生活会碰到的英语口语

时间: 诗盈1200 分享

  小编今天就给大家整理了一些平时可能会用到的英语口语,大家可以熟读熟练,背一背,希望各位同学们在生活中碰到的时候可以用到哦。

  会面时间

  1. heads up 当心,警告,通报

  Head就是头,是人身体上很重要的一部分。在这个习惯用语里,head是多数,所以在head后面要加s, heads。 Headsup就是在一件事发生前先告诉某人,或者是先警告某人。heads up用做名词时,前面可加不定冠词a。

  请看下面的例子。纽约一家大公司在旧金山有个分公司。分公司的经理听说纽约总部的总裁和总经理要来旧金山检查工作。于是,旧金山分公司的经理就召开了一个职工会议,他对工作人员说:

  例句-1:I want to give you all a heads up that somebig shots from New York will be here next Monday to see how we're doing. So let's make sureour desks are clean and that we show them what we're doing - we want to put on a good showfor them.

  我要预先告诉你们,纽约的几位重要人物星期一要到这儿来检查我们的工作。所以,我们一定要把桌子弄干净,让他们看看我们在做什么——我们要做得好一点给他们看看。

  2. face time 会面时间,面对面交谈

  这两个单词都很简单,face就是脸,time就是时间。那么,这两个词合在一起又是什么意思呢? Face time的意思是面对面跟一个人谈话。

  下面这个例子是一个人在说他非常羡慕他的一个朋友。这个朋友是一家服装公司的推销员,由于他很能干,所以赚了不少钱,生活得很舒适。

  例句-2:This guy Joe is the best salesman I ever saw. If he can get 20 minutes of face timewith a buyer for a department store he'll walk out with a nice big fat order. I'll bet Joe could sellbathing suits at the North Pole.

  我从来还没有见到过像Joe那么好的销售员。要是他能够和一个百货公司的采购员面谈二十分钟,他一定会得到一大笔订货。我可以打赌,Joe即便到北极去都能推销游泳衣。

  3. Think outside the box 跳出固有思维模式;跳脱框架思考;解放思想

  Think就是想;box就是一个盒子。Think outside the box按字面解释就是:在盒子外面想。

  这好像没有什么意思,它的意思是一个人富有想象力,他能超越一般的范围提出崭新的想法。

  我们都知道达尔文和爱因斯坦等伟大科学家。他们都是因为有特殊的创新而闻名世界。但是,还有许多没有名气的人也利用他们的想象力创造出一些几乎每个人都需要用的东西。下面就是一个例子:

  例句-3:A lot of everyday things we take for granted. Take windshield wipers on cars forexample. The earliest autos didn't have wipers cleaning rain off so drivers could see. Butsomebody happened to think outside the box and now all cars have them.

  我们对许多日常用的东西都已经习以为常。汽车上的挡风玻璃刮水器就是一个例子。最早的汽车上没有那能够刮掉雨水,让司机能看清楚的刮水器。但是某一个人发挥了创新精神,现在所有汽车上都有刮水器。

  恋爱十宗罪(2)

  6. You're afraid of breaking up

  你们总是害怕会分手

  Nobody in a truly happy partnership is afraid ofbreaking up. If you are, that's a big warning signthat something's wrong. But often, what's wrong isthe fear itself. Not only does it betray a lack of trust, but it shows a lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. Quite frankly, this isn't going to be verysatisfying for you, and it also isn't going to be verysatisfying for your partner.

  拥有真正幸福感情的人是不会害怕分手的。如果你在担心,那就是在警告你,有些东西不太对劲。但经常真正不对劲的是害怕情绪的本身,它不仅泄露了你对对方的不信任,也是你自身缺乏自信自尊的表现。坦白说,如果你对这段感情不满意,那你的爱人又怎么会满足呢?

  7. You're dependent

  你太依赖对方

  There's a thin line between companionship and support and dependency. If you depend onyour partner — that is, if you absolutely cannot live without her or him — you've crossed thatline. The pressure is now on your partner to fill whatever's missing in you — a pressure s/hewill learn to resent.

  互相扶持还是太过依赖,只在一念之间。如果你事事依赖对方(也就是说你离了他/她就活不了),你就越界了。你身上的压力全部转嫁到你的爱人身上,这样的压力,会让他/她最终怨恨你。

  8. You expect happiness

  你以为爱情里只有幸福

  A sign of a bad relationship is that one or both partners expect either to make the other happyor for their partner to make them happy. This is not only an unrealistic expectation to lay onyourself or on them — nobody can "make" you happy, except you — but it's an unrealisticexpectation to lay on your relationship. Relationships aren't only about being happy, andthere's lots of times when you won't and even shouldn't be.

  一段糟糕的感情,其中一个信号就是期望对方会让自己幸福,或者以为自己会让对方幸福。这不仅仅是你对自己或者对方的不切实际的期望(要知道除了你自己没人能让你幸福),也是你对感情不现实的幻想。一段感情,不仅仅是快乐和幸福,还有很多痛苦、悲伤和难过的时刻。

  9. You never fight

  你们从来不吵架

  A good argument is essential, every now and then. In part, arguing helps bring out the littlestuff before it becomes major, but also, fighting expresses anger which is a perfectly normalpart of a human's emotional make-up. Your relationship has to be strong enough to hold all ofwho you are, not just the sunny stuff.

  偶尔的争论很重要。从某种程度上来说,争吵可以在大问题出现前就消化掉根源的小矛盾。通过争吵表达愤怒,也是我们情感渲泄最完美的方法。你们的感情要足够牢固,可以包容你们的所有一切,而不只是快乐阳光的一面。

  10. You expect it to be easy/you expect it to be hard

  你以为感情很容易/很难

  There are two deeply problematic attitudes about relationships. One is that a relationshipshould be easy, that if you really love each other and are meant to be together, it will work itselfout. The other is that anything worth having is going to be hard — and that therefore if it'shard, it must be worth having. The outcome of both views is that you don't work at yourrelationship and quickly get burnt out.

  有两种观点对感情的理解非常不对:一种认为维系感情很容易,如果真的深爱彼此注定会在一起,那就顺其自然,车到山前必有路;一种认为只有历尽艰险才能值得拥有,所以既然经过各种磨难和艰苦,那这段感情肯定值得拥有。这两种观点的结果是,你不会经营感情,而爱的花火也会很快熄灭。

  Your choices

  你其实可以选择

  There isn't any one answer to any of the problems above. There are choices though. If yousuffer from any of these problems, figure out how to fix it, whether that means therapy, asolo mountain retreat, or just talking to your partner and committing yourselves to change.
