1、"我请客":觉得我们常用pay这个词,如Let me pay it for you。这里列举三种说法:I am buying;This is on me;This is all my bill。 2、one-time thing:帅哥跟一美女过了一夜,回来后室友问帅哥:Do you really love her?帅哥回答:Oh, it was just a one-time thing!那么one-time thing是什么呢?我就不罗嗦喽! 3、"向前看!":我们会说Look forward!而美语里有个更贴切的说法是Eyes front!"眼睛朝前",是不是很生动? 4、"头等大事":你会怎么翻译呢?The most important thing吗?看这个吧"It's on the top of my list"。 5、"停电":No electricity?恩,够直白!其实提到"电",老外更多是用power,停电就可以是Ther is a power failure或Power goes out。 6、"我不是傻子!":I am not a fool?对,语法完全正确。但再看这个I am no fool。比上面的只少两个字母,但是不是感觉不一样?同样的道理,我们常说I have no idea,而不常说I dont have any idea。 7、short hairs:是说"短头发"吗?呵呵,它就是我们说的"小辫子"! 8、"收买某人":有个比较正式的词叫bribe,名词时为"贿赂"的意思,动词时就有"收买"之意。既然提到了"买",那么我们能不能用上buy呢?当然,那就是buy sb off。 9、She knew red was her color。"她知道红色是她的颜色"?恰当的翻译是:她知道自己和红色很相配。Then, what's your color? 10、"看在主的份上,你就......":两种说法,其一是For the love of God,另外For God's sake(sake的意思是缘故、关系)二者之中,后者更常用。 • I have a sweet tooth. 我喜欢吃甜食; I don't like splitting hairs. 我不爱斤斤计较 • Don't sell yourself short 别看轻自己; Try to have a mind of your own 做有主见的人 • It slipped my mind. 我忘了; You have my word. 我保证; It's a hit. 这件事很受人欢迎。 • Everything would have all right if you hadn't said that 假如你没那样说,一切都好办 • That's always the case. 习以为常了; • You've got a point there. 你说得挺有道理的。 • You'd better wise up.放聪明点; It's up to you.由你决定; Suit me fine!太适合我了! • He always talks big.他总是吹牛; She had a bad cold.她患了重感冒; My treat.我请客。 • a knock out(俚)美得让人倾倒; a short fuse(俚)脾气火爆; Watch out!(口)当心! • Patience is a mark of confidence.耐心是自信心的一种表现。 • You owe me one.你欠我一个人情。 As soon as possible! 越快越好! • once in a blue moon稀罕; •two left feet笨手笨脚; •stop and smell the roses享受生活。 • What is worth doing is worth doing well.只要你觉得某事值得去做,就一定要把它做好。 • Early rising makes for good health.早起有助于身体健康。 • It rained at intervals this month.这个月不时地下雨。 • This movie is realistic.I don't care for it very much.这部电影是写实的,我不太喜欢。 • A day is a miniature of eternity.(Emerson)一天是永恒的缩影(爱默生) • Your future depends on your dreams.So go to sleep.现在的梦想决定你的将来,所以还是再睡会儿吧。 • Maybe I could run some errands for you.也许我能为你做些什么。
