书本里学不到的地道习语
英语课
很多英国人常用的习语,我们在书本里是学不到的。解决的一个好办法就是去英国旅游。如果不能去旅游的话,看看我给大家准备的这顿“习语大餐”也是不错的选择噢!
1. Are you all right? 你好吗?
绝对想不到“Are you all right?”还可以用来打招呼吧?其实这可是英国人最常用的打招呼句子,比“How are you?”还要流行哦!例如:
Are you all right, David?
Fine, thank you.
2. Cheers 1! 谢谢,再见!
我们干杯的时候常说Cheers!,以示宾主尽欢。当英国人下公车、买完东西的时候,他们常常对司机和售货员说“Cheers!”,来代替Thank you 和 Goodbye。例如:
Five pounds 2 fifty, please. Cheers!
Cheers!
3. Give me a minute! 请稍等一会!
说到“稍等一会”,我们立刻想到的就是wait a minute,意思也是不错的。但是英国人会说“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.”这句话真的是非常明白的表示了“一个成功的男人背后必定有一个女人”的意思。说到“我支持你”,可能很多人都会想到“I support 3 you.”,可就是想不到“I am behind you.”吧。例如:
Whatever 4 decision 5 you are going 6 to make, I am behind you.
5. Do you really mean it? 此话当真?
当别人许诺要给你什么好处的时候,你一定会以为是天上掉馅饼了,所以禁不住要问一句:Do you really mean it? 就是"此话当真"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! 快点!
大家一起出去玩,有个人却总是磨磨蹭蹭的,害得所有人都要赶不上车。这时候你就可以说get on with it来催促他。例如:
Get on with it, we have no time left!
7. Get a move on! 赶快行动吧!
记得看战斗片的时候,指挥作战的军官总是一边跑着,一边对士兵大喊:Move! Move! Move! 就是"赶快行动"的意思。现在这个词在口语中可是非常的流行,例如:
Get a move on and help yourself 7 to some food!
