如何用英语优雅地表达自己的愤怒?
5 k$ @* p5 F  x& K
7 n+ r% v  b. l( [4 R) r+ q  {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： ; y2 Q: Z) D2 I/ f# p9 t1 b

$ j4 C# g0 i, c　　Hey!wise up!放聪明点好吗？ - p7 M0 k' _" G1 ^4 f! l- E
$ Q8 g* Q/ C- l- Z; o
　　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 M, e, E' D7 \; G
: [1 Y4 u. L1 j7 e2 P% x　　Put up or shut up.要么你就去做，不然就给我闭嘴。
! u% g) B; p: B1 g5 Y* Z" I
& i' f% P8 y7 _4 @　　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* c- |. W' `" x
" H& P1 \) S) E4 F$ Q　　You eat with that mouth?你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗？
2 t. l7 J+ g* X7 M* E- N+ r3 b* w& T6 A, 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。 ' ?. d7 f+ f) {$ _. Y) U; G

7 Y+ D+ _8 x( k! X　　You are dead meat.你死定了。

6 G+ t7 e) z5 f9 i　　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?
/ w" U6 A2 _8 h. g" {& ^1 E3 p5 c; I2 `" t" p! s1 `( G# \
　　Don't push me around.不要摆布我。 / Y! N+ I* E% ^8 y) P; E
1 M4 w7 ~9 h* h" z" _2 u* O
　　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!”

　　You want to take this outside?想到外面解决吗？
8 X( _$ Y% T2 i; H' D2 H* V/ o! H/ F8 U4 y) Q
　　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。
6 L- u* P( p& @9 U

3 P0 f" S; n; P; E: W" `- l7 [( k$ z' h
　　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?

注： 这是一个比较普通直接的问法，相信有英文基础的朋友都知道的。关键想介绍给大家的是回答中的一个短语：going out。这里是“交往”的意思哦，可别搞错了！ 现在就请感兴趣的朋友来联系一下吧。说说你自己的回答，把两年替换成别的时间，比如半年，一年等等。切忌，我希望大家都能掌握简单常用的美语，所以才把这一系列叫做“实用美语”，光会看不会说可不叫实用哦！一定要讲出声音才可以呢！加油哦！1 Y: x' s" {; r( G9 z" d* L2 U

Note: 美国人觉得金发女生blonde girls最美丽了。很多美国人都把她们的头发漂白成金色的，叫bleach your hair. 不过虽然她们喜欢blonde girls, 可又认为美丽的女生没大脑，所以就特别喜欢取笑blonde girls,因此也就有了blonde jokes,也就是金发美女没大脑的笑话。有些真的很毒 some are very mean! 这些blonde jokes 通常是用脑筋急转弯的方式呈现的。Here are a few for you3 r( H5 r. Q3 W4 ^- e

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）0 ~: P! \) \+ t( |" B3 T

) H( A9 a9 s: k0 p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。
