7 R" {: Z# s: N! J2 Q如何用英语优雅地表达自己的愤怒?$ e- J, o1 x; `9 ^: O2 `
/ ?; r5 ?. G$ U- [% `& k) F. T
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： / h* d/ M$ M6 W8 G
2 F* ^0 f; ]: p, w2 v
　　Hey!wise up!放聪明点好吗？
: j( U+ m; o, [3 E9 i+ Z( I* ~# [! i: {& B; R
　　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?
) O6 Y7 Z8 p" T" D$ U0 W: B4 z  \* E8 C3 R/ B- |
　　Put up or shut up.要么你就去做，不然就给我闭嘴。
! U8 H  B, m# ]. V( t( z
6 s* r( A8 C+ f) ^　　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。
; Q: r3 X( L- P' ^: ?4 o
9 L) L9 K+ Z, x% W7 I  h　　You eat with that mouth?你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗？ . R. f& s( Y  M0 \1 q/ R8 W) V& W/ _' v

7 V+ p+ S0 O* E. d3 v, W/ [　　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。 # E4 V3 ~( N) T7 h
' Z4 |$ t7 y' Z" o
　　You are dead meat.你死定了。 7 l0 D% P: c9 A6 h: K* U; l

- E/ [  }) T* B7 r( l' ]　　也可以说：“You are dead.”你完蛋了。 , x$ a, |( i9 q& W( c
" `* c6 y% Z( x& g
　　Don't you dare!How dare you!你好大的胆子啊�_ / @* z& Q6 m: k1 R" y! @$ b

2 d0 B$ d1 p( B- a8 s5 u　　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?
& J& E" h7 m# V6 Q: \) ?" C. X2 V. F" u  e5 g
　　Don't push me around.不要摆布我。 ' [6 x) \1 B/ z6 @" l$ L/ I5 e

/ {( x  k5 t- w　　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 P$ C, j3 G# _: r
' |, J8 Y7 D! V
　　You want to step outside? + o( n" v0 u) O9 D' j
2 v! o; R. ^0 B6 o- @$ |  G( I
　　You want to take this outside?想到外面解决吗？
1 \$ [0 V, ^  Q% Y' [) N+ l. e, |9 Y* u: C
　　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。 / t3 j0 y0 y% j, y& G

1 d, H* r" E( ~' }! ~- [　　You and what army?You and who else?你和哪一路人马啊？
8 w7 X/ W* D. A1 F1 L" j" w, A7 g7 {. m% P! W  L# ]( d) 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?

Ok, 今天的内容好像多了些,可能不那么容易记住并熟练运用了。我一般是不主张一次多记的，又不是背单词。所以建议大家分开来看。因为我不想把一个主题的内容再分开了，所以都写一起了。见谅。如果还是希望把他们分开成短篇的，可以留言给我。我下次注意。 现在来点轻松的吧！2 {1 d8 u0 y8 V8 W8 F4 u5 ?; x4 r

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）

中国人大多喜欢温文尔雅的儒生形象。这也是中美文化差异之一喽！在美国，经常会听到美国女生说“He's so cute!(他好帅哦！)"这里用的是cute, 而不是handsome.不过两者的意思是一样的，都是好看的意思。只是美国人习惯用cute这个词。当然了，可不是指男生很可爱哦。除了说男生的脸张得cute之外呢，她们还会注意男生的小屁屁。她们会说"He has such a cute butt! (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。

They care about the build of their bodies（他们很重视体魄）。他们欣赏masculine, macho(有男人味、有肌肉的男生）。很多人从小就养成去健身房运动的习惯（work out at the gym)。他们不喜欢pale (苍白) and flabby (肌肉松弛)的男生。我没生病前也经常去gym哦。：）) v: u* t- ^/ M# _0 n
