第十三词 Frustrated

表示心情沮丧、灰心丧气时,老外偏爱frustrated这一词。我们喜欢是sad, lose one's heart等表达法。

没说过frustrated一词三次以上的,那么英语还不算入门(别骂我啊,我只可是考虑再三才说滴,没说过的话,现在说也来得及)。

用法特别简单。当你觉得灰心丧气时,forget about "sad", use this word instead.

例句:

1、没有一个女孩子给我写过信,我真是沮丧极了。
I'm so frustrated that no girls wrote to me.

2、公司业绩总是不好,总经理真是心灰意懒。
Chinglish: The total manager is very sad because the achievement is not good.

Revision: The general manager is so frustrated for the poor performance of his company.

第十八词 Offend

这个词表示“冒犯”、“得罪”,老外整天挂在嘴上。我们要跟进。一般用法是offend sb.被动是be/get offended.

要善于识别offend使用范围。汉语语言特别丰富,所以我们要特别注重内在含义。

例句:

1、你对她的穿着评头论足,她可能会不高兴。
Chinglish: You're commenting on her dress; she might be unhappy. (还不太中式,但是想不到offend一词就是罪过)

Revision: You're criticising her dress sense. She might be offended.

2、我什么时候得罪她了?她这人真怪!

Chinglish: When did I do bad to her? She is so strange! (不算太中式,但是想不到offend就是罪过)

Revision: Have I ever offended her? She's just being so weird!

Sometimes, when we are commenting on others or their work, we should know what we're talking about and we should be as polite as possible, so that they won't get offended.

 



――――――
If, if lots of people come and shout to me:"Coolmax, your English is so poor and limited!"  I'll be extremely frustrated :_))

再说一遍,以后要常说 frustrated哦!说多了,你就有老外的感觉了。
第十四词 Indifferent

这一词表示冷漠、无动于衷的意思。很容易用,用起来就让人觉得地道。既然这么好用,我们就该多用,用过了也没事。

其名词形式是indifference。

例句:

1、为什么对这次海啸受害者有些人却无动于衷?

Why some people are so indifferent to the victims of this tsunami?

2、他对别人对他的侮辱与嘲笑不屑一顾。

He was indifferent to insults and scorns thrown at him.

When I was very young, I liked a girl named "Xiaofang" very much, and I tryied all means available to please her, but she was still indifferent to me. At last I became utterly frustrated and lost my patience.

It's not my story any way

第十五词 Promise

许诺,承诺。西方人很神圣的一个词,我们不可不用,也不可滥用。“君子一言,驷马难追”啊!

对于Promise一词,我们用真诚的心来使用它。

例句:

1、君子一言,驷马难追

A promise is a promise. (最简单、最朴实的语言,蕴藏了多少艰辛!)

2、我保证我再也不犯这种错误了。

I promise I won't make this kind of mistakes again!

说话算数哦!再说一遍,不可不用,不可滥用,好神圣的一个词。对于老外,哪怕是你随口答应的,也一定要办到!现在已经有老外控告我们中国人老说谎了!例如一起合影,有学生随口答应给老外洗一张,结果老外等来等去,就是没人给送。其实文化不太一样,我们委婉谢绝或说点便宜话,但是他们看不出来的。
