生活中最常用来表达“大姨妈来了”的单词是“period”,我们都知道“period”有“周期”的意味,那样就容易想像为什么用这词了,这儿“period”专指生理周期,也就是例假。
my period is coming today.
i’m having my period./i’m on my period.
除开“period”,英语中还有一个说法是“charlie’s come”,还可以表达“来大姨妈了”,事实上这个词在俗话中能够指一切不快的、难以启齿的物品。
that time of the month 或是 that time(也就是每个月的那几天)
the doctor says that women at that time of the month should avoid doing heavy work.
what does exercise mean for the menstrual cycle?
aunt flo 弗洛姨妈是的,他们又叫“姑姑”,而flo乃是玩了个文字游戏,暗喻”flow”,也就是每个月的”流血事件”。例如,
3、play hooky。hook是“挂勾、鱼钩”的意味。hooky做修饰词,是“钩状的”含意。可是hooky在这个口语表达中作名词,是“逃学者”的意味。
这一表达play hooky的意思是:be absent from school or stay away from work and duty without permission or an excuse. 没理由或没有容许就不去上学或工作。汉语里对应的意思是:逃课、旷工。这一表达还可以表明私自不参加活动和大会。
the lectures of that professor are boring. i’m thinking of playing hooky this time.
why aren’t you in school? are you playing hooky?
play hooky是一个美式英语表达,英式英语中常见skive 或 bunk off。澳大利亚和新西兰习惯用另一个词wag。当然你也可以应用通用表达,skip class,avoid work,or play truant。
4、a bad egg。这一口语表达的字面意思便是:一个坏鸡蛋。那在常见口语表达中大家能猜到是什么意思吗?就是我们常说的“坏人,浑蛋,坏家伙”,是指欠缺道德得人。
– in my book, he’sa bad egg,you’d better stay away from him.
乍一看,怎么像中式英语,只能说老外真的和我们想起一块儿来到。这种表达还有一些。
youknowwhat?hestoodmeupyesterday,heissucha bad egg.
5、用keep one’s nose clean表达“远离是非,少惹麻烦,安守本分”
这一口语表达并不是“把鼻部弄干净”的意味,而是“远离是非,少惹麻烦,安守本分”的意味。等同于:keep out of trouble, avoid getting into trouble。
they are in hot water now, so they are trying to keep their noses clean.
students have to keep their noses clean or they might be kicked out of school.
6、用turn a blind eye表达“假装看不见,置之不理,置若罔闻”
turn a blind eye。这一口语表达的意思是:pretend you don’t see it,也就是“假装看不见,置之不理,置若罔闻”。
i know what you are up to. i can’tturn a blind eye.keep itupandyou’ll end up in jail.
我明白你在干些什么事情。我不能置若罔闻,再这样下去你能进监狱的。
注意哦,turn a blind eye后边跟对象时,一般用介词to。也就是:turn a blind eyetosomeoneorsomething.
ifweturn a blind eyetotheproblem,ourcommunitywillgofrombadtoworse.
假如我们对这个问题睁只眼闭只眼,我们的社区将一落千丈。
youhavetoputupwith itandturn a blind eye.
另外还有一个口语表达和turn a blind eye很相似,那便是 turn a deaf ear.
you always turn a deaf ear to what i say.
7、用haters gonna hate表达“有些人便是看啥都不顺眼”
haters gonna hate。hater是“憎恨者”的意味,haters gonna hate!这一口语表达的意思是:there will always be those who criticize anything and everything,也就是“有些人便是看啥都不顺眼”,也就是说,便是不要在意别人的观点,走自己的路让别人说走吧。
keep your shirt on, please. you can’tpleaseeveryone.haters gonna hate.
你别发火,你不可能讨好每个人,有些人便是看啥都不顺眼。

8、用that’s it表达“难题就在这儿”等4种含意
that’s it。这一口语表达常见的有四种含意:
第一种表明找到问题所在,意思是说:“难题就在这儿”。
– this printer has broken again. we need a new one.
-that’s it.butwedon’t have enough money.
– that’s it.youcanleaveanytime.
第三种表示对某事感到失望或抵触,可译成“好啦”“算了”“够了”之类的意思。
well, that’s it.youstillfirmlyholdyourpointofview.there’s nothing i can do about you.
第四种指的是:“这就对了,就这样”。在口语中,用于表示赞同。
that’s it.you’ve done a great job!
9、in hot water。这一口语表达并不是在开水中的意思,它是指 to be in or get into trouble,也就是“碰到困难,处在水深火热之中”的意味。
that’s it.ourcompanyhasalreadybeen in hot waterthisyearowingtotherise inthecostofrawmaterials.
难题就在这,我们的公司今年因为原料成本增加,早已陷入绝境。

11、用bite my tongue表达“忍住不吭声,尽力忍受装聋作哑,不知所措”和“别人说的话不受欢迎,乌鸦嘴”bite one’s tongue。
最先,这一口语表达可作为表面意思用。平时生活节奏很快,有些人吃饭也很急,不小心就需到嘴巴了,就可以说:ouch! i bit my tongue! 哎哟,我咬到舌头了。
但作为口语中的常见习语,也有其他的意思。咬住了嘴巴就没办法讲话,那这个口语表达的意思是“忍住不吭声,尽力忍受装聋作哑,不知所措”。
my friend asked me what i thought of her new dress. it’s really ugly, but i couldn’t say that to her, so i just bit my tongue and told her it was nice.
我朋友问我感觉她新裙子如何。这一长裙其实挺丑的,但我无法直接跟她说。因此,我忍住不说,而是告知她挺好的。(心口不一,有没有?)
ihadtobite my tonguetokeepfromtellingherwhatireallythought.
i sat through that whole silly conversation biting my tongue.
此外,bite your tongue! 还常用在祈使句中,表明“别人说的话不受欢迎,乌鸦嘴”。
– i heard it’s going to rain tomorrow.
–bite your tongue! i’m supposed to go on a picnic tomorrow.
12、用a long shot表达“可能性不大的事,成功希望不大的尝试”
a long shot。这一口语表达本意是打球时的“远投”“远射”,毕竟是远投远射,成功的概率就很小,这一口语表达的意思是“可能性不大的事,成功希望不大的尝试”,an attempt or a guess that is not likely to be successful but is worth trying。
my favorite basketball team is in the final at the weekend. i hope they could win, but it’sa long shot.
我最喜欢的篮球队周末要打决赛了,我希望他们能赢,可是赢的机率不太大。
i don’thaveacluewhereheis,butasa long shoti’d say he’s gone to see his girlfriend.
just hang in there. although it’sa long shot,igotyourback.
13、用be for someone or something表达“赞成、允许、适用”
be for someone or something。be for 在这个表达中指出“赞成、允许、适用”,等同于be in favour of, agree, support。
那不允许、不赞成怎么讲?你可以用be against来描述。
we are against this proposal.
are you for these candidates, or against them?
james is running for office, and the whole family is for him.
be for 后边还能够跟doing something. 我们看2个这种例句:
i’m for abandoning the scheme.
i’m definitely not for cutting down the trees; we need the shade.
在be和for中间加个all,be all for,还能够表明“彻底赞成”。
i’m all for leaving work early today.
14、用go with it表达“解决,与…般配,将计就计,随遇而安”:go with it。这一口语表达比较常见的有三种含意。
第一种意思是“解决”,等同于deal with it

如果你觉得那个任务是件容易的事,她就会让你去解决。
– i’vegotapairofnewshoes.howaboutthisdresstogo with it?
– wow! you look like a million dollars!
it’salongshot, ifyoucan’tmake it,thenjustgo with it.
那是成功不大的试着,如果不能成功,那就顺其自然吧。
15、check someone out。经常出去旅游的朋友一定了解check out这一语句,便是在酒店“付款退租,办理退房手续”的意味。
wehavetocheck out inanhour,soyouguysseriouslyneedtostartpacking!
我们应该一个小时后就退租了,大家真的要开始整理行李了!
check out也有“查验,查询”的意味,英文口语中,在check out中间加上someone,便是“冲着别人查询,因对别人有兴趣全身上下打量别人”的意味。
–doyouseetheguyoverthere?he istotallycheckingyouout!
– you don’tsay.he isnotmycupoftea.
i realized tom was checking you out when we hung out last time.
if you are checking that hot girl out, please don’tmake itsoobvious.

我是新来的,你能教给点经验给我吗?我没有开玩笑的,我说的是确实。
17、用cut itout表达“停手,停住,打住,别闹了”
cut itout。这一表达在口语中并不是“将它剪下”的意味,而是“停手,停住,打住,别闹了”等含意。等同于:stop doing that! stop saying that! 便是提醒别人在行为或语言上终止做某事。
– i’msickofyoutwosquabbling.pleasejustcut itout. imean it.
18、用set a date表达“设置时间,定结婚日子”set a date。set是“设定、摆放”的意味, date是“时间、日子”的意味。set a date这一口语表达的意思是“设置时间”,它尤其能够用来表示“定结婚日子”。
–haveyouset a date?areyoureallygettingmarried?
此外,和set相关的常用口语表达也有 set the table : 摆桌子(准备吃饭) ,set the alarm (设置闹钟) 等。下边我们再来看2个跟这个口语表达相关的词组:
spread the tablecloth and set the table for dinner.
i set the alarm for a quarter to seven.
19、keep ittoyourself。这一口语表达是“保守秘密,把它放到内心,自己知道就行了”之类的意思。
–wouldyoumindhelpingmeonthisstuff?butyouhavetokeep ittoyourself.
– okay, you have my word.
20、i won’t have it。这一口语表达并不是“我不会有”的意味,它的意思是i won’t allow something to happen,便是:我不会让那般的情况发生,我不容许那般。
