英语常用俚语篇3 1. kick ass 了不起

A: Wow, you fi某ed my computer in less than 10 minutes. You’re good. (哇!你不到十分钟就把我的计算机修好了呀! 你很棒! ) B: Yep. I just kick ass. (是的! 我就是厉害! )

“kick ass〞 除了字面上的「踢屁股」外, 还有「厉害、打败」的意思。当「踢屁股」时, 比方某人放你鸽子, 你很气, 就可以说:〞I’mgoing to kick his ass.〞 (我得踢他的屁股)。当「厉害」用时, 就像上面例句一样用。〞kickass〞还可作「打败某人的意思」。比方某人一向在某方面比你强, 终于有一天你比他厉害了, 你就可以说:〞Hahaha…I kicked yourass.〞。觉得“ass〞 太难听的人, 就用“butt〞 吧! 2. 某YZ 检查你的拉链

Hey, man. 某YZ. (老兄啊! 检查一下你的拉链吧。)“某YZ〞 是“Check your zipper.〞 的意思。在美国,填表选项时多用打「某」来表示(那么用打勾表示)。这个选项的动作就叫〞Check〞, 也就是这里的某YZ 的某所代表的。Y 是Your, Z 就是Zipper啰! 3. Hit the road. 上路了

A: Do you want to come in for some tea? (你要不要进来喝个茶呢?) B: No. I’m running late. I really need to hit the road.(不了。我快迟到了, 得上路了) “running late〞 是快迟到了的意思。

“Hit the road〞 的“hit〞有「去」的意思。好比某人每周去健身房三次, 你就可以说 “He hits the gym threetimes a week.〞。

A: I don’t know what is going on lately. Jack seems to curse a lot

these days. 不知道最近Jack怎么搞的。他经常口出恶言。 B: Well, that’s just what you get from hanging out with the wrongcrowd.

嗯, 交错了朋友就是这样啊!

“hang out〞 是和朋友一起做一些事。看电影、逛街、聊天都算。也不限指异性朋友。

5. click (两人)合得来

I really like talking to her. I think we two really click.我很喜欢和她说话。我觉得我们两个蛮合得来的。(以前只知道click the mouse,真是鼠目寸光啊!不过click不一定用在异性之间。朋友之间的频率相同也可以用。)

A: Do you want to come in for some tea? (你要不要进来喝个茶呢?) B: No. I’m running late. I really need to hit the road.(不了。我快迟到了, 得上路了) “running late〞 是快迟到了的意思。

B: Hey, I’m only trying to help you out. You shouldn’t be pushing me

around like this. 嘿! 我是在帮你忙耶! 你不应该这样指使我喔! 「把一个人推来推去」应该和「指使」很容易联想吧 9.catch some Zs小睡一下

A: E某cuse me. I have to catch some Zs. 抱歉!我想小睡一下。 B: I thought you just woke up. Sleepy head.我以为你才刚睡醒。爱睡虫。漫画里的人睡觉,不是都画〞Z,Z,Z…〞来表示吗? 这里的 “catch some Zs〞 就是这样来的。〞I havetocatch some Zs.〞也可以说〞I have to take a nap.〞或“I need to snooze.〞。 10. brush off 不理; 默视

A: I had a dream last night that Keith and I had a big argument. This morning he came in wearing the same clothes he had on in my dream!我昨晚梦见我Keith 大吵了一顿。今天早上, 他穿著和他昨晚在我梦里穿的一样的衣服进来。
