很多英國人常用的習(xí)語,我們?cè)跁纠锸菍W(xué)不到的。解決的一個(gè)好辦法就是去英國旅游。如果不能去旅游的話,看看我給大家準(zhǔn)備的這頓“習(xí)語大餐”也是不錯(cuò)的選擇噢!
1. Are you all right? 你好嗎?
絕對(duì)想不到“Are you all right?”還可以用來打招呼吧?其實(shí)這可是英國人最常用的打招呼句子,比“How are you?”還要流行哦!例如:
Are you all right, David?
Fine, thank you.
2. Cheers! 謝謝,再見!
我們干杯的時(shí)候常說Cheers!,以示賓主盡歡。當(dāng)英國人下公車、買完東西的時(shí)候,他們常常對(duì)司機(jī)和售貨員說“Cheers!”,來代替Thank you 和
Goodbye。例如:
Five pounds fifty, please. Cheers!
Cheers!
3. Give me a minute! 請(qǐng)稍等一會(huì)!
說到“稍等一會(huì)”,我們立刻想到的就是wait a minute,意思也是不錯(cuò)的。但是英國人會(huì)說“Give me a minute!”,例如:
Give me a minute, David! I will find the map for you.
4. I am behind you. 我支持你
“I am behind you.”這句話真的是非常明白的表示了“一個(gè)成功的男人背后必定有一個(gè)女人”的意思。說到“我支持你”,可能很多人都會(huì)想到“I
support you.”,可就是想不到“I am behind you.”吧。例如:
Whatever decision you are going to make, I am behind you.
5. Do you really mean it? 此話當(dāng)真?
當(dāng)別人許諾要給你什么好處的時(shí)候,你一定會(huì)以為是天上掉餡餅了,所以禁不住要問一句:Do you really mean it?
就是"此話當(dāng)真"的意思。例如:
I can give what you want.
Do you really mean it?
Yes, I mean it!
6. Get on with it! 快點(diǎn)!
大家一起出去玩,有個(gè)人卻總是磨磨蹭蹭的,害得所有人都要趕不上車。這時(shí)候你就可以說get on with it來催促他。例如:
Get on with it, we have no time left!
7. Get a move on! 趕快行動(dòng)吧!
記得看戰(zhàn)斗片的時(shí)候,指揮作戰(zhàn)的軍官總是一邊跑著,一邊對(duì)士兵大喊:Move! Move! Move!
就是"趕快行動(dòng)"的意思?,F(xiàn)在這個(gè)詞在口語中可是非常的流行,例如:
Get a move on and help yourself to some food!
