妙语佳句,活学活用
电影Juno是一部描写现代高中生生活的电影,它所用的语言也是现今流行在青年人中的。我们选去电影中的几个片段来了解一下英语的最新流行语。
1. Yo-yo-yiggity-yo.
这通常是人们高兴的时候弄出来的声响。Yo 通常表示“hello”等表示问候的意思。
2. I'm a suicide risk
我有自杀的危险。
3. No, it's Morgan Freeman, do you have any bones that need collecting?
Leah 问电话那头是不是Juno,Juno回答“不,是Morgan Freeman”。“Do you have any bones that need collecting”是指电影The Bone Collector,但实际上,出演这部电影的黑人演员是Denzel Washington, 而不是Morgan Freeman,这个错误不知是否是编剧有意为之。Juno 这里是说“不,是Morgan Freeman。(他的名言)你要不要捡骨头(收尸)?”
4. Only the one in my pants.
Bone 在俚语中可指penis。这里是Leah 开的一个玩笑。
5. honest to blog
这也是现在这个时代才会有的流行语。这个片语本来应该是“honest to God”,如果我说了什么话你不相信我,你问到底是不是真的,我就说“Yes I am telling the truth, honest to God.”,因为人们对上帝都一定要说真话的。但是现在时代大多数人都有了blog,人们在blog里写的通常都是真话(或者我们不知道真假,但通常都假定是真的),所以honest to blog 在这里就是可以理解为“真的吗/你说的是真话吗/你发誓是真的”?
6. food baby
大家都知道吃多了肚子就会鼓起来,好像怀孕一样。Food baby 就是指这种情况。
7. fo shiz / fo shizzle
意思是“for sure”,表示一种确定、肯定和强烈的感情。
8. up the spout
这里的意思是“怀孕”,spout 本意是指“排水/派出液体的口”,这个俚语为何作“怀孕”解,是因为孕妇处境困难还是暗喻精子的传送,却没有人可以断言了。
9. for real
这里的意思是“actually so, genuine真的”,例如:Are your plans to move away for real? 你要搬走是真的吗?
10. Phuket Thailand
这是一个借助谐音的玩笑,fuck 和 Phuket 发音相近,而年轻的女孩不会像男孩那样讲粗口,所以就用了Phuket,Thailand 纯粹是玩笑,因为 Phuket 岛在泰国。
11. on the first take
指“第一次做某事”,例如:I jumped the hurdle in the first take. 我第一次就跳过了跨栏。
这里Juno是说她第一次make love 就怀孕了。
