英语写作：感恩的多种表达

感恩节刚过去没多久，但总有些美好的人和事需要我们一直心存感激。今天为大家整理了一些关于感恩的俚语和表达感谢的方式，快来学学各种花样的感恩方式，让我们的感恩行动一直不单调。

1.与感恩节相关的俚语

(To be)thankful(for something)（对某事）心存感激

This is a very common phrase that you'll hear around Thanksgiving.It is a way to express that you are thankful(happy)for the good things in your life.你会在感恩节前后听到这个短语，它十分常见。这是你对生活中的美好事物表达感恩的一种方式。

Example: Let's take turns and say what we're thankful for.I'm thankful that I'm healthy and that all of us could be together for this Thanksgiving feast.让我们轮流表达值得感恩的事情。我感恩我有健康的身体，感恩我们所有人能齐聚此地，共享感恩节的盛宴。

(To be)a turkey 怪异；滑稽有趣

This is not connected to Thanksgiving, but if you call a person a turkey, you're saying that he or she is weird or funny.这个表达和感恩节无关，如果你称呼某人为火鸡，那你是在说他/她很怪异或者滑稽有趣。

Example: As a joke, while John was riding the bus he was making airplane sounds and pretending that he was a pilot.He's a real turkey sometimes.这是个玩笑，约翰在开公交车时总是发出飞机的轰鸣声，假装他是个飞行员。有时候他真是有趣。

Hot potato 烫手山芋；棘手问题

A hot potato is a difficult problem or situation that no one wants to solve, so they pass it on and on from one person to the next.A hot potato will burn your hands if you hold it, so you need to throw it to someone else quickly!烫手山芋指一个没人想解决的问题或处境，所以人们互相推诿。如果你握住烫手山芋，它会灼伤你的手，因此你需要很快把它扔给其他人。

It is also the name of a game that you may have played in class, where you have to throw around a ball or other object as fast as possible.它还是一个游戏名称（击鼓传花），你可能在课堂上玩过，你必须尽可能快速地把手上的球或其他物体丢开。

Example: We still need to plan our presentation, but no one has the time or desire to work on it.The presentation is becoming a hot potato, so someone needs to take charge.我们仍然需要策划发布会，但是没人有时间和意愿去做这件事。发布会成了一个烫手山芋，因此需要有人来负责。

Corny 陈旧的，老生常谈的

This is an adjective that means silly, funny or not cool.这是个形容词，表示简单的，有趣的或者陈旧过时的。Example: Now that Tom is a father, he seems to constantly make “dad jokes”—corny jokes that no one laughs at.既然汤姆已为人父，他似乎总是开一些“爸爸式玩笑”——一些陈旧过时的玩笑，没人

笑得出来。

Black Friday 黑色星期五

You may have heard about this day, especially if you’re interested in shopping or discounts.你可能听过这个日子，特别是如果你对购物或折扣感兴趣的话。

In the past—and still today—many people get two days off of work for Thanksgiving: Thursday and Friday.This effectively creates a “four-day weekend,” so many people travel or do fun things during the days after Thanksgiving.过去——如今也是——许多人感恩节会放假两天：星期四和星期五。这实际上创造了一个“四天周末”，因此许多人在感恩节过后的日子里去旅行或者做些有趣的事情。

Also, the day or two after Thanksgiving gives people a good opportunity to do some Christmas shopping, since Christmas is generally about a month after Thanksgiving.However, many people had the same idea, so the day after Thanksgiving began to be called Black Friday because it was usually a chaotic, “dark” time to go shopping since many stores were completely full of people.而且，感恩节后的一两天给了人们一个圣诞节购物的好机会，因为圣诞节通常是在感恩节后大约一个月来临。然而，许多人都有相同的想法，所以感恩节后的日子开始被称为“黑色星期五”，因为那天许多商店都人山人海，一片混乱，是购物的“黑暗”时间。

In recent times, especially with the Internet, many stores have started having “Black Friday Sales.” Sometimes there are good deals, and sometimes people just think there will be good deals, so they go to a store to see.Either way, it is still generally one of the busiest shopping days of the year.最近，尤其是伴随着互联网的发展，许多商店开始推出“黑色星期五折扣”。有时候确实很合算，而有时候只是人们认为它们合算，所以他们会去商店逛一逛。总之，它还是一年中最繁忙的购物节之一。

Example: I don't want to go anywhere for Black Friday.People go crazy trying to find

good sales, but most of the same deals are available online.黑色星期五那天我哪里都不想去。人们疯了似地寻找合算的折扣，但是大部分都能在网上找到。

2.表达感谢的5种方式

1）Cheers Probably best known for being said when people are making a toast to celebrate something or someone at a special event however this can also be used to express thanks.It is worth noting that this is very common in the United Kingdom but not so much in the United States, however it is globally understood in the English speaking world.或许它最为人熟知是人们在特殊场合举杯祝贺某件事或某个人的时候，但是它也可以用来表达感谢。要注意的是它在英国比较常用，在美国较为鲜见。然而，在整个英语世界，人们都能理解它传达的意思。

Example: I just want to say cheers to everyone for coming along to the pub to celebrate my birthday with me.我只想对那些来到这家酒吧和我一起庆祝生日的人说声谢谢。

2）Ta This must seem like a strange word as it only has two letters but has the meaning of “thank you”.This short but to the point way of expressing thanks is really resigned to the United Kingdom and is not likely to be globally understood in the rest of the English speaking world.Funnily enough if you double “ta” to “ta ta” it actually means “bye” instead of thank you.这个词一定看起来很奇怪，因为它只有两个字母，却能表达“谢谢你”。这个表达感谢的方式简明扼要，实际只在英国使用，其他英语国家可能无法理解。说来很有趣的是，如果你把“ta”说两次变成“ta ta”，它就表示再见，而不是谢谢你。

Example:

Ta for making me a cup of tea, mum.妈妈，谢谢你为了沏了一杯茶。

3）Much obliged Saying “much obliged” or even hearing someone else say it is quite possibly something that hasn't happened to you but don't worry because this expression of thanks is not very common at all.In fact, even hearing someone say this nowadays would make your head turn.It is generally seen as being very polite and almost creates a sense of upper class.If you want to be posh then this is the way for you.用这种方式说谢谢，甚至听别人说，对你来说很可能是件从没遇到过的事，但是不用担心，因为这种表达感谢的方式一点也不常见。事实上，如今听到有人这么说你都会侧目。它通常被认为是非常礼貌的方式，几乎营造出一种上流社会的感觉。如果你想时髦一点，那么它或许适合你。

Example: He was much obliged for the award.他对这份奖品深表感谢。

4）You're a lifesaver This may sound like a strange way to thank someone but is actually very common in English.It is more used if you ask someone to do something for you or perhaps pick you something up and they do it.Naturally because they have done what you asked them to, you thank them by calling them a lifesaver because they helped in your period of need.This is definitely one to say if you want to seem more like a native.这种表达感谢的方式或许听起来很奇怪，但事实上在英语中十分常见。如果你要求别人为你做事或者帮你捡东西，而且他们帮助你了，那么这种方式在此情况下更常用到。这是理所当然的，因为他们已经做到你要求的事情，你称呼他们为救命恩人、感谢他们也因为他们在你需要的时候帮助了你。如果你希望更像一个母语使用者，那这个表达方式一定要用。

Example: You're a lifesaver for taking me to the airport because if you hadn't, I would

have missed my flight.非常感谢你把我送到机场，如果你不这么做，我可能会错过飞机。

5）I appreciate it/that When someone does something for you that you really love and feel very grateful for you can show your thanks to them by telling them that you “appreciate it”.In this instance “it” refers to the action or whatever is being thanked for.This could be very common in business situations and has connotations of formality associated with it.Use it to impress your boss.当别人为你做了你确实很喜欢很感激的事情，你可以用appreciate it来表达自己的感激。这种情况下，”it“指代你要感谢的行为或其他事情。在工作场合中很常见，带有例行公事的隐含意。可以用它给你的老板留下一个深刻的印象。

Example: All your help when moving house was amazing, I really appreciate it.搬家时你提供的帮助令人惊喜，我真的很感激。

英语写作—地道表达（例句均选自国外原版报刊）

（一）-----原因篇

（一）由于，出于，因为

1born of necessity/economic success

The countries face similar problems and challenges;their leaders shared a sense of regional solidarity born of the struggle against big powers.这些国家面临相似的困难和挑战。由于这些国家领导人要与大国作斗争，有加强地区团结的共识。

Even the Chinese in Taiwan are showing surprise faith in the mainland’s economic prospect, though that faith is born partly of necessity.甚至台湾的人士对大陆的经济也抱有很大的信心，虽然这种信心部分是出于自身的需要。

2out of fear/interest/curiosity

Perhaps we should debate the merits of doing nothing, out of fear that a technologically advanced civilization would pose a threat to our institution, indeed, to our lives.或许我们会争论不发展的优点，这出自害怕技术发达的文明会对我们的制度，甚至我们的生活造成威胁。

3as a result of

Our world is changing rapidly.As a result of a fluctuating economy, more and more women as well as men are entering the work force and attaining high-paying, satisfying careers.我们的世界飞速变化。由于经济形势波动，越来越多的妇女和男人一样进入劳动力市场，获得高薪和令人满意的工作。

4by virtue of

Success itself retained moral and social overtones, by virtue of its contribution to the sum of human comfort and progress.由于成功对人类幸福和进步做出了贡献，因此成功本身包含着道德和社会的含义。

5on the grounds that/ on technical(medical)grounds/ on

grounds of

Once they passed their six-month trial period, they don’t have to work unless they want to.For many years hardly anyone has been fired on the grounds of gross inefficiency.一旦过了六个月的试用期，如果他们自己不想做事，他们就可以什么都不干。几乎没有人因为工作效率低而被开除。

We have, therefore, a shortage of teachers, due first to their attraction into more remunerative fields, and secondly to the inadequate status and emphasis given.因此，我们缺少教师，首先是因为他们被吸引到报酬更优厚的地方，另一个原因是教师地位低，得不到足够的重视。

7owing to

Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1996, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new policies regarding the limitation of building.建设商品房的投资在 1996 年增长了 12%，比起需求增长方面的原因，害怕新的政策会限制建房的因素更多些。

8thanks to

Today, many, many telephone users regard international calls as routine, and overseas service, thanks largely to underseas cables and communications satellites, has undergone extraordinary improvement.今天，许许多多电话用户对国际长话已习以为常了，全球通讯服务的极大改善主要是由于海底电缆和通讯卫星。

第五篇：英语写作中关于“人”的表达

英语写作中关于“人”的表达

大家好，今天想给大伙讲讲写作中关于“人们”的用法。大家在写作过程中最常用的一个单词就是“people”。甚至在一整片文章里面全都是“people”，给人一种非常重复累赘、毫无新意的感觉。殊不知，英文文采好的第一特点就是“换词”，也就是用不同的表达方式来表示相同的意思。

接下来，我给大家列举下在作文里面，你经常可以用到的表示“人们”的词汇如下：people，person，individual，human beings，one，those who，population，the public。那么，这些词汇如何区别，在什么场合下应该选择什么词汇呢? 1)people: 作“人”讲时，是集合名词，表复数概念。说“一个人”时，不用 people。当表示两个以上的人时，可用 people。如：twenty people 二十个人。people作“民族”解时，有单、复数之分。如:a people 一个民族。There are 56 peoples in China.2)person: 它泛指 man，woman 或 child 中的任何一个，其复数形式是 persons，但人们习惯用 people 代替 persons。“一个人”常译作 a person，而需要说明一个人的性别时，要用 a man 或 a woman 来表示。

3)human being: 一般是用来指任何人或整个人类，不考虑性别(相当于mankind)。表示“人类”这个物种。通常提到“地球”、“宇宙”或者“动植物”时，作为一个对应的概念存在。比如：1.human beings are the dominant species in this planet.2.That's one small step for man, but one giant leap for human beings(也可用 mankind).4)individual: 可作名词，表示“个人”。通常跟“集体”、“国家”相对应。强调每一个人，相当于“every single person”。比如：this newly introduced policy is going to have profound influence on individuals.5)one: 不定代词，泛指“一个人”，通常后面跟一种特点，指的是“具备这种特点”的一个人会怎样。例子：one who refuses criticism from others is unlikely to succeed in life.6)those who: 这两个词通常连用，表示“那些...人”，用法跟 one 相似，只不过 one 表单数，those who 表一群人。例子：those who break the law should be brought into justice(受到法律的制裁).7)population: 指“人口”;也可以用来表示“全体人民”、“国民”，强调一个整个国家人民的“整体”的概念。比如：Mandela gained support from the population by his charismatic endeavors and speeches.8)the public: 公众，表示社会上大多数人(的看法或意见)。This action of deception comes under heavy condemn from the public.(*population 表示整个国家或地区的人，而 public 更加偏重社会上主流人群)如果大家能活用上述 8 个表示“人”的词，你的作文一定不会陷入不断重复“people”的泥潭。
