“真相”和“廢話”最地道的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)
事情的真相
當(dāng)你想表達(dá)“這是事情的真相”時(shí),會(huì)想到什么詞呢?Truth?Inside information?都不地道,是lowdown。lowdown這個(gè)詞通常用來(lái)指“事情的真相”或
外界不知道的“內(nèi)幕消息”,它有時(shí)會(huì)跟介詞on連用,例如:“give someone the lowdown on something(告訴某人關(guān)于某件事情的內(nèi)幕)”。
例:Just give me the lowdown,and you'll be fine.(只要告訴我真相,你就沒(méi)事。)
廢話
在我們平時(shí)的口語(yǔ)中,“廢話”這個(gè)詞是出現(xiàn)頻率相當(dāng)高的,那英語(yǔ)中“廢話”用什么詞表達(dá)最地道呢?很簡(jiǎn)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(lái)形容一個(gè)人胡說(shuō)八道、講一些毫無(wú)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(tīng)那些廢話!只要告訴我你現(xiàn)在要怎么辦就行。)

第四篇:“熬夜”的英語(yǔ)地道表達(dá)
“熬夜”的英語(yǔ)地道表達(dá)
世界杯期間,不少人都會(huì)熬夜看球;考試前夕,很多同學(xué)會(huì)熬夜復(fù)習(xí)。隨著工作學(xué)習(xí)壓力的增大、娛樂(lè)生活內(nèi)容的豐富,現(xiàn)代人似乎越來(lái)越習(xí)慣于熬夜了??墒前疽苟嗌贂?huì)影響身體健康以及第二天的精神狀態(tài),所以大家還是要盡量避免熬夜。今天我們來(lái)看一些句子,學(xué)習(xí)其中關(guān)于“熬夜”的各種地道說(shuō)法吧。
1.stay up熬夜
eg:I want to stay up tonight and watch the late show.今晚我不想睡覺(jué),等著看深夜電視節(jié)目。
eg:I will make this radio work even if I have to stay up all night.即使通宵不眠,我也要把這臺(tái)收音機(jī)修好。
2.Burn the midnight oil(熬夜)
以前的人都是用油燈來(lái)照明,如果有人在深夜時(shí)分燃點(diǎn)燈油,即表示那個(gè)人仍在努力的埋頭苦干?,F(xiàn)今,我們已不會(huì)再燃點(diǎn)油燈,但是這意思依然保留下來(lái),因而有Burn the midnight oil這個(gè)成語(yǔ)的出現(xiàn)。Burn the midnight oil是指通宵達(dá)旦地工作,亦即是我們所謂的開(kāi)夜車(chē)。要Burn the midnight oil的時(shí)候,實(shí)在是一件令人勞累的事,那么,大家就要小心身體了!
eg:“Angela is a workaholic.She always burns the midnight oil on her work.Angela是一個(gè)工作狂,她時(shí)常也在通宵工作。
3.相關(guān)成語(yǔ)Pull an all nighter
與Burn the midnight oil的意思相通。如:Teachers do not encourage students to pull an all nighter for exams.They should pay attention during lessons.”(老師不會(huì)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生在試前才溫書(shū)至深夜,他們應(yīng)該上課時(shí)專(zhuān)心聽(tīng)書(shū)才對(duì)。)
I stayed up late last night to watch the final game of the World Cup.我昨晚熬夜看了世界杯決賽。
Late hours don't agree with me.我不習(xí)慣熬夜。(keep late hours晚睡晚起)
Did you burn the mid-night oil again last night?你昨晚又熬夜了嗎?
It's usual for him to sit up late at night.他經(jīng)常晚上熬夜。
Some people prefer sitting up to going to bed early.有些人寧可熬夜,也不早睡。
He is a night owl.他是個(gè)夜貓子。
She was tired out by these long vigils.長(zhǎng)期熬夜使她筋疲力竭。
College students often pull an all-nighter at the end of a semester.一到學(xué)期末,學(xué)生們就經(jīng)常通宵學(xué)習(xí)。
