跟老外學習9種最地道的英語告白

to have a crush on(someone);
to feel an instant magnetism;
to catch one's eyes; to hit it off;
to have the hots for(someone);
to be attracted to each other.這些片語,都是描寫男女間互相傾慕,兩情相悅,有吸引力或一見鍾情。
例如:
* He(she)has a crush on her(him)(他對她十分愛慕)。
* He felt an instant magnetism when their eyes met.(他們見面時,他立即感到磁性般的吸?。R庵概耐獗砦?如果是 she felt …… 那么就是指男的外表吸引。
* A nice-looking girl caught his eye.(漂亮的妞兒吸?。?。
注意:不用eyes。
* He was introduced to a pretty woman and they seem to hit it off immediately.(他被介紹給一位漂亮女子後,他們似乎就一見鍾情)。
或
* They were attracted to each other the moment their eyes met.* When he met her, he had the hots for her.(當他見到她,他就對她愛慕不已。)(多半指 sexual attraction。)
例如說,女對男的沒有興趣,那么也可以說:
* She did not feel any attraction toward him.(她對他毫無興趣);或* He is the man for whom she
feels no attraction, catch or no catch.(不管他的條件好或壞,她對他就是沒有興趣)。這里的 catch,可指財富、地位、名望和外表。
這些都是指男人英俊瀟灑,作風奔放,野性旺盛,喜歡在「女人窩」里。例如:
* Mr.Lin has been considered a prince on a white horse.(林先生被認為是白馬王子。)
這是中古時代女子對男人的夢中理想
現(xiàn)在也有老外認為美男子應該是:全身盔甲燦爛光輝的王子。
* He is a prince in a shining armour.(動詞時態(tài):shine, shone 或shined。)
* Many people think that Mr.Clinton is a real lady‘s man.(或 a real womanizer)(許多人認為柯林頓先生喜歡在女人窩里。)
*As a casanova, he has many girl friends.(由於他是美男子,他有許多女友。)
(Casanova 是意大利人,據(jù)說是頂尖的美男子,他的全名是:Casanova deseingalt Giovanni Giacomo 在此 casanova 被當做普通名詞,故 c不必大寫。
如果形容男人外表魅惑力大,能使女人「如饑似渴」般崇拜他,也可以說:
* He has melted her down and made her knees buckle.(他把她溶化了,使她拜倒他的西裝褲下)。
這句話老外通常不用在男人身上,也許因為男子應該比較堅強些吧!
* So many women swarmed him like bees to the honey.(許多女人看到他,就像一群蜜蜂見到蜜那樣蜂擁而至。)

第四篇:英語小知識:跟老外寒暄、妙句
英語小知識:跟老外寒暄、妙句
生活在國外,你是不是常常不知道怎么和別人寒暄?除了How are you,你還會別的嗎?別人在跟你打招呼之后,除了Fine, thank you, and you,你還會別的嗎?下面給大家詳細列舉了幾乎所有常見的打招呼的方式,跟老外聊天不再尷尬!
寒暄方式1:How are you? 如何回應:
Very well, thanks.(這才是最正確的回答,如果別人用how..發(fā)問,正確的語法應該是用副詞來回應的。不過大家漸漸不太重視這個問題,就延伸出許多其他的回答。還可以說一句And you?)
Fine.(如果你只想簡單回應,不想繼續(xù)聊天)Not bad.(比Fine更友好一點的回應,如果想同樣問候別人,可以加一句How about yourself?)
Fine, thanks.(比較正式的回應,一般是對不太熟悉的人說的)Pretty good.(這就是隨便的一種回答)
Great!How are you doing?(這就是很明顯的想要將談話繼續(xù)下去的一種回答方式。)
I'm hanging in there.(意思是說你今天過得很不好,或者你還可以說A tough day!)
I've been better.(一個負面的回答常常表示你想繼續(xù)話題,并告訴別人你的sad story。)寒暄方式2…How's it going? 如何回應:
你也可以用How are you的那些回答來回應這個問題。另外一些回答方式:
It's going well.(友好、有禮貌的回復)
寒暄方式3 …What's up?/ What's happening?(Informal)如何回應:
這個問題其實就是在問 “What's going on?/What's happening in your life?” 如果你不想跟對方深入聊下去,可以簡單回復。
What's up(What's up其實是不用回答的,有時候人們就同樣一句what's up來回應)Nothing.(一種比較沒禮貌的說法,但可以在你生氣的時候使用)
Not a lot.(常見回復)
Nothing much.(最常見的回復)
Oh, just the usual.(如果沒什么特別的事情發(fā)生,這么說也不錯。)
Just the same old same old.(通過這個表達你覺得每天生活挺無聊的。)
Oh gosh, all kinds of stuff!(如果你的生活很忙很充實,每天都過得很新鮮,可以這樣回答。)Been busy.Can't complain.(相當于not bad)
一些其他的問候語: How’s everything? What's going on? How've you been? What have you been up to? How are things? What's new? Good to see you!這些問候語的回復與How are you, What’s up都相似。
英語口語妙句 當別人在你旁邊羅嗦個沒完,你煩透了,說“you are so boring”.(你真煩!)?!皊hut up!”(閉嘴!)自然沒錯,可人家受得了嗎?不如來一句“oh, come on.give me a break!”(幫幫忙,讓我歇歇吧!)這多地道、多幽默。要想說人“氣色好”?!皔ou look fine!”當然不錯,可如果你說“you're in the pink!”就妙得多了,實際上,在英語口語中,表示顏色的詞用起來非常形象生動。“他精力充沛”美國人說:“he is bouncy.”而不說“he is energetic ”,牢記一些日常對話中的活句式是你一把必備的鑰匙。
如:久仰,“I get mind of you ”比“I heard a lot about you”輕松得多。
代問他人好當然能用“please remember me to your sister.” 或“please give my best wishes to your father ”不過,若是很好的朋友,何不說,“please give my love to Jim.”
在中國可不能隨便說“我想你”,然而,當和西方人分手時說“I will miss you ”要比說“good-bye”或“see you soon”有趣得多,不妨一試。
有人開會遲到了,你若對他說 “you are late.”,聽起來象是廢話,若說“did you get lost ?”,則更能讓他歉然。
別人征求你的意見,問能否開窗戶等,你要說“you can do that.”就有點土了,用一句“do you have the time? ”實際上,問他人的姓名,地址都可以這么用:“may I have you name?”要比“what's your name ? ”禮貌得多,不過警察例外。
別人問你不愿公開的問題,切勿用“it's my secret ,don't ask such a personal question.”回答,一來顯得你沒有個性,二來也讓對方尷尬。你可以說“I would rather not say.”(還是別說了吧?。?。
有時候,你想說什么,可說是想不起來,你可以說“well …” “l(fā)et me see” “just a moment” 或 “it's on the tip of my tongue.”等,相比之下,最后一個句型是最地道的。
交談時,你可能會轉換話題,不要只說“by the way ”,實際上,“to change the subject” “before I forget” “while I remember” “mind you ”都是既地道有受歡迎的表達。
遇到你不懂的問題時可別不懂裝懂,“I know”可能是中國人用得最多,而美國人最不能接受的一句話。當一美國教師向你解釋某個問題時,你如果連說兩遍“I know”,我敢保證,他不會再跟你說什么了。用“I got it ”就順耳得多,要是不懂就說“I'm not clear about it.”不過如果你會說“It's past my understanding”或“it's beyond me.”你的教師定會驚訝不已的。
吃貨必備的地道口語第五篇:“真相”和“廢話”最地道的英語表達
“真相”和“廢話”最地道的英語表達
事情的真相
當你想表達“這是事情的真相”時,會想到什么詞呢?Truth?Inside information?都不地道,是lowdown。lowdown這個詞通常用來指“事情的真相”或
外界不知道的“內幕消息”,它有時會跟介詞on連用,例如:“give someone the lowdown on something(告訴某人關于某件事情的內幕)”。
例:Just give me the lowdown,and you'll be fine.(只要告訴我真相,你就沒事。)
廢話
在我們平時的口語中,“廢話”這個詞是出現(xiàn)頻率相當高的,那英語中“廢話”用什么詞表達最地道呢?很簡單,是“noise”。
noise 在詞典中的解釋有“nonsense;empty talk”,它的原意是“噪音”,在這里則是用來形容一個人胡說八道、講一些毫無意義的廢話,就好比噪音一樣。
例:I don't wanna hear that noise!Just tell me what you're gonna do right now.(我不想聽那些廢話!只要告訴我你現(xiàn)在要怎么辦就行。)
