Day 15

high这个词,在英语中不能随便用,很危险!

A: Hey,dude,last night I was so high at Space!

D: Are you crazy? Drugs are illegal,man!

A: I don't do drugs! The club was really fun.

D: Oh,Alex,if you say you're high,it means you took drugs.

A: Oh,my God. I didn't know that!

D: Well,learn something new every day.

A: Thanks,bro!

听完今天的对话之后,我们要来看一个词: “high” 。这个词我们在生活当中可能经常会用到。“好high呀!”但是,你跟外国友人在说这个词的时候要小心了。

T he explanation for this is really quite simple. I know that in Chinese,people use the word “high” to mean “really excited”.

But if you are talking to an English speaker,when you say “let's get high ” or “I was so high”,we will definitely think you are talking about drugs . “To be high” means “ to be on drugs ”. So be very careful!

在今天的对话当中,我一开始说,“Last night I was so high at Space?”我想表达的是我在Space(酒吧名)玩得非常开心,非常高兴。

但是当大白听到“ high ”这个词的时候,他就以为我在 吸毒 。因为当老外听到“high”这个词的时候,他们自然就会跟“吸毒”联系在一起。所以大家一定要注意,不要随便地用“high”这个词。

Bonus time! OK,so if you want to describe that you are very excited at a party,we have a new word that we use. The word is “ lit ”.

You could say the bar was so lit last night. That party was lit. It means it was cool,and it was awesome. It means it was really fun. Lit!

当大家真的想要表达“这个party很high”的时候,可以用“ lit ”这个词,这个词现在非常流行。要说这个派对特别的“high”,你就可以说: The party was lit. 但是大家要注意,不能说“I was lit.”,这是不对的。 S1h19MYoGNZpkpqXuidIrp1Jd6/ZCxBZ9tCs4+FvhZIX8rHYaojSmdBcOFl75PCU
