   今天说说英语里最简单、也最复杂的两个词:“爱”和“恨”,英语的用法和中文很不一样!听Jenny, Adam教你如何使用英语的爱恨情仇!


  关键词:
  Love: 爱
  Hate: 恨
  The use of "love" and "hate" in English is completely different from Chinese: 爱、恨在英语里的用法和中文非常不同
  It's nowhere near the same: 大相径庭、完全不同
  比如:如果你听到"I love you",你的第一反应是?
  "So sweet!"
  "I love you too!"
  但是,美国人的反应是:
  Love是一颗炸弹!
  大家记得最近节目放过一首歌"Something stupid"吗?
  歌词有一句:
  Then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you"
  Why is saying "I love you" stupid? 说“我爱你”怎么会很傻呢?
  Isn't it sweet? 不是很甜蜜吗?
  We call it "drop the L bomb": 英语有个说法,叫扔L炸弹
  Too much too soon: 压力太大、来得太快
  Americans tend to be very careful when it comes to saying "I love you": 美国人对说“我爱你”特别谨慎
  但是,日常生活中,美国人却常把love挂在嘴边
  比如吃汉堡:
  McDonald's slogan "I'm lovin' it": 麦当劳的广告语“我就喜欢”
  口语里,“love”还能怎么用?
  I loved that movie. It was the best! 我太喜欢那部电影了,真好看!
  Did you see the show? 你看那个节目了吗?
  Yes, I totally love it! 看了,太喜欢了!
  How is the food? 菜好吃吗?
  I love it! Just love it! 好吃!我太喜欢了!
  上面这些日常情况,中文基本都会用“喜欢”表达情绪;可是英语却要用“love".
  如果用“I like it", 反而容易造成误解!
  Why?为什么?
  "I like it" or "I like it very much" doesn't sound very sincere or enthusiastic: 我喜欢、我非常喜欢在英语里听起来反而有点不真诚、没什么热情
  总之:
  表达你非常喜欢一个事物,大家记得用love!
  家人之间的love
  "Love" is also used a lot between family members, parents and kids: love在亲人、父母、孩子之间也很常用
  I don't think I've ever said "我爱你" to my parents: 我好像从来没对我父母说过“我爱你”
  It feels so awkward 1. I don't know how to say it: 感觉很尴尬,不知怎么开口
  My parents don't really say it to me either: 我爸爸妈妈好像也不会跟我说
  But I say "mommy loves you" to my sons all the time: 但是,我倒常用英语跟孩子说“mommy loves you"
  I don't really say it in Chinese though, feels really awkward: 但是我不太用中文跟他们说“妈妈爱你”,也觉得很尴尬
  Maybe when it's not your mother tongue, it's easier to say: 有可能不是自己的母语,反而更容易说
  不过有些美国人也觉得对家人说"I love you"有点儿别扭
  WASPs 3 don't say it as much: 英国血统的美国人好像没那么常说“I love you"
  WASP 2 (White Anglo Saxon Protestant): 新教徒的盎格鲁撒克逊裔美国人
  They are more reserved: 他们比较含蓄
  Sons don't say "I love you" as much as daughters: 还有儿子,也不像女儿那么愿意对父母说"I love you"
  Girls, even grown-up girls say it all the time to their parents: 女儿,就算是成年了,也常跟父母说“I love you"
  你误解了love和hate的含义
  说完love, 说hate
  中文“恨”是个特别强烈的字,日常很少用。
  但是英语的hate口语却很常用。
  基本,刚才所有用love的例子,也可以很自然地用hate。
  比如:
  I hated that movie. It was so bad. 那部电影太难看了,我一点儿都不喜欢。
  It has been raining non-stop. I hate this weather! 天天下雨,天气太讨厌了!
  Traffic is so bad. I hate it! 路真堵,烦死了!
  所以,hate在口语里,更多是“讨厌”的意思,而不是恨。
  To hate a person?
  用在人身上呢?
  Be careful with using "hate" on people: 用在人身上,要特别谨慎
  You can use it jokingly with your friends: 也许跟很好的朋友,可以用调侃的语气
  比如:
  A: My husband is taking me on a trip to Italy! 我老公要带我去意大利玩儿
  B: Oh, I hate you! 哦,我恨你!羡慕、嫉妒、恨
  But in general, hate is a very strong word if you use it on people: 不过总的来说,hate用在人身上,语气是很强的
  之前说到hate在口语里有“讨厌”的意思,那“真讨厌!”英语怎么说?
  I hate it when you ...: 英语通常会说那个具体的行为
  But it's still pretty direct and strong: 不过语气还是挺直接、强烈的
  When a Chinese girl says "你真讨厌",it's mostly being coquettish: 中国女生说“你真讨厌”,经常是在撒娇
  Cutesy: 嗲、撒娇
  A love hate relationship | 爱恨交织
  A love hate relationship with someone or something: 又爱又恨、爱恨交加的关系
  怎么用?
  I have a love hate relationship with my phone: 我对手机真是又爱又恨
  A love hate relationship with your work/your boss: 对于自己的工作、对于自己的老板,大概也有些爱恨交织的情绪
  Many foreigners have a love hate relationship with China: 很多外国人,对中国也是爱恨交织
  *大家注意不是A love and hate relationship;
  而是A love hate relationship*
  Love hate的另一个高段位用法
  Love to hate: 又爱又恨、欲罢不能
  Especially true with celebrities 4: 大众看明星,经常都有这种情绪
  Kim Kardashian is someone many Americans love to hate: 比如卡戴珊,美国人就是love to hate
  They hate her for being so high-profile, but they love to read news about her: 很多人讨厌她高调、作秀,但同时又特别爱看她的八卦新闻
  They can't get enough of her: 欲罢不能
  Is there a Chinese celebrity 5 who people love to hate? 中国有这样的明星吗?
