  用英语描述性格的语句

  3.He's good-time charlie, feeling no worries and anxieties.

  他可是个乐天派,整天无忧无虑的。

  good-time charlie 汉语中“乐天派”可以用optimistic来表示,也可以用good-humored。但是上述表达法缺乏口语色彩,而用good-time Charlie比较合适。

  4.She's said to be a jinx.

  有人说她是扫帚星。

  jinx 通常指不吉利的人或物。其实“扫帚星”指的是“彗星”。在英语中没有对应的比喻义的翻译,不能译为“comet”,应该是jinx。

  例如:I've heard of her. She's said to be a jinx, who would bring bad luck to whoever she marries.

  我听说过她,有人说她是个扫帚星,谁跟她结婚都会倒霉。

  6. He's really a party animal.

  我很喜欢邀请那个派对狂来参加我们的派对。他能使整个气氛热烈起来。

  7.You're still wet behind the ears.

  你还嫩点儿。

  Wet behind the ears如果直译: 耳朵背后是潮的。它可能来自这样的说法: 小马、小牛刚生下来的时候全身湿漉漉的;别的地方很快会干,但是耳朵背后却还是湿的。所以说某人耳朵背后是潮的,是把这人比作刚生下不久的婴儿了。换句话说就是他简直像新生儿一般幼稚无知。

  如:He was too wet behind the ears to bear such responsibilities.

  他太年轻了,不能担此重任。

  8.That boy never says uncle.

  Dick是个败家子,总给家里招惹麻烦。

  口语:发脾气可以用“Blow”!

  表达:

  blow one’s cool:沉不住气,控制不住

  释义:

  习语中cool做名词用,有“冷静”和“镇定”等意思。Blow one’s cool常用来形容人“沉不住气”或“失去控制而激动起来”。

  范例:

  George blew his cool at theinsult.

  乔治面对侮辱再也沈不住气。

  In the boxing match, Tyson blew his cool andbitHollyfield's ear.

  参赛比赛中,泰森沉不住气了咬了霍利菲而德的耳朵。

  表达:

  blow afuse:勃然大怒

  释义:

  fuse的意思是“导火索”,blow有“爆炸”的意思,在口语中也有“发脾气,发怒”的意思。两者的结合使得该习语在“发怒”的基础上更加形象地表明了“发怒”的样子。

  范例:

  Therefereewas so unfair that they were about to blow afuse.

  裁判不公正,他们几乎气得发狂。

  She blows afuseevery time she gets mad.

  每次她一生气就勃然大怒。

  There's no need to blow afuseover such a little problem.

  为这么点小事没必要发脾气。

  实用口语:你知道这两个“head”吗?

  1.pighead 既愚蠢又倔强的人

  看到这个词,你一定很疑惑吧?英文里真的有这个词吗?是的,英文里就有这个词。我们在汉语中经常说某人是“猪脑子”,其实英文里也有这样的说法——pighead,就是指愚蠢而又倔强的人,很形象吧!而它的pigheaded就是指愚蠢而又倔强的。

  Don't bepigheaded, or your friends will hate you.

  不要做愚蠢而又倔强的人,否则你的朋友们都会恨你。

  John is really apigheadand he always persists own ideas which are always wrong.

  约翰确实是个猪脑子,他总是坚持自己错误的观点。

  2.egghead 知识分子,理论家

  你听过鸡蛋脑子吗?没有听过吧!但是在英文里却有这种说法——egghead,然而不是我们以为的不好的意思,而是指有知识的人,理论家,但是有时也包含着一些贬的意味。下面我们来看几个例句吧。

  Jack didn't make very good grades inschool, but his sister was a realegghead.

  杰克在学校里成绩平平,但他的姐姐很有学问。

  I have to tell you that since he went off toschool, Bill has turned into a realegghead.

  我得告诉你,比尔上了学后,他真的变成了一个书生气十足的人。

  实用口语:“我请客”在英语里还能怎么说?

  “我请客”在英语口语里能怎么说?

  除了It's my treat, 还有:

  标准口语:I'll pay the bill.

  地道口语应该是什么呢?来看一下例子:

  A: Here’s my money for the ice cream.

  B: No. It’s my treat.(My treat)

  It’s on me.

  I’ll buy you a lunch (a drink; a dinner). 我请客。

  treat可以作动词。

  I want to treat you.

  (我请你。)

  Let me foot the bill.

  (让我付帐。)

  看来这里的foot真是和“英尺”、“脚”没有任何关系了,在老外的口头语中,foot可以做动词,表示“支付帐单或费用”。

  口语:“失宠”你知道怎么说吗?

  表达:fall fromgrace:失宠

  解词释义:grace做名词时有“恩惠,善意”的意思。从字面上看,改习语的意思是“从宠幸中掉下来”,意即“失宠”。

  支持范例:

  Eg. And once having fallen fromgracehe found it hard to climb back into favor again.

  一旦失宠之后,他发现很难重新得宠

  Eg. The ministerfellfromgraceafter hiscarelessremarks, and was dismissed from the government.
