原标题:风趣的英语冷常识(60) 随意是whatever?这是歪果仁最厌烦的单词!

?嬉狻钡挠⒂锉泶铮爬敌矶嗳说谝环从褪莣hatever,但它却不是一个地道和适合的回答,歪果仁可以会觉得对方的情绪不认为然,冷酷,不礼貌,甚至粗鲁。它早年接连十几年被评为美国人最厌烦的英语单词。
几个有用栗子:
whatever 在Urban dictionary(《美国俚语词典》)上最多见的三种说明及使用:
1.Indifference to what a person is saying: Who cares!; Get a life!
(whatever 表达一种对别人言语的冷酷,恰当于who cares! 谁
在乎,或许是Get a life!管好你自个、别来烦我!)
词典例句很有味道:
Sam: I am the best in Math because I keep getting straight A s!
Greg: Whatever!
Sam:我的数学最牛,因为我老是拿 A。
Greg:随意。
(其实译为“滚!”更适合,带有显着的不耐心)
2.Used in an argument to admit that you are wrong without admitting it so the argument is over.( whatever用于争论中觉得辩不过别人又不想认输的时分来结束争论)。
类似于:好好好,随意吧。
—Pikachu is the most handsome one in our class。
—Whatever!
—Pikachu是咱们班上最帅的男生。
—随意你怎么说!
3.“I don’t give a shit”,and“Fuck you”,especially when sent a text message or “That’s bull”.
词典例句过于有味道:
Jimmy to Carol via text : “Hey,Did you hear a.b the gig my band is playing this Friday?”
Carol: “Whatever.”
上面的说明和例句过于负能量,就不翻译了,我们可以自行查找。总之,whatever可以用于不必思考对方感触的场合的回答。
其他一般用法不逐个罗列了。
