1.你是“輕量級(jí)讀者”嗎?
有的人一個(gè)晚上可以啃完一本大部頭,有的人卻一看到書上的字就止不住的犯困,后者被稱為“輕量級(jí)讀者”,英文表達(dá)是lightweight reader。
Lightweight reader refers to someone who gets sleepy or passes out shortly after starting to read.
“輕量級(jí)讀者”指的是那些一開始看書就犯困或者看沒多久就睡著的人。
Contrary to “heavyweight”, which means very powerful, “l(fā)ightweight” means having little ability, and lightweight reader is a reader who is not good at reading, in fact, far from good at it. You can also call him a poor reader.
和“重量級(jí)”(意思是十分強(qiáng)大)相反,“輕量級(jí)”的意思是能力極低?!拜p量級(jí)讀者”則是不擅長(zhǎng)閱讀的人,事實(shí)上,離擅長(zhǎng)閱讀差得很遠(yuǎn)。你也可以把“輕量級(jí)讀者”叫作poor reader。
Example:
"I”m so screwed for this test, I didn't study at all."
"Why not? We had all week!"
"I”m a lightweight reader man, I never made it past section one."
“我這回考試鐵定完蛋,完全沒學(xué)習(xí)?!?
“為啥呀?咱們不是有一整周的時(shí)間嗎?”
“我是個(gè)輕量級(jí)的讀者,總是翻不過(guò)第一章?!?
2.有人喜歡“拽名牌”嗎?
身邊有些朋友特別喜歡名牌,買東西的時(shí)候非名牌不看,仿佛用著名牌才能證明自己的存在。在日常的談話中,他們也很喜歡拿這個(gè)跟別人炫耀,一張口就拽各種名牌,讓人有些消受不了。
Brand name-dropping describes the situation where someone attempts to impress others by frequently mentioning the brand names of goods that one owns, it is usually regarded negatively.
Brand name-dropping指有人在別人面前頻繁提及自己擁有的名牌物品,希望以此給人留下深刻印象,我們稱之為“拽名牌”。這種行為一般都給人不好的印象。
This phrase, a play on name-dropping, has been showing up sporadically in the media for a while now. Name-dropping is the practice of mentioning important people or institutions within a conversation, story, song, online identity, or other communication. The term often connotes an attempt to impress others.
這個(gè)短語(yǔ)由name-dropping演化而來(lái),時(shí)不時(shí)會(huì)在媒體上出現(xiàn)。Name-dropping指在談話、敘事、歌曲創(chuàng)作、網(wǎng)絡(luò)身份或其他形式的交流中提及重要人物 或機(jī)構(gòu)的名字,希望以此讓別人印象深刻。
For example: The woman wore her Jimmy Choos to walk out her Fifth Avenue apartment to her waiting Town Car, her Coach bag on one arm and carrying her iPhone in her hand as her Fortune 500 CEO husband glances at his Rolex and taps the toes of his Berlutis impatiently.
比如這樣一段話:那個(gè)女人腳蹬Jimmy Choo的鞋,走出位于第五大道的公寓,朝等在路邊的林肯Town Car走去,一手拿著Coach包,一手拿著iPhone手機(jī)。她那在財(cái)富500強(qiáng)企業(yè)當(dāng)首席執(zhí)行官的丈夫看了一眼勞力士手表,不耐煩地晃蹬著腳上的伯魯提鞋。
雅思 寫作中副詞可以讓大家的寫作變得生動(dòng)靈活,也可以讓寫作變得更加的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。當(dāng)然在一定程度上也可以增加文章的字?jǐn)?shù)。副詞可以放在形容詞的前面表示程度,也可以放在動(dòng)詞后面表示程度。當(dāng)學(xué)習(xí)完上面的英語(yǔ)流行詞匯后,你能在句子中找到多少個(gè)副詞呢?如果你正在準(zhǔn)備雅思 考試,那么快來(lái)趁熱打鐵來(lái)復(fù)習(xí)一下雅思圖表中的副詞吧!

以上就是小編為大家?guī)?lái)的關(guān)于雅思寫作創(chuàng)新詞匯的全部?jī)?nèi)容,希望大家能對(duì)本期內(nèi)容熟練記憶并且能靈活的應(yīng)用,預(yù)祝大家在雅思考試中取得好成績(jī)
