- L+ Q3 D* s4 {) M如何用英语优雅地表达自己的愤怒?* c3 x* M8 S  h+ o
0 c: |$ N+ P4 J% k3 \
很多人一生气,所有的英文都忘光了,平常英文就说不出口,更何况是吵架,所以满脑子浮现的都是脏话,这是很不好的。有人很绝,英文骂不过人家就用中文,反正对方听不听得懂都无所谓,重要的是让他知道你很凶,你正在骂他就行了。现在让我们来看看一些比较文雅的方式： ! b( W: x, }& t- S+ F
& P  ^) @2 ~) z6 f0 _3 f
　　Hey!wise up!放聪明点好吗？ . k  X; W( O3 L( O: f

; q4 O" X, m. ~# s0 L　　当别人做了蠢事时,你可以说,“Don't be stupid！”或“Don't be silly.”但这是非常不礼貌的说法。客气一点的说法就是：Wise up!你也可以用尖酸刻薄的语气说：Wise up, please.然后故意把please的尾音繽得长长的。也有人会说, Hey! grow up.意思就是你长大一点好不好?例如有人20岁了还不会自己补衣服,你就可以说Hey! grow up.这根wise up是不是也差不多呢? 2 E3 u7 C2 E% u

! Y9 @% C" N5 H- e　　Put up or shut up.要么你就去做，不然就给我闭嘴。 $ H% z9 C" |  o$ p+ m

8 G. d- S) E5 O+ z- j! Y　　要注意的是，Put up字典上查不到“自己去做”的意思,但见怪不怪,很多口语都是字典上查不到的。这句话也让人想到一句成语：walk the walk, talk the talk,即说到做到,有点像是中文里的言行一致,或是只说：walk the talk也可以。
" [& i  _  h5 L- B; @+ ~% \
* M( |: }6 u4 c) K3 n　　You eat with that mouth?你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗？
# r- |4 n2 R  |' N: c, a. T* u
. n2 d* ?) @/ T　　别人对你说脏话,你就回敬他这句,言下之意是你的嘴那么脏,你还用它吃饭？还有一种说法：“You kiss your mother with that mouth?”你用这张脏嘴亲你妈妈吗？所以下次记得如果有老外对你说脏话,不要再骂回去,保持风度,说一句,“You eat with that mouth?”就扯平了。
5 y+ Q5 y0 R1 i% w+ r7 I& w$ @9 O1 x
　　You are dead meat.你死定了。 1 t9 y2 O/ z% [! O3 A( u1 V

# |; q, E+ `5 O# j5 N　　也可以说：“You are dead.”你完蛋了。 % X$ T5 N0 l* u* v. R

7 u+ l1 x6 |) o( J: t0 a　　Don't you dare!How dare you!你好大的胆子啊�_ 5 j' }3 K. W% I/ J  H

0 L7 G! Z+ j. Q. }8 d7 ?　　这句话可以在两种场合说,第一种是很严肃的场合,如小孩子很调皮,不听话，父母就会说,“Don't you dare!”意思是你给我当心点,不然等会就要挨打了。另一种场合是开玩笑,如有人说他要跟某网友约会,你说“Don't you dare?”就有点开玩笑的语气，你不怕被恐龙给吃了吗?
0 o% t! s: W" h5 M% I, G  Q" k) `6 g0 Y6 T! q
　　Don't push me around.不要摆布我。
0 c0 _7 E8 S( \# U" _
7 u3 }9 \* M9 C1 S　　通常当我讲这句话时，我还会想到一个字“bossy”，像是老板一样,喜欢指挥别人。如：“You are so bossy. I don't like that.”这句话也可以单讲,“Don't push me.”或“Don't push me any further.”还有一句跟push有关的成语：push the button,指使,操纵。如：“I know why you are doing this, someone is pushing your button!”

1 Q7 n4 P2 s3 K: E' H7 ~　　You want to take this outside?想到外面解决吗？
" g2 S! e/ G2 D! I
  J, @- O; D' d6 _7 F; I　　老外跟我们一样,二个人一言不合吵起来了,可能就有人要说这句了，指的就是要不要出去打架啦。我还听过类似的用法,如：“Do you want to pick a fight?”你要挑起争端吗?或“This means war.”这就意味着跟我宣战。
& ]" ?; ]8 t' }+ b9 C: D: v# K* a  T" Z5 }7 |2 k; c
　　You and what army?You and who else?你和哪一路人马啊？ - A# Z, I# Z- f! X1 y
8 U0 a8 T. ^1 n. t  T
　　要是有人跟你说“Do you want to step outside?”就回他这一句。意思是说：“喔�_�_那你找了多少人来打架啊?”有时候电视里出现这句对白时,还会打出一排军队的电脑动籣,非常有意思。还有一句话也很好玩：“Who's side are you on?”这是在快要打架时,你问人家：你到底是哪一边的?1 U" k% f8 a$ D+ q5 p: {0 s6 F

on the house字面上是“在房子上面”的意思，但这里是一个片语，意思是“免钱，店长请客”。比如说在酒吧喝酒，有时候酒保会请你喝一杯，他就会说“This one is on the house" （这杯我请客）。不过笨笨的blonde girl连简单片语都听不懂，就傻傻爬到屋顶上找酒喝了。（是不是我们也会理解成在房顶上有酒啊？恐怖，别打我哦，我不是故意的）9 V3 ?- K8 m! T

(他的小屁屁长得真好看！）" 当然美国男生也会注意女生的小屁屁啦。我就亲耳听到很多男生讲过某个女生的小屁屁很翘，很性感哦。美国女生喜欢那种爱运动，体格很健壮，有肌肉的男生。所以校队的运动员，特别是football(美式橄榄球)球队的男生，通常都是very popular的。
