   你还能再“二”些吗?


  “二”是现在一个很火的词,可以用来形容一个人头脑简单,行为愚蠢。那么在英语中如何地道地表达“二”的意思呢?其实就是一个很简单的词:thick。
  “Thick”这个词我们初中就学过了,就是“厚”的意思。可是我们今天要说的,是thick在口语中另外一个常用的意思:“Lacking mental agility 1; of low intelligence; stupid。如果你看过《哈利 波特》,那么你会发现thick简直就是赫敏和罗恩经常挂在嘴边的一个词。
  我们举几个例子:
  Even they aren't that thick.就连他们也没那么二。
  How thick could you get?你还能再二一点吗?
  Thick heads!蠢货!
  But sometimes, you can be really thick.但是有时候,你可真够傻的。
  虽然上面这几句话中的thick都可以表示stupid的意思,但是并不是所有情况都可以替换成stupid,特别是最后一句,当赫敏对哈利说:“But sometimes, you can be really thick.”的时候,thick代表的是一种傻傻的执着与盲目,在这种略带埋怨的责备后边是一种“你可以依靠朋友的帮助,比如说我和罗恩,而不用一个人去涉险”的潜台词,在这个时候换成stupid的话,这层意思恐怕就表达不出来了。
  当然thick还有其他很多意思,比如说“夸大其词”或者“吹牛”——lay it on thick; pour it on thick; spread it on thick等。

n.敏捷,活泼
  • The boy came upstairs with agility.那男孩敏捷地走上楼来。
  • His intellect and mental agility have never been in doubt.他的才智和机敏从未受到怀疑。
