老外常挂在嘴边的“chill”，到底啥意思？

他们有时聚在一起，看场电影放松一下。

netflix and chill

外国社交平台流行语，最初的意思是“待在家里看看电视，放松放松”，现在多跟性暗示挂钩，性爱的一种委婉说法。

hang out不一定是“出去玩”？

英文释义：If you hang out in a particular place or area, you go and stay there for no particular reason, or spend a lot of time there.

很多同学看到“hang out”，都会翻译成“出去玩”，但其实这个表达本身的意思是在某个地方逗留，消遣，或者花上很多时间。不一定非得出去，你也可以说“hang out at home”

如果一定要表示出去，可以说“go out”。但“go out”也没有这么简单，除了“出去”的意思，还有多层含义，了解一下：

①（尤指为了去娱乐）外出，出门参加社交活动

英文释义：to leave a room or building, especially in order to do something for entertainment

Do you want to go out for a drink after work?

你下了班想不想到外面喝一杯？

It's terribly smoky in here - I'm just going out for a breath of fresh air.

这里面乌烟瘴气的——我只是出去呼吸一下新鲜空气。

Please close the door as you go out.

你出去玩的时候请把门关上。

这个表达后面可以加动词ing形式。

She goes out partying with her friends every weekend.

她每个周末都出去跟朋友聚会。

②（与某人）谈恋爱（通常有性关系）

英文释义：to have a romantic and usually sexual relationship with someone

这种说法很容易和“出去”混淆，如果别人说的是“谈恋爱”，但你理解成了“出去”，就有点尴尬了。比如下面这个例句，想表达的是他离婚后没有再谈恋爱，如果理解成离婚后再没出去过，就有些离谱了。所以理解的时候一定要注意语境。

He hasn't gone out with anyone since he got divorced two years ago.

他两年前离婚后没有和任何人谈过恋爱。

How long have you been going out with him?

你跟他恋爱有多长时间了？

They'd been going out (together/with each other) for almost five years before he moved in with her.

在他搬过来和她同居之前，他们已经恋爱了将近5年。

③退潮，落潮

英文释义：If the tide goes out, it moves back and covers less of the beach.

If the tide goes out, it moves back and covers less of the beach.

只有退潮后，你才能看到海滩。

④熄灭

英文释义：If a light or something that is burning goes out, it stops producing light or heat.

When I woke up the fire had gone out.

当我醒来时，火已经熄了。

⑤（在比赛中）被淘汰，出局

英文释义：to lose when you are playing in a sports competition, so that you must stop playing in the competition

England went out to France in the second round of the championship.

锦标赛第二轮比赛中英格兰队被法国队淘汰出局。返回搜狐，查看更多
