学会这几个词,一年好心情

张海露Eric 英语学习笔记 2020-01-25


新年第一篇和大家分享一些英文中的excoriations, imprecations, maledictions, pejoratives, vitriol and vulgarities... 在忍无可忍、不爽的时候把它们祭出来。



1. 想说:禽兽不如!


  • He's worse than an animal. 他禽兽不如。

  • That animal should get the death penalty! 那个畜生应判死刑。

  • He's a sex beast. 他是个色魔。


2. 想说:人渣、败类


  • scum, scumbag


scum和scumbag都表示“dishonest, unkind, unpleasant person”。注意scum这个词既可以是可数名词也可以是不可数,所以我们可以说:


  • He's scum. 

  • He's a scum/scumbag.


类似的词还有: bastard, ass, asshole


3. 想说: 一无是处 

  • loser, good-for-nothing, piece of shit

Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be.



4. 想说:傻X


“傻x”强调的是“傻”,它的直译是"silly cunt"。牛津出版的Oxford Dictionary of Modern Slang在“cunt”词条的例句是:"What d'you think you're doing, you silly cunt?" the driver shouts at her.


除此之外我总结了几个常用的,和“傻x”意思相近的几个词。建议查过音标后在无人的地方有感情地反复操练。


  • idiot,moron,dimwit, dick, retard, dumb fuck, douche(注意发音), douchebag



  • bonehead, butthead, cunthead, fuckhead, motherfucker, cocksucker



5. 想说:去你🐎的

 

用这几个表达的时候注意语气。“去你🐎的”的一般在两个场景中使用:一个是别人对我们做了一些很过分的事情,我们非常生气,这时候眼神要坚毅语气要不客气;一个是用于朋友之间开玩笑,这时候嘴角要上扬,语气温柔一些。


  • Fuck you! 或者Screw you!

  • Kiss my ass!

  • Get out of here!



6. 有人插队时,想说:脸皮真厚啊


  • The nerve!

  • What nerve!


7. 想说:你个大嘴巴!


  • You are a big mouth!

  • You and your big mouth!



8. 受到骚扰时,想说:滚开


  • Fuck off!

  • Buzz off!

  • Get lost!

  • Get outta my face!



9. 生活中总有些有趣的人, 他们是:


  • 一毛不拔的人 cheapskate, skinflint

  • 吹牛不打草稿的人 bullshit artist

  • 漂亮的愚蠢妞 bimbo, birdbrain

  • 拍马屁的人 ass-kisser 

  • 自作聪明的人 smart-ass
