All right,听完今天的对话之后,我们要来学习 sick 在口语当中的用法。It's very very useful!
O K. So it's important to know that “ sick ” does still mean “ ill ”,to have a cold,to have a flu. You can say:Ugh,I'm very sick.
But now“sick” also has another meaning. Right now it means “ awesome ”. You can say:That movie was so sick. You could also say:That party last night was so sick.
So right now “sick” has two meanings.
在我们最开始学习英语的时候,大家都知道 sick 这个词表示的是“ 生病的 ”。比如说“我生病了”,“I'm sick.”。
在口语中,我们也可以用sick来代替 awesome ,让你听起来更加地道。比如说:The party last night was sick!昨天晚上的party 太棒了 !
OK. It's time for today's bonus. Remember when I said“sick” had two meanings. Actually I lied. “Sick” has three meanings!
The other meaning is the same as “ disgusting ” or “ gross ”. For example,if I see a cockroach on the ground,I can say:Ewww,sick! Or,for example,when I'm eating hotpot,if someone ordered duck blood,I can say:I don't wanna eat that. That's sick!
sick在口语当中还有第三个意思,就是“ 恶心的 ”。比如,大白说如果他吃火锅的时候看到了鸭血,就会觉得it's sick,好恶心。
