le expensive and I don’t have much money with me.

第二部分 日常交际口语要素

第一单元 问候

【编者按】

Americans have so many different ways of greeting one another! In fact, many times an American greeting will consist of several greeting questions strung together. It is very common to hear a friend say,“Hi-Stone-What’s-up-how-are-you-doing-wow-I-haven’t-seen-you-how-have-you-been?”all in one breath. Although Americans generally believe that shorter is better, the function of greeting is an exception to the rule. Don’t be surprised if you are greeted in this way. Just practice the following greetings and responses until they become automatic. You’ll soon be saying “Wow-I’m-great-never-been-better-everything’s-going-my-way-how-about-you?”

美国人彼此之间有很多种不同的问候方式。事实上,很多时候,一个美国式的问候经常由几个相连问候的问题连结起来。我们会很普遍地听到有人对你一口气说“嗨,Stone,怎么样?你好吗?我好久不见了,你最近怎么样?”尽管美国人一般认为问候越短越好,但是作为问候的功能可以将这个规则排除在外。

如果你被人用这种连贯的方式问候千万不要惊讶。疯狂操练以下给出的问候句及其回应句,直到最后反应自如为止。你将很快会说:“噢,我很好,从来没有这样好过,事事顺心,你怎么样?”

1. Hi!

]???[

你好!

【疯狂实战】

○1A: Hi!

(你好!)

B: Hi!

(你好!)

○2A: Hi, Kim. How are you?

○3A: Hi, I haven’t seen you for ages.

(你好,很久不见了。)

B: Wow, I know. It’s great to see you again.

(是啊。很高兴又见到你。)

Kim’s Note: This may sound simple, but it is very important. It is so common to hear people “singing” the word “Hello” when you walk through the streets of China. I think it is great that people know an English word, but they would get a lot more response with a friendly “hi”. Never underestimate a simple word. Even “hi” can make a big difference.

这个词听起来简单,却非常重要。走在中国的街头,总能听到人们如唱歌般的“哼”着Hello。我觉得人们懂得一个英语单词是一件好事,但一个友好的“hi”却能让他们得到更多的回应。永远也不要低估了一个简单的单词,哪怕一个“hi”也会带来很大的不同。

2. Nice to meet you.

]???????????[

见到你很高兴。

【疯狂实战】

(很久没见了,近来怎样?)

B: Oh, I’ve been super. And yourself?

8. What’s new?

]???????[

近来怎样?

【疯狂实战】

请想想“What’s new!” “激进”的英语回答。“近来怎么样?”——“很好” 、“非常棒” 、“棒极了”等等。一个人如果经常处于自我激发的状态,久而久之,便会溶入自己的身心,形成强大的内动力。心态改变,就能改变自己的世界。

本书中对应的回答很多,要学会灵活运用,而不要拘泥于特定的句子和对话。

(没忙什么。你呢?)

○3A: Hi,Kim. It’s good to see you.

(你好,Kim,见到你真高兴。)

B: Yeah, it sure is. What’s up?

(是啊,近来好吗?)

10. What’s happening?

]?????????????[

怎么样?

【外国专家的话】

A response to “What’s happening?” would never be “Not bad.” For, although “What’s happening?” can stand in for “How are you?”, “What’s happening?” still maintains its literal meaning – “What’s going on?”

A good response might be “Same old same old.” or “Nothing much”. “Same old same old.” means something like: “Nothing’s new. Same old things are going on. Nothing’s changed. Just the usual things are going on”.

“Not bad.(还好。/不错)”不能用来回答“What’s happening?”。因为,尽管“What’s happening?”可以用来表示“How are you?(你好吗?)”这层意思,但是“What’s happening?”仍然保留着它的字面意思——“What’s going on?(发生了什么事?)”。

恰当的回答应该是:“Same old same old.(老样子,老样子。)”或“Nothing much.(一般。)”

“Same old same old.”的意思类似于“没什么新鲜事发生,原来的事情还在进行。没有什么改变的,一切如常。”

【疯狂实战】

○1A: Hey, man! What’s happening?

(嘿,伙计!怎么样?)

B: Nothing much.

(一般。)

○2A: Hi, Bill. What’s happening?

(嗨,Bill。怎么样?)

B: Same old same old. What’s going on with you ?

(老样子,老样子。你怎么样了?)

○3A: Hey, long time no see, what’s happening?

(嘿,好久不见,过得怎么样?)

B: Not a whole lot.

(一般。)

第三节 道歉用语

【编者按】

Everyone makes mistakes! But, not everyone knows how to make an apology. All too often the first response to a mistake is to blame someone else. Effectively expressing a sincere apology is a valuable function that will not only show off your English, it will also show off your excellent manners. Showing consideration for others is an important part of effective communication.

金无足赤,人无完人,每个人都会犯错。但是,不是每个人都知道在犯错后该怎

样道歉。大多数人经常在犯错后第一反应就是责备他人。及时有效地表达一份真诚的道歉是至关重要的,它不仅可以向他人显示你用英语道歉的水平,而且可以体现你雍容的风度。向他人表达你的体贴是人与人之间进行有效沟通的一个重要部分。

【发音分析】

○1 (I’m) sorry.

○2Sorry I’m late.

○3I’m sorry to bother you.

上组句子中含一个典型的、美国特有的“大嘴发音”[ɑ]。元音字母“o”在重读闭音节中,美音和英音的发音不同。这是英美发音的重大区别之一。这个音我们俗称为:“感叹祖国大好河山音”——“啊,祖国大好河山”。

Crazy Admiration, Revelation, Exclamation Sound

Kim’s Note: I happen to know that this is a favorite of Teacher Lee. I know that he likes this pattern because it raises your English level dramatically. He’s right. If you use this in your daily life you will stun people with your mastery of English. “Nice to meet you” is good, but “I’ve been looking forward to meeting you” is even better.

我刚巧知道这是李老师最喜欢的一句话。我知道他之所以喜欢这句话,是因为它能够明显地提高你的英语水平。他是对的。在日常生活中,如果你使用这个句子,人们将会对你掌握英语的程度目瞪口呆。使用“Nice to meet you”已经很好了,但是“I’ve been looking forward to meeting you”更好。

③It’s completely different.(恰恰相反。)

63.I have / had nothing to do with it.

(滚开,小子。)

B: You’re always picking on me!

(你总是对我有意见!)

【特别注解】

这里的“small change” 可不是“找数,找头”或“小零花钱”的意思,而是指“小孩子”。下面,我们还是来看看KIM老师是怎么解释的:

Kim’s Note: This is slang for a little kid. Most small children don’t like being called this name because it implies they aren’t worth much, just like small change from a dollar (a few pennies).

“small change”是一个俚语,指的是小孩子。绝大部分的小孩都不喜欢被别人这样叫,因为这意味着他们是无足轻重的,成不了大气候,就像一美元中的小零头(一分,两分??)那样。

【额外成就感】

六星级成语“pick on”意思是“找茬,作弄”。下面我们给出更多的例句: * Why pick on me?

为什么偏要跟我过不去?

* He gets picked on because he’s small.

因为他小,所以他老是被捉弄。

* There’s one girl at my school who everybody picks on because she doesn’t wear what everybody else wears - they’re horrible to her. 我们学校有个女孩子,每个人都爱找她茬,因为她穿着另类--他们对她特 别恶劣。

(你看你能再借几块钱给我吗?)

B: Get lost! I’ve already lent you a lot of money and you never pay me back.

(滚开!我已经借了很多钱给你了,可你从未还过。)

72.ass

屁股;傻瓜;蠢货;讨厌鬼

【疯狂讲解】

“ass”的本意是“屁股(butt)”的意思,由此引申出来的“傻瓜,蠢货,讨厌鬼(jerk)”在美国口语中被广泛地运用。如果只知道“ass”的字面意思,而对其引申意一无所知,当美国人吹胡子瞪眼地冲着你说了句“Kiss my ass!”时,你望文生义地照着自己理解的字面意思去做,那你闹的笑话可就大了!搞不好美国人还会告你对他进行“性骚扰(sexual harassment)呢!请大家务必要认真学习和体会以下对话中的“ass”的意思。

Kim’s Note: I really don’t know why expressions using the word “ass” are so popular in American English. I just know you hear them every day.

我真的不知道为什么美国英语中会有那么多带有“ass”的说法。我只知道你每天都能听到这些说法。

【疯狂实战】

B: Who are you calling an ass?

(你说谁是讨人厌?)

A: He’s such an ass (=jerk).

(他是个讨厌鬼。)

B: I know. He’s the stupidest guy I know.

(我知道。他是我认识的人中最愚蠢的一个。)

A: Move your ass.=Move your butt.

(把你的屁股挪开/滚开。)

B: Don’t talk to me like that!

(不要这样和我说话!)

A: Look at that hot girl / good looking girl.

(瞧那个性感/靓妞。)

B: Damn! She’s a fine piece of ass.

(见鬼,她真有味。)

A: Hey,dude, can you scratch my back?

(嘿,哥们,帮我挠挠背好吗?)

B: Kiss my ass. Scratch it yourself.

(滚,你自己挠吧)

A: Don’t mess with him, he’s bad ass.

(不要跟他乱来,那家伙有两下子。)

B: I’ ll be fine.

(没事儿。)

A: Hey man, nice car.

(喂,伙计,你的车挺漂亮的嘛!)

B: Yeah, isn’t it bad ass?

(是啊,不错吧?)

【疯狂解说】

“bad ass” 在这里相当于really great, good, cool, awesome, impressive, really tough, really bad。

【特别奉献】

学习英语目的不是为了考试,而是为了说,为了与人交流,考试只是顺便的。在日常生活中,生气骂人是常有的事,如Damn it / Shit / Shut up / Go to hell / You big jerk / Get lost!都是英美人士骂人时的常用语。为了方便记忆,我们已将它们融入了下面这一组对话中,请大家务必要反复模仿磁带,直至脱口而出!

A: Damn it, I’m sick of you always taking me for granted.

B: Shit! I don’t want to hear this garbage! I mean it.

A: I don’t care. You never listen to me. You never tell me you love me?

B: Shut up! No wonder, you’re such a nagging bitch!

A: How dare you call me that? You big jerk! Go to hell!

B: Ha! Get lost, I don’t care what you say!

【参考译文】

A:他妈的,你总是对我想当然,真烦人。

B:扯蛋!我不想听这些垃圾!我说真的。

A:我不管。你从不听我的,你从不对我说你爱我??

B:闭嘴!难怪你是那么一个唠唠叨叨的贱人!

A:你怎么可以这样叫我?你这个混蛋!去死吧你!

B: 哈!滚开,你说什么我都不在乎!
