下次想说OK时,试试用mKay来代替
英语课
简单好记的OK是人们日常对话中不可或缺的常用词汇。但你知道吗?除了OK,其实mKay也能表达“好的、可以、没问题”这些意思,还常替代OKay用在对话中。
Mkay is a non-standard spelling of Okay, representing an informal pronunciation, typically used at the end of a statement to invite agreement, approval, or confirmation 1. It's made popular by Mr. Mackey on the Comedy Central animated 2 sitcom 3 South Park. It can be used in place of OK.
Mkay是Okay(行,好)的不规范拼法,代表一种非正式发音,通常用在句尾来征求同意、认可或进行确认。这一说法因美国喜剧频道播放的动画情景喜剧“南方公园”里的麦基先生流行起来。mKay可以用来代替OK。
Mkay的美式发音为/m:'kei/,除了mkay,mkay、mmkay、mmmkay也有相同的意思,其实读读这个词,你就能体会到说它时随意的感觉。
For example:
Just leave us some flowers by the door and we'll pick them up later, mkay?
在门口给我们留点花,我们之后把花拿走,行吗?
又如:
Come back in a few hours, mkay? 几小时后回来好吗?
有时,这个词还用来表达一种讽刺或居高临下的感觉:
Drugs are bad, mkay? 毒品不好,是吧?
n.证实,确认,批准
- We are waiting for confirmation of the news.我们正在等待证实那个消息。
- We need confirmation in writing before we can send your order out.给你们发送订购的货物之前,我们需要书面确认。
adj.生气勃勃的,活跃的,愉快的
- His observations gave rise to an animated and lively discussion.他的言论引起了一场气氛热烈而活跃的讨论。
- We had an animated discussion over current events last evening.昨天晚上我们热烈地讨论时事。
