第十詞:Afford
意思是買的起,付得起、花得起時(shí)間、金錢、精力等。
但是Afford只能表示能力,不表示意愿。例如我們可以說(shuō)I'm willing to pay, but I really can't afford it.
1、這頂帽子貴得也太離譜了,我買不起。
Chinglish:This hat is extremely expensive, I can't buy it.
Revision:This hat is so expensive that I can't afford it.
2、這個(gè)村子里好多兒童都上不起學(xué)。
Chinglish:Lots of kids can't go to school because they're poor. (意思表達(dá)出來(lái)了但是不精練)
Revision:Plenty of kids in this village can't afford to go to school (can't afford education).
3、抱歉,我跟你玩不起。
Chinglish:Sorry, I can't play with you.
Revision:I can't afford to play 'games' with you, sorry.
第十一詞:Frustrated
表示心情沮喪、灰心喪氣時(shí),老外偏愛(ài)frustrated這一詞。我們喜歡是sad, lose one's heart等表達(dá)法。
沒(méi)說(shuō)過(guò)frustrated一詞三次以上的,那么英語(yǔ)還不算入門(別罵我啊,我只可是考慮再三才說(shuō)滴,沒(méi)說(shuō)過(guò)的話,現(xiàn)在說(shuō)也來(lái)得及)。
用法特別簡(jiǎn)單。當(dāng)你覺(jué)得灰心喪氣時(shí),forget about "sad", use this word instead.
1、沒(méi)有一個(gè)女孩子給我寫過(guò)信,我真是沮喪極了。
I'm so frustrated that no girls wrote to me.
2、公司業(yè)績(jī)總是不好,總經(jīng)理真是心灰意懶。
Chinglish:The total manager is very sad because the achievement is not good.
Revision:The general manager is so frustrated for the poor performance of his company.
If, if lots of people come and shout to me: "Coolmax, your English is so poor and limited!" I'll be extremely frustrated.
再說(shuō)一遍,以后要常說(shuō) frustrated 哦!說(shuō)多了,你就有老外的感覺(jué)了。
