国外最常说的这些俚语，你都听过吗？

其实，在语言学习的过程中最有趣的过程对我来说应该就是将语言的学习和文化背景紧密结合起来，通过某些语言更好地了解到文化背后深层的含义。虽然语言有时候的确靠文本还有硬性的听说读写才会让你觉得自己更稳定的掌握知识技巧，但是兴趣往往有时却是更好的学习语言的利器。

我从念书的时候就开始有一些学习语言的比较有趣的习惯。因为自己很爱刷美剧，喜欢的美剧可以重复刷五遍十遍，所以刷到后来我觉得为什么看到的这些有趣的表达不能记录下来呢？这或许也算是种对自己来看比较良好的一种学习记录吧。所以不知不觉，也整理了三个厚厚笔记本专门用以记录在英美剧还有国外电影里一些有趣的表达，以及我在国外的时候，朋友经常会说一些让我觉得眼前一亮的表达。下面来一起看一下这些有趣的表达吧，附：所有解释性文本都从词典查询并且再翻译便于大家学习了解。

1. have some hormones

“have some of something”means“be more like typical person who has”。比如，当一个人不敢做某事时，朋友会说：“don’t be so scared, have some courage.”意思是“别这么害怕，做个有勇气的人吧！”

文本的hormones愿意是荷尔蒙的意思，在这个男1的意思是男2应该去去看看女人而不是呆在家里一直替自己感到伤心，所以hormone的意思是sexual urges，整句话的意思就是“去找点乐子吧！（去找女人dating吧！）

2. turn on

turn on通常的意思有开关打开，音量调高的意思。当它放在日常用语中还有某种引起某人兴趣，促使某人对某些特定事物产生获取知识或赞赏的意思。

A：Definition: to move pleasurably. 举例：rock music turns her on（摇滚乐让她嗨起来）

Also：to excite sexually.（刺激荷尔蒙）

B：Definition: to cause to gain knowledge or appreciation of something specified.举例：turned her on to ballet（这件事使她拥有学芭蕾的动力）

C：to cause to undergo an intense often visionary experience by taking a drug

Broadly

也就是说：某人吸大麻吸嗨了（to cause to get high）

3. what are you up to tonight？

它的意思等同于“what are you doing tonight”（你打算如何度过今晚？）

it’s a casual way saying hello.也就是一种更随意自然的展开话题的表达方法，类似于“what are you doing（你在做什么呢？）”

举例：A: hey, Rob, how are you?

B: hey, good, thank u, you?

A:I am good. What are you up to?

B: oh, I am just making dinner.

它也可以是一种形式来问“are you busy？”

举例：A: Hi Rob, how are you?

B: Hey Jan. Good, thanks, you?

A: I’m good. What are you up to?

B: I’m just leaving for work. I’m sorry I can’t really talk right now.

A: It’s ok. I’ll catch you later. Bye.

有时还可以用这句话来和一个你平时不能天天见到的人来聊天，或者是你很久没有见到的家人或是朋友，当他们问What have you been up to？就是在问从上次见到你到现在你发生了些什么事。

举例：A: Paulo, it’s so good to see you! What have you been up to?

B: Hi Mia! I’m fine, still working a lot. How about you? What have you been up to?

A: Oh, the kids are keeping me busy. Tomas is playing soccer this fall. Roberto got a new job and we moved to Chicago three months ago.

4.l will not take this abuse.

意思是我不会理睬这种羞辱。Take的表达形式多种多样，通常意思有拿起、搭车等等含义，这里的表达是我不会接受这种羞辱。这种表达是一种开玩笑的语调来回答，it means you will not tolerate being treated poorly.

5.have a crush on sb.

Definition：to have a romantic infatuation with someone, especially unbeknownst to that person.

Crush字典里的本意是“压碎、碾碎”的意思，而它的另一层、也就是这个短语crush的含义是指“短暂地、热烈地但又是羞涩的爱恋”。更深层去形容，就是对某个求而不得的人，无法言喻的短暂而强烈的痴迷。

有时也指当我们并不真正认识对方，对对方无太多了解，但义无反顾地认为自己“坠入爱河”，crush在关系上是主要是单箭头，但单箭头也决定了crush通常难以持续太长时间。

于是have a crush on somebody被字典很好的解释为：A crush is an overwhelming, breath-stealing, usually short lived feeling towards someone else. It is often nonsensical, frequently delicious, a supremely fun, dream laden, hallucinogenic dead end.

仔细体会一下breath-stealing，delicious这种偷走你呼吸的甜蜜感觉，多完美的解释。

6.crash

“crashing” tends to mean falling asleep, usually in a spontaneous, unplanned way.也就是指通常是以一种无意识随意的方式凑合一晚。

举例： “I was originally going to go home after the party, but by the time we cleaned up it was 3am, so I just crashed on the couch”.（我在派对后本来要回家，但是等我们清理完已经凌晨三点了，所以我就临时在沙发上凑合了一晚）

“Crashing” can also mean showing up somewhere uninvited 出现在了某个未被邀请的地方，比如crashing a party, crashing a wedding

举例：you’re “crashing” by expecting them to host you overnight without explicit permission or advance planning.

7.issue

issue通常的意思是指一个重要的议题或话题，例如：an economic issue（一个经济问题），它还有意思是两个或多个党派之间的争论，或是发布著作等行为。而在日常用语中，它也可以延伸为烦恼的意思。

举例：do you have any issues？这句话通常用在当碰见别人闷闷不乐时，可以问他，你有什么烦恼吗？

8.stomp on one’s heart

这句短语的意思是让某人心碎。这是一句很有趣的表达，stomp作为动词在牛津里的意思是tread heavily and noisily, typically in order to show anger.里面带有愤怒，用力的意思。简单翻译过来就是用力踩踏某人的心，继而引申为让某人心碎。所以，当被分手时候，大家往往可以用这句短语来表达：he/she stomped on my heart.

9.things change, roll with the punches

这句话的意思类似于中文“世事难料，宾来将挡”。Roll with the punches在词典里的意思为to maneuver one’s body away from a blow so as to lessen the force of the impact,继而延伸为 to adapt to setbacks, difficulties, or adversity so as to better manage or cope with their impact on one’s life.（去适应一些困难来更好地解决这些困难带给生活的影响）

这句话出自美剧老友记里，ross的lesbian前妻即将怀孕，她和妻子纠结不安，ross便说了这句话来安慰。

10.bossing around

这句话也十分形象生动，boss原意是老板的意思，bossing around指给某人下命令，让某人做某事，有一种颐指气使的感觉在里头。

曾经在澳洲工作的时候我的朋友经常会和我抱怨“she just like keeping bossing around”. （我们的上司就喜欢不停地指使我们干活）

11.feel the thing

feel原意是感觉、感受的意思，例如“how are you feeling?”（你感觉怎么样？）

feel the thing这句话原文也是出自美剧，女1说，y’know what? I just don’t feel the thing.意思就是，我就是对他们不来电。

Definition：is referring to the emotions, passion, or magic that everyone should feel in a relationship.（指的是一种在一段关系里每个人都应该有的一种热烈的情感）

12.spin

原意是旋转、控制的意思，其实它还有政治上的扭转、控制之意。当其放在生活用语上，例如短语“put a spin on sth”也有对负面事实加以光彩积极的描述。

例如，美国某州的治安很乱，但是该州警察却对另一个州的警察说，我们的州今年犯罪率下降了，但其实还是改变不了犯罪率第一的事实。这时候就可以用put a spin on sth.

13.the glass is half empty

直译过来是杯子的一半是空的，它的意思其实指的是悲观之人。所以它的另一个反义短语the glass is half-full，意思就是乐观之人。这句话第一次表达来自20世纪初，它被作为一个测试方式来判断一个人是如何看待这个世界的。当它只能看到一个杯子里的百分之五十的水时，那么他被判断是以一种悲观的角度看世界。

举例：女1被公司炒鱿鱼，女2安慰她说：“hey, I know this seems scary now, but I always try to see that the glass is half-full, instead of half empty.’’(我知道这件事现在看起来很可怕，但是我一直都尽量去乐观看待，而不是保持悲观)

14.关于mind的几种表达法

blow one’s mind 对某件事感到既惊奇又兴奋，即affect someone very strongly（给某人以一种很大的影响）最好的形容方式是to overwhelm a person with intense excitement, pleasure.

举例：I saw her show in Manchester and it just blew my mind.（我看到她在曼彻斯特的演出了，实在是太令人惊奇了！）

beyond my mind 指我无法理解，超出了我的理解范围

beyond有超出的意思，mind有思想之意，超出了我的思想，转化一下理解为我无法理解某件事。

15.there you go

definition：1.this is what you wanted

举例：there you are.-that’ll be 3.8dollers plz.（这是你要的商品，一共是3.8刀谢谢）

2.expressing confirmation, triumph, or resignation（表达一种肯定、赞赏的意思）

举例：there you are! I told you the problem will be solved.(对吧！我告诉过你问题会被解决的)

16.chip in

chip指的是碎片、琐碎之物，chip in的意思则有一起贡献某物或钱财来参与某项活动，有donate、contribute的意思。

举例：we all chipped in.(我们都凑了钱)

17.表赞同、支持

表赞同可以有很多表达方式，比如我们可以用单词support、sustain来表达支持某人，而在短语中，也有一些可以表达赞同的含义。

1. Behind sb/sth在某人身后，引申为支持某人、某事的意思

2. Be with sb 和某人在一起，也可以引申为支持某人

3. Back sb up 支持某人，这里backup还可以连在一起作名词来使用，意思也是支持、后备军的意思

18.l am hot!

大家是不是脑海中首先想到的是意思是“我好热”，它的确有这个意思，但如果你还是只想着我好热的话，你就out了！l am hot还可以用来表达我身材很好（但没人会这么夸自己吧）的意思，但它在日常口语表达中还有一个很常用的意思是“我好兴奋”。

举例：男1拿到了他想要的球赛门票，他就可以说：“l am so hot!”

19.nice save

直译过来就是很好的解救，但是再转换为日常用语它通常就被作为用于圆场时的情况。

Definition：it means that somebody did a good job at saving a situation from getting going bad.

在网球比赛中，对方的一个球即将击打落地时，此时如果你的队友来了一个猛击将球完美救起，你就可以跟她说“nice save！”或者当某人陷入一种尴尬的局面时，你说了一些话缓解了场面的氛围，这时在场就有人可以偷偷跟你说“nice save”。

20.it’s textbook

直接看这句短语意思就是这是一本教科书。但是它却是一个在日常生活中很常用的短语，它的意思是“这很典型”。

举例：一个心理学家在帮助一个病人了解他存在什么样的心理问题，这个病人告诉他他的幼年家庭情况然后心理学家从他的描述中给出了一个结论。当病人问道，你是怎么会知道我的问题是这个呢？心理学家就说：“你的故事很典型。”也就是说，他看过许多和你类似的病人，所以很好得知为什么你会有这样的心理问题。他的回答就可以用这句短语it’s textbook

来表达。

今天的日常用语表达暂时就分享这么多啦！

最后，我想说，刷剧看电影有时候虽然是一种消遣的方式，但不妨有时候做一些简单的思考，了解为什么人家是这样表达的，放在不同语境里原来有这么多的意思。同时放到日常生活中表达，才能做到学以致用。

21. You got screwed

这句话的意思是，你受骗了。比如，当你的好朋友说前任跟她借了几万块钱没还，但是他却提了分手。

这时候你就可以说，You got screwed.

25.Dear diary moment

Definition: this refers to an extraordinary circumstances.比如说，当某人有幸能够和一个足球队长约会的话，她就会想要把date的经历写进日记本里来作为一种美好的回忆，这种日记通常是一种自己的私密日记。所以在写日记时，她们会称它为dear diary，有种和日记说话的意思，而有些人写着这个日记仿佛就像是写给自己的一位关系亲密的朋友。

26.get it together

Definition: make a decision or take a positive action in your life.（作出一些积极的决定或是在人生选择上有了一个很积极的行动）

52.such a slap in the face

56.going home with a note

这是个什么表达。当一个学生在上课的时候，老师通常会用一种讽刺的口吻说，现在你有什么需要在这个时刻和别人分享的吗？（意指学生不专心听讲）。

1995年的时候，对学生来说一种严重的惩罚就是going home with a note，因为它特别有效并且会让这个学生心烦意乱很长一段时间，这种惩罚包括许多部分，在学校里觉得很受到羞辱，因为通常老师会对学生一对一留下来并且写一张纸条给你的父母并且向他们解释你不好的表现；回家路上又很担心，因为要给父母这个note；到家后很害怕，比如内心会有种种心理活动like“do I give them the note right away or should I wait until tomorrow?”;然后返校时觉得十分尴尬。因此这就是这个短语的由来。

在美剧里有一次当女生在表演的时候台下一个男孩子在聊天，她就借用了这种classroom的表现法，质问他“Is it something that you would like to share with the entire group?”然后她朋友就在底下偷偷说，“ops!That guy is going home with a note.”

是不是很搞笑？（笑一笑呗！）

举例：My question has to do with last week’s assignment.(我的问题和上周的任务有关)

59.l snapped!

这句话是什么意思，经常听到有人在愤怒爆发了之后突然来一句，l snapped!它其实就是一种表达，在人们释放了它们愤怒或爆发的情绪之后说的一句话，意思是I just went mad for a second.但是它有时候还可以意味着突然有了一个情绪上的爆发。（suddenly having a mental breakdown）

60.thingy

第一次看到这个单词的你会不会联想到它或许是指一个小物品的意思或者是对一件物品的亲昵爱称，类似西班牙语里的指小词一样？其实不是的。thingy的意思就是指一个模糊的、暂时想不起名字的一个东西，举个例子：Can you pass me that thingy-you know, that clip thing for holding things together.

其实它就是一个slang俚语来表达一个物品。

61. phone it in

phone in有打电话进来的意思，那么phone it in的意思则大不相同，它的意思是用很低的热情做某事或是对某事毫无热情。To do something with low enthusiasm or effort.这句短语起始于美国20世纪30年代，在戏剧表演者中有一个广泛的笑话流传，在表演中经常有那种很小的角色他们甚至不需要出现在现场表演而是通过电话就可以表演了。于是这个表达就不断流传在90年代几乎人人都在使用，比如说I really do work on being in the moment, and I definitely don’t phone in.(我真的在认真工作，而且我绝对不是在应付它)

62.plunge somebody into

Definition: to push something into something quickly and forcefully.(直译为使某件事快速被推进，引申为使某人或某件事陷入或经历什么)

例如可以说Some people have cravings for power or fame.（有的人对权力和声望有着很强烈的欲望）

66.make a move on somebody和make a pass at somebody

make a move on somebody和make a pass at somebody意思相差不大，二者都带有seduce（引诱）的意思。第一个的意思是try to start sexual activity with someone,但是它更偏向于negatively方面的应用，举例：ew!that guy made a move on you?He is like twice your age.（天啊那个对你上下其手的男人几乎都是你年龄的两倍了！）；

第二个的意思是try to kiss or touch another person with the intention of starting a sexual relationship with them，但是它不强调negatively方面。

67.kick your butts

Definition: to defeat someone or something decisively.(会把你打得屁滚尿流的意思)

通常可以用在打比赛中，比如：The other team kicked our butts.

第二个意思：to be very effective or successful.通常在这种情况下使用时kick和butts中间不加别的词

eg: This new strategy is really kicking butt!（这个新策略真的很有用）

第三个意思：to be excellent or exceptional.

eg: That movie kicked butt! All movies should be like that!

第四个意思：to motivate one or shock one out of complacency（鼓励或是触动一个自满的人）

eg:The professor’s speech today kind of kicked my butt an made me realize I need to start apply myself.（今天这个教授的演讲让我从自满中跳了出来并且让我意识到我需要努力）

68.swoop in

意思是趁虚而入、突然进入的意思。to move very quickly and easily through the air,especially down from a high position in order to attack.

eg:1.This hero of the sky is always ready to swoop in for the rescue.

2.She just broke up with that guy, it’s time for you to swoop in.

69.usher

这个词可以做名词也可以作动词使用，作动词使用时指的是If you usher someone somewhere, you show them where they should go, often by going with them.

eg:I ushered him into the office.

作名词使用时，means a person who shows people where to sit, for example at a wedding or at a concert.

eg: He did part-time work as an usher in a theatre.

它还有一个词组叫做usher in,means if one thing ushers in another thing, it indicates that the other thing is about to begin.

eg: a unique opportunity to usher in a new era of stability in Europe.

70.swear off

Definition: to make a decisión to stop doing,using or being involed with someone harmful,such as drugs or alcohol, or something that is not good or helpful.

美剧里女主被一个渣男骗了很伤心于是她跟朋友说再也不想接近男人，朋友安慰道：I don’t think swearing off guys altogether is not the answer.（我不认为远离所有的男人是个好主意）

71.check的各种用法

举个最简单的例子，我们通常看到check out就会想到退房，但是这只是check out最基本的表达方式。它还有各种各样的不同表达，比如我们在机场餐厅会看到check your coat的海关检查标示，会不会有人纠结，怎么这么严格连外套都要专门检查。其实check在这里是寄放的意思。比如：you may check your coat at the door（请将外套寄放在门口的衣帽间）。那么coat check自然就是衣帽间的意思。

同时check在机场还经常被听到，例如它还有托运的意思。举例：I got my boarding pass and checked my suitcase.（我拿到了登机牌而且托运了行李）,还有You can check your luggage right through to its final destination.（你可以直接把行李托运到终点）。所以如果你在机场check-in时，如果有人问你do you have anything to check？你如果此时开箱给他检查，就会闹笑话了。

接着在看一些check 的进阶用法：

1. 查字典不等于check dictionary。中文说的查字典并不是真的检查字典，而是在字典里找字的意思，查可以用consult，he often consults a dictionary when he reads the book.

2. The accouts check. check原意为检查，这里应当延伸为每一项都检查过了并且核对无误，所以这个句子的意思就是账目核对无误。同时大家都熟悉的check out，它除了退房的意思，还有合格、通过考试的意思。

72.set somebody up

我记得美剧里有个情节是朋友们围成一桌打牌，然后结束之后有个朋友要走，其他人就说，wohoo.你还没给钱呢！（打牌赌输的钱）所以翻译多来就是，we gonna settle!（我们要来算钱啦！或者你要来给我们付钱啦！）

74.hold me over

指的是当你很饿的时候想吃东西但是又不想坏了吃正餐的胃口，所以通常会选择吃一些小零食小点心等缓过那阵饥饿感。

(A small snack you eat when you hungry but don’t want to ruin your dinner, just something to hold you over until your next main meal.)

也可以直接作为一个名词使用，举例：oh man i am hungry but dont want to ruin my dinner, i need a hold me over!

75.pop跟不同介词的不同含义

pop通常作名词时可以指pop music（流行音乐），作动词时还可以指爆米花、气球等产生的爆破声。pop可以和in,out,round介词连用，都可以指去某个地方，强调时间短。但具体的含义有所不同。

pop out指出去一下，英国人通常用这个词组来表达出去买点东西、吃饭或者办点事，这些事情大多耗时较短。举例：I am popping out for a cup of coffee;

pop in or pop into指表达去某个具体的地方，比如说，去邮局寄信。又比如，参加朋友的聚会，只是去打了个招呼没有呆多久就走了。

在口语中，也有去某人家里短暂地拜访、做客的意思。举例：Pop in sometime if you are ever around;

pop around指去一趟，强调从一个地方到另一个地方的过程，比如：I am quite pressed for time this afternoon, but i will pop round to your office some time later.

76.放鸽子的各种表达

经常在生活中遇上被放鸽子事件，它也有几种口语表达放大。

1. get stood up 被某人放鸽子了

举例：I can not believe I got stood up by her.

2. no-show 比如某个人去相亲blind-date，结果那个人还没出现，这时候就可以说，that person was a no-show.

3. bail on somebody

这就是放鸽子最基本的表达，可以说he or she bailed on me at that day.

77.Be that as it may

举例：Building a new children’s home will cost a lot of money but, be that as it may, there is an urgent need for the facility.

78.get的用法

经常我们在美剧里会听到You got me! OR I got you!等等类似的表达。它们乍一听起来十分相像，但是意思却大不相同。

1. you get me/ I get you=你懂我的意思/我了解

you get me means you understand what I am saying.eg: I need to have a rest right now.此时我朋友就可以说：I get you

2. you got me/I got you=被你发现了/我发现了

eg：A: Did you just tell a lie?

B:You got me.

3. You got me there!=我不知道、你考倒我了

我不知道除了可以用I don’t know，还可以用这个句子来表达。

举例：Why our boss called you?-You got me there.

(我们老板干嘛打电话给你？-你问倒我了，我也不知道)

4. get his/hers=他/她应有的报应

举例：That theif stole all the things from that poor guy, he will get his just before long.

5. You got it

电影《谍影重重4》开头就有个对话，女：Can you tell Mr.Hillcott I am here? 男：You got it !

这个句子在口语中很常见，但含义并不相同。这句话中的含义由：按你说的办，引申为“没问题，放心吧”

此时如果用l got it，基本含义上没什么差别，但是重点在于自己。比如：A: Get me out there! B:I got it!

同时you got it还有表达“你正确”或是“我赞同”的意思，举例：-Honey, our car was broken, how to get there?

-I got it. We can ask someone to help…

79.throw caution to the wind

Definition: to do something without worrying about the risk or negative results.

举例：I threw caution to the wind and bought the most expensive one.

（我根本不考虑后果地买了最贵的那一只）

美剧老友记里有一集莫妮卡的信用卡被偷了，她震惊于小偷用她的卡挥霍无度，此时罗斯就讽刺了一句，当人家偷了你的卡后，他们当然是要不计后果地挥霍无度啦（毕竟不是自己的钱）

原句是：I think when someone steals your credit card, they’ve kind of already thrown caution to the wind.

80.humping

这个词作名词和动词意思不同，作名词时它的意思为驼峰，比如说你要说一个人驼背也可以说somebody has a hump；而作为动词时它的意思有使隆起，还有与某人性交的意思（美国俚语）；而俚语中还有另外两种表达，第一个是使自己苦干的意思，还有一个就是快速地移动。

81.be intimidated by

Definition: frightened or nervous because you are not confident in a situation.

举例：Older people can feel very intimidated by computers.

经常也可以说，某人对另一个人很不自信很紧张很害羞，比如网上就有很多人会问这种问题：Why my BF intimidates me?

82.something rings a bell with somebody

意思是某人对某事有印象，想起某事的意思。它是由动画片演化出来的有趣英文短语，我们都知道动画片里某个小动物想起什么事情，都有一个“叮”的声音。

83.all over again

再来一遍的意思，但是要注意的是这个词组放在褒义贬义里有不同的感觉，比如I wish I could do this all over again.（我希望我可以从头再来一遍）；另一个句子crap! It’s gym class all over again.(联系上下文，如果要以消极态度来用这个短语，这句话就变成了，天哪！体育课的噩梦又再次重演了。)

84.beats me

Definition: used to say that you do not know something, or cannot understand or explain it.

举例：-What is he saying ?-Beats me (他说了啥？-你可问倒我了)

85.pipe dream

Definition: an idea or plan that is impossible or very unlikely to happen.

举例：Her plans are not realistic- they will never be more than a pipe dream.

直翻可以为白日梦或者遥不可及的梦想。

86. vigilante justice

指的是非执法人员私自执法，someone who takes the law into his/her own hands by trying and/or punishing another person without any legal authorities.

所谓的维吉兰特正义，在漫威电影里体现的淋漓尽致。

最后，我想说，刷剧看电影有时候虽然是一种消遣的方式，但不妨有时候做一些简单的思考，了解为什么人家是这样表达的，放在不同语境里原来有这么多的意思。同时放到日常生活中表达，才能做到学以致用。
