If you refer to a person as a geek it’s referring to a person in a negative critical way because they like to study too much or spend too much time on the computer and not socialize. But if you call your friend a geek it could be in a fun more playful way.

Geek(名词)你怎样在使用这个词决定了你的态度是否友好!如果你把某个人称为怪人,这说明你是以一种消极的批评的态度再跟他说话,因为他总是在学习或者是一个电脑迷而且不社交。但是如果你把你的朋友称为怪人,你可能就是以一种开玩笑的口吻来说这句话。

Example 1)

例1

“What do think of the new girl Amanda?”

“你认为新来的女孩阿曼达怎么样?”

“Not much, she seems like a geek. She spends all her time in the library!”

“还行吧,她似乎是一个怪人,她一直呆在图书馆。”

16.Looker (noun) If somebody says that you’re a looker, you should definitely be flattered – they are paying you the ultimate compliment and saying that they think you’re good looking. They’ll probably never say it to your face but you could hear it from someone else.

Looker(名词)如果某人称你是一个looker,那你绝对是被奉承了 – 他们这是在赞美你而且认为你很漂亮。他们可能不会当面对你说,但是你能够从别人那听到他们对你的赞美。

Example 1)

17.To be sick (adjective) Cough cough sneeze sneeze…no not this kind of sick. If your buddy says that the party was sick he’s saying he thought it was really cool, awesome or the best. In this case it has a similar meaning to the word awesome, however, you probably will only hear teenagers and college students saying this!

To be sick(形容词)。咳嗽,打喷嚏…不是这种生病。如果你的好朋友说这个聚会让人觉得恶心他其实是想说这个剧会很酷很棒。在种情况下,sick和awesome的词义相同。但是你可能只会听到青少年们和大学生这样说!

Example 1)

例1

“When are you going to Hawaii?”

“你什么时候去夏威夷!”

“Next week! Have you been?”

“昨晚你错过了一个超级棒的聚会!”

“Oh, man, I knew I should have gone!”

“哦!我应该去的!”

18.Epic Fail (noun) The word epic means ‘huge’ and you know what the word ‘fail’ already means. Put the two words together and that’s what it is – a ‘big failure’ or ‘complete disaster/failure’. You’d used this noun when something hasn’t gone the right way as expected and it’s used to exaggerate the idea of failing or doing something wrong.

Epic Fail(名词)。Epic意为‘巨大的’而且你知道‘fail’的含义。把这两个词放到一起你就知道它的词义了 – 一个巨大的失败或者彻底的失败。当事情没有如期按正确的轨道发展的时候你可以使用这个词,它用来夸大某个错误的想法或者事情。

Example 1)

例1

“The school basketball team lost the game by 30 points, can you believe it?”

“学校的篮球队以30分之差输掉了比赛,你能相信嘛?”

“Yeah, epic fail!”

“天呐,彻头彻尾的失败!”

Example 2)

例2

“Did you get your test marks back?”

“你找回你考试的分数了嘛?”

“Yeah, it was an epic fail and I have to redo the classes again next semester!”

“哎,完全没有,下学期我不得不重修这门课了!”

19.To be ripped (adjective). In normal everyday English ripped means ‘torn’ – you can rip your jeans or a piece of paper, but… …in slang it’s got nothing to do with that. If a person is ripped means they have great muscles and bodies – probably because they work out a lot the gym or are into sport.

To be ripped(形容词)。在日常的英语交流中ripped意为‘torn(撕)’– 你可以撕坏你的牛仔裤或者纸。但是 … … 在俚语中它可就不这么用了。如果用ripped形容某个人,这说明他有强壮的肌肉和身体 – 可能是因为他们经常在体育馆里锻炼或者是运动。

Example 1)

例1

“Dude, you’re so ripped! What’s your secret?”

“伙计,你如此强健的秘诀是什么?”

“Gym two hours a day!”

“每天去体育馆里锻炼两个小时!”

Example 2)

例2

“No, why?”

“没有,怎么了?”

“He’s done something to himself! He totally ripped!”

“他忙着自己的事情呢!他现在可强健了!”

“What? No way! He used to be so overweight!”

“什么?不可能!他以前那么瘦小!”

20.Loser (noun) In a game we have winners and we have losers, but if your friend says a person is a loser, it doesn’t mean they lost a game or a competition it means that they don’t like him or her because of their actions and behavior.

Loser(名词)。在比赛中有赢家有输家,但是如果你的朋友说一个人是输家,这并不意味着他们输掉了比赛,这说明由于他/她的行为举止他们并不喜欢她/他。

Example 1)

例1

“Ray is such a loser for breaking up with Rebecca.”

“拉伊和瑞比卡分手真是个傻子。”

“Yeah, I know, he’s never going to find a girl as good as her!”

“嗯,我知道,他再也找不到像她一样好的女孩!”

So there you have it – these are a few of the most common everyday slang phrases you could hear among your English speaking friends. However, do be careful where and when you use them. Slang is mainly used around your friends and people you’re familiar with. It would be a shame if you didn’t get the job because you used slang talk – that would be an epic fail!

这样你就知道了这些俚语 – 在日常生活对话中你会经常听到你的美国朋友们使用这些俚语。然而,你要注意使用它们的场合和时机。俚语用于朋友和家人之间。如果因为使用俚语而错失了得到工作的好机会那就另人懊悔了– 这将是一个彻头彻尾的失败!
