  和nothing有关的短语


 第一个习惯用语是: nothing to sneeze at。Sneeze这个词的意思是“打喷嚏”,既可用作名词,也可用作不及物动词。动词短语sneeze at意思是“看不上、嗤之以鼻”。Nothing to sneeze at是指“虽然算不上是最好的、但也相当不错的、不能被小看的事物”。与它意思相对的还有一个短语nothing to write home about,意为“无足挂齿”。


  例句-1:So you didn't win the million dollars! But you did win 10,000, didn't you? Let me tell you, friend, 10,000 dollars is certainly nothing to sneeze at!
  不错,你的确没有赢到那一百万美元。但是你赢了一万美元,是不是?朋友,听我说一句,一万美元绝对不是一笔小钱!
  例句-2:Okay, honey, you came in second in the 400 meters, not first. But you won the silver 1 medal and you're the second fastest runner in the state. I'd say that's nothing to sneeze at.
  宝贝,就算你在400米赛跑中只得了第二,没争上第一,但是你获得了银牌,是全州跑第二快的人。要我说,这是谁也不能小看的成绩。
  第二个习惯用语是:Here goes nothing。这个习惯用语是人们在开始做没有把握的事情前说的话。中文里很难找到完全对应的说法,有点像: “好了,不管那么多了。”
  例句-3:Well, Jack 2, here goes nothing! Right now I wish I'd spent a lot more time preparing. It's a tough 3 audience 4 I hear -- Right now I'd rather be anywhere else, even at the dentist!
  好吧,杰克,不管那么多了。我现在真希望我花了更多的时间来准备(演讲)。听说这次的听众不好对付。只要不让我去会场,我去哪儿都行,哪怕是牙医诊所。
  第三个习惯用语是:Nothing doing,这其实也是一种说“不”的方式,只不过再语气上更为坚决。意思接近于“不行,我不答应,肯定不行”。
  例句-3:I tell you, nothing doing! I just paid $900 to fix my car after that accident you got into last week. Didn't I tell you you can't drive my car again until you lean 5 to be a safe driver!
  我告诉你,绝对不行!我刚刚才花了900美元修理你上周在车祸中撞坏的汽车。我不是跟你说了吗?在你能安全驾驶汽车之前,休想再动我的汽车!
  除了nothing doing之外,人们有时候也用其它的说法:no way。还有:forget it。这后两种说法同nothing doing一样,都是坚决拒绝他人要求的时候说的话。但是,要注意的是,这三种说法都不太礼貌。所以,只能在某些适当的时候说,而不能随便使用。
