   11. Shoot


  除了“射击”之意,还有以下日常用法:
  Whenever you need help, just shoot me an email.
  要帮忙的时候,发个邮件给我就行。(比send更口语化)
  - I've collected some negative comments on you.
  我这有一些关于你的负面评论。
  -Shoot.
  说。(类似于Go ahead,说吧。)
  I was shooting for100, but 98 is ok.
  我本想冲击一下100分的,不过98也挺好。
  Oh shoot...(其实就是Oh s**t! 的委婉说法)
  12. 告别时用语
  I'll leave you be.
  你继续忙吧。(类似于“打扰了”,“告辞了”。)
  I'm off.
  我走了。
  例句:
  - Well, it's been a great party. Good-bye. Got to go.
  派对很棒,我要走了,再见。
  - I'm off too. Bye.
  我也走了。拜拜。
  I've got to dash.
  我得闪了。(英国人常说。)
  13. Off the hook 1
  意为“从麻烦中脱身”,可以想象一条鱼脱离鱼钩的样子。
  He paid all the fines so he's finally off the hook now.
  他把罚款都缴清了,现在终于无事一身轻了。
  My sister broke up with her fiance, so I'm off the hook for buying her a wedding present.
  我姐姐和她未婚夫掰了,我也不用给她买结婚礼物了。
  此外,《绝望主妇》里面Bree问她儿子Andrew,现在年轻人还说"Awesome"吗?Andrew告诉她,他们现在都说"Off the hook"了,可见,这个词组也有Cool、awesome之意。
  14. Hands down
  有“绝对,毫无疑问”之意。可以这样联想,因为毫无疑问,所以不会举手提问,也就是hands down。
  My favorite TV show is hands down Friends.
  我最爱的电视剧当然是《老友记》。
  Hands down Ben Rowan is a git.
  Ben Rowan完全是个白痴。
  15. Though
  大家都熟悉though用于句首和句中表转折,但可能不太了解它放在句末的用法。
  - Do you want me to get you a cup of coffee?
  你要不要来杯咖啡?
  - No, I'm good. Thank you though.
  不用了,谢谢。
  另外一个用法常在网络上看到,通常是小女生为了吸引人们关注她提到的某个事物,在句末加上一个though,并没有实际意义,例如:
  (一只狗打了一个喷嚏,然后全身狂抖)
  That sneeze though.(重音在sneeze)
  哎妈呀这喷嚏。
  16. Sure/Of course
  当时初中学英语的时候记得这两个词经常一起出现,表达“当然”,一直模模糊糊地认为他们是一个意思,后来慢慢地才了解到他们的用法的区别。
  Sure一般用来表达欣然同意对方的提议,意为“好呀”:
  - Can I give you a call?
  我可以给你打电话吗?
  - Sure!
  好呀!
  - Would you like to get a cup of coffee or something?
  想要杯咖啡之类的吗?
  - Sure!
  好呀!
  而of course则有“那当然了”,“不用多说”的意味在里面:
  There are, of course, exceptions 2 to the rule.
  当然,规则总有例外。
  - What do you do now?
  你现在做什么了?
  - Still farming.
  还是农活。
  - Of course.
  当然。
  (此对话来自《唐顿庄园》里庄主Robert问他领地里的一位农民现在做些什么,农民回答还是做农活,并且一脸颓丧的样子,潜台词是“我还能做啥,还不是做做农活而已”,Robert听后稍愣了一下,大概觉得自己问的问题有点愚蠢,于是说了句Of course. 可见,如果问了一个本该知道答案的问题,对方回答后,你可以说这么一句Of course。)
  17. 模糊语气
  在表达“差不多”,“接近”,“……的样子” ,“之类的”等模糊的意思时,除了nearly, approximately, almost, kind of, sort of 等词汇外,更口语的说法还有or so,-ish,...something等:
  He has worked in the company for a year and two months or so.
  他在这个公司工作了一年零2个月左右。
  After dinner I had 30 cherries or so.
  饭后我吃了30来个樱桃。
  That movie was good-ish.
  那部电影还行吧。(此人应该觉得电影并不怎么好看。)
  That color is blue-ish.
  颜色大概是蓝色的吧。
  Let's meet around 9-ish.
  我们9点左右见吧。
  30 books every twenty-something girl must read.
  20多岁女生必读的30本书。
  Wanna a cup of water or something?
  想来杯水或什么的吗?
  18. Sense
  Sense的意思非常多,有“……感”,“意思/意识”,“目的”等,无法和一个中文词汇完全对应。国内用到a sense of的标配经常是a sense of humor,其实它可以使用的范围非常广。
  What is the sense of going out in the rain? (意为“目的”)
  冒雨出门到底为了啥?
  The purpose of the meeting is to let you get a sense of how we work.
  会议的目的就是让你感受一下我们的工作模式。
  Does that make sense to you?
  这么说你能明白么?
  (这句话很常见,通常在解释完某个复杂的事情或事物后,为了解对方是否听明白,会问这么一句,配以拧巴的眉头,微倾的脑袋。)
  19. 没听懂对方的话时
  听不懂或没听清对方的意思,这种状况常常发生,不论你是不是native speaker。除了Sorry? Excuse me? Could you repeat that? 以及英语课本里教的I beg your pardon? 可以用来要求对方再说一遍外,还可以这样告诉对方你没听清:
  - Sorry, you lost me.
  - Sorry, I didn't follow.
  20. A touch of
  意为"一点儿", 但是不是比a little, a bit of听起来要更有画面感?
  "Chinese White Tie" means White Tie with a touch of China.
  中式白领结的意思就是白领结晚宴着装中融入一些中国元素。
  (这是美国Vogue杂志主编Anna Wintour给记者解释刚过去的中国主题Met Gala的dress code 3的含义时用的原句。)
  另外,生了小病也可以用这个词。
  I have a touch of flu and need some rest.
  我有点感冒,需要休息。

vt.钩住;n.钩子,钩状物
  • The blacksmith forged a bar of iron into a hook.铁匠把一根铁条锻造成一个钩子。
  • He hangs up his scarf on the hook behind the door.他把围巾挂在门后的衣钩上。
例外( exception的名词复数 ); 不包括在内的人(或物); 规则的例外; 例外的事物
  • Most children like sweets, but there are some exceptions. 大多数孩子喜欢吃糖果,但也有一些例外。
  • Such exceptions do not invalidate the rule. 这些例外并不证明此规则无效。
