Kate Johnson教授生活方式的英语专栏
英语让夜生活更精彩
是周末了,还该是好好享受一下的时间了!有这么多的娱乐选择,该学几种你可以使用的娱乐表达方式了。
Dressed to the nines
任何重要的夜晚外出活动都以家里满满的衣柜,镜子和一些想象开始!当你dressed to the
nines时意思是你正穿着非常时髦的服装。例如,你可能说,"If we're going to the cocktail party we'd better get dressed to
the nines!"
Grab a bite to eat
你可能想要以饭店或咖啡点一顿快速的晚餐开始一晚的活动,我们把这就叫做grabbing a bite to
eat。例如,你的朋友可能问你,"Do you want to grab a
bite to eat before we go out?"
Go and catch a flick
夜晚的开始是去当地电影院看部最新大片的最佳时间。非正式的来说,我们说going to catch a flick当我们要去看电影时。例如,你的朋友可能说,"Let's go and catch
a flick at the cinema tonight!"
Paint the town red
到了现在这个地步,想来每个人应该都应该准备好放松并享受一下了!这就是我们称做的 painting the town red,和朋友一起享受美妙的晚上的活动!因此,当朋友问你"Do you want
to go and paint the town red?"他们才不是让你带油漆和刷子呢!
Go bar-hopping
作为你重大的夜晚活动可能会包括去好几个酒吧放松的喝酒并和朋友见面。bar-hopping我们的意思是每个酒吧你去一会儿,并且然后hop,或是继续去其他的,更多的酒吧。
Shoot some pool
当bar-hopping时你可能会看到一个桌球台并想要快速的来上一两盘。别担心,这并不象听起来这么危险- shooting some pool只是意味着打桌球!
Dance the night away
在 Hearing lots of music while bar-hopping时听到了很多的音乐自然而然让每个人都有跳舞的冲动!Dancing the night away意思是连跳几个小时的舞直到第二天的早上。因此第二天当某人问你为什么这么累时,你就可以告诉他们,
"Because last night I danced the night away!"

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
