口語(yǔ):“失寵”你知道怎么說(shuō)嗎?
表達(dá):fall fromgrace:失寵

Eg. And once having fallen fromgracehe found it hard to climb back into favor again.
一旦失寵之后,他發(fā)現(xiàn)很難重新得寵

口語(yǔ):“馬屁精”這么說(shuō)!
地道表達(dá):
brown-nose:獻(xiàn)殷勤,拍馬屁
解詞釋義:
brown-nose的本意是“棕色的”。在西方人看來(lái),鼻子之所以成為棕色的是由于拍馬匹造成的。因?yàn)樵摿?xí)語(yǔ)引申為“拍馬屁,獻(xiàn)殷勤”。名詞為“拍馬屁、獻(xiàn)殷勤的人”,也可作動(dòng)詞使用。
支持范例:
Jack is a brown-nose and none of his colleagues likes him in the company.
杰克是個(gè)馬屁精,公司里沒(méi)有一個(gè)同事喜歡他。
I don't like Peter. He's such a brown-nose.
我不喜歡彼得。他真是個(gè)馬屁精。
Tom is so good at brown-nosing the boss.
但是他最擅長(zhǎng)的是拍老板的馬屁。
地道口語(yǔ):“防微杜漸”怎么表達(dá)?
短語(yǔ)釋義:
Nip in thebud消滅于萌芽狀態(tài)。園藝學(xué)家早就證實(shí)為了結(jié)出飽滿的花朵或果實(shí),農(nóng)夫必須拔除多余的芽苞 以免其吸收過(guò)多的養(yǎng)分。而被拔除的芽苞是絕不會(huì)長(zhǎng)出果實(shí)的。所以nip in the bud 有“防患未然,防微杜漸”之意。Nip是“剪斷”、“摘取”;bud是“蓓蕾”。 蓓蕾還未成熟就給采下來(lái),哪里還有開花機(jī)會(huì)呢?Remember: nip in the bud表示:防患于未然;消滅于萌芽狀態(tài)。 能知錯(cuò)就改的人是不錯(cuò)的,但是,如果能自己發(fā)現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤,并立刻改正,這就高了一個(gè)境界。
eg:
A: My fourteen-year-old son has just started smoking. What should I do?
我那十四歲的兒子開始抽煙了,我該怎么辦呢?
B: Ask him to stop right away. Bad habits should be nipped in thebud.
叫他別再抽了。壞習(xí)慣應(yīng)該防微杜漸,也就是說(shuō)應(yīng)該被消滅在萌芽狀態(tài)。
口語(yǔ):和美國(guó)人溝通談話秘籍
你需要記住的是:
* Most Americans only speak English: While it is true that more and more Americans speak Spanish, most Americans only speak English. Don't expect them to understand your native language.
大部分美國(guó)人只說(shuō)英語(yǔ):現(xiàn)在越來(lái)越多的美國(guó)人能說(shuō)西班牙語(yǔ)是事實(shí),但是大部分的美國(guó)人只說(shuō)英語(yǔ),所以別指望他們能聽(tīng)懂你的母語(yǔ)。
* Americans have difficulties understanding foreign accents: Many Americans are not used to foreign accents. This requires patience from both of you!
美國(guó)人聽(tīng)外國(guó)口音有困難:很多美國(guó)人不習(xí)慣外國(guó)口音,所以你們交談雙方都需要有耐心。
Conversation Tips
交談溝通秘籍
* Speak about location: Americans love to talk about location. When speaking to a stranger, ask them where they are from and then make a connection with that place. For example: "Oh, I have a friend who studied in Los Angeles. He says it's a beautiful place to live." Most Americans will then willingly talk about their experiences living or visiting that particular city or area.
談?wù)摰攸c(diǎn):美國(guó)人喜歡談?wù)摰攸c(diǎn)。和陌生人說(shuō)話的時(shí)候,可以問(wèn)問(wèn)他們從哪里來(lái)然后找到自己跟那個(gè)地方的聯(lián)系。比如可以說(shuō):“啊,我有個(gè)朋友在洛杉磯學(xué)習(xí),他說(shuō)那地方很漂亮!边@時(shí)大部分美國(guó)人就會(huì)很愿意談起他們居住或者到過(guò)那個(gè)特殊的地方或地區(qū)的經(jīng)歷。
* Talk about work: Americans commonly ask "What do you do?". It's not considered impolite (as in some countries) and is a popular topic of discussion between strangers.
談?wù)摴ぷ鳎好绹?guó)人通常會(huì)問(wèn)“What do you do?”在某些國(guó)家會(huì)被認(rèn)為這是不禮貌的,但美國(guó)不是的.,這只是陌生人之間聊天的一個(gè)流行話題。
* Talk about sports: Americans love sports! However, they love American sports. When speaking about football, most Americans understand "American Football", not soccer.
談?wù)撨\(yùn)動(dòng):美國(guó)人超愛(ài)運(yùn)動(dòng)!不過(guò),他們喜歡美國(guó)的運(yùn)動(dòng)。如果說(shuō)到football,大部分美國(guó)人會(huì)理解成橄欖球而不是足球。
* Be careful when expressing ideas about race, religion or other sensitive topics: The United States is a multi-cultural society. Especially in the last few years, Americans are trying very hard to be sensitive to other cultures and ideas. Talking about sensitive topics like religion or beliefs, is often avoided in order to be sure not to offend someone of a different belief system. This is often referred to as being "politically correct".
說(shuō)到種族、宗教或者其他敏感話題要小心:美國(guó)是一個(gè)多文化的社會(huì)。特別是近幾年,美國(guó)人對(duì)其他文化和觀點(diǎn)非常特別的敏感。像宗教或者信仰之類的敏感話題通常都不會(huì)在談話中提及,以免冒犯別人。這就是經(jīng)常被提到的“政治正確”。
你住在“fat city”嗎?
釋義:
fat本義是“油膩的”,引申為“富裕的,茂盛的”,而city是泛指“地方,地域”。fat city原意是“極為舒適的生活環(huán)境,富!保笠隇椤笆孢m成功的條件”。
Eg.
You can tell that thatguyis in fat city .
看得出那個(gè)男孩生活富裕。
You can tell by their car that they are in fat city.
看他們的車你就能知道他們生活富裕。
We used to live a dog's life, but now we are in fat city.
那時(shí)我們過(guò)著豬狗不如的生活,如今大家都富裕起來(lái)了。
She gathered up the gold coins, carried them away and was in fat city for the rest of her life.
她拾起金幣帶走,從此她一生都過(guò)著非常富裕的生活。
