生活日常英语

生活日常英语：流行话百分百一。

fly 酷，正点

英解：cool; fantastic; stylish

“fly”这个字在一般英文用法中多半是当动词“飞行”或名词“苍蝇”解释，但在俚语用法中，“fly”可当形容词用，意思是“很酷的”、“很正点的”。

a: check this out, man. it's a guitar-limited edition!

你瞧，老兄。这是一把限量款的吉他喔！

b: wow, that's fly! can i play it a little bit?

哇，真酷！可以让我弹一下吗？

pain in the neck 惹人嫌，让人很受不了的麻烦

英解：a very annoying person or situation

“pain in the neck” 这句俚语照字面翻译是“脖子痛”的意思，引申用来指一个人很讨厌，有点类似我们所说的“惹人嫌”；如果把这句俚语用在事情上，则是比喻一件事“很麻烦”、“让人伤透脑筋”。

a: can you tell linda to shut up? she's so annoying!

你可不可以叫琳达闭嘴？她很烦耶！

b: yeah, she's just a real pain in the neck sometimes. i wonder how her boyfriend can stand her.

对呀，她有时候真的是很“惹人嫌”。我很好奇她男朋友怎么受得了她。

go pear-shaped 搞砸了

英解：to be screwed up, badly wrong

“go pear-shaped”这句俚语的典故据说源自以前的英国飞行员在接受训练时必须“绕圆圈”飞行，但由于难度颇高，因此飞行员往往会飞成“梨形”“pear-shaped”，而非正圆形“perfect circle”。几经演变，后来英文就以这句话来比喻一件事情“未如原先预期”或“搞砸了”。

a: how was your presentation yesterday?

did you get them to sign the contract yet?

你昨天的简报做的怎样？你让他们签约了吗？

b: no, it all went pear-shaped. my partner was late and forgot to bring all the important *****s.

没有，全搞砸了。我的同伴不但迟到，还忘了带所有重要的资料。

your mouth is writing checks your butt can't cash. 你在乱开空头支票

英解：you're ****** promises you can't keep.

“your mouth is writing checks your buttock can't cash.”这句话出自好莱坞性格男明星汤姆·克鲁斯在电影《捍卫战士》中的对白，这句话照字面翻译是“你的嘴巴正在开你屁股不能兑现的支票”，用来引申一个人“信口开河，乱开空头支票”的意思。

a: when we get married i'm going to buy you 10 houses, 50 cars and a jet!

等我们结婚的时候，我会买十幢房子、五十辆车子和一架喷射机送你！

b: i think your mouth is writing checks your buttock can't cash.

我觉得你在乱开空头支票耶。
