期末考的怎么样呀?
How did the final exams go?
终极回答:
不怎么样,跟往常一样烂。老师已经狠狠的数落了我一通,我被关在家里大概永远都不能出门浪了,就算偷看一眼手机也会被罚挨饿。
Nowhere, sucked as I always do. And my teacher threw the book at me, I’ve been grounded forever at home, even just a glimpse of my phone would take my dinner away.
所以简言之,期末考毁掉了我的一切,我这次是真的怕了,我下次再也不敢浪了。
So yes, basically, the exams ruined my life, now I know better so next time I will do better.
学英语:
1. going nowhere的意思除了字面上的哪也不去,更深一层的意思是没有进展,没有前途,失败透了,跟going places(大获成功)刚好相反。
2. throw the book at sb的意思往往不是字面上的把书扔向某人,而是厉声斥责,严肃处理,严惩的意思
3. know better的意思是更加懂事,相较之下或在某一方面更明白事理

英语四/六级过了没呀?
Have you passed the CET 4/6 yet?
终极回答:
呵呵,没有,我可还没考过四六级呢。我知道我最好快点考下来,否则我可能毕业都找不到工作了。诶,话说回来可真好笑,我找不到工作的原因大概数到明天也数不完吧,谁还在乎四六级过不过呢?
No, no I haven’t. And I know I better get that done, or I might not get a job after I graduate from college. But who am I kidding? I probably won’t get a job out of a million reasons, who cares about this one?
学英语:
1. who am I kidding的功能类似于说frankly speaking,也就是“跟你实话实说吧、说实在的吧”,不过更口语化一些。
2. out of的用法很灵活,在这里说out of xxx reason的意思就是出于xxx原因。
3
你现在工资挣的多不多呀,每月多少?
How’s your salary? Do they pay you well?
终极回答:
工资多不多这个还真不太好说,但我想我这个水平的工资,大概没有少到让我填不饱肚子,但也没有多到可以随便撕钱玩,找乐子。
It’s hard to say, but I think it’s something between kept me from starving, and also from tossing dollar bills just for fun.
4
有对象了嘛?
Are you dating anyone right now?
终极回答:
我倒希望没有,不过说实话,现在大概有5个人在追我呢,我正在一个个试试看。哦别担心,他们都知道竞争很激烈,但我可能就是太受欢迎了吧。
I wish I’m not, but seriously there’s like 5 guys/girls asking me out at the same time, so I’m kinda dating 5 people. Oh don’t worry, they know about each other, but I’m just that popular.
学英语:
说起dating,追求某人的说法还真是有不少。
比如chase after someone,最直白的“追”;
或者ask someone out,“约”(别污,还有比较害羞,又有点小暧昧的text each other,互发消息,聊天~

转移话题
永远不老套

你这岁数也差不多该结婚了吧?
It’s time to get your marriage plan on.
终极回答:
您说的还真对,不过一提到结婚,我就想起来那个家庭电视剧来了,您看过吗?实在是太好看啦,我跟您说这剧啊blahblahblah……
That’s so true, but speaking of that, have you seen that family TV show? It’s just so great! Let me tell you all about it.
6
是不是该要孩子啦?
Any plan about kids?
终极回答:
我们正在打算着呢,每次我在商场里看到小孩儿衣服,我的心都扑通扑通的,实在是太可爱啦!说到商场,你知道那个商场正在大促销吗,简直就是白送呀…
We are working on it, every time I see the baby clothes in the mall, my heart breaks a little bit. They are just so darn adorable! Speaking of which, do you know there’s a big sale in that mall, they’re literally giving things away…
学英语:
1. working on something的意思是正在做,正在忙某事,也可以说on it
2. 每次撸萌猫视频,我都被萌的心都要跳出来啦,这种时候就可以说my heart breaks a little
3. darn可以说是净化版的damn,一般在不该爆粗口,但又忍不住感叹的场合,就可以用darn来代替damn呀

实在没招
就装傻吧

减肥减的咋样啦?
How’s the diet going?
终极回答:
啥?谁跟您说我在减肥呢,我的字典里就没有过减肥两个字呀。真有意思呀。
What? Who told you I’m on a diet? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that word before. This is so funny.
8
你的微信账号是啥呀,我来加你。
Tell me your Wechat account and I’ll add you.
终极回答:
不好意思我没听清,你说啥?哦等等,让我先出去然后把门关上再说……
I’m sorry I didn’t hear you, oh wait, let me get out and shut the door first.
