  最近在社交媒体上兴起了晒18岁的活动,大家纷纷晒出18岁的自己,同时又不可避免地怀念青春。今天Jenny和Adam要和大家聊一聊如何避免中年油腻。
  国外也流行晒18岁
  我们在朋友圈晒,外国朋友都在Twitter/Instagram上晒:
  Post (on social media): 晒
  Hashtag: # 热门话题。和微博一样,国外社交媒体热门话题前会加一个#
  Throw-back: 晒旧照、旧回忆
  怀念青春,都是因为中年危机
  “中年油腻”是冯唐的一篇文章中来:如何避免成为一个油腻的中年猥琐男
  Sleazy: 猥琐
  但直接说“油腻”外国朋友可能不会明白,可以用以下的概念:
  Mid 1 life crisis: 中年危机
  Downward spiral: 不断下降,下跌(这个比较严重)
  Over the hill: 走下坡路
  用英语晒18岁 聊中年油腻
  “油腻”的各种英语说法
  #1.Oily:油腻
  Oily是Oil的形容词,可以用来形容:
  Food: oily food。 Oily最常形容食物,油放得很多的食物,比如水煮鱼。
  Skin: oily skin。也可以用来形容皮肤,油性皮肤。
  Salesman: oily salesman。也可以形容销售,狡诈、油滑的销售。
  #2.Slick:油滑
  Slick本义是“滑”,比如:
  The ice is slick. 冰很滑
  引申出来也有光滑、油滑的意思:
  Slick your hair back:梳包头
  City slicker: 滑头的都市人
  #3.Smooth: 圆滑
  如果一个人为人处事很圆滑,我们可以用smooth:
  Smooth talker: 说话滴水不漏的人
  He is too smooth:他太圆滑了
  #4.Greasy 2: 腻
  Greasy也可以形容很多东西:
  1).Food: 很腻的食物。
  注意:oily food纯粹指油很多;greasy food一般指很腻,很重的食物,比如芝士很多的汉堡、披萨。
  2).Place:很油腻的地方。
  Kitchen floor is greasy. 厨房的地板很油腻。
  "Greasy spoon": 便宜油腻的小饭店
  3).Situation/space: 形容一种情况,一个地方。意思是很可疑。
