小编:小棉袄 140第九词:Sense
这个词主要由于几个相关短语而流行的。
这几个短语分别是:a sense of (responsibility, humor...)---有幽默感等, make sense/not make any sense,有意义,没意义(所以我说别老用meaningless,不是人家听不懂,那很中式的)。
1、我很喜欢他。他很有幽默感。
Chinglish:I very like him. He is very humorous.
Revision:I like him very much. He has a good sense of humor.
2、我知道,不过有的地方没什么意义。
Chinglish:I know, but it's meaningless in some places.
Revision:I know, but again at some point it doesn't make any sense.
3、什么?至少六周?这样做有什么意义呢?
What? at least 6 weeks? Does it make any sense?(或what's your point?)
第十词:Afford
意思是买的起,付得起、花得起时间、金钱、精力等。
但是Afford只能表示能力,不表示意愿。例如我们可以说I'm willing to pay, but I really can't afford it.
1、这顶帽子贵得也太离谱了,我买不起。
Chinglish:This hat is extremely expensive, I can't buy it.
Revision:This hat is so expensive that I can't afford it.
2、这个村子里好多儿童都上不起学。
Chinglish:Lots of kids can't go to school because they're poor. (意思表达出来了但是不精练)
Revision:Plenty of kids in this village can't afford to go to school (can't afford education).
3、抱歉,我跟你玩不起。
Chinglish:Sorry, I can't play with you.
Revision:I can't afford to play 'games' with you, sorry.
第十一词:Frustrated
表示心情沮丧、灰心丧气时,老外偏爱frustrated这一词。我们喜欢是sad, lose one's heart等表达法。
没说过frustrated一词三次以上的,那么英语还不算入门(别骂我啊,我只可是考虑再三才说滴,没说过的话,现在说也来得及)。
用法特别简单。当你觉得灰心丧气时,forget about "sad", use this word instead.
1、没有一个女孩子给我写过信,我真是沮丧极了。
I'm so frustrated that no girls wrote to me.
2、公司业绩总是不好,总经理真是心灰意懒。
Chinglish:The total manager is very sad because the achievement is not good.
Revision:The general manager is so frustrated for the poor performance of his company.
If, if lots of people come and shout to me: "Coolmax, your English is so poor and limited!" I'll be extremely frustrated.
再说一遍,以后要常说 frustrated 哦!说多了,你就有老外的感觉了。
