Saying that you are dissatisfied with something表示對(duì)某事不滿意
1.I'm so pissed off with his attitude. 我對(duì)他的態(tài)度感到非常反感.
Piss原意是上小號(hào)的意思,但是現(xiàn)在幾乎沒(méi)有人會(huì)用piss來(lái)代表上小號(hào)的意思了,反而是常用在pissed-off這個(gè)片語(yǔ)上,指的是反感,厭惡的意思.例如老美會(huì)說(shuō)He pissed me off.就是說(shuō)他把我給惹毛了.補(bǔ)充一點(diǎn)就是上小號(hào)可以有很多講法,例如pee, take a piss, take a slash, relieve myself, take a number one,等等.
2.That movie was a turn-off. 那部電影真是讓我倒盡胃口.
Turn-off就是讓你倒胃口的東西,而turn-on則是你非常喜歡的東西.例如你說(shuō)She is a turn-off.就表示說(shuō)你對(duì)她是一點(diǎn)興趣都沒(méi)有. 要是She is a turn-on,那就表示你對(duì)她蠻有興趣的. 此外, turn-on跟turn-off也可以當(dāng)成一種個(gè)人喜好上的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),比如說(shuō)徵友吧,你說(shuō),我不想要低于160 cm的,則低于160就是你的turn-off,也等于What's not.如果說(shuō)我喜歡住在美國(guó)的,那"住在美國(guó)"就是你的turn-on.另也有人說(shuō)把turn-on說(shuō)成What'shot.把turn off說(shuō)成What's not.大家可以看情況自行運(yùn)用.Turn on當(dāng)成動(dòng)詞的時(shí)候也非常普遍,例如你可以說(shuō), The movie totally turns me on或是she turns me on.
3.You are mean. 你很壞.
Mean這個(gè)字當(dāng)形容詞可以有二種解釋,一種是指別人很壞,這種壞并不是說(shuō)是壞人的壞,而是像有時(shí)候男生喜歡耍貧嘴,虧女孩子,這種行為你就可以說(shuō)他, You are so mean.
另外一種mean則是解釋成"賤".就是指它的行為很讓人瞧不起,比如說(shuō)吧!有一只貓,你拿東西給它吃,它就過(guò)來(lái)跟你親熱,你沒(méi)東西給它吃它就躲的遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的,這樣的行為你就可以用mean來(lái)形容.你可以說(shuō)The cat is so mean.
有時(shí)候mean在口語(yǔ)中也可以當(dāng)成cool的意思喔!例如別人看到一輛很拉風(fēng)的跑車(chē),他說(shuō), "Wow, look at thatcar, that is mean!"在這里不可能說(shuō)一部車(chē)很賤,以這個(gè)mean就是當(dāng)成cool來(lái)解釋.
最后介紹幾種表示對(duì)某事不滿意抱怨的句子:
1. that won’t do.這可不行.
2. is that it?就這個(gè)嗎?
3. is that all?就這些嗎?
4. i’m afraid it just isn’t good enough.恐怕這不夠好.
5. that’s not what i had in mind.我想要的可不是這個(gè).
6. it’s not what i hoped for.我期待的可不是這樣的.
7. that leaves a lot to be desired.太不讓人滿意了.
8. that doesn’t quite suit me.我對(duì)次不甚滿意.
9. i was hoping for more.我原以為會(huì)比這要好.
10. i was counting on more.我期待著會(huì)比這要多
11. i expected something better.我所期望的比這要好.
12. it’s a far cry from what i expected.這離我想要的差遠(yuǎn)了.
