地道美语40句(带中文翻译和解析)
地道美语40句
1. It’s not like that. 不是那样的.
这句话通常是用来辟谣的。当别人误会了一件事情来龙去脉的时候，你可以跟他说
It’s not like that.当然随着语气及情境的不同，这句话也有可能是你用来硬拗的藉口。
2. There is nothing good playing. 没好电影可看。
这句是接着问句而来的，指的是“没有好电影可看。同样的，若是电视上没有好节目可看，你就可以说There’s nothing good on TV.
3. I’ve go tten carried away. 我扯太远了。
当你或是他人说话的时候离了题，偏离主旨扯远了。你就可以用上这个表达法.
4. Good thing... 还好，幸好…
在美语当中若要表达中文里“还好，幸好…”的语气，你就可以用Good thing...做开头。这个句型非常简单又好用，你只要在Good thing后面加上完整的句子就可以。
5. I don’t believe you’re bringing this up. 你现在提这件事真是岂有此理。
bring something up指“提到(某件事)”。你若没想到对方会提起这件事讨骂，可说此句.若你很高兴对方主动提起了一件事，可说I am glad you are bringing this up.
6. spy on... 跟监(某人)
spy这个字就是“间谍”。动词就是“监视，跟踪”之意。
7. There’s no other way of saying it.没有别种说法。
有时候不管你再怎么转、再怎么拗，也没有办法更婉转或是避开一些绝对会出现的字，这时候你就可以用上这句话来表达自己避无可避的为难，因为“没有别种说法。”
8. That will not always be the case. 情况不会永远是这样。
case这个字有“情况”的意思，That will be the case.就是指“情况就会是这样了。”
但是你若觉得现在的情况只会是暂时，不会长久，你就可以反过来说此句。
9. She is coming on to you. 她对你有意思。
形容某人对某人有意思，这个句型男女两性都适用；同样的情况，你也可以说She is making a pass at you.“她对你眉来眼去的。”
10. I was being polite.我这是在说客气话。
当然你若要说一个人有礼貌，你可以说He is polite.或是He has good manners.不过I was being polite是指“我这是在说客气话。”使用的情境比较趋近于客套而不伤和气的出发点，与“做作”artificial (a.)又不一样了。
11. stand someone up 放(某人)鸽子
12. So that explains it. 原来如此。
有时事情的来龙去脉浑沌不清让人摸不着头脑，若是突然让你豁然开朗，就可用这句话。
13. I feel the same way. 我有同感。
当他人说出了你的感觉，你再同意不过的时候，就可用上这句话，不但让你避免把同样的话再讲一次，还让对方觉得自己的意见被尊重呢。
14. Is there someone else？你是不是有了新欢？
字面上是指“有其它人吗？”在使用上，那个“其它人”一定是感情上的“新欢，新对象”，若是情侣或是夫妻之间有人说了这句Is there someone else？这可就不太妙了。
15. I ca n’t help myself. 我情不自禁。
若是你遇到一个情况想说“我不禁纳闷了起来。”美语中可说: I can’t help but wonder.
16. come hell or high water
当你要去执行一项任务或是做一件事之际，只许成功不许失败的决心
17. have something in common彼此有着共通点（嗜好或观念）
若你和某人完全不对盘，丝毫没有共通点，你就可以说We have nothing in common.
18. What have you got to lose？你有啥好损失的？
当有人犹豫不决，始终做不了决定，你就可用这句话来增强对方破釜沉舟的决心。
19. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself.你不该这么苛责自己的。
用来安慰他人，当有人对自己太过苛责，给自己太多压力，说这句话会让对方好过一些。
20. Don’t get me started on it.别让我打开话匣子
意思是你对于某一件事或是主题，有很多的意见，要是让你开了话头，可能没完没了。用来表达你对一件事情牢骚满腹的心情。
21. When you get down to it追究出最根底的原因
是指把层层的原因摊开，在抽丝剥茧之后所得到最精确最原本的那个答案。
22. let someone off放某人一马
也就是let someone off the hook，如同你在钓鱼，鱼儿上了“钩”，而你把它放掉
23. I don’t know what came over me.
当你觉得自己方才或是回想当时的举动反应，跟平常的自己判若两人，等自己回过味来，才觉得有所不妥，犹如中文里的“我不知道自己是哪根筋不对”。
24. I think you’re thinking of someone else.
若谁认错人或记错人的时候，你就可以跟对方说此句“我觉得你是想到别人去了。”
25. This is not how it looks. “事情不是表面看来的这样”
这句话是用来辟谣的，当有些事情看起来让人误会，而实情却不是表面那般，你就可以用上这句话，以说服他人不要只凭他们所看到的片面，骤下结论。
26. pass oneself off as... 某人蒙混成……以过关
如小孩装成大人去看限制级电影，这可能是服装或是整体打扮甚至语调口音的不同。
27. be out of someone’s league
league指“联盟”，美国职棒的“大联盟”就是Major League。 A be out of B’s league.是A的层级、能耐或是地位……都比B高出许多，非B所能及。若使用在男女关系上，指“B配不上A”，若使用在一般分胜负的情况，指“B比不上A”。
28. talk back回嘴，顶嘴
Don’t talk back to your parents.别跟父母顶嘴。或Don’t talk back.不许顶嘴。
29. spare no effort
spare的意思是“省却，省下”，effort是“努力”，spare no effort就是指“不惜血本，不计代价”，也就是你下定决心，就算用尽一切资源，也要达成某一个目标。
30. Would you cut it out， already？
cut it out是指“住嘴，住手”的意思， already，暗示着说话者的极度不耐烦。
31. for crying out loud
就跟for god’s sake一样，都是表示说话者负面的评价，犹如中文里“搞什么名堂！”、“乱七八糟！”这类在语气中带有忿忿不平的话，同时暗示着说话者的不耐烦。
32. for your information
照字面上看，是“我提供讯息给你”的意思，但其实说这个词组时，说话者的口气通常会比较强硬，有着教训别人或是指别人搞不清楚状况的意味。
33. I must be losing it.
这句话当中的it是指“神智，理智”，所以lose it的意思就是“失去理智”，也就是“发疯”的意思。Someone must be losing it.这句话的使用时机，是当你觉得有谁做出了脱离常轨的举动，你料想“……一定是疯了”。
34. This one is on me. 这顿算我的！
这句话相当适用于男性，通常在和女朋友外出用餐或是跟一伙人一起吃喝，到了付账时总是气氛尴尬，要是此时你撂下This one is on me!相信大伙绝对会对你报以英雄式欢呼。不过这种义气只能偶一为之，量力而为，不然苦的还是你自己。
35. even up the odds
odds是“胜算，成功的可能性”，通常用在赌博或是比赛的场合。你可以说The odds are high.来表示“胜算高”。相对的，要说胜算“低”只要将high改成low即可。even 在这当作动词使用，是“使相等”的意思，因而even up the odds则可解释为“扳回劣势”。
36. What have we got here？“看我们找到了什么？”
相当口语的用法。常被用在翻箱倒柜找寻东西或是搜身等特殊情境，有点寻宝的意味。 37. be out of the way让路，誊出地方
若表达“挡路”则是be in the way。另外Get out of my way!是不客气地表达“滚开！”。
38. Why all the trouble？干嘛费那么大劲
当一件事明明轻而易举地就可以完成，却有人要拐弯抹角做些事倍功半的白工，你就可以对他说Why all the trouble？
39. Call it a day. 今天就到这里。
这个词组字面意思指“就称它做一天。”引申为“到此为止，就这样结束。”想要结束一件事不再追究，或是开会、上课在结束前，主席或老师便可说Let’s call it a day.
40. You won’t regret it.你不会后悔的
这句话常用在自己做保证，怂恿对方绝对不会后悔的情况，譬如在作投资、店员作产品推销等时侯。

综合英语(一)课文及翻译
Lesson One: The Time Message Elwood N, Chapman 新的学习任务开始之际，千头万绪，最重要的是安排好时间，做时间的主人。本文作者提出了7点具体建议，或许对你有所启迪。 1 Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look a head, you think you have more time than you need. For Example,at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands, but toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties (duty), so you get worried. What is the answer? Control! 译：时间真是不好对付，既难以控制好，又很容易浪费掉，当你向前看时，你觉得你的时间用不完。例如，在一个学期的开始，你或许觉得你有许多时间，但到学期快要结束时，你会突然发现时间快用光了，你甚至找不出时间把所有你必须干的事情干完，这样你就紧张了。答案是什么呢？控制。 2 Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. I f you don't make it work fo r you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one Problem. 译：时间是危险的，如果你控制不了时间，时间就会控制你，如果你不能让时间为你服务，它就会起反作用。所以，你必须成为时间的主人，而不是它的奴仆，作为刚入学的大学生，妥善安排时间是你的头等大事。 3 Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time you waste,the easier it is to go on wasting time. If seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice. 译：时间是珍贵的，浪费时间是个坏习惯，这就像毒品一样，你越浪费时间，就越容易继续浪费下去，如果你真的想充分利用上大学的机会，你就应该把利用时间的要旨付诸实践。 Message1. Control time from the beginning. 4 Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the Beginning of the term. 译：抓紧时间就是抓紧当前的时间，不要把事情推到明天或是下周，在学期开始就开始计划。 Message2. Get the notebook habit. 5 Go and buy a notebook today, Use it to plan your study time each day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the Plan for the following week.

综合英语三课文翻译
Unit 1 Changes in the Way We Live 在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。或许这也没有什么不好，因为，正如吉姆·多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样，农耕生活远非轻松自在。但他写道，自己并不后悔，对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream Life Jim Doherty 有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。如今我同时做着这两件事。作为作家，我和E·B·怀特不属同一等级，作为农场主，我和乡邻也不是同一类人，不过我应付得还行。在城市以及郊区历经多年的怅惘失望之后，我和妻子桑迪终于在这里的乡村寻觅到心灵的满足。 这是一种自力更生的生活。我们食用的果蔬几乎都是自己种的。自家饲养的鸡提供鸡蛋，每星期还能剩余几十个出售。自家养殖的蜜蜂提供蜂蜜，我们还自己动手砍柴，足可供过冬取暖之用。 这也是一种令人满足的生活。夏日里我们在河上荡舟，在林子里野餐，骑着自行车长时间漫游。冬日里我们滑雪溜冰。我们为落日的余辉而激动。我们爱闻大地回暖的气息，爱听牛群哞叫。我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空，看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。 但如此美妙的生活有时会变得相当艰苦。就在三个月前，气温降
到华氏零下30度，我们辛苦劳作了整整两天，用一个雪橇沿着河边拖运木柴。再过三个月，气温会升到95度，我们就要给玉米松土，在草莓地除草，还要宰杀家禽。前一阵子我和桑迪不得不翻修后屋顶。过些时候，四个孩子中的两个小的，16岁的吉米和13岁的埃米莉，会帮着我一起把拖了很久没修的室外厕所修葺一下，那是专为室外干活修建的。这个月晚些时候，我们要给果树喷洒药水，要油漆谷仓，要给菜园播种，要赶在新的小鸡运到之前清扫鸡舍。 在这些活计之间，我每周要抽空花五、六十个小时，不是打字撰文，就是为作为自由撰稿人投给报刊的文章进行采访。桑迪则有她自己繁忙的工作日程。除了日常的家务，她还照管菜园和蜂房，烘烤面包，将食品装罐、冷藏，开车送孩子学音乐，和他们一起练习，自己还要上风琴课，为我做些研究工作并打字，自己有时也写写文章，还要侍弄花圃，堆摞木柴、运送鸡蛋。正如老话说的那样，在这种情形之下，坏人不得闲――贤德之人也歇不了。 我们谁也不会忘记第一年的冬天。从12月一直到3月底，我们都被深达5英尺的积雪困着。暴风雪肆虐，一场接着一场，积雪厚厚地覆盖着屋子和谷仓，而室内，我们用自己砍伐的木柴烧火取暖，吃着自家种植的苹果，温馨快乐每一分钟。 开春后，有过两次泛滥。一次是河水外溢，我们不少田地被淹了几个星期。接着一次是生长季节到了，一波又一波的农产品潮涌而来，弄得我们应接不暇。我们的冰箱里塞满了樱桃、蓝莓、草莓、芦笋、豌豆、青豆和玉米。接着我们存放食品罐的架子上、柜橱里也开始堆

新世纪博士生综合英语Unit 1 课文及译文
Unit1 The Burden of Womanhood Too often in the Third World, a female?s life is hardly worth living. By: John Ward Anderson & Molly Moore 女人的负担 往往在第三世界，女性的生活几乎是不值得活的。 约翰.沃德.安德森和莫莉.摩尔 1.When Rani returned home from the hospital cradling her newborn daughter, the men in the family slipped out of her mud hut while she and her mother-in-law mashed poisonous oleander seeds into a dollop of oil and dropped it into the baby?s throat. As soon as darkness fell, Rani crept into a nearby field and buried her baby girl in a shallow, unmarked grave next to a small stream. 当拉尼抱着她刚出生的女儿从医院回到家时，男人们溜出了她的土屋，她和她的婆婆将有毒的夹竹桃种子捣碎成一团油，并将其塞到婴儿的喉咙里。夜幕一降临，拉尼就蹑手蹑脚地来到附近的一块土地，将她的女婴埋在一条小溪浅旁边的一个不深的、没有标记的坟墓内。 2.“I never felt any sorrow,” Rani, a farm laborer with a weather-beaten face, said through an interpreter. “There was a lot of bitterness in my heart toward the baby because the gods should have given me a son.” “我从来没有感到任何悲哀”，脸部饱经风霜的拉尼通过翻译说，“我的心对孩子充满了辛酸，因为神本应该赐予我一个儿子”。 3.Each year hundreds and perhaps thousands of newborn girls in India are murdered by their mothers simply because they are female. Some women believe that sacrificing a daughter guarantees a son in the next pregnancy. In other cases, the family cannot afford the dowry that would eventually be demanded for a girl?s marriage. 在印度每年有数百甚至数千名新生女婴被他们的母亲谋杀，只因为他们是女孩。有些妇女认为，牺牲一个女儿将保证下次怀孕是儿子。在其他情况下，家庭买不起女孩结婚时所需的嫁妆。 4.And for many mothers, sentencing a daughter to death is better than condemning her to life as a woman in the Third World, with cradle-to-grave discrimination, poverty, sickness and drudgery. 对于很多母亲而言，判处女儿死刑胜过让她在第三世界作为一个女人生活，经历一辈子的歧视、贫困、疾病和劳苦。
