   我们今天要讲的俚语与laugh 有关。laugh的意思意思是“笑” ,在日常交谈、讲演或者非正式的书面语言中时常会听到用laugh这个词组成的习惯用语。例如人们常会说做什么事情的目的是: just for laughs。Just for laughs用来说做什么事情的目的就是想要轻松一下。例如有个大学生刚考完试,听听他跟同寝室的朋友怎么说:


  例句1:Hey,Joe! Come on and grab 1 your jacket -- let's go out and have a couple of beers just for laughs.
  显然这个大学生要松弛一下紧张的神经,想出去乐一下,所以他约室友去喝两杯啤酒。
  他话里的just for laughs解释“就为了轻松一下。”当然这是无可非议的,然而有时just for laughs却会用来说某种低级趣味甚至是损害他人的恶作剧。
  比方说就是刚才那大学生一次去参加游泳聚会,想不到他是高兴而去,败兴而归。某些人的恶作剧完全破坏了他的兴致。我们来听听是怎么回事:
  例句2:Just for laughs these guys threw Mary into the pool with all her clothes on. But she didn't know how to swim. So I had to jump in and pull her out before she drowned.
  他说:这些人就为了取乐,竟然把Mary连人带衣服的一起扔进游泳池里。可是Mary压根儿不会游泳。我只好跳进水里把Mary拖上岸来。她差点淹死。
  这些人为了自己逗笑,竟然不顾他人的生命安危。这真是把自己的欢乐建筑在他人痛苦之上的行为,所以这段话里的just for laughs意思是就是为了取笑,而且往往是带有恶意的取笑。

vt./n.攫取,抓取;vi.攫取,抓住(at)
  • It is rude to grab a seat.抢占座位是不礼貌的。
  • The thief made a grab at my bag but I pushed him away.贼想抢我的手提包,但被我推开了。
