妙语佳句，活学活用

1.chipper:

高兴的，得意的。

Maggie看见Ashley满面春风地走进门，所以问她：

“你美什么呢？

”

2.samplesale:

样本特卖。

后面的Fiftypercentoff则是指“打五折”。

3.Onedoorcloses,andtwodoorsopen.一扇门关上，就有两扇门打开，类似于我们常说的“天无绝人之路”。

Dana的新歌收到了唱片公司的rejectionletter（拒绝信），所以她这样乐观地打趣自己。

类似的说法是Whenonedoorcloses,anotherdooropens.

4.hangup:

挂断电话。

Donothangup,please.就是“请不要挂断”的意思。

5.I.M.:

即时讯息，instantmessage的缩写。

6.touch:

修改，润色。

Ashley谎称从Miss.Braden那里收到I.M.，说Miss.Braden正在进行finaltouches（最后的润色）。

Touch在这里意为“修改，润色”，平时我们也常用finishingtouches来表示这种意思。

7.underpaid:

所得报酬过低。

例如：

Hecomplainedofbeingunderpaid.（他抱怨报酬过低。

）

妙语佳句，活学活用

1.homeoraway?

:

主场还是客场?

在比赛中，我们常用home和away来表示主客场。

2.dragonlady:

“龙夫人”。

Ashley将Miss.Braden称为“dragonlady"是形容她非常严厉。

3.bash:

美国俚语中，bash用来指“舞会，大型派对”，而bash的本意是指“猛击，重敲”，例如：

Hebashedthedoorinandenteredtheroom.他破门进入房间。

4.caliber:

才干，水准。

在这里，Ashley所说的menofPeggy'scaliber意思是“能对上Peggy胃口的人。

”

5.drool:

流口水，胡说八道。

Ashley说“你们把口水都流到地毯上了”，是来形容姑娘们见到帅哥Antonio时激动的心情。

6.drycleaning:

干洗。

如果你家附近有drycleaningshop（干洗店）的话，你就可以很方便地把标有DryCleanOnly（只能干洗）的衣服拿去drycleaning。

7.bigdate:

重要的约会。

 MichaelJacksonisabignameinthemusicbusiness.迈克尔·杰克逊在音乐界是个响当当的名字，但在演唱会之前这个bigmoment（重要的时刻），他却去世了。

8.blinddate:

相亲，经由第三方安排的约会。

9.hititoff：

和得来。

在这里，Antonio的意思是“如果你觉得我们会来电的话”。

10.Whataretheodds？

：

Dana说这句话的意思是，莎拉·杰西卡·帕克（《欲望都市》女主角扮演者）的衣服错送到你这里，还恰好是你的尺寸，“你还指望什么呢？

”我们平时还用Whataretheoddssolongasyouarehappy?

来表示“知足者常乐”。

妙语佳句，活学活用

1.carnival-like:

像嘉年华一样的。

Ashley计划把这个masquerade（化妆舞会）办成类似于嘉年华的饮宴狂欢。

2.upscale:

高端的，高消费阶层的。

这类upscale（迎合高层次消费者的）商品针对的顾客通常住在upscaleneighborhood（高档社区），在upscalemarket（高档商品市场）购买upscalefashions（高级时装）。

3.deejay:

播放音乐的人，通常简称为DJ。

4.fortune-teller:

算命者。

Teller作为后缀，用来表示“……的人”，例如：

story-teller（讲故事的人）。

而teller单独使用，则还可以用来指“出纳”。

5.onstilts:

踩着高跷。

在Ashley设计的这场masquerade（化妆舞会）中，waiters都是踩着高跷（onstilts）来为人们服务的。

而如果说一个人talkonstilts，可不是说他在踩着高跷讲话，而是说他“夸夸其谈，夸张做作”。

6.alcove:

单间，在这里指舞会上为人们约会提供的私密隔间。

家里装修的时候，还常隔出一件coatalcove（衣帽间）。

7.Ioweyoubigtime:

我欠你一个大人情。

owesomeoneabigtime的意思就是“欠某人情，十分感激某人”，而bigtime单独使用，则是指“愉快的时光”。

比如，在这次thebigtime（成功的商业演出）过后，Jim和他的同伴外出度假，Theyhadabigtimethere.

8.high-strung:

高度紧张的,容易兴奋的.Heisahigh-strungartist.（他是个容易激动的艺术家。

）有时候我们也用这个词来形容某人“十分敏感”。

9.doll:

美男子。

美国俚语。

如果我们称某个美女为doll，则是说她漂亮但没有头脑。

10.freeloader:

不速之客，揩油的人。

也就是我们口语中常说的“吃白食”。
