不是“我是屁眼。”的意思。没错,anal 的字面意思的确是“肛门的”,比如anal
sex 肛交。但I’m anal却是“我有洁癖”的意思。
[剑桥辞典] 对anal的定义:a. (= anal retentive) 整洁成癖的;过分注重细节的
describes someone who is too worried about being organized and tidy (Also
anally retentive) 例句:
1. We are all aware of his anal fondness for filing.
我们都知道他极度热衷整理文件的怪癖。
2. “Why are you folding clothes?”“Because I'm anal.”
“你为啥叠衣服?”“因为我有洁癖。”
3. Don't you think Adrian's a bit anally retentive? Look how obsessively
orderly everything is in his garage.
你不觉得阿德里安有点洁癖吗?你看看他车库里的东西全都摆放得那么整齐,太过头了。
呵呵,第一次学,会让人联想翩翩,I’m anal? = I’m an anus? I’m an asshole?
(我是个混蛋?) 其实不是的,一查字典才知道是“洁癖”的意思。
***I’m game!***
不是“我是游戏!”。I’m game! 等同于 “Count me in, I’m gonna give it a
try 算我一个,我要试一下!”
[剑桥辞典] 对game 的定义:a. 愿意尝试的;有冒险精神的willing to do things
that are new, risky or difficult. 例句:
1. It was a difficult challenge, but Roberta was game.
这是个难度很高的挑战,但是罗伯塔很乐于尝试一下。
2. She's game for anything. = She dares try anything.
任何事情她都愿意尝试。
3. I'm game for any risk.
我可以冒任何风险。
4. We need a volunteer for this, who's game to try?
我们需要一个志愿者,谁敢试试?
***tone deaf***
不能直译为“声调聋了”,而是“五音不全”的意思。
***make do***
make do 不是迫使某人做某事,不是 make sb do sth,更不是“做做”的意思,虽然
make 和do都有“做”的意思。
[剑桥辞典] 对make do的定义:凑合,将就to manage to live without things that
you would like to have or with things of a worse quality than you would like
:例句:
1.We didn't have cupboards so we made do with boxes.
我们没有橱柜,只好将就用箱子了。
***have somebody’s number***
不是“有某人的电话号码”,而是“摸透(某人)的底;对(某人)心中有数”
[剑桥辞典]:to know a lot about someone and so have an advantage over them
***keep to oneself***
不是“保留给自己”,而是“不合群”
[剑桥辞典]:tonot talk to other people very much
***get it over with***
= to finish something once and for all 一劳永逸
***My two cents***
不是“我的两分钱”,而是“我的建议”的意思。例句:
1. My two cents is that you should sell that stock now.
我建议你现在卖掉那支股票。
[维基百科] 解释其出处:"My two cents/ my two pennies (worth)" is derived
from the much older 16th Century English expression, "a penny for your
thoughts", possibly a sarcastic response to receiving more opinion than was
wanted "I said a penny for your thoughts, but I got two pennies' worth".
This expression is also often used at the end of a statement, e.g. "Just my
two cents."
***walk of life***
不是“生命的漫步”,而是“各行各业”
[剑桥辞典]: When people talk about walk(s) of life they are referring to
different types of jobs and different levels of society
以上的这些词汇,虽然都是最简单的单词构成,但却都是生活中经常能用得到的口语和
概念:“洁癖”,“五音不全”,“凑合着”,“各行各业”等等。
下面这些极短句Short Phrases要连接上下文,才能体现出其寓意。我就省去上下文,
直接把它们罗列出来了,以后有时间再慢慢做补充说明:
***I’m on it! 不是“我在上面”,而是“我正弄着呢! I’m working
on it!”
***Bite me! 不是“咬我”,而是“少跟我来这套!”
***Beats me! 不是“打我”,而是“我懵了,我不知道”
***Don’t sweat it! 不是“别出汗”,而是“别担心 Don’t worry,
take it easy!”
***Heads will roll! 不是“脑袋滚”,而是“有人要倒霉!”
***That’s all there is to it. = that’s it, that’s all.
***That’s all there is to that. = that’s it, that’s all.
