加拿大华人论坛 加拿大生活信息英语中你没见过的新鲜词汇

在加拿大

中文里有“宅”“恐婚族”这样的城市流行语，英文中一样有这样想象力与构词法催生的新鲜词。这些新词的生命力有多久且不论，我们完全可以拿来让自己的语言更生动有趣，比如说中午太困了，可以说I got a mid-day crisis. 是不是很有腔调的感觉呢？ 　　Good lenses, bad frames 　　人不可貌相 　　Describing someone who gives a bad first impression but is actually a good person. Someone who doesn't appear to be competent, yet is extremely capable at what he/she does. 　　形容一个给人的第一印象极差、但本质很好的人，或者指表面看不出来，实则深藏不露的高手。 　　例句：Dr. Bruce is a spaz, but he's one of the best doctors I know. You wouldn't know it by looking at him...good lenses, bad frames. 　　Mid-day crisis 　　午间危机 　　When one is in a desperate need for a siesta because they become extremely tired in the afternoon and coffee isn't cutting it any longer. 　　指急需午睡以补充体力的情况，这种时候通常咖啡已经不管用了。 　　例句：After that wild night of drinking, I had the worst mid-day crisis ever.

三千日夜吟愁赋，一亿白发尽满头。梦入枫林遍芳丛，觉来惆怅恨无数。 [[FONT=宋体]加拿大，请在不远的地方等我http://www.canadameet.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=263009][/FONT] [[FONT=宋体]起程-[FONT=宋体]献给[/FONT]91[FONT=宋体]旧政和[/FONT][FONT=宋体]新政的同路人[/FONT]][/FONT] [[FONT=宋体]一个等待移民者的内心独白http://www.canadameet.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=255315[FONT=宋体]][/FONT][/FONT]回复: 英语中你没见过的新鲜词汇Clock Out With My Cock Out 　　下班high去喽 　　To "call it a day" at work so you can go party. 　　下班之后去派对狂欢(clock out即打卡下班，也可以说punch out) 　　例句：-Hey, dude, you coming to happy hour? 　　-Hells yeah! It's time to clock out with my cock out! 　　Nearsighted Date 　　“近视”相亲 　　As opposed to a blind date, where you have no idea what the other person looks like, a nearsighted date is one where you've seen a photo or chatted via web before meeting in person. 　　与blind date(事先一无所知的相亲)相对，指在相亲前看过对方的照片或者网聊过。 　　This can often lead to disappointment if one person or the other has supplied misleading documentation. 　　如果对方没有给你真实照片或提供了虚假信息，nearsighted date一样有见光死的可能。 　　例句：That's the last nearsighted date I ever go on...her profile picture must have been 5 years, 3 hair colors and 2 kids ago.(这个见光死死得彻底啊……)
