今天介紹的是low profile,意思是不引人注目的形象,做事不愛(ài)引起他人太多的注意。俚語(yǔ)詞典解釋:
low profile: a persona or character that does not draw attention.keep(a)low profile或者maintain(a)low profile: to behave in a way that does not attract attention 例句
I try to be quiet and keep a low profile.It's hard because I just love attention.我盡量安靜并保持低調(diào),對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)很難,因?yàn)槲蚁矚g被關(guān)注。
The government tries to keep low profile about this issue.政府力圖在這個(gè)問(wèn)題上保持低姿態(tài)。
You should keep a low profile until the trouble passes.在麻煩過(guò)去之前,你做事要保持低調(diào)。3 333333城里人瞧不起農(nóng)村人,農(nóng)村人看不上城里人,城里人和農(nóng)村人總是互相瞧不起。鄉(xiāng)巴佬、土包子、官迷、大爺......這些個(gè)稱呼都帶有明顯的貶義色彩。
美國(guó)的城里人和鄉(xiāng)下人也會(huì)互起貶低對(duì)方的稱呼。住在像紐約這種大城市的居民往往把鄉(xiāng)下人看成是一些土里土氣、腦子很簡(jiǎn)單,而且容易上當(dāng)受騙的人。他們認(rèn)為,鄉(xiāng)下人只會(huì)跟豬和牛打交道,可是不善于和人打交道。這些城里人經(jīng)常把鄉(xiāng)下人稱為:hick。Hick這個(gè)字和中文里的鄉(xiāng)巴佬差不多。
例如:See that well-dressed man across the room? That's Mr.Green.When he came to New York 20 years ago, he was only a hick fresh out of the cornfields of Kansas.But he turned out to be a lot smarter than he looked;they say he made ten million dollars last year trading in the stock exchange.你瞧屋子那邊那個(gè)衣著很講究的人。那是格林先生。二十年前他來(lái)紐約之前,只不過(guò)是勘薩斯州種玉米的鄉(xiāng)巴佬。他當(dāng)時(shí)雖然看起來(lái)不怎么樣,但是腦子卻非常靈活。他們說(shuō),去年他通過(guò)買進(jìn)賣出 股票就賺了一千萬(wàn)美元。
又如:My roommate in my freshman year was a real hick.He came from a town so small it didn't have a stop light, a building with an elevator or a movie theater.大學(xué)一年級(jí)時(shí)和我住一個(gè)房間的那個(gè)同學(xué)真是個(gè)鄉(xiāng)巴佬。他的老家是一個(gè)非常小的鎮(zhèn),那里連紅綠燈都沒(méi)有,沒(méi)有一個(gè)樓里有電梯的,甚至連電影院都沒(méi)有。
美國(guó)農(nóng)民的人數(shù)現(xiàn)在越來(lái)越少了。一百年前,美國(guó)有百分之四十二的人生活在農(nóng)村。可是,隨著城鎮(zhèn)的發(fā)展和農(nóng)業(yè)機(jī)械化,美國(guó)農(nóng)民的人數(shù)現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)下降到只占總?cè)丝诘陌俜种c(diǎn)二。在二十世紀(jì),由于交通、收音機(jī)和電視的發(fā)展,城市和農(nóng)村的區(qū)別已經(jīng)在很大程度上消除了??赡苷且?yàn)檫@個(gè)原因,鄉(xiāng)下人用來(lái)貶低城里人的名詞很有限。他們常用的一個(gè)是:city slicker。Slick這個(gè)字的意思是很滑溜。所以,一個(gè)city slicker 也就是說(shuō)話很圓滑,衣著很時(shí)髦,但是很可能是一個(gè)不老實(shí)、不可信任的家伙。
例如:Yep, I told Susie not to go out with any of them city slickers with their smooth talk and fancy clothes.If she has to go out, look for a farm boy.He may be a hick, but she can trust him a whole lot more.是的,我告訴蘇琦不要和那些圓嘴滑舌、衣著講究的城里人出去玩。要是她一定要出去玩,找一個(gè)農(nóng)村來(lái)的男孩。他也許是個(gè)鄉(xiāng)巴佬,但至少是可以信得過(guò)的。
又如:Sure, a city slicker looks smart as long as he stays in a place like New York.But you put him down on a farm and he won't do much better than a newborn baby!
是的,一個(gè)油滑的城是的,一個(gè)油滑的城里人在像紐約這種地方看起來(lái)都很精明。但是,你要是把他送到農(nóng)村去,他肯定什么也不會(huì)干,比一個(gè)新生嬰兒好不了多少。333平常人,普通人。An average Joe refers to someone who is just like everyone else;a normal person.'Average' means 'in the middle' or 'not extreme', and 'Joe' is a common male name.So 'average Joe' refers to a man who is not extremely different from everyone else.004km.cn Average意思是“平均的,一般水平的”,而Joe又是一個(gè)極其常見(jiàn)的名字,所以人們就用average Joe來(lái)表示很普通的一個(gè)人。例如我們會(huì)說(shuō),雷?羅馬諾是這個(gè)時(shí)代全美最受歡迎的電視明星之一,可他卻似乎不把自己當(dāng)成什么大人物,仿佛就是與你生活在同一座城市里的“average Joe”。not know Jack about 對(duì)某事一無(wú)所知。如: I don't know jack about fishing意思就是I don't know anything about fishing(我對(duì)釣魚(yú)一無(wú)所知)。而I don’t know Jack的意思就是“我什么也不知道”。關(guān)于Jack,還有兩個(gè)常見(jiàn)的句子。Do you know jack shit? 意思就是問(wèn)別人, “你知不知道什么叫無(wú)知? 在美國(guó)的口語(yǔ)中,jack shit 算是一句粗話,意思是什么也沒(méi)有。4 John Q.Public 普通人。在美語(yǔ)中,John Q.Public也是指“普通人,民眾”。類似的詞組是:John Q.Citizen.美語(yǔ)里還有很多與John有關(guān)的詞組,如:big John(新兵),cheap John(亂殺價(jià)的商人;叫賣小販),honest John(誠(chéng)實(shí)的人;容易上當(dāng)?shù)娜耍瑂quare John(誠(chéng)實(shí)可靠的人;奉公守法的人)。5 Jeez Louise 表示驚訝。如:One million? Jeez-Louise!You get any of that?(一百萬(wàn)?老天!有你的份嗎?)Jeez Louise, don't you know that all banks are closed today? It is Saturday.(天啊,你難道不知道今天銀行不營(yíng)業(yè)嗎?今天可是周六)。6 For Pete’s sake 感嘆詞,用以強(qiáng)烈表達(dá)情緒,意為“哎呀,天哪”,有些地方也譯作“看在上帝面上;千萬(wàn);務(wù)必”等。在這個(gè)短語(yǔ)中,Pete是耶酥大弟衣物,其中一子St.Peter的昵稱。常在懇求或請(qǐng)求他人時(shí)使用。如:For Pete's sake,stop making so much noise.(哎呀,天哪!別弄出那么討厭的聲音啦!)此外,它還應(yīng)用于其他種種不同的場(chǎng)合。假設(shè)你向別人道了歉,他還沒(méi)完沒(méi)了,這時(shí)你可以說(shuō):I said I was sorry.What else do you want me to do, for Pete's sake?(我已經(jīng)說(shuō)對(duì)不起了,拜托,你還想叫我怎樣啊?)類似的表達(dá)方式還有for Christ sake,for heaven's sake,for mercy’s sake,for pity’s sake,for God’ sake.For Christ's sake和for God's sake有褻瀆神明之嫌,一般避免使用。但在重大事件的場(chǎng)合是可以使用的,不受限制。
正因?yàn)樵趪?yán)重事件的場(chǎng)合使用。所以for Christ's sake和for God's sake語(yǔ)氣最強(qiáng),其次是for Pete's sake,其余的大致相同。另外,在使用時(shí),男女有別。for Pete's sake和for God’sake多為男性使用。for goodness’sake,for heaven's sake,以及for pity's sake的使用者以女性居多,但男性在表示特別強(qiáng)烈的感情時(shí)也可以使用。但for mercy's sake幾乎只有女性使用。7 a doubting Thomas 生性多疑的人。源自《圣經(jīng)?新約?約翰福音》第20章。該篇講到耶穌復(fù)活后出現(xiàn)在眾人面前,十二門(mén)徒之一托馬斯沒(méi)有親眼見(jiàn)到,聲稱除非看到他手上的釘痕,用手探入他的肋旁,否則不信他已復(fù)活。后來(lái)人們用“doubting Thomas”指那些不肯輕易相信別人的人。
He’s a real doubting Thomas — he simply wouldn’t believe I’d won the car until he saw it with his own eyes.他是一個(gè)真正的懷疑主義者—在沒(méi)有看到之前他就是不相信我贏得那輛車。8 a plain Jane 長(zhǎng)相不起眼,外貌平凡的女人。這里的plain是“不惹人注目的,樸素的”,而Jane是一般女人名,plain與Jane合轍押韻。如:I wonder why a handsome man like Jeff married such a plain Jane.我很奇怪像杰夫這樣出色的男子怎么與一個(gè)不怎么起眼的姑娘結(jié)婚。9 Joe Blow 老百姓,普通人。Joe Doakes也可以表示這個(gè)意思。美國(guó)口語(yǔ)中,Joe College指典型的美國(guó)大學(xué)生,Joe Miller則指滑稽書(shū),笑話集。004km.cn 10 Sheila 在口語(yǔ)中表示少女,年輕貌美的女子。一般為女子英文名,譯為希拉,類似于Shelly, Cecilia.11 No way, Jose “不可能的荷西”,常用于熟人之間拒絕做某事。Jose并不表示叫這個(gè)名的人,而是跟way押韻,說(shuō)起來(lái)響亮,好聽(tīng)。這種說(shuō)法始于20世紀(jì)60年代美國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村。12 not know a person from Adam 不知(某人)模樣如何,與(某人)素不相識(shí)。源自《圣經(jīng)?舊約?士師記》第2、3章。上帝創(chuàng)造了世界上的第一個(gè)男人,取名為亞當(dāng)(Adam)。因?yàn)閬啴?dāng)非女人所生,所以沒(méi)有肚臍,是最容易辨認(rèn)的人,“not know somebody from Adam”就表示“完全不認(rèn)識(shí)某人”。Mrs.Smith is a friend of mine, but I don’t know her husband from Adam.史密斯太太是我的朋友,但我完全不認(rèn)識(shí)她丈夫。13 Jack of all trades 萬(wàn)事通。一般指雜而不精,也就是我們平時(shí)所說(shuō)的“三腳貓”。Jack of all trades and master of none.門(mén)門(mén)精通,樣樣稀松。14 Uncle Sam 美國(guó)。它源自1812-1814年間美英戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí)期的一個(gè)歷史傳說(shuō)。相傳在紐約州的特洛伊城(Troy))有位年長(zhǎng)的肉類加工商,名叫山繆爾?威爾遜(Samuel Wilson)。他勤勞、誠(chéng)實(shí)、能干,很有威信,人們親切地叫他山姆大叔(Uncle Sam)。他也是一位愛(ài)國(guó)者,與父兄曾參加過(guò)美國(guó)獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。在1812年的美英戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中,他的工廠與政府簽了一份為軍隊(duì)生產(chǎn)桶裝牛肉的合同,美國(guó)政府每當(dāng)收到他交來(lái)的經(jīng)其親自檢驗(yàn)合格的牛肉,就將肉裝入特制的木桶,并在桶上蓋上US的記號(hào)。由于Uncle Sam的首字母是US,而美國(guó)(The United States)的縮寫(xiě)也是U.S.,于是人們便把這兩個(gè)名稱合二為一了。當(dāng)?shù)氐娜藗兙桶选吧侥反笫濉碑?dāng)成美國(guó)的綽號(hào),并逐漸流傳開(kāi)來(lái)。15 John Hancock 親筆簽名。John Hancock是在The Declaration of Independence(美國(guó)獨(dú)立宣言)上署名的獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)士中,將自己的名字簽得又好又大的一個(gè)人,他的簽名美觀大方而且個(gè)頭也比別的簽名大。所以美國(guó)人常把John Hancock當(dāng)作signature(署名,簽名)的意思.。如:I need your John Hancock.我需要您的簽名。16 Johnny One Note 五音不全的人。也可以指思想狹隘,看問(wèn)題片面的人。Note在這里的意思是音符。444猜疑傷害莫逆之交。

弗洛伊德 S)777。)
在這里,他運(yùn)用的是所謂的英語(yǔ)“押韻俚語(yǔ)”(Cockney Rhyming Slang)其中,tit for tat(原義為“針?shù)h相對(duì)”)是 hat(帽子)的押韻俚語(yǔ),同樣,crust of bread(面包片)代替 head(頭),daisy roots(雛菊花根)代替 boots(靴子),plates of meat(肉盤(pán))代替 feet(腳),apples and pears(蘋(píng)果和梨)代替 stairs(樓梯),而 elephant's trunk(大象鼻子)則代替 drunk(喝醉了的)。
押韻俚語(yǔ)(Cockney Rhyming Slang)是英國(guó)倫敦下層社會(huì)中應(yīng)用的非正式的口語(yǔ)(Cockney 意思為“倫敦佬”,是對(duì)倫敦社會(huì)下層人士的蔑稱)。這種口語(yǔ)之所以稱為押韻俚語(yǔ),是因?yàn)樗麄冇猛秸Z(yǔ)押韻的詞來(lái)代替正式語(yǔ)。上面例子中的 tit for hat 就同 hat 押韻,同樣,crust of bread 也同 head 押韻。
押韻俚語(yǔ)有一個(gè)特點(diǎn),即代替一個(gè)正式詞語(yǔ)要用含有兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上詞(element)的詞組。其它押韻俚語(yǔ)的例子還有不少。例如:
trouble and strife(原義為“麻煩和沖突”)代替 wife(妻子)
Brussels sprout(原義為“球芽甘藍(lán)”)代替 scouts(童子軍)
以上所說(shuō)的都是完整的押韻俚語(yǔ),但在實(shí)際運(yùn)用中,倫敦佬們往往用它們的省略形式。值得一提的是,省略的押韻俚語(yǔ)中省略的部分不是其中的第一個(gè)詞,而是第二個(gè)詞,即用來(lái)押韻的那部分。因此,如果一個(gè)人說(shuō):My plates are killing me.其實(shí)際意義為 My plates of meat are killing me.即 My feet hurt.同樣 tit for tat 可以省略成為 tit,crust of bread 可省略成 crust 等等。這樣,文章開(kāi)頭的那句話也可以說(shuō)成:
I put my tit on my crust and my daisy on my plates and fell down the apples because I was elephant's.以上為典型的英語(yǔ)押韻俚語(yǔ)。其實(shí)英語(yǔ)中有許多可以接受的非正式用法是由押韻俚語(yǔ)升級(jí)而來(lái)的,而有時(shí)甚至說(shuō)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語(yǔ)的人都不知道它們的來(lái)源。例如,英語(yǔ)中有 Use your loaf(動(dòng)動(dòng)腦筋)實(shí)際上就是由Use your loaf of bread 省略而來(lái),即 Use your head 的押韻俚語(yǔ)。其中 loaf of bread(面包條)是head(腦筋)的押韻俚語(yǔ)。
再如:英國(guó)人常說(shuō):We must get down to brass tacks.(我們必須討論實(shí)際問(wèn)題。)其中 brass tacks(黃銅平頭釘)是 facts(事實(shí))的押韻俚語(yǔ),tacks 和facts 押韻。
又如:英語(yǔ)中有一個(gè)短語(yǔ):take a butcher's,它其實(shí)是 take a butcher's hook(butcher's hook 原義為“屠夫的鉤子”)的省略形式,即take a look(看一眼)的押韻俚語(yǔ)。
同樣,英語(yǔ)中還有其它常見(jiàn)的詞也出自押韻俚語(yǔ),而這些詞許多人不知其出處,似乎它們可以用于正式場(chǎng)合,而實(shí)際上它們卻是英語(yǔ)中的“禁忌語(yǔ)”(taboo words)。例如:
Bristols 表示 breasts(“乳房”),來(lái)源于 Bristol City,是titty的押韻俚語(yǔ),titty 是 breast 的禁忌語(yǔ),復(fù)數(shù):Bristols—titties.cobblers 的意思是 testicles(“睪丸”),來(lái)源于cobblers' awls(鞋匠的錐子)是 balls 的押韻俚語(yǔ),ball是 testicles 的禁忌語(yǔ)。
倫敦金融界行話(jargon)中有一種類似押韻俚語(yǔ),也很有意思。這些行話比起一般的押韻俚語(yǔ)更晦澀難解。例如:
I asked him for a price of a Hawaii but he would only quote me in a lady.一句,局外人很難理解其真實(shí)含義。
其中,Hawaii 原義為“夏威夷”,但在這兒代表的是“fifty million”,而 a lady 卻代表 five million.這句話的意思是:“我向他要價(jià)5,000萬(wàn)(英鎊),而他卻只出500萬(wàn)。”
在這兒,Hawaii 來(lái)自一個(gè)電視節(jié)目“Hawaii Five-O”,F(xiàn)ive-O當(dāng)然代表50 million;lady 是 Lady Godiva 的省略形式。(Lady Godiva 是著名的 Peeping Tom典故中的女主人公。)Lady Godiva 同fiver(five million)押韻。
英鎊同美元的兌換比率稱為 cable,來(lái)自于英美間的跨大西洋的電纜(cable),因而英鎊同美元的兌換比率在倫敦金融行話中也稱為 Betty,來(lái)自于女演員Betty Grable,因?yàn)檫@個(gè)名字同 cable 押韻。
其它情況還有:
貨幣名稱:
yen(日元)— Bill'n Ben
dollar(美元)— Oxford Scholar
guilder(荷蘭盾)— boat builder
mark(德國(guó)馬克)— smudge(smudge 的意思是a small mark)
數(shù)目:
one —a Spaniard(Juan)(Don Juan為西班牙一傳奇人物)
a pair —Lionel(Blair)(一位舞蹈家)
three — carpet(flea)(地毯跳蚤)
four — Desmond(Tutu)(Desmond Tutu 為南非的大主教,用Tutu來(lái)表示four自然是因?yàn)門(mén)wo twos are four)
five — a steep hill(來(lái)自于one-in-five 1 : 5的坡度)
eight— a garden(gate)或 John Curry(John Curry是一位花樣滑冰運(yùn)動(dòng)員,用它顯然是因?yàn)?skate 的緣故)
ten — Cockle(and Hen)(公雞和母雞)
a score — a motor-bike(人們很難將 motor-bike 和20 聯(lián)系起來(lái),而其中的原因卻是騎手雙手握住車把手,給發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)加油門(mén)兩次手指共用 20 個(gè)。)
a half — a laugh
seven-eighths— seven Henries(Henry 為 Henry VIII 之略)
three quarters— three farmers(farmers 為 farmers' daughters 之略)
在人類交往中,俚語(yǔ)是一個(gè)十分難以理解的成分,而押韻俚語(yǔ),如果不知其來(lái)源,理解起來(lái)會(huì)更加困難,而一旦了解了,它們又變得如此趣味盎然。了解一些押韻俚語(yǔ)對(duì)于熟悉英國(guó)社會(huì)、文化、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣以及進(jìn)行實(shí)際交際都會(huì)有很大的幫助 8888 英文名人名言 英文名人名言
