今天少儿英语老师给大家介绍美国青少年喜欢用的六个词语,都是地道的用法哟!跟随老师带你体验不一样的国外青少年文化。
1. Turn up
Definition: Want to get this party started? Then you better turn up. After all, there is nothing teens love more than #parties (except maybe #selfies). Also can be used ironically.
Used in a sentence: "Did you hear Tracy is hosting an open house rager tonight? TURN UP!"
定义:想要搞 high 一个派对吗?那你好 high 起来。毕竟,派对是青少年们的爱!
这个词同样也可以用作表达讽刺的含义。
例句:你听说 Tracy 今晚会在家开一个很棒的派对吗?大家 high 起来!
2. Doe
Definition: Um, it's like "though" but better, and used for emphasis. There really isn't much to it.
Used in a sentence: "Oh, dat test doe!"
定义:“doe”这个词有点像“though”,但是语气会委婉一点,一般用于强调。没有太多实质性含义。同理,“dat”同“that”也有点像,都是将“th”的音发成了“d”,国外的青少年比较钟爱这样的发音,因为这样的发音听起来很酷。
3. Swag money
Definition: Sort of like "swerve", "swag money" is an emphatic phrase that can be used at either end of a sentence. It is used to convey "rich greatness" because, duh, as if teens would ever be caught saying something is just great.
Used in a sentence: "Oh swag money, we got front-row seats to the One Direction concert!"
定义:“swag money”是一个强调型的短语,它可以用于句首或者句尾。一般用于表示“非常棒”。
例句:哦!太棒了!我们买到了 One Direction 演唱会第一排的票。
4. Kk
Definition: Used exclusively in texting, "kk" is the less passive-aggressive version of "OK." After all, teens love to be soooooo chill.
Used in a sentence: (Responding to a question) "Kk."
定义:只用于短信,KK是OK的缩写
5. Killin'it"
Definition: Teens are constantly doing awesome things, so they had to invent a phrase that basically means the awesomer version of awesome. That's where "killin' it" comes in.
Used in a sentence: "OMG I totally was killin' it on the dance floor at prom!"
定义:青少年们总是会做一些非常不可思议的事情,所以他们会自己发明一个词,以此来表达自己很酷,与众不同。
例句:天啊!我在毕业舞会上的舞蹈表演真的是棒极了!!!
6. Fam
Definition: Everyone has a family, but when you are a teen, you refer to them as your "fam" because abbreviating stuff is so mad chill. It's especially useful to do when you are complaining about and/or making fun of them (a favorite pastime of teens everywhere).
Used in a sentence: "Ugh, I have to have dinner with the fam tonight but I can go out after."
定义:每个人都有自己的家庭。青少年们会将自己的“family”简称为“fam”,因为这样讲起来会很cool。这个词通常用于抱怨或开玩笑的句子。
例句:啊!今晚我得和家人一起吃晚餐,不过晚点我可以出来。
