You should keep a low profile until the trouble passes.在麻煩過去之前,你做事要保持低調。3 333333城里人瞧不起農村人,農村人看不上城里人,城里人和農村人總是互相瞧不起。鄉巴佬、土包子、官迷、大爺......這些個稱呼都帶有明顯的貶義色彩。
美國的城里人和鄉下人也會互起貶低對方的稱呼。住在像紐約這種大城市的居民往往把鄉下人看成是一些土里土氣、腦子很簡單,而且容易上當受騙的人。他們認為,鄉下人只會跟豬和牛打交道,可是不善于和人打交道。這些城里人經常把鄉下人稱為:hick。Hick這個字和中文里的鄉巴佬差不多。
例如:See that well-dressed man across the room? That's Mr.Green.When he came to New York 20 years ago, he was only a hick fresh out of the cornfields of Kansas.But he turned out to be a lot smarter than he looked;they say he made ten million dollars last year trading in the stock exchange.你瞧屋子那邊那個衣著很講究的人。那是格林先生。二十年前他來紐約之前,只不過是勘薩斯州種玉米的鄉巴佬。他當時雖然看起來不怎么樣,但是腦子卻非常靈活。他們說,去年他通過買進賣出 股票就賺了一千萬美元。
又如:My roommate in my freshman year was a real hick.He came from a town so small it didn't have a stop light, a building with an elevator or a movie theater.大學一年級時和我住一個房間的那個同學真是個鄉巴佬。他的老家是一個非常小的鎮,那里連紅綠燈都沒有,沒有一個樓里有電梯的,甚至連電影院都沒有。
美國農民的人數現在越來越少了。一百年前,美國有百分之四十二的人生活在農村??墒?,隨著城鎮的發展和農業機械化,美國農民的人數現在已經下降到只占總人口的百分之二點二。在二十世紀,由于交通、收音機和電視的發展,城市和農村的區別已經在很大程度上消除了。可能正是因為這個原因,鄉下人用來貶低城里人的名詞很有限。他們常用的一個是:city slicker。Slick這個字的意思是很滑溜。所以,一個city slicker 也就是說話很圓滑,衣著很時髦,但是很可能是一個不老實、不可信任的家伙。
例如:Yep, I told Susie not to go out with any of them city slickers with their smooth talk and fancy clothes.If she has to go out, look for a farm boy.He may be a hick, but she can trust him a whole lot more.是的,我告訴蘇琦不要和那些圓嘴滑舌、衣著講究的城里人出去玩。要是她一定要出去玩,找一個農村來的男孩。他也許是個鄉巴佬,但至少是可以信得過的。
又如:Sure, a city slicker looks smart as long as he stays in a place like New York.But you put him down on a farm and he won't do much better than a newborn baby!
是的,一個油滑的城是的,一個油滑的城里人在像紐約這種地方看起來都很精明。但是,你要是把他送到農村去,他肯定什么也不會干,比一個新生嬰兒好不了多少。333平常人,普通人。An average Joe refers to someone who is just like everyone else;a normal person.'Average' means 'in the middle' or 'not extreme', and 'Joe' is a common male name.So 'average Joe' refers to a man who is not extremely different from everyone else.www.tmdps.cn Average意思是“平均的,一般水平的”,而Joe又是一個極其常見的名字,所以人們就用average Joe來表示很普通的一個人。例如我們會說,雷?羅馬諾是這個時代全美最受歡迎的電視明星之一,可他卻似乎不把自己當成什么大人物,仿佛就是與你生活在同一座城市里的“average Joe”。not know Jack about 對某事一無所知。如: I don't know jack about fishing意思就是I don't know anything about fishing(我對釣魚一無所知)。而I don’t know Jack的意思就是“我什么也不知道”。關于Jack,還有兩個常見的句子。Do you know jack shit? 意思就是問別人, “你知不知道什么叫無知? 在美國的口語中,jack shit 算是一句粗話,意思是什么也沒有。4 John Q.Public 普通人。在美語中,John Q.Public也是指“普通人,民眾”。類似的詞組是:John Q.Citizen.美語里還有很多與John有關的詞組,如:big John(新兵),cheap John(亂殺價的商人;叫賣小販),honest John(誠實的人;容易上當的人),square John(誠實可靠的人;奉公守法的人)。5 Jeez Louise 表示驚訝。如:One million? Jeez-Louise!You get any of that?(一百萬?老天!有你的份嗎?)Jeez Louise, don't you know that all banks are closed today? It is Saturday.(天啊,你難道不知道今天銀行不營業嗎?今天可是周六)。6 For Pete’s sake 感嘆詞,用以強烈表達情緒,意為“哎呀,天哪”,有些地方也譯作“看在上帝面上;千萬;務必”等。在這個短語中,Pete是耶酥大弟衣物,其中一子St.Peter的昵稱。常在懇求或請求他人時使用。如:For Pete's sake,stop making so much noise.(哎呀,天哪!別弄出那么討厭的聲音啦!)此外,它還應用于其他種種不同的場合。假設你向別人道了歉,他還沒完沒了,這時你可以說:I said I was sorry.What else do you want me to do, for Pete's sake?(我已經說對不起了,拜托,你還想叫我怎樣啊?)類似的表達方式還有for Christ sake,for heaven's sake,for mercy’s sake,for pity’s sake,for God’ sake.For Christ's sake和for God's sake有褻瀆神明之嫌,一般避免使用。但在重大事件的場合是可以使用的,不受限制。
正因為在嚴重事件的場合使用。所以for Christ's sake和for God's sake語氣最強,其次是for Pete's sake,其余的大致相同。另外,在使用時,男女有別。for Pete's sake和for God’sake多為男性使用。for goodness’sake,for heaven's sake,以及for pity's sake的使用者以女性居多,但男性在表示特別強烈的感情時也可以使用。但for mercy's sake幾乎只有女性使用。7 a doubting Thomas 生性多疑的人。源自《圣經?新約?約翰福音》第20章。該篇講到耶穌復活后出現在眾人面前,十二門徒之一托馬斯沒有親眼見到,聲稱除非看到他手上的釘痕,用手探入他的肋旁,否則不信他已復活。后來人們用“doubting Thomas”指那些不肯輕易相信別人的人。
He’s a real doubting Thomas — he simply wouldn’t believe I’d won the car until he saw it with his own eyes.他是一個真正的懷疑主義者—在沒有看到之前他就是不相信我贏得那輛車。8 a plain Jane 長相不起眼,外貌平凡的女人。這里的plain是“不惹人注目的,樸素的”,而Jane是一般女人名,plain與Jane合轍押韻。如:I wonder why a handsome man like Jeff married such a plain Jane.我很奇怪像杰夫這樣出色的男子怎么與一個不怎么起眼的姑娘結婚。9 Joe Blow 老百姓,普通人。Joe Doakes也可以表示這個意思。美國口語中,Joe College指典型的美國大學生,Joe Miller則指滑稽書,笑話集。www.tmdps.cn 10 Sheila 在口語中表示少女,年輕貌美的女子。一般為女子英文名,譯為希拉,類似于Shelly, Cecilia.11 No way, Jose “不可能的荷西”,常用于熟人之間拒絕做某事。Jose并不表示叫這個名的人,而是跟way押韻,說起來響亮,好聽。這種說法始于20世紀60年代美國鄉村。12 not know a person from Adam 不知(某人)模樣如何,與(某人)素不相識。源自《圣經?舊約?士師記》第2、3章。上帝創造了世界上的第一個男人,取名為亞當(Adam)。因為亞當非女人所生,所以沒有肚臍,是最容易辨認的人,“not know somebody from Adam”就表示“完全不認識某人”。Mrs.Smith is a friend of mine, but I don’t know her husband from Adam.史密斯太太是我的朋友,但我完全不認識她丈夫。13 Jack of all trades 萬事通。一般指雜而不精,也就是我們平時所說的“三腳貓”。Jack of all trades and master of none.門門精通,樣樣稀松。14 Uncle Sam 美國。它源自1812-1814年間美英戰爭時期的一個歷史傳說。相傳在紐約州的特洛伊城(Troy))有位年長的肉類加工商,名叫山繆爾?威爾遜(Samuel Wilson)。他勤勞、誠實、能干,很有威信,人們親切地叫他山姆大叔(Uncle Sam)。他也是一位愛國者,與父兄曾參加過美國獨立戰爭。在1812年的美英戰爭中,他的工廠與政府簽了一份為軍隊生產桶裝牛肉的合同,美國政府每當收到他交來的經其親自檢驗合格的牛肉,就將肉裝入特制的木桶,并在桶上蓋上US的記號。由于Uncle Sam的首字母是US,而美國(The United States)的縮寫也是U.S.,于是人們便把這兩個名稱合二為一了。當地的人們就把“山姆大叔”當成美國的綽號,并逐漸流傳開來。15 John Hancock 親筆簽名。John Hancock是在The Declaration of Independence(美國獨立宣言)上署名的獨立戰士中,將自己的名字簽得又好又大的一個人,他的簽名美觀大方而且個頭也比別的簽名大。所以美國人常把John Hancock當作signature(署名,簽名)的意思.。如:I need your John Hancock.我需要您的簽名。16 Johnny One Note 五音不全的人。也可以指思想狹隘,看問題片面的人。Note在這里的意思是音符。444猜疑傷害莫逆之交。

在這里,他運用的是所謂的英語“押韻俚語”(Cockney Rhyming Slang)其中,tit for tat(原義為“針鋒相對”)是 hat(帽子)的押韻俚語,同樣,crust of bread(面包片)代替 head(頭),daisy roots(雛菊花根)代替 boots(靴子),plates of meat(肉盤)代替 feet(腳),apples and pears(蘋果和梨)代替 stairs(樓梯),而 elephant's trunk(大象鼻子)則代替 drunk(喝醉了的)。
押韻俚語(Cockney Rhyming Slang)是英國倫敦下層社會中應用的非正式的口語(Cockney 意思為“倫敦佬”,是對倫敦社會下層人士的蔑稱)。這種口語之所以稱為押韻俚語,是因為他們用同正式語押韻的詞來代替正式語。上面例子中的 tit for hat 就同 hat 押韻,同樣,crust of bread 也同 head 押韻。
押韻俚語有一個特點,即代替一個正式詞語要用含有兩個或兩個以上詞(element)的詞組。其它押韻俚語的例子還有不少。例如:
trouble and strife(原義為“麻煩和沖突”)代替 wife(妻子)
Brussels sprout(原義為“球芽甘藍”)代替 scouts(童子軍)
以上所說的都是完整的押韻俚語,但在實際運用中,倫敦佬們往往用它們的省略形式。值得一提的是,省略的押韻俚語中省略的部分不是其中的第一個詞,而是第二個詞,即用來押韻的那部分。因此,如果一個人說:My plates are killing me.其實際意義為 My plates of meat are killing me.即 My feet hurt.同樣 tit for tat 可以省略成為 tit,crust of bread 可省略成 crust 等等。這樣,文章開頭的那句話也可以說成:
I put my tit on my crust and my daisy on my plates and fell down the apples because I was elephant's.以上為典型的英語押韻俚語。其實英語中有許多可以接受的非正式用法是由押韻俚語升級而來的,而有時甚至說標準英語的人都不知道它們的來源。例如,英語中有 Use your loaf(動動腦筋)實際上就是由Use your loaf of bread 省略而來,即 Use your head 的押韻俚語。其中 loaf of bread(面包條)是head(腦筋)的押韻俚語。
再如:英國人常說:We must get down to brass tacks.(我們必須討論實際問題。)其中 brass tacks(黃銅平頭釘)是 facts(事實)的押韻俚語,tacks 和facts 押韻。
又如:英語中有一個短語:take a butcher's,它其實是 take a butcher's hook(butcher's hook 原義為“屠夫的鉤子”)的省略形式,即take a look(看一眼)的押韻俚語。
同樣,英語中還有其它常見的詞也出自押韻俚語,而這些詞許多人不知其出處,似乎它們可以用于正式場合,而實際上它們卻是英語中的“禁忌語”(taboo words)。例如:
Bristols 表示 breasts(“乳房”),來源于 Bristol City,是titty的押韻俚語,titty 是 breast 的禁忌語,復數:Bristols—titties.cobblers 的意思是 testicles(“睪丸”),來源于cobblers' awls(鞋匠的錐子)是 balls 的押韻俚語,ball是 testicles 的禁忌語。
倫敦金融界行話(jargon)中有一種類似押韻俚語,也很有意思。這些行話比起一般的押韻俚語更晦澀難解。例如:
I asked him for a price of a Hawaii but he would only quote me in a lady.一句,局外人很難理解其真實含義。
其中,Hawaii 原義為“夏威夷”,但在這兒代表的是“fifty million”,而 a lady 卻代表 five million.這句話的意思是:“我向他要價5,000萬(英鎊),而他卻只出500萬?!?/p>
在這兒,Hawaii 來自一個電視節目“Hawaii Five-O”,Five-O當然代表50 million;lady 是 Lady Godiva 的省略形式。(Lady Godiva 是著名的 Peeping Tom典故中的女主人公。)Lady Godiva 同fiver(five million)押韻。
英鎊同美元的兌換比率稱為 cable,來自于英美間的跨大西洋的電纜(cable),因而英鎊同美元的兌換比率在倫敦金融行話中也稱為 Betty,來自于女演員Betty Grable,因為這個名字同 cable 押韻。
其它情況還有:
貨幣名稱:
yen(日元)— Bill'n Ben
dollar(美元)— Oxford Scholar
guilder(荷蘭盾)— boat builder
mark(德國馬克)— smudge(smudge 的意思是a small mark)
數目:
one —a Spaniard(Juan)(Don Juan為西班牙一傳奇人物)
a pair —Lionel(Blair)(一位舞蹈家)
three — carpet(flea)(地毯跳蚤)
four — Desmond(Tutu)(Desmond Tutu 為南非的大主教,用Tutu來表示four自然是因為Two twos are four)
five — a steep hill(來自于one-in-five 1 : 5的坡度)
eight— a garden(gate)或 John Curry(John Curry是一位花樣滑冰運動員,用它顯然是因為 skate 的緣故)
ten — Cockle(and Hen)(公雞和母雞)
a score — a motor-bike(人們很難將 motor-bike 和20 聯系起來,而其中的原因卻是騎手雙手握住車把手,給發動機加油門兩次手指共用 20 個。)
a half — a laugh
seven-eighths— seven Henries(Henry 為 Henry VIII 之略)
three quarters— three farmers(farmers 為 farmers' daughters 之略)
在人類交往中,俚語是一個十分難以理解的成分,而押韻俚語,如果不知其來源,理解起來會更加困難,而一旦了解了,它們又變得如此趣味盎然。了解一些押韻俚語對于熟悉英國社會、文化、風俗習慣以及進行實際交際都會有很大的幫助 8888 英文名人名言 英文名人名言
