一位英语爱好者的自我提升,有趣有料(二)

啦啦啦,今天周六,可以出去浪或在家宅,吃好吃的了,当然写完这篇之后才能。Here we go !

terror 知道,谈不上熟悉.名词,恐怖,恐怖活动,引起恐怖的人(事),讨厌的人

in terror (of)

Shots rang out,and I screamed in terror.

刚犯了一个错误,我以为terror的动词是terrorify ,哪儿冒出来的想法啊!错了噢,正确的是terrify 这个单词,这个单词是vt使害怕,使恐怖,恐吓

terror变动词,名正言顺的该是terrorize吧

terrorize 使…恐惧,恐吓,威胁(意思跟terrify一样,也可以写为terrorise)常见句型如下:

be terrorized into doing sth (这个是一个被动,主动形式terrorize sb into doing sth 想也是可以的)

Many peope have been terrorized into leaving. 很多人都被迫离开了。

roastv 烤,烘焙 n 烤肉 adj烤好的,烤制的 作为动词 还有一个意思,嘲讽 目前我还没见过他的用法,有次听老师讲roast sb 有吐槽某人的意思,我字典上没查到,不知道是不是听错了,有待考证,如果某人恰好知道可以告诉我。

跟吃的关系还是要大点儿,记住常见的几个名称

roast duck 烤鸭 (北京烤鸭 Peking duck )

roast pork 烤猪肉,叉烧(重点当然是看叉烧竟然说roast pork 就可以了,叉烧的另一个说法char siu)

roast meat shop 烤肉店

roast suckling pig 烤乳猪(suckling来自suckle v 给...哺乳, 吮吸,养育,吃奶)

想吃烤肉了!先看看。这是不是羊肉串儿

再来补一个roast 的用法,roast snow in a furnace 意思:做无果的可笑的事情(To attempt a futile, often ridiculous task)

You're so tiny that there's no way you can carry that armchair upstairs all

by yourself—you might as well roast snow in a furnace!

have a familiar ring之前听到过的(if sth has a familiar ring, you feel that you have heard it before)

His voice had a strangely familiar ring

have a/the ring of truth/sth

(if a statement or argument has a ring of truth/confidence etc,it seems as if it has this quality)

His explanation has the ring of truth.他的解释似乎是真的(这个短语我见得少,用着不踏实,下次遇到一定再记录一次)

be finished 完蛋了(口语里面)

You are pretty much finished for the rest of the school year

再稍稍扩展一下,have/be finished with sb/sth

使用结束,不再需要用某物 /结束与某人的谈话(尤其指想惩罚或是生某人气的时候)

Have you finished with the scissors?

Don't go. I haven't finished with you yet.

'when I am finished wiht you', he said,'you'll be lucky if you're still alive.'(隐约感觉到一股杀气啊)

contest 的发音,名词(竞争,争论,争夺)时重音在第一个

/?kɑ?ntest/,动词(争辩,提出质疑,竞争)重音在第二个,且o的发音也变了/k?n?test/.对,英语就是这么讨厌!灵活多变)

blurb /bl??rb/ 简介,推荐广告(a short description giving information about a book,new product etc)

The blurb for her latest book describes her as ‘one of Britain’s best-loved art critics’.

cook sth up (非正式)

编造(借口,原因,计划等)

cook up a story 编造故事

cook the books 造假(to dishonestly change official records and figures in order to steal money or give people false information)

The government was cooking the books and misleading the public.

cook the book 造假账 cook account 虚报账目

stress sb out(非正式)让某人担心,紧张

Studying for exams always stresses me out.

give the floor to sb给予某人发言权(这个短语文章中看到过的)

类似的一个用法,have the floor( 通常指重要场合)发言,拥有发言权

He stepped aside to allow other speakers to have the floor.

顺便查到give a stretch 伸懒腰

clear the fence 越过栅栏(不触碰)

clear your throat清嗓子(恰好今天看到)

in the clear 清白的(not guilty of sth)

stay/keep/steer clear (of sb/sth)clear 在这里是一个副词,这个短语指避开,绕过某人某物以免遇到危险或麻烦

If you are a beginner, stay clear of the tough part.

下面这个单词才给力噢,

window 不是窗子,第一次见,还挺好用

window 空当,空隙

She often eats all of her daily calories(about 2000)in a six-hour window starting in the afternoon.

从下午开始的6个小时中,她摄入了一日所需的所有热量。(约2000大卡)

Make a window on the note book for later use.

in a narrow window 一小段时间

We will finish the task in a narrow window.

更为常见的词组是

a narrow window of opportunity 稍纵即逝的机会,一线机会

Delay might open a window of opportunity for their rivals.

拖延或许会给对手一线机会。

顺便查到 out of window 完全消失,不再有效用 欲望都市第一集里面看到过,当时觉得奇怪,现在查到了觉得原来如此。(电视里面是几个女演员讨论爱情相关的东西,其中两个觉得爱情不可靠等等,另一持不同观点的女演员说当对的人出现时,不相信爱情的那两位说的情况都out of window,她们两个不会像说的一样不相信爱情,大概是这样)

fasting n,adj 禁食,禁食的 (看吧,假如还想着快,是快的ing 那么会整个人不好的,意思已经完全跟我们熟悉的fast 快,没什么关系了)

但是fasting 跟fast 还是有关系,因为fast 除常见意思快速的(地)之外,还有 v,n,意为禁食,斋戒,绝食

注意fast 美式和英式发音的区别

英式/fɑ?st/ 美式f?st/

Intermittent fasting is gaining more attention and scientific endorsement

间接性断食正日益获得人们的关注和科学认证

entail 使…必要,需要

This job entails a lot of hard work.

这项工作需要十分努力。

entail doing sth

The journey will entail changing trains twice.这趟旅行需要换乘两次火车。

proponent/pr??p??n?nt/支持者,拥护者 opponent

/??p??n?nt/对手

energize 给…能量(名词energy比较熟悉)

energize investment and trade to drive growth 重振投资和贸易的引擎作用

People were energized by his idea.人们受到了他的想法的激励

vocational education职业教育,可我翻译成假期教育,然后读不通文章了,假期人家是vacation 。也是无语啦,提出来,以后别犯这个错误。

sth is a bad call 在这里,call 是决定的意思,除了常见用法人家就还是有这样的意思,记住就好。

who makes the call? 谁做的决定?

put two and two together 根据事实(你听到的看到的)推理

I saw him leaving her house and I put two and two together.

hook sb up with sth 帮助某人得到想要的东西=fix up with

Do you think you can hook me up with some tickets for tonight?

hook up with sb 与某人交往=meet up with

Did you ever hook up with Maisy while you were here?

hook sb up with sb 介绍某人和某人约会

Have you had any friend that you can hook me up with?

你有朋友介绍给我约会的吗?

差个发音队,今天把meant 发成闷特都很中式,请改,看着音标读

work up 激发,引起,逐渐造成

work sb up 让某人生气,除此还有几个用法也挺好

work up enthusiasm/interest/courage etc激发,引起热情/兴趣/勇气等

I am trying to work up enough courage to go to the dentist.我努力攒足勇气去看牙医。

work up an appetite /a thirst/a sweat

You can work up a really big thirst playing tennis.

work up to doing sth,逐渐做好做某事的准备(通常是有难度的,需要勇气的事)

今天遇到的单词,第一次见

他在等退票或余票,一旦有票便乘分机到纽约。

Two divers work together while a standby diver remains on the surface.

两名潜水员协同工作,同时一名候补潜水员留在水面。

一个谚语“ 孤举者难起,众行者易趋”,嗯中文也是第一次见。来看一下英语版“The going is difficult

when doing it alone,the going becomes easier when doing it with many others '(在说明团队力量重要性的场合用,哇太高大上了)

utopia /ju??t??pi?/乌托邦(理想中最美好的世界),理想国

utopian 理想的,空想的,乌托邦的 n 空想家
