   1. I can't stand her because she is a high-maintenance woman.


  Maintenance 这个词指的是维修、保养。汽车保养在英文里就是 maintenance。而所谓的 high maintenance 指的就是保养维修的费用很高,通常被用来形容女人很爱花钱,对自己很好,她们像一部设计精密、需要时时维修的机器。在王文华写的《蛋白质女孩》中,有一段写到高维修女子,就是从英语的 high maintenance 直接翻译过来的。
  实际使用中,只要把 high-maintenance 当成一个形容词用就行啦!你可以说"She is high-maintenance."或是 "My mom is a high-maintenance woman."。
  如果我们要形容一个女孩很难侍候,有大小姐脾气该怎么说?很简单,就说"She is a princess."各位想想公主会是怎么个样子?当然是很难养的啦!不过如果老美跟你说"She is a princess."时,你要注意听他的语气,如果是讽刺挖苦的话当然就是指这个女孩子很难伺候,不过有时"She is a princess."也可以用来形容一个女孩子很高贵,气质出众。所以不同的语气可以代表不同的意思,请注意。
  2.She's got him wrapped around her little finger.
  用来形容女生把她的另一半管得死死的就用 whip 这个词,例如我们可以说:She's got him whipped. 或是 He is whipped.。但老美还有许多生动的成语可以用来形容这个“残酷”的事实。例如:She wears the pants in their relationship. 或是 She's got him wrapped around her little finger. 都是同样指“她要他往东,他绝对不敢往西”。还有一句:She's got him eating out of her hands. 意思差不多但不太常用。
  3.Have someone wrapped around one's little finger 的用法不只限于男女关系,平常我们要说某人对我“言听计从”或是“百依百顺”时用的也是这句成语。
  4.She's a ballbreaker.
  Ballbreaker 是一个形容女生的专用字眼,意思就是她总是会用一些事情来烦人。这种女人就可以被称之为 ballbreaker。你除了可以说:She's a ballbreaker. 之外,也可以说 She really busts 1 my balls. 大家应该知道这个 my balls 是指什么 ball 吧!所以才要加复数。如果你觉得讲 ballbreaker 或 balls 不雅的话,还有一种用法,"She's always on my case."意思也是一模一样的。
  5.My girlfriend is so neurotic 2.
  常看到有人把“神经质”翻成 sensitive (敏感的),或是 emotional (情绪化的),或是 on edge (紧张兮兮的)。这几个词的意思都很接近,只不过提醒大家一下,neurotic 这个从 neuron (神经元) 衍生出来的词才是正牌的“神经质”喔!
  例句:We don't get along too well 'coz she is always on edge.(我们处得并不是很好,因为她凡事都紧张兮兮的。)
  He wants to divorce her because she is so neurotic.(因为她太神经质了,所以他要跟她离婚。)

半身雕塑像( bust的名词复数 ); 妇女的胸部; 胸围; 突击搜捕
  • Dey bags swells up and busts. 那奶袋快胀破了。
  • Marble busts all looked like a cemetery. 大理石的半身象,简直就象是坟山。
adj.神经病的,神经过敏的;n.神经过敏者,神经病患者
  • Nothing is more distracting than a neurotic boss. 没有什么比神经过敏的老板更恼人的了。
  • There are also unpleasant brain effects such as anxiety and neurotic behaviour.也会对大脑产生不良影响,如焦虑和神经质的行为。
