第三篇：“熬夜”的英语地道表达
“熬夜”的英语地道表达
世界杯期间，不少人都会熬夜看球；考试前夕，很多同学会熬夜复习。随着工作学习压力的增大、娱乐生活内容的丰富，现代人似乎越来越习惯于熬夜了。可是熬夜多少会影响身体健康以及第二天的精神状态，所以大家还是要尽量避免熬夜。今天我们来看一些句子，学习其中关于“熬夜”的各种地道说法吧。
1.stay up熬夜
eg：I want to stay up tonight and watch the late show.今晚我不想睡觉，等着看深夜电视节目。
eg：I will make this radio work even if I have to stay up all night.即使通宵不眠，我也要把这台收音机修好。
2.Burn the midnight oil(熬夜)
以前的人都是用油灯来照明，如果有人在深夜时分燃点灯油，即表示那个人仍在努力的埋头苦干。现今，我们已不会再燃点油灯，但是这意思依然保留下来，因而有Burn the midnight oil这个成语的出现。Burn the midnight oil是指通宵达旦地工作，亦即是我们所谓的开夜车。要Burn the midnight oil的时候，实在是一件令人劳累的事，那么，大家就要小心身体了！
eg:“Angela is a workaholic.She always burns the midnight oil on her work.Angela是一个工作狂，她时常也在通宵工作。
3.相关成语Pull an all nighter
与Burn the midnight oil的意思相通。如：Teachers do not encourage students to pull an all nighter for exams.They should pay attention during lessons.”（老师不会鼓励学生在试前才温书至深夜，他们应该上课时专心听书才对。）
I stayed up late last night to watch the final game of the World Cup.我昨晚熬夜看了世界杯决赛。
Late hours don't agree with me.我不习惯熬夜。（keep late hours晚睡晚起）
Did you burn the mid-night oil again last night?你昨晚又熬夜了吗？
It's usual for him to sit up late at night.他经常晚上熬夜。
Some people prefer sitting up to going to bed early.有些人宁可熬夜，也不早睡。
He is a night owl.他是个夜猫子。
She was tired out by these long vigils.长期熬夜使她筋疲力竭。
College students often pull an all-nighter at the end of a semester.一到学期末，学生们就经常通宵学习。

西方小吃的地道英语表达
每天早晨的地铁站边，很多上班族都会排队买早餐，下班后街边的路边摊也会生意火爆，卫生问题先放一边，路边摊确实超好吃！
关于路边摊的英文，基本是和食物相关的，我在网络上找到这样一张图，不知道作者是谁，但我很感谢TA，这张图非常形象并且有些卖萌地把路边摊的英文直接图文并茂地画出来了。一起学习学习！

2.炸鸡块
Chicken nuggets.肯德基老爷爷的杀手级产品，最畅销的鸡肉形状！
3.鸡腿
Drumstick，在这个情境下不是鼓槌的意思，形象的表明鸡腿的形状。
4.冰棍儿
Popsicles，美语，就是插在一个小木条上的甜冰，一般和ice cream还是区分开。
5.瓶装水和汽水
Bottled water and soft drink，后者有时也说soda，pop或soda pop，汽水最大的特点是fizzy，有气泡，并带有嘶嘶的声音。
6.椒盐饼干
Pretzel，这是国外比较流行的一种饼干，cracker covered with salt。
7.蛋黄酱
Mayonnaise这个词图片里面没有，美国人有时直接简称为Mayo，在subway等一些快餐店里很流行，番茄酱(ketchup)和honey mustard(甜芥末)当然也很受欢迎。
每天早晨的地铁站边，很多上班族都会排队买早餐，下班后街边的路边摊也会生意火爆，卫生问题先放一边，路边摊确实超好吃！

各种head和brain 汉语中常用跟头和脑袋相关的词来表示智力和记忆力等，比如说没脑子、榆木脑袋等。英语中也有很多类似的表达，我们一起来看一下吧！
英语中称呼一个没脑子、浅薄无知的人为airhead，它的反义词是egghead，原意为“受过高等教育的人”，不过这个词往往用作贬义，表示“学究、书呆子”。另外一个说人愚蠢的词是bird brain（脑袋空空的蠢人），而一个总是糊里糊涂、心不在焉的人就叫scatterbrain（注意力不集中的人、糊涂虫），例如： Don't ask Philip to write the proposal.He's a birdbrain and nobody will accept it.别让菲利普写那个策划书，他是个笨蛋，你让他写大家都不会接受的。I can't believe you've lost your glasses again Lucy, you are such a scatterbrain.露西，我很难相信你又把眼镜丢了，你简直就是个糊涂虫。
有的人记性很不好，他们经常绞尽脑汁（rack their brains）也想不起来要做的事，我们就可以形容这些人have a brain like a sieve（健忘），例如： I have racked my brains but I still can't remember where I left my glasses.I must have a brain like a sieve!
我绞尽脑汁也想不起来我把眼镜放哪儿了，我的脑袋简直就是个粗筛子，什么都留不住。
有时候在听无聊的讲座或者不感兴趣的话题的时候，我们就会开小差，英语里面有个很形象的说法是have your head in the clouds，意为“心不在焉；走神”，例如：
I wish Julia would pay more attention to her teacher;her head is always in the clouds.Why can't she be more like her brother Ben? His head is screwed on right.我希望茱莉雅能认真地听老师说话，她总在走神，脑袋不知道在哪云游。她怎么就不能向她哥哥本看齐呢？他是个挺有头脑的孩子。
上面句子中的have one's head screwed on right意为“头脑清醒，明白事理”，如果说某人hasn't got his/her head screwed on right，那就表示这个人行为古怪或者甚至精神不稳定，这种状况也叫screw loose（脱线，精神不对头）。
生活口语：购物狂的必备英语
你是购物狂shopaholic吗？要当一个兢兢业业诚诚恳恳的购物狂，这些问题你必须知道：
1.购物狂最喜欢的两个日子是？
Black Friday(感恩节后第二天)和Boxing Day(圣诞后第二天)。为什么？这两天都是销售旺季啊！Black Friday标志着Christmas Shopping Season的开始： On this day, many retailers open very early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season.Black Friday is not actually a holiday, but many employers give their employees the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers。
这一天商店开门都会很早，凌晨四点就会开门，虽然不是法定节假日，但基本上这一天都会放假，无形中给了大家购物的机会。
Boxing Day中文里称之为节礼日，这一天商家都会打折，所以是购物的好日子： In Britain, Canada, New Zealand and some states of Australia, Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday, much like the day after Thanksgiving in the United States.It is a time where shops have sales, often with dramatic price decreases.For many merchants, Boxing Day has become the day of the year with the greatest revenue。
在英国、加拿大、新西兰和澳大利亚一些地区，节礼日的意义跟美国的Black Friday一样，是名副其实的购物日，这一天各处都有打折，商家在这一天的收益几乎是全年最多的。
2.购物之后，除了商品，还有什么不能忘记？
不要忘拿receipt(收据)，上面通常会印有Exchange and refund policy：90day exchange，30day refund with tags.90天之内可以更换商品，30天内可以退货(商品完好的状况下)3.除了节假日打折，还有哪些省钱妙招？
节假日之外我们还可以用到coupon，优惠券；一般商场里平时也会有降价出售以吸引人气的商品，这种称为loss leader。超市或者便利店里还有送积分的活动，这种叫做frequent shopper program，买的多，积分多，一般就会有折扣或者礼物。想当一个职业的购物狂嘛？买东西前真的要多做homework哦~
女生心口不一时常用语
1)Fine 算了
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up。女人通常喜欢用这个词来结束争吵，在她们心里自己是对的而你才应该闭上嘴。2)Five Minutes 5分钟就好
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house。如果她在换衣服打扮什么的，她说的5分钟事实上还要半个小时。而当她在打扫屋子你在看球赛的时候，她嘴里的5分钟那可就是精准的再给你五分钟了。3)Nothing没事
This is the calm before the storm.This means something, and you should be on your toes.Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine。这是暴风雨来临之前的预兆。她嘴上说没事其实却是有事的，你可得当心点了。一开始说“没事”的争吵往往最终以“算了”结束。4)Go Ahead想去就去呗
This is a dare, not permission.Don‟t Do It!这只是在警告你，而不是真的准你去。千万别当真。5)Loud Sigh长叹一口气
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men.A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing.(Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing。)虽然没具体说什么，但是这确实传达了她的心思，男人们却往往误读了这个信号。长叹一口气意味着她心里觉得你是个大白痴，不知道为什么自己还要在这里浪费时间跟你吵些鸡毛蒜皮的事。6)That‟s Okay没关系
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man.That‟s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake。这是女人对男人说的一句最危险的话。“没关系”就意味着她还需要点时间好好想想什么时候怎么样让你付出代价。7)Thanks谢谢
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint.Just say you‟re welcome.(I want to add in a clause here – This is true, unless she says „Thanks a lot‟ – that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all.DO NOT say „you‟re welcome‟.that will bring on a „whatever‟)。如果一个女人对你说谢谢，不要问为什么，也不要昏倒。你只需要对她说不用谢。(我很想在这里加一句--她如果只说谢谢，那么她是真心的，但她如果说非常感谢的时候，她只是想讽刺你罢了，根本没有一丝谢意。千万别回答不用谢，那只会换来一句“随便好了”。)8)Whatever随你便
Is a woman‟s way of saying F– YOU!这是女人在说“擦.。.” 9)Don‟t worry about it, I got it算了，还是我来吧
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself.This will later result in a man asking „What‟s wrong?‟ For the woman‟s response refer to #3.这是另一个非常危险的表达，意思是已经叫男人很多遍去把某事干了，但最后还的亲自动手。最后的结束通常是男的追问她“怎么了？”，要知道女人会怎么回答，请参照3)。
9句表达让对方“别闹了”
很多情况下，我们需要对人说“不”。当你需要安静，而别人在吵闹的时候；当你的恋人无理取闹的时候；当你的孩子不听话，调皮捣蛋的时候，你需要跟他们说：别闹了！

“给多少钱都不干”英文怎么说
如果有人跟你抱怨他的新老板脾气暴躁、动不动拿下属出气，还老让他们加班，你可以说：
Your new boss sounds terrible, I wouldn't work for him for all the tea in China!
你的新老板听起来真讨厌，无论给我多少钱，我都不会在他手下干的。Not for all the tea in China意思是说“无论对方给我多优厚的报酬或好处，我都不会做……”。这个习语出现于19世纪末期，当时中国是世界上最大的茶叶生产地，所以“all the tea in China”的确是一笔巨大的财富。英语中跟tea相关的习语还有很多，例如：
As useful as a chocolate teapot 中看不中用
This course is as good as a chocolate teapot, so I want to quit next semester.这门课毫无用处，下学期我想把它退掉。
A storm in a tea cup/a tempest in a teapot 小题大做
The whole affair is just a tempest in a teapot.In a couple of months everyone will have forgotten about it.整件事都不过是小题大做而已，过不了多久，人们就会彻底忘记这事的。not my cup of tea 不是我喜欢的 I realize a fantasy computer game is not everyone's cup of tea, but this one is amazing.我知道不是每个人都迷那些虚幻的电脑游戏，不过这个游戏真的很好玩。Tea and sympathy 对不幸者的安慰与同情
Sometimes people want practical advice and sometimes they just want tea and sympathy.有的时候人们想听些实际的建议，但有的时候他们只是寻求安慰而已。再来跟大家聊聊关于茶的一些小知识吧！茶是除水之外人们喝的最多的饮料。茶分为红茶（black tea）、绿茶（green tea）、白茶（white tea）、乌龙茶（Oolong）等，不过这些茶都是从野茶树（Camellia sinensis）上采摘下来的，它们之所以颜色和味道有别是因为加工的方法不同。
