【绝望的主妇】我的天,原来stick it不能随便乱说,居然是脏话?

【绝望的主妇】我的天,原来stick it不能随便乱说,居然是脏话?

英语老师瑶瑶

【句子】Yesterday. Told Peterson he could stick it. 【Desperate Housewives S01E23】 【发音】/ˈjes.tə(r).deɪ/ /təʊld/ /ˈpiː.tə(r)sən/ /hiː/ /kʊd/ /stɪk/ /ɪt/ 【发音技巧】Told Peterson闪音+失去爆破;could stick it不完全爆破+连读; 【翻译】(我辞职)就在昨天。我告诉Peterson,我可去他的吧。 【适用场合】 今天节目中我们要学习的表达是: stick it 这个表达很口语化,在有些场合中的stick it是非常不文明的话,非常粗鲁,有点类似于:“去你的。” If you tell someone to stick something or where they can stick something, it means that you do not want to keep that thing. 或者 Do whatever you like with it, I don't want it. 这个理解还是很契合今天的视频上下文的。 eg: "I've had enough of working here, " she said, "You can stick your job!" “我受够在这里工作了,”她说,“去你的烂工作!” 类似于口语中经典的f word的用法。 有一个类似的表达,叫:shove it up one's ass,也是这样的用法和意义,也是大家平时避免要使用的粗鲁语言。 eg: Do that job all over again? Why don't you stick it? 那工作又要重新做一遍?去你的! eg: Tell the chef he can take this fish and shove it up his ass. 跟那位主厨说,这盘鱼太难吃了,去他的! 【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 -- They said they wanted your bike. -- Tell them to stick it.

【绝望的主妇】in your face还有这个意思?

【绝望的主妇】in your face还有这个意思?

英语老师瑶瑶

【句子】Yes, in your face! That is 20-zip. Game. Out! 【Desperate Housewives S01E23】 【发音】/jes/ /ɪn/ /jə(r)/ /feɪs/ /ðæt/ /ɪz/ /ˈtwen.ti/ /zɪp/ /geɪm/ /aʊt/ 【发音技巧】That is连读+闪音; 【翻译】没错,看到没?比分是20比0,游戏结束,你出局了! 【适用场合】 今天节目中我们要学习的有两个表达: 1. 首先,在口语中,in your face 是什么意思呢? 这个短语意思比较多,来看看在今天视频中它对应的英文解释: An aggressive exclamation of triumph said after the speaker has defeated one or proven one wrong. Although rude, the phrase is often used jocularly, without actual hostility. 在口语中,经常是说话的人在打败对方获得胜利的时候,或者说话的人成功证明别人是错的的时候,说的一句话。这话在大部分场合下,听起来会有点粗鲁,但不是真的对对方充满敌意,只是打趣说的,有点诙谐、幽默的感觉。 有点像:“嚯,看吧,输给我了吧!”“没办法我就是这么厉害!”或者“就说你不行的呀!”这样的意思。 eg: You said I wouldn't make the team, and guess who's the newest member of the team? Yeah, that's right, in your face! 你曾经说,我不会被选到这个队,呵,猜猜谁是这支队伍的最新成员?哈,没错,就是你面前的这个人,我! eg: I told Janet I would get that promotion before she did. In her face! 我之前就跟Janet说过,我会在她之前被提拔,哈,没错吧! (所以短语中的your也可以换成其他的形容词性物主代词,比如his,her) eg: I beat you, just as I predicted—in your face! 我打败了你,看吧,跟我之前预测的一样吧! 看吧,跟我之前预测的一样吧,你成了我的手下败将。 2. 再来看第二个表达:谈到zip,很多人可能想到的都是拉链,其实它可以在美式口语中表示nothing,“什么都没有,”这个单词如果出现在描述比分的时候,就相当于zero,很常见。 eg: I know zip about computers. 就相当于I know nothing about computers. 我对电脑一窍不通,完全不懂。 eg: The Dolphins are leading the Giants fourteen to zip (= by fourteen points to nothing). 海豚队以14:0的极大优势战胜了巨人队。(14分比0分) eg: A: "Did any payments come through today?" B: "Zip. I don't know how we're going to pay our rent." A:“今天有进账吗?” B:“一毛都没有。我都不知道咱们的房租要怎么付。” eg: I knew I did horribly on that test, but I can't believe I actually scored zip. 我知道我那次考试表现很差劲,但是我不敢相信,我居然真的得了零分。 eg: There was no mail today. Nothing. Zip. 今天没有邮件,一封都没有。 顺嘴说一句:今天关键句中的Game out. 到底是什么意思呢? 经过我们和其实这是口语中不太规范的一种说法,原本说完整应该是:Game over. You’re out. 游戏结束,你出局了! 所以这个大家就不用纠结了。 【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 最终的比分是27比0。
