最直接的表达——习惯用语

       “当然!”怎么说?你会说:“Of course!"但如果你说:"You bet!"就更地道了。老美许多的习惯用语,不是想当然就会的!

喜  悦

        如果你会说这些表现喜悦的词句,你的英语可算是到家了!

万岁!               Hurray!
●Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!通常是连说三次。

成功了!          I (We) did it! / I (We) made it! / Way to go!
●Way to go! 是看到或听到别人成功时所说的。

太棒了!          Excellent! / Superb! / Splendid! /Magnificent! / Brilliant!

真高兴!          Hurray! / Delightful! Rah-rah-rah!

哇 !              Wow! / Yippee! / Wah!
●Wow! 或Wah! 是惊喜的语气,Yippee!表现的是期待趣事发生时的喜悦。

太好了!           Great! / Terrific! / Wonderful! / I'm glad it turned out so well ?穴that way?雪!
●Great! 与Terrific!是“事情这么顺利真是太好了”的意思,最后一句则是“事情如你所愿,真是太好了”的意思,带有庆幸的意味。

好棒!好酷!     Excellent! / Cool! / Oh, boy! / Yeah! / Goody gumdrops!
●Goody gumdrops! 是小孩子的常用语。

太酷了!          That's cool!

 

惊  喜

        惊奇是一瞬间的情绪表现,中英文在这方面的词汇同样是多彩多姿的。每个人多半有各自的习惯用法,以下介绍的都是经常听到的惊讶之语。

没这回事!       No way! / Impossible!
●年轻人最常使用的是No way!

这真是太神奇了!Great! / Wow! That's amazing! / Oh, my gosh!
●Gosh是God的委婉表述法,通常是女性用语。

你说什么?      What? / Huh? / What was that? / What did you say ?穴want?雪?!
●Huh?!的发音是?眼h?蘧?演(尾音上升); What was that? 则是强调What,而 What did you say ?穴want?雪?! 语调在语尾上升。

哪有这种事!       No! / Pooh! /Bah!
●No! 是“不可能有这种事”的意思。

我太惊讶了!    I am amazed ?穴impressed?雪! /Oh, my! / This is a surprise ?穴shock?雪!

不可能吧!       I can't believe it! / Unbelievable! / Who would have believed it?

你骗人!         You must be kidding! / You must be joking ?穴pulling my leg?雪! /Come on! / That ?穴just?雪 can't be!
●若照中文字面翻译为“You are lying”,表示你肯定对方在说谎,会叫人难堪得下不了台的!Come on! 的重音落在on上。


                  生   气
        有的人动不动就发火,有的人则爱生闷气。生气的方式表现出每个人的个性,不论是中文还是英文都是一样的。

闭嘴!            Shut up! / Shut your mouth! / Keep ?穴Be?雪 quiet!
●Shut up! / Shut your mouth! 是相当严厉的、不客气的表现方式。Keep ?穴Be?雪 quiet! 的前或后加上please可缓和语气。

太过分了!      That's awful ?穴terrible?雪! / That's too much! / That's mean!
●如要进一步强调严重性,可以用terrible。That's mean! 针对的是人而不是事。

●每一种都是不雅的表意方式,表示“可恶”、“糟糕”、“讨厌”等责骂的意思。

●和silly比起来,stupid有更加侮蔑的意思。

我生气了!       I'm mad! / That makes me angry ?穴mad?雪. / That's the last straw.
●the last straw来自“ the last straw that broke the camel's back.”“压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草”——表示最后的忍耐限度。

你真丢脸!      Shame on you! / You ought to be ashamed! / You should be ashamed of yourself!

                 责备、拒绝
        拒绝或责备都会伤害人际关系。如果你非说不可,就用最委婉的方式吧!

●一般人最常用Oh my God!但如果你不是基督教徒,最好还是不要这么说。另外,goodness的“d”通常是不发音的。How could you? 表现的是责备的心情。
 

                   放    弃       
    有些事情就是不得不放弃,虽然令人惋惜,但想一想That's life! (这就是人生),就连放弃的方式也是多彩多姿的呢!


没辙了!         It's can't be helped ?穴avoided?雪. /That's life. / We have no choice?穴alternative?雪. / There's nothing you ?穴we?雪 can do about it.

                   后    悔
     向别人表达自己的后悔之意并不容易。有时候是为自己的失败感到着急,或带有自责之意,或向对方表示自己做错了的反省之意。

完了!           Oh no! / Oops! / Uh-oh! / Darn?穴it!?雪 / Oh darn! / Oh dear!
●Uh-oh!将重音放在Uh。Darn是不雅的说法,是Damn的替代字,语气较Damn轻。

可惜!            That's too bad. / That's a ?穴real?雪 bummer! / Bummer! / There's always a next time.
●bummer是“失败之作”、“拙劣之作”的口语,近来年轻人之间经常可以听到。

我不在乎。      I don't care. / Who cares? / Whatever. /See if I care.
●See if I care虽是“怎样都好”的意思,但带有“实际上我很在意的”意味。

                  悲    伤
    表现悲伤的词汇相对较少,中外皆然。对悲伤的人表示过多的安慰并没有什么用处,只说一句How sad!其实就够了。

好可惜!          That's too bad! / What a pity! /How unfortunate!

真失望!          What a disappointment! / What a letdown!

    鼓励,给拼命争取荣誉的运动选手,给悲伤的人……用英语鼓励也是要看状况的。

加油!           Go for it! / Good luck! / Stick with ?穴to?雪 it!
●这些词汇多用于运动竞赛时的加油打气,另外还有Let's go, Tom.等用法,也相当常见。Let's work harder!虽带有勉励之意,但很容易变成“你不够努力”的暗讽,要特别注意。
