今天继续《老友记》第一季第十七集。
1.吓死我了!
You scared the crap out of me!
难怪会有“吓屎我”了这种说法...
还可以这么说:
You scared the pants off me!
吓尿裤子了...……-
2.胆小鬼
Wuss!/Wussy!
注意不要滥用 coward, 个人觉得语气太重了。
3.爽约,让人空等
stand sb up
I can't believe she just stands me up.
我不敢相信她就这样放我鸽子。
前几集我们也学过一个爽约的词,记得吗?是bail on sb
4.设想一下最坏的情况
Worst case scenario.
scenario 是剧本,情节梗概的意思。这句话就是说,我们来个最坏的情况预演吧/最坏的情况不过是...
英语口语中有很多这样的用中心词或短句来替代长句的说法,比如上次学的big picture 和出现频率超高的Big deal!(多大点儿事)
5.假设/就算是 的一种表述方法
用say+句子, 跟suppose/even if+句子有点类似,如剧中钱德安慰担心自己成不了好爸爸的罗斯:
Say you never feel like a father, say your son never feels connected to you
6.blow off 的两种用法
其一,取消,与call off 同义。
We should blow off the date.
其二,甩了某人,blow sb off.
I can't believe she blew me off like that!
情场高手乔伊也有被甩的时候哈!
7.有超多意义的单词 nut
- 坚果
Nuts are good sources of vitamin E.
- ...迷
如 I am a football nut. 我是一个足球迷。 - 难缠的人/难对付的事
He is a tough nut.
As for me, speaking in front of thousands of people is the hardest nut to crack. - 疯子
There was some nut shouting all night over in the park. - go nuts=go crazy, 大发雷霆
My mum will totally go nuts if I hang out with you guys. - get/ be nuts about sth/sb 非常喜欢/迷恋某人/某事
Joey is nuts about you.
经典句子
Who do you put as your "In case of emergency" person?
在异国他乡的你,是否形单影只呢?谁又是你的紧急联络人呢?
