10个地道短句,教你用英语表达评价

  1.This sort of music is quite to my taste.

  这种音乐很符合我的口味。

  汉语合口味与英语的to one's taste几乎形似意合。此语一般作表语。

  如:Try this song. It's beautiful. This sort of music is quite to my taste.

  听听看这首歌。很好听。这种音乐很符合我的口味。

  2.He's for the birds.

  他特别无聊。

  无聊可以用短语be for the birds来表达。此语常用作表语,意指毫无意义以及荒唐可笑无聊

  如:I can't understand why you should like to talk with Jack.He's for the birds.

  我不明白你怎么愿意跟杰克说话还。他特别无聊。

3.His handwriting is plain one for the books.

  他的字写得漂亮极了。

  汉语中棒极了漂亮极了以及糟糕透了丑极了之类表示到了极点的语气均可用短语one for the books来表达。其字面意思是可以写进书里面去,相当于汉语口语中创纪录了的含义。

  如:Yeah, but he wrote me a letter. His handwriting is plain one for the books.

  但是他写了封信给我,他的字写得漂亮极了。

4.Nothing to it.

  容易极了!

  Nothing to it一般用于回答你干得了吗?”你行吗?”等问题。

  如:Nothing to it, of course.

当然,容易极了。

5.Nothing doing!

那可不行!

在拒绝别人的提议的时候我们常会说那可不行,在英语中近似的说法就是Nothing doing!

如:Going out in office hour? Nothing doing!

上班时间外出?那可不行!

6.I won't put anything past him.

我饶不了他。

值得注意的是,当表示饶了某人的时候,一般应该用let somebody go的形式,而不能用put something past somebody

如:I'm just checking. If he has really done, I won't put anything past him.

我正在查。如果他真这么做了,我饶不了他。

 7.She is really a pill, spending whole day harping and complaining.

她真烦人,整天唠唠叨叨的。

pill本意是指药丸,在此喻指讨厌的家伙,因此也就有了烦人之义。

如:I can't stand Jane anymore!She is really a pill, spending whole day harping and complaining.

我受不了珍了!她真烦人,整天唠唠叨叨的。

 

8.I know you were only playing possum.

我知道你只是在装傻。

此语中的possum负鼠,据说这种动物在遇到危险时会装死,play possum 就是像负鼠那样装死,与汉语的装傻可谓形合意切。

如:I know you were only playing possum. After all, it's unwise to anger the moniter. You've done right.

我知道你只是在装傻。不管怎么说,得罪班长也很不明智。你做的对。

10. But none of you dare to face the music.

但是你们谁都不敢承担后果。

此语中的music意指法律制裁惩处face面对,因此此语的字面意思是面对法律制裁,也就相当于承担后果

如:

ABut it was not us who made you hold the bag.

但是不是我们让你背黑锅的啊。

BBut none of you dare to face the music.

但是你们谁都不敢承担后果啊。
