Get on a person's nerves ! 把某人惹火
You're really getting on my nerves.
你真的把我惹火了!
- nerve 除了「神经」, 还有「胆量」的意思。
如 "He had the nerve to say that." 他竟然有胆说那种话。
hard feelings 怨气
A: Man, I'm really sorry about what happened last night.
A: 老兄啊! 昨晚的事真是抱歉...
B: It's all right. It's over with. No hard feelings.
B: 没关系。已经过去了。没什么好生气了。
- "It's over with" 是「已经过去了」。结束某种不愉快的情绪, 可以用 「get over」。
如 "I know you were mad at him for what he had done. But, it has been five years. Get over it."
我知道你很气他所作的事, 但是这已经是五年前的事了, 你应该释怀了。
have a chip on one's shoulder 心存芥蒂
A: Blanche's already apologized and asked for your forgiveness. Why do you still have a chip on your shoulder?
A: Blanche 已经(跟你)道歉过, 也请你原谅她。你为什么还是心存芥蒂呢?
B: I don't know. I guess I never really got over it.
B: 我不知道。也许我对这件事从来没有真正释怀吧!
- 或许你也曾经有过类似上面的经验; 以为自己经对一件别人做错的事释怀了,
当你再度面对这个人时, 那种气气的感觉又回来了。也许没说到几句话,
你又忍不住地责备对方一顿。这种感觉就是这里所说的"have a chip on one's shoulder"。
jerk 差劲、没品的人
A: Can you believe that? David sold the bike that he borrowed from me to somebody else.
A: 你相信吗? David 把相我借的自行车卖人啦。
B: Really? What a jerk !
B: 真的吗? 好差劲的人啊!
- 英汉字典都 "jerk" 是「愚蠢的人」。 其实 "jerk" 在美语中(形容人时)是用来指「差劲」、 「没品」的人。
down-to-earth 实在的
A: I had a chance to chat with Dr. Lee last time. I was totally surprised to find out that a famous person like him can be so down-to-earth.
A: 我上次有機會跟 Dr. Lee 閒聊。 我很驚訝地發現一個像他這樣有名氣的人竟然可以這樣的真實純樸。
B: Really? Tell me more about it.
B: 真的啊? 再跟我多講一點!
wet blanket 扫兴的人
A: I can't go with you guys. I've really got to hit the books.
A: 我不能跟你们去。我真的要去複习功课。
B: Come on! Don't be a wet blanket. Everybody's going. You can study after we come back.
B: 好啦! 别这么扫兴了! 大家都要去。你可以等我们回来再看书嘛!
- "blanket" 的原意是「毯子」的意思。美语里面有用"a wet blanket"(湿毯子)来形容
「扫兴的人」。"hit the books" , 是「念书」的意思。
sell-out 出卖人家的人
A: I can't believe Dan, the person I trusted so much turned out to be a complete sell-out.
A: 我无法相信 Dan, 这个我曾经这么信任的人竟然是个出卖我的人。
B: Man, I don't even know what to say. He really blew me away, too.
B: 唉, 我都不知道该说什么才好。 他也真是让我始料未及。
- 这里的"sell-out"是"selling a person out"的名词, 可以指「出卖人家的人」或是「出卖人的行为」。
上面的对话里, 还有另外一个我们之前也有看过的词语是"blow one away" (blew one away 的原在式)。
这里的"blow one away"应该可以翻作我们口语里面讲的「被打败的感觉」。
因为没有想到过对方会是那样子的人, 当事情发生了才有一种「怎么可能!」的震撼和惊讶。
其实"blow one away"也可以说是形容某人的表现太过优异, 令人在佩服之外感到十分的震撼。
