“你手機(jī)在振”英文怎么說(shuō)？千萬(wàn)別說(shuō)"your phone is shaking"！

要把手機(jī)調(diào)到振動(dòng)模式或者靜音模式

這個(gè)振動(dòng)模式可不能說(shuō)成shake mode

你可能會(huì)被老外想象成拿著手機(jī)搖一搖的樣子

我們可以把手機(jī)語(yǔ)言設(shè)置成英語(yǔ)

看一下手機(jī)是怎么翻譯這個(gè)詞的

vibrate

/va??bre?t/

a setting on an electronic device that causes it to vibrate when something happens, such as receiving a new message

(電子裝置的設(shè)置)振動(dòng)

例：

The show's about to start - I'm going to put my phone on vibrate.

演出快開始了——我會(huì)把手機(jī)設(shè)置到振動(dòng)。

另外

手機(jī)振動(dòng)時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)出嗡嗡的聲音

這個(gè)擬聲詞我們使用的是

buzz

? A buzz is a vibrating sound, like the sound a bee makes.

嗡嗡聲是一種振動(dòng)的聲音，就像蜜蜂發(fā)出的聲音一樣。

例：

My phone is buzzing, can you answer it for me? My hands are all wet.

我的手機(jī)響了，你能幫我接聽一下嗎？我的手全是濕的。

shake

/?e?k/

to move backwards and forwards or up and down in quick, short movements, or to make something or someone do this

以快速、短促的動(dòng)作前后移動(dòng)或上下移動(dòng)，或使某物或某人這樣做（搖動(dòng)；抖動(dòng)；使顫動(dòng)）

例：

A young boy climbed into the apple tree and shook the branches so that the fruit fell down.

一個(gè)男孩爬上蘋果樹，用力搖著枝條好讓蘋果掉下來(lái)。

Babies like toys that make a noise when they're shaken.

嬰兒喜歡搖晃時(shí)能發(fā)出聲響的玩具。

區(qū)別

Shake: Used when someone/something is shaking someone/something.

某人或某物去搖晃某人或某物

Vibrate: Used when something is shaking by itself.

某物自己振動(dòng)

也就是說(shuō)當(dāng)這個(gè)振動(dòng)是自主發(fā)生時(shí)，就用vibrate，當(dāng)有外力作用發(fā)生前后或上下移動(dòng)時(shí)，用shake

另外還有一個(gè)詞quake，當(dāng)單指震動(dòng)時(shí)，通常是說(shuō)earthquake（地震）。

今天的內(nèi)容都學(xué)會(huì)了么？
