不可不学的十句英语

1、What the f u c k is going on？（到底***怎么回事？）
通常此话出于黑人之口，且口气最宜为疑惑，不解，愤怒等等。若是白人则多数时候会说-What the hell is going on? 意义相同而适用于更多场合。说此话之人身份通常为上级，且相处较久。

2、You son of *****！（你个狗娘养的！）
令人意外的是，最爱说这句话的往往是女性。越高贵，越端庄的女性越容易在压力达到
一定值时便会脱口而出。万万不要和有文化的MM顶嘴，否则被骂了还以为受表扬了呢！

3、All rise！（全体起立！）
国产英语老师最误人子弟的就是口语太差，爱说想当然口语。从小学到高中英语课代表
一直喊的是-Stand up！当然没什么不可以，但为什么不说标准的话呢？就象我们朗读
中文时说普通话一样！

4、It’s bullshit！（胡说八道！屁话！）
这句话一旦学会，包你用的乐不思蜀。用途太广泛啦！最绝是和老妈抬杠时搬出来，用
你的眼睛直视她，以忏悔的口气说出。

5、Damn it！（可恶！）
此句往往从某个孤胆英雄的嘴中冒出，发音要轻，然口气要重！此英雄往往正面临生死
抉择，例如是先剪蓝线还是先剪红线等，说时要有壮士一去不复返的气势！此句适合用
在被MM拒绝时，向MM的背影说出！万万不可忘记要配合以右手中指的朝天一刺！

6、It’s none of your business！（关你屁事！）
此句已接近经典！当你在网上浏览不健康网站遭到网吧老板的劝阻时，它往往能建下奇功！

7、Come on！
此句因拥有太多含义，所以注释欠奉。但它确实非常necessary，所有的鬼佬一天不说个十七八遍就会浑身发痒，它的经典之处你就好好体会吧！

8、Ditto！（俺也是！）
本不是常用语，不过看过“幽灵”一片的人都染上了男主角的坏习惯。从来不说I love you！总是“俺也是，俺也是！”的把MM们气得口吐白沫！实际上你也可以说“Me too!”或“Me also!”，不过总是不够文艺腔，差了那么一点点味道和情调。

9、How can I forget such a beautiful girl/sexy boy？
此句在重逢某个你早已心仪的MM或GG是不妨拿来用用。当对方还沉浸在陶醉中时，你可以利用这段时间好好想想对方的名字！

10、I had no choice！（俺也是被逼无奈啊！）
最常用此话的要数那些被男主角逼到悬崖边上的家伙们！俺真的不是有意出卖你老人家的，饶俺一命吧！
讲英语难, 吵架更难. 虽说人在国外总是想尽办法以和为贵, 但要跟人家吵架怎么办?
　　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, 所以满脑子浮现的不是 Fxxx 就是 Sxxx 这样是很不好的. 我还听过有一个人很绝, 英文骂不过人家就用中文骂, 反正对方听得懂听不懂都无关紧要, 重要的是让他知道你很凶, 而且你正在骂他就行了. 这集还是让我们来看看一些比较文雅的骂人以及吵架的方式.
　　1. I'm so fed up with your BS. Cut the crap.　　我受够了你的废话, 少说废话吧.
　　美女 (美国的女人) 是不喜欢说 shit 这个不雅的字的, 所以她们就说 shoot, 或是BS(=Bull shit) 来表示她们还是很有气质的. "Cut your crap." 是当你听到对方废话连篇, 讲个不停时, 你就可以说, "Cut the crap." 相当于中文里的废话少话。
　　2. Hey! wise up!　　放聪明点好吗?
　　当别人作了什么愚蠢的事时, 你可以说, "Don't be stupid" 或是 "Don't be silly."但是这是非常不礼貌的说法. 比较客气一点的说法就是, wise up! 它就相当于中文里的放聪明点. 你也可以用坚酸刻薄的语气说. Wise up, please. 然后故意把 please 的尾音拉得长长的.
　　也有人会说, Hey! grow up. 意思就是你长大一点好不好? 例如有人二十岁了却还不会自己补衣服, 你就可以说 Hey! grow up. 这根 wise up 是不是也差不多呢?
　　3. Put up or shut up.　　要吗你就去做, 不然就给我闭嘴.
　　有些人就是出那张嘴, 只会出意见, 此时就可以说, Put up or shut up. 要注意的是,Put up 字典上是查不到"自己去做" 的意思, 但是见怪不怪, 很多笔记本上的用法都是字典上查不到的. 比方说今天你在写程式, 有人明明不懂却喜欢在一旁指挥你, 这时候你就可以说, Put up or shut up.
　　有时为了要加强 shut up 的语气, 老美会把它说成, shut the f**k up. 这句话常在二人火气很大时的对话中可以听到, 例如电影 The house on the haunted hill 女主角身陷鬼屋之中, 其它人又七嘴八舌时, 她就很生气地说了一句, shut the f**k up.
　　这句话也让我想到一句成语, walk the walk, talk the talk, 也就是说到就要作到,有点像是中文里知行要合一的意思, 或是只说, walk the talk 也可以.
　　4. You eat with that mouth?　　你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗?
　　别人对你说脏话, 你就回敬他这一句, 言下之意, 就是你的嘴那么脏, 你还用这张嘴吃饭.还有一种说法, "You kiss your Momma with that mouth?" 就是说你也是用这脏嘴亲你***吗? 所以下次记得如果有老美对你说脏话, 记得不要再 Fxxx 回去, 保持风度,说一句, "You eat with that mouth?" 就扯平了
　　5. You are dead meat.　　你死定了.
　　我们说你完蛋了, 可以说 "You are dead." 或是像这样说 "You are dead meat." 意思都是一样的, 比如说你跟别人说过不淮碰我的东西, 但有人他就是老爱用你的东西, 下次要是再被你抓到, 你就可以说, "You are dead meat."
　　6. Don't you dare!　　How dare you!　　你好大的胆子啊!
　　这句话跟中文里 "你好大的胆子" 是一样, 可以在二种场合说, 第一种是很严肃的场合,比如说小孩子很调皮, 讲又讲不听, 父母就会说, "Don't you dare!" 那意思就是这个小孩要当心点, 不然等会就要挨打了. 另一种场合是开玩笑, 比如有人跟你说我跟某网友约会去了, 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?)
　　Dare 在英文里还有许多有趣的用法, 例如, "You dare me." 或是 "I double dare you." 还有一种游戏叫 Truth or Dare, 限于篇幅, 容后再作介绍.
　　7. Don't push me around.　　不要摆布我.
　　这个词很有意思, 把你推来推去, 作摆布解释, 如果有人指挥你一下作这个一下作那个,你就可以用这一句 Hey! Don't push me around. 通常当我讲 "Don't push me around."时, 我还会想到一个字 bossy. Bossy 就是说像是老板一样, 喜欢指挥别人. 例如,"You are so bossy. I don't like that."
　　这句话也可以单讲, "Don't push me." 或是 "Don't push me any further." 还有一句根push 有关的成语, 叫 push the button, 意思就是, 指使, 操纵. 例如, "I know why you are doing this, someone is pushing your button!"
　　8. Are you raised in the barn?　　你是不是乡下长大的啊?
　　这句话是形容一个人没教养, 但是是比较开玩笑的语气. 比如说有人坐没坐像, 你就可以对他说这一句. Barn 原指　仓. 我翻成乡下比较能跟中文的意思结合. 老美常用barn或是backyard 来形容一个人没有教养或是没有文化, 像是那天在电视上听到一句,"No backyard language in my house." 就是说, 在我的家里不准讲粗话.
　　9. You want to step outside?　　You want to take this outside?　　你想要外面解决吗?
　　老美跟我们一样, 要是二个人一言不合吵起来了, 可能就有人要说这一句了. 指的就是要不要出去打架啦. 还有一些我听过类似的用法, 例如, "Do you want to pick a fight?"
　　你要挑起争端吗? 或是 "This means war." 这就意谓着跟我宣战.
　　10. You and what army?　　You and who else?　　你和哪一路的人马啊?
　　要是有人跟你说 "Do you want to step outside?", 就回他这一句吧. 意思是说,是喔... 那你找了多少人马要来打架啊? 有时候电视里出现这句对白的时候, 还会打出一排军队的计算机动画, 非常地有意思.
　　还有一句话也很好玩, 叫 "Who's side are you on?" 这就是在快要打架时, 你问人家说,你到底是站在哪一边的?
