第二章

101.你输了! You lost!

102.吵死了! So noisy!

103.不见得。 Not necessarily. E. g. A: Everyone is gonna hate me.

B: Not necessarily. (意味 “情况可能正好相反” )

104.兜风去。 Let’ s go out for a drive.

E. g. A: I feel so trapped in here. Let’ s go out for a drive!

我觉得有被困在这里得感觉。咱们兜风去吧!

Let’ s go out for some air!

E. g. A: We’ ve been studying all day. Let’ s go out for some

除了开车或骑车,也可表示用走来散心。

aren’ t you?

e. g. A: Now you are scared

aren’ t you?

B: Get that gun away from me!

Mary’ s new skirt?

What a miser! E.g. A: He’ s been wearing the same clothes since

high school. What a miser! Can’ t he buy new clothes?

注:stingy bastard语气很刻薄,因为 “bastard” 已经近乎粗话了。Stingy

是形容词,小气,吝啬之意。Miser是名词。

I admit it!

130. 得了吧! Come on!

131. 末班车。 Just made it. E. g. A: I was the 150th prize-winner!

Just made it for the championship!

E. g. A: You don’ t know when a good thing’ s right in front of

you. You just don’ t appreciate it.

注:appreciate (欣赏)

相反词是 “scorn (藐视)” , “disparage (贬抑)”

146. 在说一次! Say again?

注:say again是口头上,私下聊天时的用法。正式一点的像是 “Pardon me?” “Excuse me?”

或是 “Could you repeat that please?”

是用来形容有钱人,但你对一些事有独到的品位,你也是classy噢。

161. 不一定啦! Not necessarily. (反义:definitely)

162. 别想骗我! Don’ t try to pull one over me!

注:Over me是over my eyes, 意思是 “蒙骗” 。

170. 一视同仁。 Friend or foe…

E. g. A: Whether you’ re a friend or foe

I won’ t treat you any different.

171. 表里不一。 Thinks one way

but acts another.
