英语口语俚语 to put your foot in your mouth
有意无意做错事,说错话的情况是很经常的。下面我们要讲的一个俗语就是无意中说错了话而伤害了别人。这个俗语就是:to put your foot in your mouth。
例如:When Sally told that silly joke about the sailor with one leg she really put her foot in her mouth. She didn’t know the man across the dinner table had a brother at home in a wheelchair.
萨莉吃晚饭时说了一个笑话,她拿一个只有一条腿的水手开玩笑。她可不知道坐在饭桌对面那个人的哥哥就是个残废,行动都得靠轮椅。

英语俚语中最易误解的10个单词
1.dude(老兄,老哥) 很多人认为该词单指“花花公子,纨绔子弟”的意思,实际上此词是叫男性年轻人的常用词,与guy的意思相同,只是guy用的范围更广。例子:Hey dude look at that girl.(喂,老兄,看那个女孩)
2.chick(女孩) 容易被误解为“鸡,..,实际上此词是叫女孩的常用词,语气中确实有轻佻、不尊重的倾向。例子:Look at that chick at the door.(看门口的那个女孩)
3.pissed off(生气,不高兴) 千万别认为是“尿尿”的意思,piss off在字典中则是“滚开,滚蛋”的意思,实际上此词是表示“生气,不高兴”的意思,与angry同意。例子:Man,is that guy pissed of ?(哎呀,那家伙真的生气了)
4.Hey,Give me five(嗨,好啊!) 此短语非常流行,经常在大片中出现,常在击掌庆贺时用。例子:Hey,dude! Give me five!(嗨,老兄,好啊!)
5.freak out(大发脾气) 总是在片子中看到这个词,freak本义是“奇异的,反常的”的意思,但freak out是“大发脾气”的意思,out也可以省略,这个词在美语中很常见,老式说法是be very upset。例子:He’s gonna freak(他快要发脾气了)
6.Get out of here(别开玩笑了,别骗人了) 大家很容易联想到“滚开”的意思,其实,现在很多时候都用在“别开玩笑了,别骗人了”的意思里,在美国片子中常可以听到。例子:(Man:)You look very beautiful(你很漂亮)(Girl)Get out of here.(别骗了)
7.gross(真恶心) 此词不是“混乱”的意思,字典中gross是“总的,毛重的”的意思,实际上此词是表示“恶心”的意思与gag相近,是美国年轻人一天到晚挂在嘴边的词。例子:Yuck, what is this stuff?It looks gross.(哎呀,这是什么东西?真恶心)
8.Hello(有没有搞错) 并不总是打招呼的意思,有时是“有没有搞错”的意思,要根据上下文来判断。例子:Hello,anybody home,we’ll be late!(有没有搞错, 我们要迟到了) 9.green(新手,没有经验) 不是“绿色”的意思,也不是“生气”的意思,有时表示“新手,没有经验”。例子:She’s really green,she looks nervous.(她是新手,看起来很紧张)
10.Have a crush on someone(爱上某人) 由于crush是“压碎,碾碎”的意思,因此整个短语容易被误解为“对某人施加压力”的意思,实际上此词表示“爱上某人”,与fall in love with 同意。例子:She thinks she has a crush on John.(她认为她爱上约翰了)

3. pay through the nose
按字面解释,pay through the nose就是通过鼻子来付钱,这听起来似乎很痛苦,而实际上,pay through the nose的确切意思是付出比真正的价值高得多的钱,也可以说是付出的钱实在太多而让人感到心痛。

grindstone是“磨刀石”的意思。这个表达很形象,按字面意思来看,是说鼻子对着磨刀石。想象一下一个人低着头磨刀的样子,的确给人一种埋头苦干的直观印象啊。而且这个短语用动词keep表达一种持续的状态,把“埋头”的意思更生动地表达了出来。

eg. Hey, it’s no skin of my nose if Susie’s going out now with that guy! I don’t care what she does —I broke up with her a month ago, when I met Helen.

eg. If you resign to inconvenience your boss, you are cutting off your nose to spite your face.

据说,明代才子解缙幼年家住曹尚书府第竹园对面,在家门上贴了一副对联:“门对千竿竹,家藏万卷书。”曹尚书不忿自己的园景给他借用,于是叫人把竹砍短,最后索性全部砍去。解缙见了,随即把对联改为“门对千竿竹短无,家藏万卷书长有”。曹尚书不但没有难倒解缙,而且空自毁了自家的竹林,用英文来形容就是cut off one’s nose to spite one’s face。

篇4:英语口语:美国俚语
somebody's cup of tea
英国人对茶情有独钟,无论什么饮品都代替不了茶在他们心中的位置。因此somebody's cup of tea指的就是to be something that one prefers or desires 对某人胃口的东西,使某人感兴趣的东西。
例句:Football/Opera/Chemistry is not his cup of tea. 足球/歌剧/化学可不是他的爱好。
This spy novel is just my cup of tea. 这本侦探小说正对我的胃口。
a storm in a tea cup
这是18世纪法国哲学家孟德斯鸠的一句名言。有一次他听说圣马力诺发生了一场.就用了a storm in a tea cup这个比喻来形容整个事件。圣马力诺是欧洲最小的共和国,人口稀少,因此孟德斯鸠认为那里的.整个欧洲局势无关紧要。If someone exaggerates a problem or makes a small problem seem far greater than it really is, then they are making a storm in a teacup. 顾名思义,“茶杯里的风暴”自然算不得什么大事,所以就被用来表示“小题大做,大惊小怪”的意思。
例句:That couple often quarrel, but it is a storm in a tea cup. 那对夫妻经常吵架,没什么大惊小怪的。
Storm in a teacup是大惊小怪的英式 英语 表达,美式英语的说法是tempest in a teapot。此外,
大惊小怪相似的说法还有:a storm in a cream-bowl,a tempest in a glass of water,a storm in a hand-wash basin.
例句:Our bloody-minded foreman wouldn't give us a tea break. 我们残忍的工头不给我们工间茶休的时间。
a tea hound
在茶话会、舞会或各种社交场合,总有些喜欢追逐漂亮女子并对她们大献殷勤的家伙。这类花花公子就被称为tea hounds 爱交际的男子。
例句:John is much mature now, I think he's no longer a tea hound. 约翰现在成熟多了,我想他不再是爱交际的花花公子了。
tea break
饮茶一直被英国人看作是一种悠闲和舒适的享受。英国人喝茶的时间比较固定,不像我们那样随时随地都可以喝茶。他们习惯于三餐两茶,每天工作、学习一段时间后,喜欢停下来休息一刻钟左右,喝杯茶,吃些点心,补充体力。这段时间叫做tea break(茶休):an intermission from work, usually in the middle of the morning or afternoon, for a cup of tea, a snack, etc.。茶休有morning tea(上午茶)和afternoon tea(下午茶)之分:上午茶一般在十点半左右;下午茶一般在下午四五点钟。
茶休的习惯源于英国18世纪的一位贝德芙公爵夫人安娜。她每天在午餐和晚餐之间总会感到有点饥饿,于是就在每天下午四点到五点之间邀请三五位知心好友,来喝点茶吃点点心。再后来就演变为“上下午工间或课间吃茶点的休息时间”。这种茶休在英国可是雷打不动的小憩时间。
