势无关紧要。

If someone exaggerates a problem or makes a small problem seem far greater than it really is, then they are making a storm in a teacup. 顾名思义,“茶杯里的风暴”自然算不得什么大事,所以就被用来表示“小题大做,大惊小怪”的意思。

例句:That couple often quarrel, but it is a storm in a tea cup.
那对夫妻经常吵架,没什么大惊小怪的。

Storm in a teacup是大惊小怪的英式英语表达,美式英语的说法是tempest in a teapot。

此外,
大惊小怪相似的说法还有:a storm in a cream-bowl,a tempest in a glass of water,a storm in a hand-wash basin.
例句:Our bloody-minded foreman wouldnt give us a tea break. 我们残忍的工头不给我们工间茶休的时间。

a tea hound
在茶话会、舞会或各种社交场合,总有些喜欢追逐漂亮女子并对她们大献殷勤的家伙。

这类花花公子就被称为tea hounds 爱交际的男子。

例句:John is much mature now, I think hes no longer a tea hound. 约翰现在成熟多了,我想他不再是爱交际的花花公子了。

tea break
饮茶一直被英国人看作是一种悠闲和舒适的享受。

英国人喝茶的时间比较固定,不像我们那样随时随地都可以喝茶。

他们习惯于三餐两茶,每天工作、学习一段时间后,喜欢停下来休息一刻钟左右,喝杯茶,吃些点心,补充体力。

这段时间叫做tea break(茶休):an intermission from work, usually in the middle of the morning or afternoon, for a cup of tea, a snack, etc.。

茶休有morning tea(上午茶)和afternoon tea(下午茶)之分:上午茶一般在十点半左右;下午茶一般在下午四五点钟。

茶休的习惯源于英国18世纪的一位贝德芙公爵夫人安娜。

她每天在午餐和晚餐之间总会感到有点饥饿,于是就在每天下午四点到五点之间邀请三五位知心好友,来喝点茶吃点点心。

再后来就演变为“上下午工间或课间吃茶点的休息时间”。

这种茶休在英国可是雷打不动的小憩时间。
