英语常用俚语
英语中的俚语、口语或“顺口溜”很多，它们的意义，往往与字面意义不同，有时也不合文法的结构，所以正确了解和灵活使用，是学习英语者的难题之一。下面即是常见的一些，供读者参考。 1. to be (或become) fed up with (someone 或something)：意思是对某人或某事感到讨厌或厌倦（to get tired of; to be disgusted or to get sick of); 例如：I am fed up with his constant complaints.（他常常的抱怨令我厌烦。） We all became fed up with his long speech.（他的长篇演说我们都觉得讨厌。） The husband has been fed up with his wife's nagging.（老公对老婆的唠叨感到厌烦。） 如果只用「to be fed up」也可以： I will not wait for her; I am fed up. (我不想再等她了；我厌了。) (动词时态是：feed, fed, fed) 可见这句俚语似乎有「被动味道」，如果用feed，意思又不同了。 例如：The mother will feed the baby with milk.（母亲喂婴儿牛奶。) (feed 是及物动词) The cattle feed on grass (牛以草为生。)（feed 是不及物动词） 但是The cattle were fed with the grass by the farmer.（农夫用草喂牛。） (cattle 是复合名词，意为复数); 可以说：I am fed up with him. (我讨厌他) (但不能说：I feed up with him.） 2. to be in a rut：是指对每天同样的工作或是墨守成规一成不变的习惯，感到单调乏味 (to be tired of routine job; nothing new or excited) (rut 这个字本意是惯例或老套）。 例如：He has not been promoted for 20 years; he must be in a rut.（他廿年未获升级，一定感到单调枯燥。) After thirty years of the same job, he feels he is in a rut.（干了卅年同样的工作，他觉得枯燥乏味。）所以要放弃单调枯燥的生活方式，就是to get out of the rut. 例如：If you hate your old job, you need to get out of the rut.（假如你不喜欢你的老工作，你就要走出乏味的日子。） 3. to cut the cord: 意思是父母要让儿女离家过著独立自主的生活 (let your children leave home and become independent) (只用於父母与儿女间的关系); 例如：When your children are old enough to take care of themselves, you have to cut t he cord.（当你的孩子长大可以照顾他们自己时，你就应该让他们自力更生。）(即切断依赖父母的脐带。) It is very difficult for many Chinese parents to cut the cord with their children.（许多中国父母很难让儿女完全独立自主。）(注：这里的cord，是指umbilical cord 即脐带。） 4. to start from square one: 意思是上次没有成功，必须回到起点从头做起 (something did not succeed in the first place, have to start over again）(这与to be bac
2019年纯正地道美语,英语口语入门学习材料
2019年纯正地道美语,英语口语入门学习材料篇一：英语口语学习实用方法帮你说出地道美语 英语口语学习:实用方法帮你说出地道美语 现实生活中，不少英语学习者发现在交际过程中有时不能很好表达自己的思想或理解别人的情感，会说出闹不少笑话的Chinglish(中国式英语)，怎样才能避免这种情况呢？以下几点供你参考。 一、了解西方国家的文化和风土人情并强调了解中西文化差异才能使交际有效 如：Jackisagreenhandatdoingthiswork.(杰克做这种工作没有经验)这里“greenhand”意思是“生手”、“没有经验”，而不是“绿色的手”之意。England是个岛国，船是重要交通工具，为保养船只，常用与海水一样的绿色油漆来漆船。一个不熟练的油漆工，工作时常会双手粘满油漆。了解了这一背景，“greenhand”之意就不一言自明。 二、学会在适当的环境中使用适当的语言
语言环境在很大程度上制约着用词。要注意在不同的语言环境中使用适合上下文的词，使思想连贯、内容完整。如：Ofcourse!这一常用词组，“同学，今年过年你回家不？”“ofcourse!"也许你这样回答似乎看来并没有问题，但老外会理解成“你这不是废话吗？我不回家干什么？”因为ofcourse本来就有对方已经知道的意思。 三、学会判断交际时哪些语言形式可接受，哪些不可接受 我们常会给对方提建议，提建议的目的是让别人接受我们的建议。当然，对方是否接受取决于与对方的关系和建议的可行性，但是要避免使用带有命令口气的词语和方式。如：“Youmust／should…”等，而用婉转语气，恰当的语言会在很大程度上影响对方接受建议与否。 如：“Whydon'tyou…?”，“Whynot…?”，“You'dbetter….”“Doyouthink…?”等。 Whydon'tyou／Whynotspendmoremoneyonbooks?(为什么不在书上多花些钱？) You'dbetterdoyourhomeworkallbyyourself.(你最好独立完成作业)

40句美国地道口语
1. It’s not like that. 不是那样的。 It’s not like that.这句话是用来辟谣的。当别人误会了一件事的来龙去脉，你就可以跟他说It’s not like that.“不是那样的。”当然随着语气及情境的不同，It’s not like that.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。 这里的There’s nothing good playing.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 gotten carried away. 我扯太远了。 get carried away字面上的意思是“被带走了”，那么被带走的是什么呢？就是心思。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I’ve / You’ve gotten carried away. 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是指“提到(某件事)”。当然情况会有正反两面。你若没想到对方会提起这件事讨骂，你可以说I don’t believe you’re bringing this up.而反过来说，若你很高兴对方主动提起了一件事，你也可以用这个片语自然说出I am glad you are bringing this up. 6. spy on... 跟监(某人) spy这个字就是“间谍”。当动词用的意思自然就是“做间谍做的事”，也就是“监视，跟踪”之意。当你要去监视跟踪某人，美语中就说成spy on someone。 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There’s no other way of saying it.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。

外国人十句最地道的英语口语
外国人十句最地道的英语口语 2013年03月28日07:59腾讯博客[微博]我要评论(5) 字号：T|T “干嘛呢？”“吃了吧？”这是著名的中国习语，见面问候。那么外国人呢？他们的习惯用语又是什么呢？我总结了下面十种习惯用语，都是简单又实用的： 1) 如果别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完，你感到厌烦了，说＂you are so boring＂(你真烦！)。“shut up!”(闭嘴！)自然没错，可人家受得了吗？不如来一句“oh, come on.give me a break!”(帮帮忙，让我歇歇吧！)这地道幽默吧？ 2）要想说人“气色好”。“you look fine!”当然不错，可如果你说“ you’re in the pink! ”就妙得多了，实际上，在英语口语中，表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。 3）“他精力充沛”美国人说：“he is bouncy”而不说＂he is energetic ＂,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。如：久仰，"I get mind of you"比”I heard a lot about you.”轻松得多。 4）代问他人好当然能用＂please remember me to your sister”或＂please give my best wishes to your father＂不过，若是很好的朋友，何不说，“please give my love to Jim。” 5）在中国可不能随便说“我想你”，然而，当和西方人分手时说“Im will miss you”要比说“good-bye”或“see you soon”有趣得多，不妨一试。 6）有人开会迟到了，你若对他说“you are late”，听起来象是废话，若说“did you get lost?”，则更能让他歉然，可别说成“get lost!”那可是让人滚蛋的意思。 7）别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用“it’s my secret,don’t ask such a personal question”回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说“I would rather not say”(还是别说了吧！)。 8) 有时候，你想说什么，可说是想不起来，你可以说“well…”、“let me see”、“just a moment ”或“it’s on the tip of my tongue”等，相比之下，最后一个句型是最地道的。 9) 交谈时，你可能会转换话题，不要只说“by the way ”实际上，“to change the subject”、“before I forget”、“while I remember”、“mind you”都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。
