不瞎掰流行語: EZ Talk總編嚴選特刊 (附MP3)

內容簡介

內容簡介 ◎上英文補習班、訂英文雜誌、請英文家教，都學不到的最新英文說法大集合！◎補充學習形式多元，從字彙、例句、片語，到完整會話，英文實力從讀到說全面提升。「眼睛業障重」「藍瘦香菇」「美魔女」該如何用英文表達？say 不是「說」嗎？hold 不能表示「掌握」嗎？讓英文消息靈通的 little bird 給你解答Pokémon Go(寶可夢)、VR headset（虛擬實境頭戴裝置）用最新話題，擴大你的英文領域！●特色一：最新流行語，現學現用！「剁手族」「眼睛業障重」「藍瘦香菇」⋯⋯這些流行語，該怎麼用英文表達呢？不要再瞎掰硬翻了，只要換個英文腦袋，用英文的邏輯來思考，就能找到合宜的對應說法。在「不瞎掰流行用語中翻英」單元中，將指引你如何以老外的邏輯思路來精準表示時下最夯的潮語。例1：手滑 impulse purchase「手滑」專指透過手機或電腦上網購物，手指把持不住就把購買鍵按下去的行為，大多是指買了不該買的東西，英文會用「衝動購買」impulse purchase buy 來描述這種亂買的行為，並不特定是在店面或網路上購物。相關的字彙還有「衝動購物者」compulsive shopper、「衝動購物失調症」compulsive buying disorder，以及「購物成癮」shopping addiction 。例2：花錢買爽 retail therapyretail therapy 字面上的意思是「零售治療」，是以戲謔的方式表示透過購物來舒緩壓力，也就是我們說的「花錢買爽」囉。類似的說法還有 comfort buy purchase（買來讓自己心情變好的東西）。●特色二：望文不生義的道地美式口說句，解說到讓你恍然大悟！我們常看到（或聽到）超簡單，意思卻令人不解的英文句子，心裡總是嘀咕著「這句英文是什麼意思？」，不然就是存有「這個字究竟要怎麼用才對？」的疑問。在英文中有太多從字面上看不出意思的說法，以及一字多義的情況，想要融會理解，就需要英文靈通人士來解說與示範用法。「望文不生義的英文秘密情報」單元將以Q & A的形式，逐一解釋這些讓人似懂非懂的口說句。例：a little bird told me 字面上是「一隻小鳥告訴我的」，到底是什麼意思呢？其實，這句話表示「據消息靈通人士稱」或「有人私下告訴我」，a little bird 因此成為「秘密消息來源」的代名詞。●特色三：大家來找碴，糾出錯誤不再犯，英文進步不是夢！不管是拼字錯、發音錯，還是文法錯，滿街都能看到錯誤的英文告示。有能力揪出英文破綻，才可能避免再犯錯，增進英文能力。「這句英文錯在哪？」單元特別設計以會話形式呈現，讓你在英文通行的世界裡，學著問清楚、講明白，跟只會講、不會教的英文母語人士討教英文到底錯在哪，要怎麼說才對。例：Fresh Crap, $8.99 a pound.Jacob: That reminds me of a sign I saw in San Francisco’s Chinatown.傑可：那讓我想起以前在舊金山看到的一個招牌。Winnie: What did it say?溫妮：那個招牌寫什麼？Jacob: It was hilarious. It said “Special! Fresh Crap, $8.99 a pound.”傑可：很爆笑，上面寫著 Special! Fresh Crap, $8.99 a pound（特價！新鮮大便，每磅 8.99 美元）Winnie: You mean C-R-A-P—that kind of crap?溫妮：你是說，C-R-A-P 那個大便？Jacob: Yes. Why buy it for $8.99 a pound when you can get it for free? Ha-ha.傑可：對，幹嘛要花 8.99 美元買一磅根本免費的東西？哈哈！Winnie: That is pretty funny. It was probably supposed to be “crab.” To Chinese speakers, “p” and “b” sound pretty similar. 溫妮：真好笑，可能原本要寫 crab（螃蟹）吧。對說中文的人來說，p 和 b 聽起來差不多。
