时间:2019-02-20 作者:英语课 分类:美国文化脱口秀
明星情侣Miley Cyrus和Liam Hemsworth终成眷属,Miley饱含真情的告白情书也在美国社交媒体上大火。今天我们就来看看如何用英语写一封真挚动人的情书。
Happy birthday to my #1
Liam Hemsworth 29岁生日之际,Miley Cyrus在推特上发布了一条birthday message(生日祝福),用词简单却道尽爱意。
L, HBD to my #1... L, 生日快乐,我最爱的人...
给亲密的家人、爱人、朋友写信时,可以用他们名字的头文字代替全称以表达爱意。但不是任何人都能这样称呼,如果关系不够亲密,这样称呼会传递错误的讯息,造成误会。HBD是"happy birthday"的缩写。#1即Number 1,心中的第一位。
When we met you were 19, today, you are 29…
我们初次相遇时你19岁,今天,你29岁…
2009年因电影《The Last Song》结缘,两人经历了订婚、分手、和他人恋爱、复合,最终又结婚。英语中形容“分分合合”可以这样说:
On and off 1: 断断续续,分分合合
The pair have been on and off ever 2 since 3. 这对情侣之后经历了许多分分合合。
I thought 4 I could 5 share 6 some of my favorite 7 things about my favorite dude.
想和大家分享一些我最喜欢的事情,关于这个我最爱的男人。
Dude: 男人,小伙子
这是一个非常口语的用法,千万不要称呼老板“dude”。
