用英语表达分手告白

分手是件让人痛苦的事,尤其是在没有办法不得不分手的时候。可是十年修得同船渡,即使分手也不要将过去美好的回忆全都打碎吧?因为也许你这辈子都不会再和他/她有交集了,又何必在茫茫人海里给对方划一道伤痕?I hope everyone can remember this great sentence: “dating is a serious thing, when you date someone, you will give them a part of your heart, once breaking up, your heart will never be the same one.” Never try to hurt yourself or others you love.

    1. It’s really not working.   

    我们的感情真的行不通。   

    性格不合,背景相差太大……当两个人真的不合适的时候,就说这句话吧。   

    2. We’ve grown apart.   

    我们都各自成长了。   

    也许你们爱的是最初的对方,可是随着时间的流逝,每个人都会成长。改变的人也许不能再相爱,分手也就难免。   

    3. The magic’s gone from our relationship.   

    我们之间的爱情魔力已经不见了。   

    有人说,爱情是一瞬间的激情。生活的琐屑会将这种感觉消磨掉,爱情也会随之消逝。   

    4. I think we should be just friends.   

    我想我们应该当朋友就好了。   

    其实,这个理由听起来是不是有点……无赖?   

    5. It’s not you, it’s me.   

    不是你的问题,而是我自己的问题。   

    很坦白,但是这会更让对方气愤。   

    6. You’re really too good for me. / I don’t deserve you.   

    我真的配不上你。   

    通常变心的那一方会说这种话。   

    7. I just don’t love you anymore.   

    我不再爱你了。   

    够直白、坦率。   

    8. I really don’t wanna be tied down.   

    我真的不想被绑住。   

    花心人士的标准借口。   

    9. I’ve met someone else.   

    我已另结新欢了。   

    虽然很伤人,但直接说出来比拐弯抹角还是好点。   

    10. You don’t really love me anyway.   

    反正你也不是真的很爱我。   

    除非真的就是闹着玩,否则用这种理由来分手的可能是想尝尝被打破头的滋味吧。

Kiss-me-quick

 有一段时间,街上出现了带字的T恤,其中有Kiss-me-quick字样于是有人告知这英文的意思是“快吻我”,其实这却是一种花的名称.

    英语”快吻我’写作kiss me quick,没有连字符.而带有连字符的,严格意义上讲,是”野生三色堇”的俗称,可简写成Kiss-me.当然,这也不必追究.

    无独有偶, Kiss-me-at-the-gate亦非“在大门口吻我”而是指金银花.

    在英语中,有些词不能按字面去解,例如American beauty,不能译作“美国佳丽”,这也是个花名,是指”红蔷薇”。

认清英语中对女性的称呼

英语中对女性的称呼可谓丰富,且谐趣十足。这些称呼多用于口语,表现出称呼者对被称呼者的态度、情感以及彼此之间的微妙或显而易见的关系。

  1、old hen老婆子

  俗语,男性用语,专用于中年以上的女性。除开玩笑的场合外,女性不太欢迎这一称谓。因为“oldhen”的字面意思是“老母鸡”。这一表达的来源是:从男人们的眼光来看,母鸡来回乱跑,凑在一起唧唧喳喳,或者互相对啄。Three oldhens from the neighbored were standing on the cornergossiping。有三个邻居老婆子站在街角上说长道短。说到hen还要提到与hen相关的表达:hen-pecked怕老婆的,本义是 “被母鸡啄的”。意思是“象软弱的公鸡经常被强壮的母鸡啄伤。男子慑于女性的淫威,表现得服服帖帖”。这个表达出自1690年德莱顿的喜剧《安菲特律翁》和1712发行的杂志《旁观者》。理解了上面的意思,那么hen party就不难理解为“女人的聚会”。后引申为凡是只有女人参加的社交性聚会都叫henparty。与它相对的是stag party雄鹿会,只有男子参加的聚会。

  2、spring chicken少女

  原意“童子鸡,不超过10个月的肉嫩的笋鸡”。这一表达来源已久:在古时候由于孵化技术上的原因,不到春天就很难得到这样的鸡,后转义为“少女”。Mrs. Gray may not be a granny, but she’s certainly no springchicken。格雷夫人也许还不算老太太,但是她的年纪肯定不小啦。有时可直接用chick表示“小女孩儿”。That chick’s areal tiger. She scratched my face when I talkedback。那小娘儿们可真是个母老虎。当我还嘴时,她竟然抓破了我的脸。

  3、the little woman老婆,太太

  请注意不要漏掉定冠词the。I promised the little woman to be home early tonight。我答应我老婆今天晚上早回家。偶尔也表示“你太太”。How’s the littlewoman?你太太好吗?对太太的称呼还有Missus,带有戏谑的说法。I’m fine, but the missus has been alittle under the weatherrecently。我身体很好,但是我老婆最近有点不舒服。有时用于对方或第三方的妻子。Hello, Jim. How’s the missusthese days?吉姆,你好。你太太最近好吗?对妻子的称呼另有one’s betterhalf。这一表达是以基督教的男女结婚合成一体的教义为基础的。I promised to take my better half shopping this afternoon。我答应我妻子今天下午带她去买东西。

  4、one’s ball and chain老婆

  本义是“带有重铁球的脚镣”。过去犯人在户外劳动时,为防止他们逃跑而带上这种刑具。把丈夫象犯人似地束缚起来,转用于玩笑中指“老婆”。 Yes, I’m going to the party tonight, but I’ll have to drag along myball and chain。是呀,我要参加今天的社交晚会,但是我必须带着我家的母老虎。lady of thehouse也指“老婆,屋里头的”。

  5、one’s old lady老娘,某人的母亲

  此处的old并不表示“老,年纪大”,与an old lady“老太太”不同。Her old lady is veryyoung。她老娘很年轻。这样的说法很自然。但有时可能有人不喜欢,所以使用时要注意场合。在谈到自己的母亲时,可以加定冠词,作the oldlady。The old lady has gone to bed。俺娘已经睡下了。那fat lady指的什么呢?先看例句:The operais not over until the fat lady sings。关键人物出面问题才会解决。原来fatlady是在歌剧中演压轴戏的女主角,俗称“大姐大”。说到one’s old lady,顺便提及one’s old man老爸,老头。Hisold man is thirty。他老豆30岁了。在指“家父”时,加定冠词,作the old man。I’ll have to askthe old man。我得去问问我爸爸。

  6、doll美人

  本义“洋娃娃”。在男性使用的场合仅指“美人”,并无头脑简单的意思。Get a load of that doll overthere. I wonder what her nameis。你瞧瞧那边的那位美人哟!不知道她叫什么名字。女性把doll翻版用作对男性的称呼,表示“有魅力的英俊男子”。Isn’t thecaptain of the baseball team a doll?

  棒球队长不是一个英俊的青年吗?有时doll表示“可爱的姑娘”。My brother’s new girl friend is a doll。我弟弟新近交的女朋友是个挺可爱的姑娘。

  7、skirt青年女子

  这一表达来源于女性穿的裙子,与中国旧时用“裙钗”表女子是一样的构思。这一说法仅限于男子对女性的称呼,因为女性并不喜欢这一称呼。 There are a lot of good-looking skirts among the new freshmen thisyear。在今年新入学的大学一年级学生中,有很多好看的姑娘。

  8、clinging vine会撒娇的女子;依赖男子的女人

  像绕在树上的爬藤一样总挎着男人胳膊的女人。Every time we invite Bill to dinner, he showsup with one of his clingingvines。我们每次请比尔吃饭的时候,他总是带着一位贴在身上撒娇的女人。这一习语多用于未婚的女性。在用于已婚女性时,意思是“不能独立,依赖男人生活的女人”。Why don’t you do something by yourself for a change? When Imarried you I didn’t realize you were such a clingingvine。你为什么不改变一下,依靠自己做点什么事情呢?当我跟你结婚时,我不知道你是这样一个没有独立能力的女人。

  9、a plain Jane不起眼的女人

  这里的plain是“不惹人注目的,朴素的”,而Jane是一般女人名,plain与Jane合辙押韵。I wonder why ahandsome man like Jeff married such a plainJane。我很奇怪象杰夫这样出色的男子怎么与一个不怎么起眼的姑娘结婚。

  10、jailbait祸水妞儿

  一般指11-15岁有姿色的少女。jail是“监狱”,bait是“诱饵”,押母韵,合起来就是“使人进监狱的诱饵”。认为美色诱发犯罪显然是想推脱干系,对女性极不公平。She’s a beautiful girl—but beware, she’sjailbait。她是个漂亮姑娘,但是要当心,可是个祸水妞儿啊。

  大家在使用这些女性称呼时,一定要注意其中的褒贬含义,分清场合和彼此的身份,避免误会或引起尴尬。

Something about my Christmas in USA

         Spring Festival is the biggest festival in China,it stands for families all get together to celebrate a brand new year. However, Christmas marks the arrival of festivity and fervor. It is one of the most joyous occasions. People celebrate Christmas across the world. Christmas signifies love and happiness.When I was in the USA,I always decorate my house on these days.

Even if you are a little short on money, there are some easy ways though which, you can deck up your home. Buying Christmas decorations every year will turn out to be very expensive, so it is sensible to preserve the decorations of this year to be used in the next year. You can buy inexpensive decorations, from the stores where they sell it on discount like I do.Last year,I  only spent less than 500 bucks. I got a small Christmas tree at the block, and decorations for the tree are free, that save money for me. Cheap Rugs are also needed for Christmas, down the street along my house is a retail store which offers discounts on festivals.Rugs,candles, flowers, pictures, Christmas tree, figurines of Santa, angel, stockings, cards, bows, ribbons, candy cane, lights, wreaths, poinsettias, mistletoes and so on. These items mentioned above are traditionally used for decorations, but you can always come up with something new. It is all about using your imagination and coming out with some interesting things.

      The decorations inside your home give you an opportunity to impress your guests, with some out-of-the-box thinking. The colors traditionally used for decorating the interiors are red, green and white. But it’s important to get fashion,big  Area Rugs ,they’ll slow down the noise people make and keep your house clean even if people spread some juice or coke on the floor. 

       Making handmade decorations is another good idea. In fact when, everyone is using decoration brought from the store; However, you can include some new colors to the decorations this year, for a unique look. Use of simple items like scented Christmas candles, lights, fresh flowers, drapes, bows and ribbons can very easily transform your home. You do not have to do something extravagant for this; simple things can easily do the job for you. Get your kids to help you with the decorations; they will be delighted to do this for you during the holiday season.
