美国词典里的中国特色词汇

　　近年来美国在线词典Urban Dictionary收录过很多网络用语：no zuo no die, You can you up, no can no BB, tuhao, gelivable, zhuangbility... 来看看美国人民如何解释这些中国特色的词汇吧!

　　1、no zuo no die

　　不作死就不会死

　　This phrase is of Chinglish origin. Means if you don't do stupid things, they won't come back and bite you in the ass. (But if you do, they most certainly will.) Zuo /zwo/ is a Chinese character meaning 'act silly or daring (for attention)'

　　这个短语是中国式英语。含义是：如果你不做蠢事，就不会有坏事反过来咬你一口。(如果你做了，坏事很可能找上门。)“作”在汉语中的意思是“(为引起别人注意)做蠢事/做鲁莽的事”。

　　【例句】

　　A: Some dude baked cookies shaped like iPhone, held it by the mouth when driving, tried to mess with traffic cops.

　　A：有个位老兄做了一些酷似iPhone的饼干，一边开车一边叼在嘴里，以引起交警的注意。

　　B: Did he pull it off?

　　B：他成功了吗?

　　A: Cop was pissed and ran his name through the system. Turns out he's got speed tickets unpaid!

　　2、you can you up

　　你行你上啊

　　Translated from Chinglish. If you can do it then you should go up and do it. It's used against people who criticize others' work, especially when the criticizer is not that much better. Often followed by "no can no BB", which means "if you can't do it then don't even criticize it".

　　中式英语翻译而来。如果你行，你就应该去做这件事。这句话用来讽刺那些挑剔别人工作的人，尤其是那些自己本身也做不好的人。通常这句话后会跟着“不行别逼逼”，意思是“如果你做不了，就不要挑别人的刺”。

　　【例句】

　　"That person does not deserve the award."

　　“那个人不应该得奖的。”

　　“你行你上啊!”
