【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 去洗澡 , 我相信大多數(shù)的人都會(huì)講 , take a shower. 但你如果學(xué)老美說(shuō) , hit a shower, 那種層次立刻就不一樣 . 類(lèi)似的用法還有像是睡覺(jué)老美會(huì)說(shuō) , hit the bed, 上路會(huì)說(shuō) hit the road. 都是蠻值得學(xué)的用法 . 8. That’s OK. 不用了 . 大家相信嗎 ? That’s OK. 和 OK. 指的是完全不同的意思喔 . 如果別人問(wèn)你要不要先洗個(gè)澡啊 ? 你答 , That’s OK. 就是不要的意思 , 答 OK. 卻是要的意思 . 像我剛來(lái)美國(guó)時(shí)因?yàn)椴恍判?, 結(jié)果每次都耍寶 . 記得有一次老美來(lái)我家作客 , 我問(wèn)他 , Do you need something to drink? 他說(shuō) That’s OK. 我想 OK. 就是好的意思啊 , 當(dāng)然趕緊把茶水奉上 , 老美一臉莫名其妙的表情 . 其實(shí)我這是錯(cuò)誤的示范 . 要記住 , 當(dāng)別人說(shuō) , That’s OK. 就表示 I’m fine. 我很好 , 你不用操心的意思 , 言下之意就是你不用麻煩了 , 我會(huì)照顧我自己 . 所以要記住 , That’s OK. 其實(shí)有沒(méi)關(guān)系 , 無(wú)所謂的味道在里面 . 所以如果你要明確的拒絕的話 , 可以這么說(shuō) , That’s OK. I don’t need anything to drink. 9. Just right place, right . 大多數(shù)的人想到幸運(yùn) , 都會(huì)直覺(jué)反應(yīng) lucky. 但其實(shí) lucky 有很多種表示法 . 像有一次我問(wèn)老美怎么追到這么一個(gè)如花似玉的女朋友 , 他回答我 , Just right place, right time. 我一聽(tīng)就立刻聯(lián)想到了中文里的 , 天時(shí)地利人和 這句話 , 沒(méi)想到英語(yǔ)里就這么簡(jiǎn)單 , Right place, right time. 就解決了 . (或許應(yīng)該再加上 right girl?) 所以我也開(kāi)始不單說(shuō) , I’m just lucky. 了 . 例如后來(lái)有一次老美問(wèn)我為什么我有免費(fèi)的 T 恤可拿 , 我就很瀟灑地回答他 , Just right place, right time, no big deal. (只不過(guò)時(shí)間地點(diǎn)剛好對(duì)了而已 , 沒(méi)什么大不了的 . ) 事后想起來(lái) , 連自己都覺(jué)得很得意 . 10. Same . 我想當(dāng)大家看到中文 我也是 的時(shí)候 , 百分之九十九的人 me too. 會(huì)立刻脫囗而出 . 甚至有些人還會(huì)說(shuō) , So do I. 但是說(shuō)真的 , 老美是會(huì)說(shuō) , me too. 和 So do I. 沒(méi)錯(cuò) , 但好像太平常了一點(diǎn) , (大概是因?yàn)檫@些用法我上國(guó)中的時(shí)候就知道了吧 !) 我覺(jué)得比較酷一點(diǎn)的講法應(yīng)該是 , same here. 它完完全全就等于 me too. 例如上網(wǎng)聊天最后大家常會(huì)說(shuō) , All right. I have to go to bed now. (好吧 , 我該去睡覺(jué)了 .) 這時(shí)對(duì)方就可以回答 , same here. 表示我也該睡覺(jué)了 . 或是像老美在彼此自我介紹時(shí) , 通常一個(gè)會(huì)先說(shuō) , Nice to meet you. 另外一個(gè)人就會(huì)說(shuō) , me too. 但我也聽(tīng)過(guò)老美說(shuō) , same here. 所以這個(gè) same here. 是完完全全等于 me too. 的 . 另外 ditto 這個(gè)用法也流行過(guò)好一陣子 . 它的意思是 , 同上 當(dāng)然也就等于 me too 的意思啦 . 例如最有名的例子 , 在第六感生死戀 (Ghost) 里 , Demi Moore 和 Patrick Swayze 的對(duì)話 , I love you. Ditto. 心靈雞湯經(jīng)典文章欣賞 : 一直在你身邊 One fine day, an old couple around the age of 70, walks into a lawyer’s office. Apparently, they are there to file a divorce.
