It was yukky. 你從哪里弄了這吃的？那么難吃。10 與yukky相反的詞是yummy，好吃極了。說(shuō)這個(gè)詞時(shí)，要不然就把音拖

13、tor! 32 Yes,這是現(xiàn)在的小學(xué)生都會(huì)的單詞。但是大學(xué)英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)的人有時(shí)也搞錯(cuò)，例如，對(duì)于對(duì)方的否定句表示贊同時(shí)，很多時(shí)候，很多人仍舊會(huì)回答yes，而不會(huì)說(shuō)no。英語(yǔ)中表示同意的詞很多，如果實(shí)在無(wú)法立馬反應(yīng)過(guò)來(lái)，不妨用其他的詞。Absolutely, OK, you are right, exactly,certainly, yep, aye, just so, sure, right, correct, you said it. Iagree with you, 常用的還有sweat, you bet?；蛘吣憧梢哉f(shuō)：I hearyou.你說(shuō)的我明白。說(shuō)no的詞也有好幾個(gè)：nope, I

As long as theylove each other, age is not an

15、issue.（嗯，年齡在婚姻中應(yīng)該不是障礙，重要的是他們愛(ài)著對(duì)方，年齡不是問(wèn)題。）bizarre是一個(gè)美國(guó)人喜歡用的詞，意思是“稀奇古怪，不正常的”；That is a bizarre story.(這個(gè)故事太荒唐。) The nine-head-bird is reallybizarre.（九頭鳥(niǎo)是不可能有的事。）這是一句中國(guó)俗話(huà)，上、下聯(lián)是什么呢？ comes in the way of 的意思是“成為絆腳石”。34 有個(gè)朋友要我每到一地就給她寫(xiě)幾個(gè)字，這英語(yǔ)的表達(dá)法可以用“drop me a line”： Dont forget to dropme a line when you vis

16、it a new place. 我則可以回答：“Trust me. I wont. Illkeep you posted.”（沒(méi)問(wèn)題，我不會(huì)忘記的，我會(huì)隨時(shí)讓你知道我的近況。）post當(dāng)動(dòng)詞用，則是“郵寄，轉(zhuǎn)遞”，keepsomeone posted意思是keep in touch with someone, or touch base with someoneoften。只是很可惜，現(xiàn)在的中國(guó)郵局大部分都不辦理郵政業(yè)務(wù)，而是成為銀行了，所以信也沒(méi)法寄。Dropby的意思是，順便訪(fǎng)問(wèn)（沒(méi)有計(jì)劃的那種訪(fǎng)問(wèn)。）Please drop by sometime for a drink. - I dro

17、ppedby my best friends house to see if he was home. 不要朋友寫(xiě)信，就叫朋友打電話(huà)好了：Giveme a buzz. or Give me a ring. 都可以。35 上一篇中提到了一個(gè)詞soulmate，是那種心靈感應(yīng)的朋友，也可以用heart,例如說(shuō)，sweat heart，但這指戀人或關(guān)系特別密切的人。a heart toheart chat很誠(chéng)懇的溝通。I tried to have a heart to heart chat with him on thisissue, but it didnt work. 我費(fèi)了一番力氣想與他坦誠(chéng)

18、溝通，但沒(méi)有什么用。36他喝醉了。英文有好些說(shuō)法，很口語(yǔ)化的是：He is loaded. 就是drunk的意思。"When I talked to thepresident, he was loaded." Kissinger said about Nixon.基辛格談到尼克松時(shí)說(shuō)：“我跟總統(tǒng)談話(huà)時(shí)，他已經(jīng)喝得爛醉?！眜nder the influence ofalcohol也是喝醉了的意思，但這是個(gè)法律詞匯，意思是犯法了，尤其是在開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)，如果查出了司機(jī)是under the influence ofalcohol則可能要坐牢。而drunk, loaded雖是醉酒，但不違法

19、。很書(shū)面語(yǔ)的詞匯是“intoxicated,intoxication”。寫(xiě)到這里，我想起了昆明巫家壩機(jī)場(chǎng)的一副廣告：令人陶醉的地方-云南（大意），旁邊的英語(yǔ)是：Intoxication:Yunnan. 這是典型的中式英語(yǔ)，外國(guó)人看了不知所云，聽(tīng)上去好像是云南人都是酒鬼一樣。正確的英文應(yīng)該是：The mostattractive place: Yunnan;也可以說(shuō)：Breathtaking scenery:Yunnan.37 Heis a little bit punchy. 如果一個(gè)人晚上睡眠不足，早晨起來(lái)睡眼惺忪的樣子，我們可以說(shuō)他punchy.所以可以接著說(shuō)：Heneeds a cup

20、of coffee to wake up. 一個(gè)人看上去云里霧里的樣子都是punchy，與喝醉酒貌差不多。38 與load還有一個(gè)相關(guān)的口語(yǔ)詞：freeloading, 揩油，濫用別人的慷慨。My roommate wont payanything for the grocery. I end up feeding him three meals. I am reallyfed up with hisfreeloading.(他這樣揩我的油我實(shí)在是受不了。)揩油的人就叫“freeloader”，就是那種喜歡免費(fèi)的午餐的人（those whoenjoy free lunch）。39市場(chǎng)上有很多關(guān)

21、于學(xué)英語(yǔ)訣竅的書(shū)，但實(shí)際上，學(xué)英語(yǔ)就是一個(gè)背單詞、與遺忘作斗爭(zhēng)的過(guò)程。記憶力好的人總是少數(shù)。I cannot think ofthese English words off hand. One of the effective ways is to brush upon grammar rules a little bit everyday. There is simply no short cut.Off hand，我無(wú)法一下子就能想起這些英文單詞。 Brush up on 常常復(fù)習(xí)，shortcut，捷徑。學(xué)英語(yǔ)最好是每天學(xué)一點(diǎn)，堅(jiān)持不懈，集腋成裘：“Precept upon precep

22、t, here a little andthere a little, idea by idea,”（一次學(xué)個(gè)概念，這里學(xué)一點(diǎn)，那里學(xué)一點(diǎn)，一次接觸一個(gè)思想）?；蛘呶覀兛梢哉f(shuō) Alittle at a time, we can eat up an elephanteventually.（一次吃一口，我們最終可以把頭大象給吞了。） It is a big job, but we can get itdone.這個(gè)工作巨大，但我們可以把它做好。所以不要相信那些100天就可以把英語(yǔ)學(xué)好的廣告。如果有學(xué)生或一位網(wǎng)友100天可以學(xué)好英語(yǔ)的話(huà)，那我不就要失業(yè)了？40 堵塞?？吹健岸氯倍?，人們一般會(huì)想起

23、“jam”，如果是交通堵塞，用jam是沒(méi)錯(cuò)的。但是如果是下水道給堵塞了，最好要用clog。Itis too bad, my sink is clogged up again.“堵塞”還有一個(gè)英文詞“clot”: The streetwas clotted with traffic. 街上交通阻塞。血栓堵塞：blood clot?！岸氯闭降拿~是Congestion,如果吃東西給咽了，則是choking （food clogging in the throat.）41 Hang 是個(gè)常用的單詞，幾本意思是“掛，吊”?？谡Z(yǔ)中加上in 或者on后，其意思是堅(jiān)持。Hang in there, OK

24、?再在那里堅(jiān)持一會(huì)。Everybody hanging on. 每個(gè)人都再堅(jiān)持一下。Stay on. 也是“再堅(jiān)持一會(huì)”All relationships go through rough times.

26、他在這里看熱鬧實(shí)在是笨，他就是想看看警察在干什么，結(jié)果把自己給弄抓起來(lái)了。Hang up with 是約會(huì)的意思。He is hanging up now with Jane.42. 如果有人無(wú)所事事，你就可以說(shuō)：Get a job. 去做點(diǎn)正事吧。43.No need to panic. Dont panic不要慌張。44.You made your point. 我明白你的觀(guān)點(diǎn)（意見(jiàn)）了。或者：I heard you.45.You are nasty. 你真是可惡。nasty weather; a nasty trick nasty是個(gè)常用詞，表示厭惡。46.Stay cool, man.

29、 of college writing 大學(xué)寫(xiě)作初階nut 是螺帽， bolt 螺釘，螺帽螺釘是最基本的的東西，合在一起就是“基礎(chǔ)”。52.Licking good 味道好極了，licking是舔的意思，例如手抓羊肉，吃完后，再舔舔手，證明好吃。 It is licking good.53.My toes feel very itchy. Its really irritating. I think I have anathletes foot. 我腳趾癢得很，真煩人，我想我是得了香港腳氣。夏天還一個(gè)常常弄得皮膚很癢的是痱子Heat rash或heatburns，中暑是heat stroke，

32、ly threateningto those with their polished boots on the necks of the poor.真正的民主運(yùn)動(dòng)勢(shì)必會(huì)從根本上動(dòng)搖那些騎在窮人身上作威作福人的利益。Polished boots擦得锃亮的靴子，the neck of thepoor窮人的脖子，這個(gè)詞組很形象，就是富人階層把穿了靴子的腳架在窮人的脖子上。63China will not moveforward towards the ultimate goal of universal suffrage without theactive participation of thec
