现在来学习100个奇葩的英式俚语(下)
英式俚语 各种味道
站长按:一听到俚语,许多人可能会谈虎色变,大多会采取避而远之的态度。这或许是因为俚语在汉语中通常指粗俗的或通行面极窄的方言词。根据大多数英语词典的解释,slang通常指由某一类人所使用的、非常口语化的词语,而且这些词语中有一部分甚至可能会冒犯别人。
“英式俚语”是英国人民在日常生活中总结出来的通俗易懂顺口的具有地方色彩的词语,Slang在生活中很常见,但却对非母语的族群是一个很大的理解障碍;像前不久火了一阵子的美国新词“YOLO”(you only live once),着实让人摸不着头脑;当然,同为中国人,你也许也不知道“冒痞”,“各色”,“拎不清”是什么意思。
