break a leg翻译成 打断腿?笑死人不偿命!

2019-01-09  本文已影响60人  有约不过夜来半

Shake a leg不是抖腿!My leg is falling asleep不是“腿要睡觉”

口语中这些 leg 可都不是腿!

Shake a leg≠抖腿

Shake a leg=hurry up

催促你加快脚步,比hurry up更地道

Shake a leg, they're getting impatient.

赶紧的吧,他们已经等得不耐烦了。

Show a leg≠亮大腿

Show a leg=get up

起床了

He showed a leg with the dawn.

他天一亮就起床了。

Break a leg≠打断腿

Break a leg=good luck

祝好运

Let's all go and do our best. Break a leg!

让我们都尽力加油吧!祝我们好运!

My leg is falling asleep 是什么意思?

my leg is falling asleep

=腿快麻了(可能蹲太久、压太久)

be falling asleep=快麻了

(胳膊啊腿啊好像要睡着了)

例句:

Sorry, but I have to move, my leg is falling asleep.

抱歉我必须活动下,腿快麻了。

When I woke up, my arm had gone to sleep.

我醒来时胳膊已经麻了。

大腿小腿怎么说?

人的大腿小腿

吃的鸡腿羊腿

这些 "腿" 统统不说leg !

大腿=thigh

小腿=calf

鸡腿=drumstick

羊腿=gigot

1、Work like a dog

从字面意思我们就很容易理解“像狗一样的工作”,我们可以回想一下,狗狗工作起来是什么样的,很勤恳很努力对不对。所以“work like a dog”就是指“工作非常努力”的意思,这不是一个贬义词,而是在夸赞别人工作认真努力,大家可以放心用。

例句:If you want to be successful, you must work like a dog .

如果你想要成功,就必须努力工作。

那问题来了,“累成狗”怎么说呢?其实很好理解,累成狗表示一种劳累程度,我们可以翻译成“dog tired ”

例句:I was dog tired when I got home last night.

昨天晚上回到家时我已经累死了。

2、Love me,love my dog

这个意思直接翻译过来就是“喜欢我、喜欢我的狗”,而狗是人类最忠实的朋友,所以我们可以将其理解为“爱屋及乌”的意思。

例句:Mary never accepted an invitation unless Anne was included in it. It was a case of love me, love my dog.

如果有人邀请玛丽而不请安妮,玛丽就不会去。这真是要求人家爱屋及乌了。

3、A dog's breakfast

狗狗的早餐?当然不是,其正确意思是“一团糟,乱七八糟”。据说是来源于主人有事出门了,狗狗一个人在家就随便叼了垃圾当早餐,把家里搞得乱七八糟,最后就变成了“一团糟”的意思了。注意,与此相对应的“a dog’s dinner”也表示“乱七八糟”的意思。

例句:He's made a real dog's breakfast of these accounts.

他把这些账务弄得乱七八糟的。

They made a real dog’s dinner of the website.

他们把网站搞砸了。

4、dog days

狗狗的日子?这是什么意思?原来是指一年中最热的“三伏天”。想想是不是有句“热成狗”的说法,当然三伏天还可以说“canicular days”。

例句:I can do nothing except for swimming in the dog days.

我在三伏天里,除了游泳,我什么事也做不成。

5、Go to the dogs

这个短语的意思是“一蹶不振、每况愈下,堕落,毁灭,一败涂地”等,该习语起源于人们吃剩下的残羹剩饭拿去喂狗。

例句:I never saw a man go to the dogs so fast .

我从来没有看到过任何人破落的这么快的。

6、Put on the dog

字面意思是“把狗穿在身上”,其实正确意思是“炫耀、摆阔,摆排场”等,这个短语起源于很久以前,一些有钱的人往往花费很多钱去买一只稀有品种的小狗来显示自己很有钱。

例句:If I have much money, I will put on the dog.

如果我有很多钱,我会摆阔。

当然关于“dog”的短语实在是太多太多了,比如说这些,lucky dog-幸运儿,sea dog-老练水手,top dog-大佬,big dog-保镖等等,在此我就不一一列举,如果你有什么需要补充的,欢迎分享,大家相互学习。

NO.1

You think too much是什么?

You think too much

=你胡思乱想了,你想的太复杂了

(内心戏很多)

比如,

朋友叫你吃饭,你就简单的说了句好的

他就在想:我是不是那句话说错了啊

是不是......自己导演了好多场景

这时候你就可以说:你想的太复杂了

You think too much.

或者:

You're thinking too much.

那我们说的那中自作多情的想多了

该怎么说?

It's all in your head!

=你想多了,别自作多情了

实用例句:

A:I think he likes me. Every time I see him,

he smiles at me.

我感觉他喜欢我。每次看到他他都会冲着我笑。

B:It's all in your head! He has a girlfriend now.

你想多了。他已经有女朋友了。

NO.2

I don't think much of you≠我不太想你

如果有人对你说

I don't think much of you.

你可要注意了

他对你有意见!

=认为......人不怎么样

I don't think much of you

=我认为你这个人不怎么样

(人品有问题~)

"不太想你"怎么说?

I don't miss you so much.

=我不太想你

not think much of sth.

=认为.....东西不怎么样

(评价不高~~)

实用例句:

NO.3

child's play 可不是“儿戏”的意思哦;child's play 译为“轻而易举的的事,简单的东西”。

【误解】那简直是儿戏。

【正确】那只不过是轻而易举的事。

[e.g.] Driving a car is not child's play.

开车并非是一桩轻而易举的事。
