英語寫作：感恩的多種表達

感恩節剛過去沒多久，但總有些美好的人和事需要我們一直心存感激。今天為大家整理了一些關于感恩的俚語和表達感謝的方式，快來學學各種花樣的感恩方式，讓我們的感恩行動一直不單調。

1.與感恩節相關的俚語

(To be)thankful(for something)（對某事）心存感激

This is a very common phrase that you'll hear around Thanksgiving.It is a way to express that you are thankful(happy)for the good things in your life.你會在感恩節前后聽到這個短語，它十分常見。這是你對生活中的美好事物表達感恩的一種方式。

Example: Let's take turns and say what we're thankful for.I'm thankful that I'm healthy and that all of us could be together for this Thanksgiving feast.讓我們輪流表達值得感恩的事情。我感恩我有健康的身體，感恩我們所有人能齊聚此地，共享感恩節的盛宴。

(To be)a turkey 怪異；滑稽有趣

This is not connected to Thanksgiving, but if you call a person a turkey, you're saying that he or she is weird or funny.這個表達和感恩節無關，如果你稱呼某人為火雞，那你是在說他/她很怪異或者滑稽有趣。

Example: As a joke, while John was riding the bus he was making airplane sounds and pretending that he was a pilot.He's a real turkey sometimes.這是個玩笑，約翰在開公交車時總是發出飛機的轟鳴聲，假裝他是個飛行員。有時候他真是有趣。

Hot potato 燙手山芋；棘手問題

A hot potato is a difficult problem or situation that no one wants to solve, so they pass it on and on from one person to the next.A hot potato will burn your hands if you hold it, so you need to throw it to someone else quickly!燙手山芋指一個沒人想解決的問題或處境，所以人們互相推諉。如果你握住燙手山芋，它會灼傷你的手，因此你需要很快把它扔給其他人。

It is also the name of a game that you may have played in class, where you have to throw around a ball or other object as fast as possible.它還是一個游戲名稱（擊鼓傳花），你可能在課堂上玩過，你必須盡可能快速地把手上的球或其他物體丟開。

Example: We still need to plan our presentation, but no one has the time or desire to work on it.The presentation is becoming a hot potato, so someone needs to take charge.我們仍然需要策劃發布會，但是沒人有時間和意愿去做這件事。發布會成了一個燙手山芋，因此需要有人來負責。

Corny 陳舊的，老生常談的

This is an adjective that means silly, funny or not cool.這是個形容詞，表示簡單的，有趣的或者陳舊過時的。Example: Now that Tom is a father, he seems to constantly make “dad jokes”—corny jokes that no one laughs at.既然湯姆已為人父，他似乎總是開一些“爸爸式玩笑”——一些陳舊過時的玩笑，沒人

笑得出來。

Black Friday 黑色星期五

You may have heard about this day, especially if you’re interested in shopping or discounts.你可能聽過這個日子，特別是如果你對購物或折扣感興趣的話。

In the past—and still today—many people get two days off of work for Thanksgiving: Thursday and Friday.This effectively creates a “four-day weekend,” so many people travel or do fun things during the days after Thanksgiving.過去——如今也是——許多人感恩節會放假兩天：星期四和星期五。這實際上創造了一個“四天周末”，因此許多人在感恩節過后的日子里去旅行或者做些有趣的事情。

Also, the day or two after Thanksgiving gives people a good opportunity to do some Christmas shopping, since Christmas is generally about a month after Thanksgiving.However, many people had the same idea, so the day after Thanksgiving began to be called Black Friday because it was usually a chaotic, “dark” time to go shopping since many stores were completely full of people.而且，感恩節后的一兩天給了人們一個圣誕節購物的好機會，因為圣誕節通常是在感恩節后大約一個月來臨。然而，許多人都有相同的想法，所以感恩節后的日子開始被稱為“黑色星期五”，因為那天許多商店都人山人海，一片混亂，是購物的“黑暗”時間。

In recent times, especially with the Internet, many stores have started having “Black Friday Sales.” Sometimes there are good deals, and sometimes people just think there will be good deals, so they go to a store to see.Either way, it is still generally one of the busiest shopping days of the year.最近，尤其是伴隨著互聯網的發展，許多商店開始推出“黑色星期五折扣”。有時候確實很合算，而有時候只是人們認為它們合算，所以他們會去商店逛一逛?？傊?，它還是一年中最繁忙的購物節之一。

Example: I don't want to go anywhere for Black Friday.People go crazy trying to find

good sales, but most of the same deals are available online.黑色星期五那天我哪里都不想去。人們瘋了似地尋找合算的折扣，但是大部分都能在網上找到。

2.表達感謝的5種方式

1）Cheers Probably best known for being said when people are making a toast to celebrate something or someone at a special event however this can also be used to express thanks.It is worth noting that this is very common in the United Kingdom but not so much in the United States, however it is globally understood in the English speaking world.或許它最為人熟知是人們在特殊場合舉杯祝賀某件事或某個人的時候，但是它也可以用來表達感謝。要注意的是它在英國比較常用，在美國較為鮮見。然而，在整個英語世界，人們都能理解它傳達的意思。

Example: I just want to say cheers to everyone for coming along to the pub to celebrate my birthday with me.我只想對那些來到這家酒吧和我一起慶祝生日的人說聲謝謝。

2）Ta This must seem like a strange word as it only has two letters but has the meaning of “thank you”.This short but to the point way of expressing thanks is really resigned to the United Kingdom and is not likely to be globally understood in the rest of the English speaking world.Funnily enough if you double “ta” to “ta ta” it actually means “bye” instead of thank you.這個詞一定看起來很奇怪，因為它只有兩個字母，卻能表達“謝謝你”。這個表達感謝的方式簡明扼要，實際只在英國使用，其他英語國家可能無法理解。說來很有趣的是，如果你把“ta”說兩次變成“ta ta”，它就表示再見，而不是謝謝你。

Example:

Ta for making me a cup of tea, mum.媽媽，謝謝你為了沏了一杯茶。

3）Much obliged Saying “much obliged” or even hearing someone else say it is quite possibly something that hasn't happened to you but don't worry because this expression of thanks is not very common at all.In fact, even hearing someone say this nowadays would make your head turn.It is generally seen as being very polite and almost creates a sense of upper class.If you want to be posh then this is the way for you.用這種方式說謝謝，甚至聽別人說，對你來說很可能是件從沒遇到過的事，但是不用擔心，因為這種表達感謝的方式一點也不常見。事實上，如今聽到有人這么說你都會側目。它通常被認為是非常禮貌的方式，幾乎營造出一種上流社會的感覺。如果你想時髦一點，那么它或許適合你。

Example: He was much obliged for the award.他對這份獎品深表感謝。

4）You're a lifesaver This may sound like a strange way to thank someone but is actually very common in English.It is more used if you ask someone to do something for you or perhaps pick you something up and they do it.Naturally because they have done what you asked them to, you thank them by calling them a lifesaver because they helped in your period of need.This is definitely one to say if you want to seem more like a native.這種表達感謝的方式或許聽起來很奇怪，但事實上在英語中十分常見。如果你要求別人為你做事或者幫你撿東西，而且他們幫助你了，那么這種方式在此情況下更常用到。這是理所當然的，因為他們已經做到你要求的事情，你稱呼他們為救命恩人、感謝他們也因為他們在你需要的時候幫助了你。如果你希望更像一個母語使用者，那這個表達方式一定要用。

Example: You're a lifesaver for taking me to the airport because if you hadn't, I would

have missed my flight.非常感謝你把我送到機場，如果你不這么做，我可能會錯過飛機。

5）I appreciate it/that When someone does something for you that you really love and feel very grateful for you can show your thanks to them by telling them that you “appreciate it”.In this instance “it” refers to the action or whatever is being thanked for.This could be very common in business situations and has connotations of formality associated with it.Use it to impress your boss.當別人為你做了你確實很喜歡很感激的事情，你可以用appreciate it來表達自己的感激。這種情況下，”it“指代你要感謝的行為或其他事情。在工作場合中很常見，帶有例行公事的隱含意?？梢杂盟o你的老板留下一個深刻的印象。

Example: All your help when moving house was amazing, I really appreciate it.搬家時你提供的幫助令人驚喜，我真的很感激。

英語寫作—地道表達（例句均選自國外原版報刊）

（一）-----原因篇

（一）由于，出于，因為

1born of necessity/economic success

The countries face similar problems and challenges;their leaders shared a sense of regional solidarity born of the struggle against big powers.這些國家面臨相似的困難和挑戰。由于這些國家領導人要與大國作斗爭，有加強地區團結的共識。

Even the Chinese in Taiwan are showing surprise faith in the mainland’s economic prospect, though that faith is born partly of necessity.甚至臺灣的人士對大陸的經濟也抱有很大的信心，雖然這種信心部分是出于自身的需要。

2out of fear/interest/curiosity

Perhaps we should debate the merits of doing nothing, out of fear that a technologically advanced civilization would pose a threat to our institution, indeed, to our lives.或許我們會爭論不發展的優點，這出自害怕技術發達的文明會對我們的制度，甚至我們的生活造成威脅。

3as a result of

Our world is changing rapidly.As a result of a fluctuating economy, more and more women as well as men are entering the work force and attaining high-paying, satisfying careers.我們的世界飛速變化。由于經濟形勢波動，越來越多的婦女和男人一樣進入勞動力市場，獲得高薪和令人滿意的工作。

4by virtue of

Success itself retained moral and social overtones, by virtue of its contribution to the sum of human comfort and progress.由于成功對人類幸福和進步做出了貢獻，因此成功本身包含著道德和社會的含義。

5on the grounds that/ on technical(medical)grounds/ on

grounds of

Once they passed their six-month trial period, they don’t have to work unless they want to.For many years hardly anyone has been fired on the grounds of gross inefficiency.一旦過了六個月的試用期，如果他們自己不想做事，他們就可以什么都不干。幾乎沒有人因為工作效率低而被開除。

We have, therefore, a shortage of teachers, due first to their attraction into more remunerative fields, and secondly to the inadequate status and emphasis given.因此，我們缺少教師，首先是因為他們被吸引到報酬更優厚的地方，另一個原因是教師地位低，得不到足夠的重視。

7owing to

Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1996, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new policies regarding the limitation of building.建設商品房的投資在 1996 年增長了 12%，比起需求增長方面的原因，害怕新的政策會限制建房的因素更多些。

8thanks to

Today, many, many telephone users regard international calls as routine, and overseas service, thanks largely to underseas cables and communications satellites, has undergone extraordinary improvement.今天，許許多多電話用戶對國際長話已習以為常了，全球通訊服務的極大改善主要是由于海底電纜和通訊衛星。

第五篇：英語寫作中關于“人”的表達

英語寫作中關于“人”的表達

大家好，今天想給大伙講講寫作中關于“人們”的用法。大家在寫作過程中最常用的一個單詞就是“people”。甚至在一整片文章里面全都是“people”，給人一種非常重復累贅、毫無新意的感覺。殊不知，英文文采好的第一特點就是“換詞”，也就是用不同的表達方式來表示相同的意思。

接下來，我給大家列舉下在作文里面，你經?？梢杂玫降谋硎尽叭藗儭钡脑~匯如下：people，person，individual，human beings，one，those who，population，the public。那么，這些詞匯如何區別，在什么場合下應該選擇什么詞匯呢? 1)people: 作“人”講時，是集合名詞，表復數概念。說“一個人”時，不用 people。當表示兩個以上的人時，可用 people。如：twenty people 二十個人。people作“民族”解時，有單、復數之分。如:a people 一個民族。There are 56 peoples in China.2)person: 它泛指 man，woman 或 child 中的任何一個，其復數形式是 persons，但人們習慣用 people 代替 persons?！耙粋€人”常譯作 a person，而需要說明一個人的性別時，要用 a man 或 a woman 來表示。

3)human being: 一般是用來指任何人或整個人類，不考慮性別(相當于mankind)。表示“人類”這個物種。通常提到“地球”、“宇宙”或者“動植物”時，作為一個對應的概念存在。比如：1.human beings are the dominant species in this planet.2.That's one small step for man, but one giant leap for human beings(也可用 mankind).4)individual: 可作名詞，表示“個人”。通常跟“集體”、“國家”相對應。強調每一個人，相當于“every single person”。比如：this newly introduced policy is going to have profound influence on individuals.5)one: 不定代詞，泛指“一個人”，通常后面跟一種特點，指的是“具備這種特點”的一個人會怎樣。例子：one who refuses criticism from others is unlikely to succeed in life.6)those who: 這兩個詞通常連用，表示“那些...人”，用法跟 one 相似，只不過 one 表單數，those who 表一群人。例子：those who break the law should be brought into justice(受到法律的制裁).7)population: 指“人口”;也可以用來表示“全體人民”、“國民”，強調一個整個國家人民的“整體”的概念。比如：Mandela gained support from the population by his charismatic endeavors and speeches.8)the public: 公眾，表示社會上大多數人(的看法或意見)。This action of deception comes under heavy condemn from the public.(*population 表示整個國家或地區的人，而 public 更加偏重社會上主流人群)如果大家能活用上述 8 個表示“人”的詞，你的作文一定不會陷入不斷重復“people”的泥潭。
