英語生活的口語
小編今天就給大家整理了一些平時(shí)可能會(huì)用到的英語口語,大家可以熟讀熟練,背一背,希望各位同學(xué)們?cè)谏钪信龅降臅r(shí)候可以用到哦。
戀愛十宗罪(1)
1.You're playing to win
你們總是想要贏對(duì)方
One of the deadliest killers of relationships is thecompetitive urge, the attitude that the relationshipitself is a kind of game that you're tying to win. People in competitive relationships are alwayslooking for an advantage, the upper hand, someedge they can hold over their partner's head.
愛情的一大致命殺手就是競(jìng)爭(zhēng)欲望:把感情當(dāng)作比賽,總是想要贏過對(duì)方。處在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)關(guān)系中的人總是想要尋找自己的優(yōu)勢(shì),占盡上風(fēng),盡握對(duì)方的把柄。
2.You don't trust
你們不信任彼此
There are two aspects of trust that are important in relationships. One is trusting your partnerenough to know that s/he won't cheat on you or otherwise hurt you — and to know that he orshe trusts you that way, too. The other is trusting them enough to know they won't leave youor stop loving you no matter what you do or say.
感情的信任包括兩層含義:足夠信任你的伴侶,明白他不會(huì)欺騙也不會(huì)傷害你,同時(shí)也了解他也是如此的信任著你;足夠信任你的愛人,明白不管你說什么做什么,他都不會(huì)離開或者不再愛你。
3. You don't talk
你們不交流
Too many people hold their tongues about things that bother or upset them in theirrelationship, either because they don't want to hurt their partner, or because they're trying towin. Ultimately, keeping quiet reflects a lack of trust — and, as I said that's the death of arelationship.
太多的人沉默無言,對(duì)感情中讓他們煩惱或者不安的細(xì)節(jié)只字不提,也許是因?yàn)椴幌雮?duì)方,也許是因?yàn)樘胍A而不愿意示弱。緘默不語其實(shí)是缺乏信任的表現(xiàn),這是愛情的死穴。
4. You don't listen
你們不傾聽
Listening — really listening — is hard. It's normal to want to defend ourselves when we hearsomething that seems like criticism, so instead of really hearing someone out, we interrupt toexplain or excuse ourselves, or we turn inward to prepare our defense. If you can't listenactively, at least to the person you love, there's a problem.
真正的傾聽很難。聽到類似批評(píng)的話語時(shí),我們想要為自己辯護(hù),這很正常,所以我們不聽對(duì)方把話說完就開始打斷,解釋,為自己找借口,或者在心中準(zhǔn)備防守。如果對(duì)你愛的人你都無法主動(dòng)傾聽,那就有問題了。
5. You spend like a single person
你還像個(gè)單身的人過活
When you're single, you can buy whatever you want, whenever you want, with little regard forthe future. It's not necessarily wise, but you're the only one who has to pay the consequences. When you are with someone in a long-term relationship, that is no longer a possibility. If you'respending money as if it was your money and nobody else has a right to tell you what to do withit, your relationship is doomed.
單身的時(shí)候,想買什么買什么,隨時(shí)隨地隨心所欲,一點(diǎn)不想著將來。這很不明智,但是我們是唯一要為后果付出代價(jià)的人。當(dāng)你長(zhǎng)期跟某人交往時(shí),這一切就不再成為可能。如果你還是像以前一樣大手大腳覺得別人沒權(quán)利對(duì)你指手畫腳,那么你們的感情就完了。
你將大難臨頭了!
這個(gè)俗語就是number is up。很奇怪是吧?它起源于一次大戰(zhàn)期間軍隊(duì)里的行話,說“His number is up”,意思就是“他陣亡了”。這里的number是指軍人的番號(hào)。現(xiàn)在這個(gè)片語的意思拓展了,表示“One is in grave difficulty or neardeath”,就是說“某人處在非常困難的境地,或是要死了”,比如:
For 30 years our congressman has done a prettygood job in Washington. But this time I think hisnumber is up - he has a smart young man runningagainst him with a lot of new ideas.
這人當(dāng)選國(guó)會(huì)議員已經(jīng)三十年了,政治生涯一直不錯(cuò),但是這次我想他是大難臨頭了——一個(gè)干練又富有創(chuàng)新思想的年青人和他爭(zhēng)奪競(jìng)選議員。
這段話里his number is up意思是“他的政治生涯完蛋了”,換句話說就是他大難臨頭了。
Number is up 還表示“要死了”: He looks terrible; I think his number's up. 他看起來很糟糕,我想他快要死了。
希望大家都不要碰到 number is up那一天。
