Marie: Well, I guess people who lived here before didn’t clean the bathtub.

Peter: You’re darn right!

Marie:What should I do now?

Peter: Don’t worry. I’ve got some acid 3 here. It’ll help dissolve 4 the hair down there.

Marie:Ur! It stinks 5!

Peter: Now you know you have to clean your bathtub every time you use it.

彼特: 下水道怎么了?

玛丽: 堵住了,水下不去。

彼特: 我看看。知道怎么回事吗?被头发堵住了。难怪水下不去。

玛丽: 嗯,我想以前在这里住的人不清理浴缸吧。

彼特:你算说对了!

玛丽:那我现在该做什么?

彼特: 别担心。我带了一些酸化水来。它会帮助把下面的头发溶解的。

玛丽:呃!好臭!

彼特: 现在你知道了吧,每次用完浴缸你都得清理。

注释

句子“You’re darn right!”中的“darn”原意为“织补”,但此词也有和“damn”相同的意思,属英美人的口头语,常用来表示不满意或愤怒,不能用于正式场合。

5.空调问题Air Conditioner Problem

Tina: Don’t you have air conditioning 1 in your apartment? It’s sweltering 2 here!

Jim: Well, there’s air conditioning. Did you see that window air conditioner 3 there? The problem is that the window unit isn’t powerful enough.

Tina:I guess not, huh.

Jim: Well, I’m going to move out anyway. The new apartment has central air conditioning.

Tina: You should’ve moved out long, long ago.

Jim: Well, I have to wait until the lease expires 4.

Tina: So... So how can you stand the heat?

Jim: Well, I open the windows and... and I’ve got an electric fan here. It helps a little.

Mary:Has Patrick moved out yet?

Kate: Yes. He moved out last weekend. He’s now living in a very nice quiet neighborhood 1.

Mary: I wonder if he’s paying more for rent now.

Kate: I don’t have the faintest 2 idea. Even so, it’s still worth it, isn’t it?

Mary: You’re right! I think he’s probably very glad to leave that noisy apartment.

Kate: Yes, he is. I know that for sure.

玛丽:帕特里克搬走了吗?

凯特: 嗯,他上周末搬走了。他现在的邻里们很是安静。

玛丽: 我在想他现在是不是得付更多的房租。

凯特: 不清楚。不过即便如此,不也很值吗?

玛丽: 对!我想他可能很高兴离开那个嘈杂的公寓。

凯特: 是的,他很高兴。这个我肯定。

注释

1. 句子“Even so, it’s still worth it, isn’t it?”中的“even so”表示“即便如此”,“so”指的是前句话中“paying more for rent”。

正确英语修习之 令人误解的句子

太好了。

(×)It’s nice.

“不错。”当别人问你有关他们的新房子的感想时,你这么回答,对方会觉得很没面子。因为这句话听起来不像你想得那样是在称赞别人。如果对方满怀期待地问你:Do you like my new house?(你觉得我的新房子如何?)而你只是冷冷地回答“差强人意吧。”或“还不错啊。”一定会让他/她觉得你这个人真不会说话,很失望。

(√)It really is nice.

It is really nice.

“真是太棒了。”只要简单加上really,马上就可以让人感到你充满诚意。

It’s so spacious.

如果要称赞对方的家很宽敞,就可以用这句,意思就是“你们家真宽敞啊。”带有羡慕之情。

Did you decorate it yourself?如果要称赞对方选家具的品味,就可以用这句,意思是“是你自己布置的吗?”。既称赞了房子,又称赞了对方,这样的妙语任谁听了都会非常高兴的。

精彩点拨

◆ what’s the matter 通常用于向他人或者对方询问某人/某事情的状况,一般可翻译为“怎么了”。还经常以 what’s the matter with sb. / sth. 的形式出现,这时则应翻译为“某人/某物怎么了”。

◆ (has the) cat got your tongue 的意思是“你怎么不说话”,一般用于当说话者期待某人说话时,比如在说话者提出某个问题后,而他却一直保持沉默,不作回应的情形。

俚语详说

blow one’s cover

暴露身份,揭穿秘密(使无法隐瞒)

解词释义

blow 是动词,意思是“吹”,cover 作名词时有“掩盖物,避身之处”之义,而俚语中blow one’s cover 表示“掀开掩盖物,暴露身份/秘密于人前”,可翻译为“暴露身份,揭穿秘密”。

寻根究底

1971年尼克松总统的国家安全顾问基辛格首次秘密访华,这件事非常隐秘,外界无人知道。在他与周恩来总理洽谈期间,本是来中国旅游度假的《纽约时报》名记者雷斯顿(James Reston)无意中得到了此消息,就此事进行了报道。雷斯顿说:基辛格和随员最忌我也在北京,生怕我会揭穿他的西洋镜(blow his cover)。

any of the new styles lately?

Linda: Yes, I brought a magazine to

show you. I like this one.

Hairdresser: Oh, that is pretty. Do you want to keep your hair this long? Or do you want to take it shorter? I think you would look cute with the short hair. Perhaps you could go even shorter than in the picture.

Linda: I’ll leave it up to you. Like I said, I’m ready for a change.

Hairdresser: OK. You should really think about getting some highlights 3 put in, too.

Linda: Do you think that would look good? I’m worried that it will make my hair look unnatural 4.

Hairdresser: No, it won’t. The highlights are very subtle. We can do a little bit this time. If you like it, we can do a little bit more next time. Otherwise 5, the highlights should grow out in about four weeks.

琳达: 你认为那样会好看吗?我担心那会使我的头发看起来不自然。

英语通:趣词趣语

金发男孩 Fair-haired Boy

英语俗语中,fair-haired boy 指父母特别宠爱的孩子,或者是单位上司、学校老师特别喜欢的人,也可以说是上司、老师面前的红人。

上学的时候,班里总会有那么几个学生深得某位老师的喜爱,倒不见得是他们成绩好或者表现佳,总之人家就是有办法成为老师面前的红人,让老师一看到就喜笑颜开。用英文可以这么表达:They are the teacher’s fair-haired boys.

Jim is really good for nothing, and he’s always behind schedule for his work. I can’t figure out what he did to become the boss’s fair-haired boy.

吉姆实在是一个一无是处的人,他老是不能按计划完成工作。我真是不明白他是怎么成为老板那里的红人的。

Lisa: Yes. I went to Hawaii on a vacation 1 with my husband.

Hairdresser: I will. How would you like your hair today? The same style as usual?

Lisa: I have a special party to attend tonight, and I’d like to change my style. Actually, I’m thinking about a perm 3. My sister is getting married next month. I think that if I have a perm now, I’ll look very natural by then. What do you say?

Hairdresser: That’s true. Here are some samples 4 of hairstyles 5. What do you think about this one?

Lisa: No, I don’t like short hair. I like this one. The wave 6 looks beautiful, and it fits my age too.

Lisa: No. You can take your time. Oh, I also want a manicure 7 while I’m having the perm.

Hairdresser: OK. The manicurist 8 will be right here.

英语通:成语

放松,不拘束 Let One’s Hair Down

在过去的西方,女性如果要外出或者与人见面,需要将头发挽起,梳成各种样式的发髻,或者梳成长辫,盘于头上或耳际。不论什么发型,她们绝不会让自己披头散发。因为这是一种礼节的表示,在英国要求特别严格。而唯一能让女性感到轻松、无所拘束的时刻,只有在自己的房间里,将头上的发饰、发簪都摘下来的时候。而“将头发放下”后来就引申为“轻松,舒适,不拘束”的意思,和头发已经没有关系了。

Linda always has a few drinks to let her hair down after work.

琳达下班后总会喝上几杯酒来放松自己。

3.皮肤护理Skincare

Julie: Hi, Mark, I know you’re an expert 1 in skincare 2.

Mark: Well, I wouldn’t say that, but I do know something. So, how can I help you?

Julie: I think I have oily skin and there’re always small bumps here and there on my face. How can I get rid of them? They’re really irritating 3!

Mark: Well, I would suggest that you wash your face often. Every night you should rinse 4 your face with lukewarm 5 water, then pat it dry with a clean towel. Make sure you don’t rub it dry. Then you apply this cream to your face.

Julie:Oh, this cream?

Mark: Yeah. It’s pretty effective in wiping out pore clogging dirt and oil. It rids your face of dead cells and helps stimulate 6 circulation 7.

Julie:Wow!

Mark: Oh, just use a small amount on the oily areas. Also, don’t rub it hard. Just dab it lightly.

Julie:I’ll keep that in mind!

Mark: Of course. Also, I would suggest you get a facial every four to six weeks for a deep cleaning.

朱莉: 嗨,马克,我知道你是皮肤护理的专家。

马克: 嗯,也不能这么说,只是知道一些皮毛而已。怎么了,需要什么帮助吗?

朱莉: 我想我是油性皮肤,总是有好多小痘痘在我脸上这里那里地冒出来。我怎么才能摆脱它们?它们真的很恼人!

马克: 好吧,我建议你要经常洗脸。每天晚上用温水洗脸,然后用干净的毛巾轻轻拍干。一定不要擦干。然后把这种面霜抹在脸上。

朱莉:哦,这种面霜?

马克: 是的。它对清除毛孔污垢和油腻很管用。它能清除你脸上的死细胞并促进细胞再生。

朱莉:哇!

马克: 哦,只要在出油的地方用一点就好。还有,别使劲擦。轻轻地拍就可以。

朱莉:我会记得的!

马克: 当然。还有,我建议你每隔四到六周就做一次面部按摩,深层清洁一下面部。

注释

固定搭配“get rid of…”的意思是“摆脱,除去”,如:For your health, you should get rid of smoking as soon as possible. 为了你的健康,你应该尽快戒烟。

英语通:趣词趣语

Powder-puff 是花拳绣腿?

powder puff 是“粉扑”的意思。粉扑松松软软,是美容化妆用品,但是 powderpuff 作为形容词却另有含义。举个例子,一位男士评论女子篮球运动说:

I thought women’s basketball was a powder-puff sport until I went to see my sister play. I was wrong-they dribble and pass better than men and they play tough defense too.

“在看妹妹打篮球前,我原以为女子篮球是‘粉扑运动’。我的看法错了——她们的运球和传球都胜过男运动员,而且她们的防守也很过硬。”

“粉扑运动”powder-puff sport 其实是妇女参加的体育运动。言下之意是难度低,竞争无力的,含义类似于中国成语“花拳绣腿。”

美国在七十至八十年代开始开放美式足球等传统的男性运动给女性时,曾一度称女子组的此等运动为“粉扑运动”。

4.穿着落伍Out of Style

Julie:Her dress looks funny 1.

Daniel: I wouldn’t say that. It looks fine to me.

Julie: Are you kidding? She’s behind the times. That style went out last year.

Daniel: Oh, come on, as long as it looks good on her.

Julie: Wow, you’re really as out-dated as she is.
