练就一口伦敦音

考虑到伦敦旅行?小心。那儿有很多的英语只是在伦敦才有并且你可能从未听到过。用以下最常见的伦敦方言为你的旅行作好准备!

Blimey!这是人们在表示惊讶时常用的表达方式。例如, "Blimey! The weather's terrible today!"

Keep your hair on.你的头发并不是要网哪个方向。 这个表达方式其实是表示保持平静,"Keep your hair on. It's an easy problem to fix."

Pear-shaped.这常用来表示出了问题的情况。例如,"I started my new job the other day and I was so nervous, it all went pear-shaped."

Have it large.在你计划外出并玩个痛快的时候你会这样说。 例如, "It's Saturday! We're gonna have it large tonight!" 你还可以说larging it

Bob's your uncle. 如果有人这么对你说,这并不代表着你有一个很久没有联系的叔叔在伦敦。伦敦人使用这个表达方式表明某事已经完成或者某事没有任何的问题。例如,"You just plug it in, turn on the power, and Bob's your uncle!"

Dog's dinner.当人们说某事象狗食,他们其实在说这事一团糟。例如,"Your hair looks like a dog's dinner,"意思是你的头发有一点乱,而不是他们的狗想要吃!

All over the shop.这个表达方式和购物没有任何的关系。这表示某人完全没有条理性。 如果有人告诉你,"you're all over the shop,"你应该停一停仔细想一想了。伦敦人还说,all over the gaff

Smashing.不,这不是把东西摔坏!这其实是用来描述某事物非常的好。例如, "Last night's party was smashing!"

Hank Marvin. 如果有人说,"I'm Hank Marvin!"这不是他或她的名字。这只是代表这个人非常的饿。例如,"What do you want to eat for dinner? I'm Hank Marvin!"这是伦敦押韵的俚语的一个例句。-Hank Marvinstarvin'押韵,意思是饥饿。

Let's have a bubble bath.别担心,伦敦人并不是让你和他们一起洗泡泡浴。 bubble bath 其实意思是a laugh。他们只是要你和他们一起欢笑。

    Q:Dear Kate,

    My friend and I are going to visit New York at the same time but we are staying at different hotels. I am supposed to call her hotel when I arrive, but I not sure what to say. When I call, is it better to say "Is Yoko Takahashi there" (my friend name) or "I want to speak to room 525?"

    Mayu, Tokyo, Japan


    A:Dear Mayu,


    If you know your friends room number, then it's best to say "Can you connect me to room #525, please?" The hotel representative will most likely ask you for the guest's name to confirm that you know her.

    Best, Kate

    Q:Dear Kate,

    There is a foreign girl I am liking very much but I do not know what to say to her to make her like me too. Can you please help me, Kate!

    Wong, China


    A:Dear Wong,


    hat's lovely that you've found a girl that you like. You don't want to scare her away, so make sure that you don't show all of you feelings until you know she feels the same way about you. Why don't you start by asking her to a low-commitment activity such as getting a cup of coffee or a drink? The next time you see her, try saying something like "Would you like to grab a cup of coffee" or "How about a drink tonight?" Based on her response, you will know if she is interested in you at all or not.

    Best, Kate
