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。)

第四篇:英语小知识:跟老外寒暄、妙句
英语小知识:跟老外寒暄、妙句
生活在国外,你是不是常常不知道怎么和别人寒暄?除了How are you,你还会别的吗?别人在跟你打招呼之后,除了Fine, thank you, and you,你还会别的吗?下面给大家详细列举了几乎所有常见的打招呼的方式,跟老外聊天不再尴尬!
寒暄方式1:How are you? 如何回应:
Very well, thanks.(这才是最正确的回答,如果别人用how..发问,正确的语法应该是用副词来回应的。不过大家渐渐不太重视这个问题,就延伸出许多其他的回答。还可以说一句And you?)
Fine.(如果你只想简单回应,不想继续聊天)Not bad.(比Fine更友好一点的回应,如果想同样问候别人,可以加一句How about yourself?)
Fine, thanks.(比较正式的回应,一般是对不太熟悉的人说的)Pretty good.(这就是随便的一种回答)
Great!How are you doing?(这就是很明显的想要将谈话继续下去的一种回答方式。)
I'm hanging in there.(意思是说你今天过得很不好,或者你还可以说A tough day!)
I've been better.(一个负面的回答常常表示你想继续话题,并告诉别人你的sad story。)寒暄方式2…How's it going? 如何回应:
你也可以用How are you的那些回答来回应这个问题。另外一些回答方式:
It's going well.(友好、有礼貌的回复)
寒暄方式3 …What's up?/ What's happening?(Informal)如何回应:
这个问题其实就是在问 “What's going on?/What's happening in your life?” 如果你不想跟对方深入聊下去,可以简单回复。
What's up(What's up其实是不用回答的,有时候人们就同样一句what's up来回应)Nothing.(一种比较没礼貌的说法,但可以在你生气的时候使用)
Not a lot.(常见回复)
Nothing much.(最常见的回复)
Oh, just the usual.(如果没什么特别的事情发生,这么说也不错。)
Just the same old same old.(通过这个表达你觉得每天生活挺无聊的。)
Oh gosh, all kinds of stuff!(如果你的生活很忙很充实,每天都过得很新鲜,可以这样回答。)Been busy.Can't complain.(相当于not bad)
一些其他的问候语: How’s everything? What's going on? How've you been? What have you been up to? How are things? What's new? Good to see you!这些问候语的回复与How are you, What’s up都相似。
英语口语妙句 当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完,你烦透了,说“you are so boring”.(你真烦!)。“shut up!”(闭嘴!)自然没错,可人家受得了吗?不如来一句“oh, come on.give me a break!”(帮帮忙,让我歇歇吧!)这多地道、多幽默。要想说人“气色好”。“you look fine!”当然不错,可如果你说“you're in the pink!”就妙得多了,实际上,在英语口语中,表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。“他精力充沛”美国人说:“he is bouncy.”而不说“he is energetic ”,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。
如:久仰,“I get mind of you ”比“I heard a lot about you”轻松得多。
代问他人好当然能用“please remember me to your sister.” 或“please give my best wishes to your father ”不过,若是很好的朋友,何不说,“please give my love to Jim.”
在中国可不能随便说“我想你”,然而,当和西方人分手时说“I will miss you ”要比说“good-bye”或“see you soon”有趣得多,不妨一试。
有人开会迟到了,你若对他说 “you are late.”,听起来象是废话,若说“did you get lost ?”,则更能让他歉然。
别人征求你的意见,问能否开窗户等,你要说“you can do that.”就有点土了,用一句“do you have the time? ”实际上,问他人的姓名,地址都可以这么用:“may I have you name?”要比“what's your name ? ”礼貌得多,不过警察例外。
别人问你不愿公开的问题,切勿用“it's my secret ,don't ask such a personal question.”回答,一来显得你没有个性,二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说“I would rather not say.”(还是别说了吧!)。
有时候,你想说什么,可说是想不起来,你可以说“well …” “let me see” “just a moment” 或 “it's on the tip of my tongue.”等,相比之下,最后一个句型是最地道的。
交谈时,你可能会转换话题,不要只说“by the way ”,实际上,“to change the subject” “before I forget” “while I remember” “mind you ”都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。
遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂,“I know”可能是中国人用得最多,而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时,你如果连说两遍“I know”,我敢保证,他不会再跟你说什么了。用“I got it ”就顺耳得多,要是不懂就说“I'm not clear about it.”不过如果你会说“It's past my understanding”或“it's beyond me.”你的教师定会惊讶不已的。
吃货必备的地道口语第五篇:“真相”和“废话”最地道的英语表达
“真相”和“废话”最地道的英语表达
事情的真相
当你想表达“这是事情的真相”时,会想到什么词呢?Truth?Inside information?都不地道,是lowdown。lowdown这个词通常用来指“事情的真相”或
外界不知道的“内幕消息”,它有时会跟介词on连用,例如:“give someone the lowdown on something(告诉某人关于某件事情的内幕)”。
例:Just give me the lowdown,and you'll be fine.(只要告诉我真相,你就没事。)
废话
在我们平时的口语中,“废话”这个词是出现频率相当高的,那英语中“废话”用什么词表达最地道呢?很简单,是“noise”。
noise 在词典中的解释有“nonsense;empty talk”,它的原意是“噪音”,在这里则是用来形容一个人胡说八道、讲一些毫无意义的废话,就好比噪音一样。
例:I don't wanna hear that noise!Just tell me what you're gonna do right now.(我不想听那些废话!只要告诉我你现在要怎么办就行。)
