八卦新聞、小道消息總是一傳十,十傳百,最后成了盡人皆知的秘密。讓人腦洞大開的八卦是怎么傳開的?英文里的那些經(jīng)典開場(chǎng),今天就來(lái)看看吧!
1. Rumor has it that...
Rumor是“謠言”的意思,rumor has it that表示“人們都這樣說(shuō)”、“聽很多人說(shuō)”。That后面跟聽說(shuō)的內(nèi)容。雖然道聽途說(shuō)不一定是真的,但至少八卦終于開始了。例如:Rumor has it that he was murdered. (人們都傳他是被人謀殺的。)
2. A little bird told me that...
嘰嘰喳喳的小鳥最是八卦。如果你既想八卦一把,又不愿透露上一位八卦者的真實(shí)姓名,那就用a little bird來(lái)代替吧!A little bird told me 可以表示我也是聽說(shuō)的,具體是誰(shuí)不詳。 例如:A little bird told me that today is your birthday. (我聽說(shuō)今天是你生日。)
3. Have you heard the latest gossip?
“哎~ 最近有個(gè)八卦的事兒你聽說(shuō)了沒?” 這句話是很多八卦人士的經(jīng)典開場(chǎng),先吊吊你的胃口,接下來(lái)八卦話題立刻登場(chǎng)。例如: Have you heard the latest gossip? It turns out Sue is having an affair with Mike.(最近有個(gè)八卦話題你聽說(shuō)了沒?蘇和麥克在搞婚外情。)
4. You won't believe what she just told me.
“她剛才告訴我的話,說(shuō)了你都不敢信!” 八卦就是要有一個(gè)人說(shuō)給另一個(gè)人聽。這句話說(shuō)完,誰(shuí)都想知道剛才那人到底說(shuō)什么了?怎么我就不敢信了?后面的話就等著驚呆小伙伴吧!
5. Can I count on you?
如果有人悄悄地找到你,問(wèn)能否信得過(guò)你,他一定有要事相商,或者是想告訴你一個(gè)驚天秘密!換句話,他還可以說(shuō):Could you keep a secret? (你能保密嗎?)如果想跟他八卦下去,你可以說(shuō):I won’t tell a soul. (我誰(shuí)都不會(huì)說(shuō)。);I'll take it to my grave.(我到死也不會(huì)說(shuō)的。)
