第三篇：英语俚语
跟老外学习9种最地道的英语告白
to have a crush on(someone)； to feel an instant magnetism；
to catch one's eyes； to hit it off；to have the hots for(someone)；
to be attracted to each other.这些片语，都是描写男女间互相倾慕，两情相悦，有吸引力或一见锺情。
例如：* He(she)has a crush on her(him)(他对她十分爱慕)。
* He felt an instant magnetism when their eyes met.（他们见面时，他立即感到磁性般的吸住）。意指女的外表吸引;如果是 she felt …… 那么就是指男的外表吸引。
* A nice-looking girl caught his eye.（漂亮的妞儿吸住）。注意：不用eyes。
* He was introduced to a pretty woman and they seem to hit it off immediately.（他被介绍给一位漂亮女子後，他们似乎就一见锺情）。或
* They were attracted to each other the moment their eyes met.* When he met her, he had the hots for her.（当他见到她，他就对她爱慕不已。）(多半指 sexual attraction。)
例如说，女对男的没有兴趣，那么也可以说：
* She did not feel any attraction toward him.（她对他毫无兴趣);或* He is the man for whom she feels no attraction, catch or no catch.（不管他的条件好或坏，她对他就是没有兴趣）。这里的 catch，可指财富、地位、名望和外表。
这些都是指男人英俊潇洒，作风奔放，野性旺盛，喜欢在「女人窝」里。例如：
* Mr.Lin has been considered a prince on a white horse.（林先生被认为是白马王子。）这是中古时代女子对男人的梦中理想
现在也有老外认为美男子应该是：全身盔甲灿烂光辉的王子。
* He is a prince in a shining armour.（动词时态：shine, shone 或shined。）
* Many people think that Mr.Clinton is a real lady„s man.（或 a real womanizer）(许多人认为柯林顿先生喜欢在女人窝里。）
*As a casanova, he has many girl friends.（由於他是美男子，他有许多女友。）
（Casanova 是意大利人，据说是顶尖的美男子，他的全名是：Casanova deseingalt Giovanni Giacomo 在此 casanova 被当做普通名词，故 c不必大写。
如果形容男人外表魅惑力大，能使女人「如饥似渴」般崇拜他，也可以说：
* He has melted her down and made her knees buckle.（他把她溶化了，使她拜倒他的西装裤下）。这句话老外通常不用在男人身上，也许因为男子应该比较坚强些吧！
* So many women swarmed him like bees to the honey.（许多女人看到他，就像一群蜜蜂见到蜜那样蜂拥而至。）
倘若说：…… like flies to the garbage指像一群苍蝇喜欢垃圾那样，当然就不是恭维了。to be a beauty queen;to be a dream boat;to be a cutie;to be a babe;
to be a fox.这些都是形容女人漂亮，曲线玲珑，身材曼妙，挥身性感或散发一种性感的野性。例如：* She is a beauty queen.（= very beautiful）
* She is a cutie.（= pretty and attractive）（漂亮迷人）
* She is a dream boat.（= ideal type of woman）（理想女人）
* She is a babe.（= very beautiful and attractive）
* She is a fox.（= She is a foxy lady = She is sexy.）（她很性感）。
注意：如果说： She is as sneaky（或 cunning）as a fox.又是指她像狐狸一样的狡猾。
假如女人能使男人拜倒她的石榴裙下或神魂颠倒那么就能说：
* Her beauty（attraction）has caused his knees to shake.（或 to quiver）（她的漂亮迷人使他膝部发抖）。或* She made him feel up there in the clouds.（= on clouds nine = on the top of the world）（她使他神魂颠倒，飘飘然如仙。）
其实，所谓「情人眼里出西施」（Beauty is in the eyes of beholder），世上的美或丑，只是主观的看法而已。
to fall in love with（someone）；to fall head over heels in love;to love（someone）from head to toe.都是指男欢女爱，沉溺情海，或是爱得晕头转向。
例如：* They have fallen in love with each other for years.（他们相爱多年）。
（动词时态：fall, fell, fallen）
* He fell head over heels in love with her.（= He fell for her head over heels = He is head over-heels in love withher.）（他与她沉溺情海，爱得晕头转向。）多半指很快落入情海。
* He loves her from head to toe.（他从头到脚地爱她）。多指经过较长时间後才热恋, 或* He falls madly in love with her.至於男女热恋时「目中无人」或「形影不离」，也可以说:
* They are two peas in a pod.（他们像豆荚里的两粒豆子--即形影不离。）
* They only have eyes for each other（and forget the entire world.）（世界上似乎只有他们两个人。）如何学说一口地道的美式口语

美剧中最常见的口语表达
kick ass 了不起
A: Wow, you fixed my computer in less than 10 minutes.You're good.B: Yep.I just kick ass.“kick ass” 除了字面上的「踢屁股」外, 还有「厉害、打败」的意思。当「踢屁股」时, 比如某人放你鸽子, 你很气, 就可以说:“I'm going to kick his ass.”（我得踢他的屁股）。当「厉害」用时, 就像上面例句一样用。“kick ass”还可作「打败某人的意思」。比如某人一向在某方面比你强, 终于有一天你比他厉害了, 你就可以说:“Hahaha……I kicked yourass.”.觉得 “ass” 太难听的人, 就用 “butt” 吧!
2.XYZ 检查你的拉链
Hey, man.XYZ.“XYZ” 是 “Check your zipper.” 的意思。在美国, 填表选项时多用打「X」来表示（台湾则用打勾表示）。这个选项的动作就叫“Check”, 也就是这里的XYZ 的 X所代表的。Y 是 Your, Z 就是 Zipper 啰!

A: Do you want to come in for some tea?
B: No.I'm running late.I really need to hit the road.“running late” 是快迟到了的意思。
“Hit the road” 的 “hit” 有「去」的意思。好比某人每周去健身房三次, 你就可以说 “He hits the gym three times a week.”.“I really need to hit the road.” 还可以用说成“I really need to get going.”.4.hang out 和朋友在一起
A: I don't know what is going on lately.Jack seems to curse a lot these days.B: Well, that's just what you get from hanging out with the wrong crowd.“hang out” 是和朋友一起做一些事。看电影、逛街、聊天都算。也不限指异性朋友。
