英语表达一般有俚语(slang)、行话(jargon)、习语(idiom)、以及谚语格言(proverb),你能分清吗?(参考资料thoughtco) 一、Slang(俚语) 1.解释 所谓俚语,指的是民间非正式、同时较口语化的语句。就是方言嘛, 某个地域的人才熟悉。 2.示例 ①emo - very emotional(非常情绪化) Don't be so emo. Your boyfriend will be back next week. ②frenemy - someone you think is your friend, but your know is really your enemy(某些看上去是朋友,但你知道其实是“敌人”的人) Has your frenemy got you worried?! ③groovy - very nice in a mellow(醇香的,柔和丰富的,老练的) sort of way .60年代的一句俚语。 Groovy man. 二、JARGON(行话) 1.解释 Jargon(行业术语,黑话)就是某个行业或职业的特殊表达,这个行业的人都知道,不分地域。 2.示例 ①cookies - used by programmers to track information on a user's computer that has accessed the internet. We set a cookie when you first access our site. IT程序员都知道 ②Birdie(低于标准杆的一击) - used by golfers to state that the golf ball was put into the hole with one less golf stroke than expected on a hole. Tim got two birdies on the back nine at the golf course. ③chest voice - used by singers to indicate a style of singing that has chest resonance(共振,共鸣) Don't push so hard with your chest voice. You'll hurt your voice! 三、IDIOM(成语,习语) 1.解释 Idioms可以说是我们的成语,一般从字面根本看不出它原来想表达的真正意思。和俚语不同,Idiom是被所有人都理解,而不是方言。所以我们要先***学Idioms. 2.示例 ①rain cats and dogs - rain very heavily. It's raining cats and dogs tonight. ②pick a language up - learn a language by living in a country. Kevin picked up a little Italian when he lived in Rome. ③break a leg - do well at a performance or presentation. Break a leg on your presentation John. 四、PROVERB(谚语) 1.解释 上面所说的俚语,行话,习语是指短语或词语,而谚语或格言通常意义上仅仅指完整的句子。 2.示例 ①The early bird gets the worm. - start working early and you will be successful. I get up at five and do two hours of work before I go to the office. The early bird gets the worm! ②When in Rome, do as the Romans. - when you are in a foreign culture, you should act like the people in that culture. I'm wearing shorts to work here in Bermuda! When in Rome, do as the Romans. ③You can't always get what you want. - This proverb means what is says, you can't always get what you want. The Rolling Stones knew how to put that to music! Stop complaining. You can't always get what you want. Learn to live with that truth! 如果这些英语知识,你觉得还不够,还想继续学点,那就来听课吧。乐知的在线英语课堂,注册个账号,就能进来免费旁听: http://www(dot)hiknow(dot)com/ *域名隐藏* ?uid=sophie看看外教是如何教国内的小伙伴们学英语的。
