第一章

1. 活该！ serves you (him her) right! = you deserve (he/she

deserves it. )

e. g you failed the test? serves you right for not studying!

2. 活该！ you had it coming!

e. g. a: i gained weight!

b: well

you had it coming

because you ''ve been eating so much without exercising.

3. 胡闹 that’ s monkey business!

e. g. a: stop fooling around! that’ s monkey business!

别再混日子了！你根本在胡闹嘛！

注：本句也可把monkey当成动词说成 “stop monkeying around!”

3．请便！ help yourself.

do as you please. (表示不需准许而可取东西，就是请客人自在点，不必太拘束。)

4．哪有？ what do you mean? not at all!

注：如果只说 “what do you

mean？” 那是不带任何用意的问句，只是想问清楚对方的意思；但是它也可用于挑衅及威胁，代表不满对方表达的意见。若加上 “not

atall” ，表示你在否认对方表达的意思。

5．才怪！ yeah，right！

as if！

e. g. a: today’ s test was very easy.

b: yeah

right!

a: he thinks he can socialize with us! as if! 他自认可以跟我们交往！ 才怪！

注： “yeah，right” 常用于讽刺性的回答。 “as if” 大多是10到17岁女孩的用语。

6．加油！ go for it！

e. g. a: go for it! you can do it!

注：这是鼓励他人的话，也就是 “give it a good try.” “try your best.” 。

7．够了！ enough！

stop it！

注：也可以加强语气说 “enough is enough！” 。要是对方正在fooling

around（无所事事），你会骂他 “enough of this foolishness！” （混够了吧！）

8．放心！ i got your back.

e. g. a: don’ t worry

man. i got your back.

注：这句原本来自 “i’ m covering you from

behind” （我在后面掩护你），是打仗时军人常说的一句话。但在现代的意思是我会照料一切，要对方不必担心，所以这句男

人会常用，女人反而较少用。

9．爱现！ showoff！

e. g. a： he’ s been doing that all day. what a showoff!

注：showoff是名词，也可作动词，如：she likes to show off her toys. 或he is

always showing off his strength.

12．真棒！ that’ s great!

14．闭嘴！ shut up！

15．好烂！ it sucks！

e. g. a: that sucks. don’ t buy it.

注：这句话可用来形容人、事物的状况令人失望或十分不理想。

e. g. a: she’ s still sleeping with her favorite stuffed animal.

she’ s so immature.

注：这句话对美国人来说侮辱的程度比较大。

18．花痴！ flirt！

e. g. a: you are such a flirt! stop kissing up to him! he

doesn’ t like you at all. 你是花痴喔？别再讨好他了。他根本不喜欢你。

注：不论男女，凡有如此行为的皆可用flirt表示。player（调情圣手）专指男性，tease（卖弄风情的女人）专指女性。

19．痞子！ riff raff！

e. g. a: these people give me the creeps. riff raff!

这些人使我起鸡皮疙瘩。

e. g. a: are you crazy? you’ re playing with fire!

注：这是表示某人在做的事很危险或很有挑战性。

“You are rally perverted.” 。

e. g. A: Good job. That’ s super!

注：这字有点旧了，但年轻人喜欢在形容词前面加super以强调它的意思，如 “super-cool” 。

23．算了！ Forget it！

注：这句有 “不谈这件事了” ，或 “这没什么” 的意思。

24．糟了！ Shit！/ Fuck！/ Damn！

e. g. A: Shit! This stinks! 糟了！这好臭！

注： 这些都是低俗的用语，如同 “***” 等等咒骂的字，Damn是其中最温和的一个。

25．废话！ Bullshit！

e. g. A: I don’ t believe it. That’ s bullshit!

注：这句也可用crap来表示，它的语气比较温和，但还是一样无礼。

26．变态！ Pervert！

e. g. A: Let’ s get out of here. There are so many perverts

bias for apple pie” （这个作家对苹果派有所偏好）。

30．无耻！ Shameless！

e. g. A: How could you do such a thing! You’ re shameless!

gonna like you?

B: So what?

你说呢！ You tell me！ e.g. A: What are we going to do? B: You tell

41. 别傻了！ Wise up！ E.g. A: Please

you believe that? Wise up!

Don’ t be silly! E. g. A: I think we can get everyone to give us

money. B: Don’ t be silly.

注：当女孩子说 “Don’ t be silly” 时，大多是在打情骂俏。

42．别闹了！ Keep it down！ E.g. A: You kids are too loud! Keep it

down!

注：Keep it down是不要闹了，但keep it up意思完全不同，是用来勉励对方继续努力下去。如果keep it

up！用威吓的语气说就变成：若继续下去后果就不堪设想

（你再给我试试看！）。

50. 真划算。 What a great deal! E. g. I got two bikes for the price

of one. What a great deal!

注：这里的deal是指买卖交易。在其他情况中 “What’ s the deal?”

“What’ s

going on?”

“Why are you doing this?” 都是在询问 “怎么了？” 。

注：这句是要别人注意自己在表演的特殊动作或技巧。

am I going to do?

I’ m dead meat. E. g. A: I failed the exam! I’ m dead meat!

You’ re dreaming.

注： “Dream on！” 意思也是一样，另外多了点玩笑的态度。

good taste.
