 关于山寨,你不可不知道的英文


New Words:
spitting image/mirror image:简直一模一样
look-alike:山寨脸
copycat:盲目模仿者
knockoff:山寨货
extravagant 1:过分的,奢侈的
今天我们学习下生活中这些相似性极高的现象的英文表达。
先说撞脸的英文表达:
Spitting image非常像,一个模子刻出来的,主要形容人的外形相似,英文也可以说mirror image。
Bob is the spitting image of his grandfather.
鲍勃和他爷爷长得一模一样。
山寨明星脸
Look-alike, look后面跟alike look-alike
You're a Lady GaGa look-alike.
山寨版的嘎嘎。
不少人可能调侃自己是山寨明星脸,这可能只是一种偶然的巧合。但是如果刻意去模仿别人说的话或是动词,就要用到copycat这个单词。
Copycat
Copycat means someone who copies the words or behavior of another
是指没有主见,老有样学样学别人的人。
Example:
Next is the younger copycat sibling 2. They hang out with you.
下一种是学人精弟妹。他们和你混在一起。
Now, I know people say, Oh, if they copy you, then it's flattering-it just bugged 3 me!
现在,我知道人们会说:「喔,如果他们学你,那么那很让人荣幸啊」那只让我觉得烦!
Hey, Mom, look at this cool Instagram shirt I got!
嘿老妈,你看我这件超酷的 IG 上衣!
Hey, Mom, I'm going to Mark's! Hey, Mom, I'm going to Mark's!
嘿老妈,我去 Mark 家喔!嘿老妈,我去 Mark 家喔!
刚才提到了山寨,那么山寨货用英语怎么表达呢?它的表达是knockoff k-n-o-c-k-o-f-f.马上又到双十二了,看来不少人又要准备剁手啦。不过在清空的购物车的时候,一定要睁大眼睛,不要买到山寨货。山寨货是一种会让你在冲动消费时产生“质优价廉”的错觉。而往往在买到手后,就又后悔不已。
现在我们来说说knockoff怎么来使用:
I can't accept this.
我不能接受。
This is too extravagant. It's nothing.
太贵重了 不值钱。
A guy had a bunch of them laid out on a blanket.
外面有小摊贩摊了一地卖这个。
If you look closely, it says Folex.
如果你凑近看 上面写着労力士[劳力士山寨版]
Still, I. . . Please.
我还是不能接受 给点面子。
It would make me so happy if you took it.
你要是收下 我会很开心的。
Well, in that case, thank you for my cheap knockoff.
既然这样 谢谢你送我的仿制品。
