   听到同事说了一件挺糟糕的事情,你会怎么样回应呢?Oh, that's too bad?这句话好像有点过时了哦。现在更地道的说法似乎是That sucks。今天我们就来说一些美国人常用的地道表达。


  1. XYZ 检查你的拉链
  Hey, man. XYZ。
  老兄啊! 检查一下你的拉链吧。
  "XYZ" 是 "Check your zipper 1" 的意思。美国人填表做选项的时候多用打"X"来表示。这个打”X“的动作就叫"Check",也就是XYZ 中的X。Y 代表Your,Z当然代表Zipper 了!
  2. kick ass 2 了不起
  A: Wow, you fixed 3 my computer in less than 10 minutes. You're good。
  哇! 你不到十分钟就把我的计算机修好了! 你真棒!
  B: Yep. I just kick ass。
  是的! 我就是了不起!
  3. click (两人)合得来
  I really like talking to her. I think we two really click。
  我很喜欢和她说话。我觉得我们两个蛮合得来的。
  4. suck 差劲; 糟透了
  A: Guess what? We've just now missed the bus, and the next one won't come for another 45 minutes。
  知道吗? 我们刚好错过公车了,而下一班车还要四十五分钟才会来。
  B: That sucks。
  太糟糕了!
  5. all set 一切准备妥当
  A. Is my car ready yet?
  我的车好了吗?
  B: Yep! We just need to get this paper work done and you'll be all set。
  是的! 我们只要把这份证明填好,一切就都准备妥当了!
  6. My hands are tied. 我无能为力。
  A: Mr. Chapman, can I hand in my homework next time. I left it at home。
  先生,我能不能下次再交作业呢? 我把功课忘在家里了。
  B: All of the scores must be given to the office by Friday, so you must have your homework today. It is a school rule and there is nothing I can do. My hands are tied!。
  所有的分数都必须在礼拜五前交到办公室,所以你今天必须交作业。这是学校的规定,我无能为力。
  "My hands are tied." 并不是真正的“手被绑起来”的意思,而是指“没办法”的意思。比如电话响了,你很忙不能接,也可以说"Can you get it? My hands are tied." (我很忙,你能接一下吗?")

n.拉链;v.拉上拉链
  • The zipper is red.这条拉链是红色的。
  • The zipper is a wonderful invention.拉链是个了不起的发明。
n.驴;傻瓜,蠢笨的人
  • He is not an ass as they make him.他不象大家猜想的那样笨。
  • An ass endures his burden but not more than his burden.驴能负重但不能超过它能力所负担的。
adj.固定的,不变的,准备好的;(计算机)固定的
  • Have you two fixed on a date for the wedding yet?你们俩选定婚期了吗?
  • Once the aim is fixed,we should not change it arbitrarily.目标一旦确定,我们就不应该随意改变。
