加拿大华人论坛 加拿大百科“忙得四脚朝天”用英语怎么说 及其他常见汉语表达

在加拿大

Donny在北京学中文。他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是杨琳要问的：忙。 Donny：Hi 杨琳，what's up? I haven't seen you in ages.YL: 别提了，我最近特别忙，I am really busy! 忙得四脚朝天，怎么说...four feet up!Donny: four feet up? I can imagine. But in English, we don't say that...You can say I'm up to my neck in work.YL: I'm up to my neck... in work ? 工作太多，堆到和脖子一样高？被工作压得喘不过气来。这个说法太形象了! 还有别的吗？Donny: There is another expression that also has to do with body parts. It is "I've got my hands full".YL: I've got my hands full。我明白了，就是说两手都没闲着。Donny: Exactly. Oh, I just thought of another one---"I have a lot on my plate".YL: I have a lot on my plate? plate, p-l-a-t-e, plate 不是盘子么？说盘子里有很多东西，那一定是...忙着吃呢吧？Donny: That's possible! Anyway, when you say you have a lot on your plate, it means you're busy.YL: 我知道了。哎呀，我快迟到了，快，再教最后一个。Donny: Okay, this one will be easier to remember-- I've got a million things to do!YL: 太夸张了吧! I've got a million things to do! 有一百万件事情等着我去做。Donny: Right! Now, Yang Lin, tell me what you've learned today!YL: 今天学到的还真不少。形容特别忙可以说，I'm up to my neck in work，工作堆到脖子了；I've got my hands full, 两手都占着呢；I have a lot on my plate，盘子里堆得满满的。哎呀! 我得赶紧走人了，I've got a million things to do!

Connections are important. 有人说，找工作时，What really counts is not what you know, but who you know.ff: "Not what you know but who you know?" 不是看你知道什么，而是看你认识谁？我觉得，也不能这么绝对! 关系固然重要，但自己还是要有真本事!Donny: Certainly! So it should be "what you know plus who you know"!ff: 对，肚子里有学问，人脉又广，二者结合在一起，你就无敌了。不过，像我这种刚出校门的，社交能力还不行，需要磨炼!Donny: Don't worry. You'll have plenty of time to work on your networking skills.ff: 哦，networking skills 就是社交技巧。Donny: Right. With strong networking skills, you'll develop more connections. 到时候，我找工作可得靠你帮忙了!ff: 哈哈，我期待这一天!Donny: 先别美! Tell me what you've learned today!ff: 第一，“人脉”在美语里就是 connection；第二，形容“人脉广”用 well-connected；第三，社交技巧，是 networking skills!

Diamond是钻石的意思，而rough, 意思是粗糙的，未经雕琢的。连起来，diamond in the rough, 字面意思是粗糙的钻石，实际上就是我们在中文里所说的“未经雕琢的璞玉”。上面例子里谈到的那个实习生就是这样。She may not be an established broadcaster, but she shows potential. She's a DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. 她现在还不是一名播音员，但是她很有潜力。她是一块未经雕琢的璞玉。下面的例子里，一个刚买房的人对他的房子有什么跟别人不一样的见解呢? 我们来听听看:"My friends don't have a very high opinion of the house I bought. True, it's small and outdated. But the way I see it, its my DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. Once I build an addition on to it, install new windows, doors and give it a fresh coat of faint, it'll be quite inviting. "这段话是说：我朋友都觉得我刚买的房子买亏了。这房子确实不大，而且装璜也过时了。但是我觉得这幢房子很有潜力。一旦我重新装修，安上新的窗户和门，重新粉刷，这房子肯定能焕然一新。我相信他很善于投资房地产，因为他能够意识到什么房子有翻修的价值。我的一个好朋友也是这样，她从来没有投资过房地产，不过她投资对了人。在她和她男朋友恋爱的时候，大家都不看好，可是她认为她男朋友是个潜力股。事实证明，His husband then started a great business. He was a DIAMOND IN THE TOUGH after all.Diamond in the rough, 未经雕琢的璞玉。对于教练或者教师来说，发现这种潜力股的能力很重要。下面的这名网球教练就试图说服大家他发现了一个很有潜力的新球员，我们来听听看:"Samantha's coach has tried to convince anyone who will listen that he's discovered the next great tennis star. But nobody believes that she's a DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. No matter how much she trains, they think it's doubtful that she'll ever become an exceptional player."这段话是说：萨曼塔的教练试图让其他人相信他真的发现了未来的网球明星。但是没有人相信她是一支潜力股。不管她怎么训练，大家都怀疑她是否能成为一名出色的网球选手。一般来说，很难想像所有人都是错的。不过也有很多例子说明真理有时候确实会站在少数人那一边。说起Diamond in the rough这个短语的起源，最初人们用这个短语来指那些还没有经过雕琢的，特别是那些可能被打造成高贵珠宝的宝石。现在，我们用这个短语的引申意义，来形容那些非常有潜力的人和物品。

Are you sure its food is authentic?FF: Authentic? 什么意思？Jessica: Authentic is spelled a-u-t-h-e-n-t-i-c, authentic的意思是“真实的”，“地道的”。 For example, authentic Chinese food 就是地道的中餐。 ​FF: 哦! 那authentic American English就是“地道美语”，对不对？Jessica: 没错! 对了, You haven't answered my question yet--why are you so sure that restaurant serves authentic Hunan cuisines?FF: 因为这是一个特别会吃的朋友推荐的。他可是个老饕，或者叫食客，专门能发现一些不起眼，但是特地道的餐馆。对了，这种食客在美语里要怎么说呢？Jessica: We call those people foodies. F-o-o-d-i-e, foodie refers to someone who loves everything there is to know and learn about food. You can rely on their picks of restaurants.FF: My friend is totally a foodie! He took me to a small eatery last week, and the food there was terrific!Jessica: Wow, you must have pigged out!FF: Pig out?Jessica: To pig out means to eat a lot until you're really full.FF: 哦，to pig out就是甩开腮帮子狂吃!

Are you saying you're good-looking?FF: 哈哈! No. “眼大肚子小”就是 you want to eat a lot, but your belly can't take all the food.Jessica: I see. There's a similar expression in English: your eyes are bigger than your stomach.FF: 原来“眼大肚子小”是 eyes are bigger than stomach. Jessica, please make sure I don't eat anything before tonight's dinner. I want to pig out on great Hunan food.Jessica: 哈哈，别光想着吃，还是先说说，今天都学了什么。FF: 好，今天我们学了：表示地道，用authentic; 会吃的食客，老饕，是foodie; 大吃大喝是to pig out; “眼大肚子小”则是eyes are bigger than stomach.

Cross that bridge when one comes to it 字面的意思是“到了桥边再过桥”，其实就是指“等事情发生了再应对”，“船到桥头自然直”。我侄女的父母就是这个态度，They don't want to start thinking about how to finance their daughter's veterinarian training yet. They prefer to cross that bridge when they come to it. 他们不要现在就开始为孩子上兽医学校准备学费，而是打算等孩子真上了再说。在下面的例子中，有个女孩为自己的未来做打算，嗯，其实也可以说是没做什么打算。我们来听一听:"Carrie is determined to move to New York City next fall. At the moment, she doesn't know what she's going to do for a job once she gets there. Still, she's not worried. She says that she will CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN SHE COMES TO IT. The way she figures it, she'll be able to find work after she gets settled."这段话意思是说：[Carrie下决心秋天到了就搬到纽约去住。现在，她还不知道搬过去之后要做什么工作。不过，她也不担心。她说，船到桥头自然直。等她到了纽约，一切都安顿好了，再找工作也不迟。]这种随遇而安的心态真不错，不过，很多人都没Carrie这么大松心，不愿意走一步算一步。很多人都是尽量避免可能出现的问题，这样的话，They don't have to cross that bridge when they come to it. 他们就不用等问题发生了，再急切着想法子应对了。企业家常被人们认为是务实、有远见、有计划的人，可实际上真是这样么？咱们来听听下面这段话："So far, the company presidents have agreed that they'll sign the contract with Mexico. Beyond that, they haven't really decided what they'll do next. The reality is that they'll deal with the situation when it happens. They're CROSSING THAT BRIDGE WHEN THEY COME TO IT."这段话是说：[到目前为止，公司总裁已经同意和墨西哥方面签合同，可除此之外，公司决策层并没有决定下一步的工作。事实上，他们打算走一步算一步。他们的态度就是等问题出来了再去想怎么办。]Cross the bridge when one comes to it 在口语里的另外一个说法是Wing it. Wing it，也是“到时候再说”、“随机应变”的意思。

Tweet seat指剧场中专为那些想在演出过程中通过推特等微博平台发表言论的观众指定的座位，即“微博专座”。 Several performing arts companies around the United States are providing in-house zones where patrons can use their cell phones to share thoughts during a show, using Twitter, the popular social networking service. 美国有几家艺术演出公司已在为观众提供指定座位，以方便他们在演出过程中通过社交网站推特分享观感。 The marketing value of such an addition is clearly attractive. Subscription rates are falling across the country, and a younger audience remains elusive. Live tweeting - silent, of course - is seen as a way to enhance the experience for the tweeter and to encourage followers to see the show. 这一新增举措的市场价值显然是有吸引力的。全国剧场的门票收入都在下降，而年轻一代的观众又游移不定。在演出现场实时发微博，当然要在静音状态下进行，被视作是一种既可以提升微博观众观看演出的体验又能鼓励更多粉丝来看演出“一举两得”的方式。

This term is a play on grassroots, the ordinary people of a community or organization.Grasstop指某个社区或组织的领袖，即“草根领袖”。Grasstop这个词是在grassroots（草根）一词基础上演化而来，草根指社区或组织里的那些普通人。Since at least 1912 the word "grassroots" has been used mostly in a political context, where it refers to the rank-and-file of the electorate, a political party, or some other political organization. If the grassroots form the base of the political pyramid, the grasstops form the apex, the small group that consists of the elite and powerful members of the body politic.至少从1912年起，草根一词就大量用于政治语境，用来指代普通选民、某个政党或者某个政治组织。如果说草根（grassroots）构成政治金字塔的底座的话，那么草根领袖（grasstop）则是构成塔尖的一份子，这一小部分人包括了政治圈里的精英和有权势的成员。

Now many people use it to refer to an attractive young woman, for example: she is really a babe.Babe这个词是对年轻女子或爱人的昵称，男子用以称呼不相识的女子则有冒犯之嫌。不过，现在很多人都用这个词来指代年轻貌美的女子。例如：她真是个美女。French word "belle" means beautiful woman, hence, campus belle is the most beautiful girl in the school.Belle是个法语词，意思是“美丽的女人”，那么campus belle也就是学校里最美丽的女子（即“校花”）了。“校草”的英文表达呼声最高的当属school hunk了。Hunk is a slang term for a sexually appealing man, a person who is sexually attractive or a well-muscled, sexualized man.Hunk是个俚语表达，指性感有魅力的男子，或者身形健壮、有吸引力的男子。

Such women are compared to levers to lift their husbands or boyfriends.“杠杆女”指充分发挥自己的优势和特长帮助老公或男友在事业上取得成功的女性。这样的女性就像一根杠杆一样，可以把他们的老公或男友给“撬”起来。“经济适用男”则是身高一般、发型传统，相貌过目即忘；性格温和，发了工资会给老婆一部分；不酗酒、不关机、不赌钱、仅有少量的红颜知己；有责任感，认真工作，热爱家庭，应酬只限于工作上的，月薪不高，有支付住房首付的能力；从事平凡职业的男人。More and more women now tend to seek a "budget husband" instead of wealthy men just as home buyers now look for budget houses rather than villas during the economic crisis. Although not earning a lot, the budget husbands don't have bad habits such as drinking, smoking or gambling and are family-oriented.现在越来越多的女性不再想着找“金龟婿”了，而是倾向于找“经济适用男”（简称“经适男”）做老公。这个趋势跟经济危机时期，买房的人不再考虑买别墅，而是四处搜寻经济适用房的情况很类似。“经济适用男”虽然收入不高，但是他们没有抽烟、喝酒或赌博等恶习，而且他们还很顾家。

Thus, they became known as the "carnivorous" generation. Now here comes a small but growing class of "herbivore men", they are young, earn little and spend little, and take a keen interest in fashion and personal appearance.在日本，四五十岁的男人们每天都忙着抢工作、抢女人，因此被称为“食肉族”。现在，一个新兴的群族正在日本兴起，这个群族叫做“草食男”，他们是年轻的一代，收入和支出都不高，他们追逐时尚，并且对自己的外表格外在意。Typically, "herbivore men" are in their 20s and 30s, and believe that friendship without sex can exist between men and women. They are not eager to find girlfriends and tend to be clumsy in love.通常来说，“草食男”都是二三十岁左右的年纪，他们相信男女之间存在与性无关的友谊，他们并不急着找女朋友，而且通常在爱情方面比较迟钝。The group does not care so much about making money -- a quality tied to the fact that there are fewer jobs available during the global economic recession.对于赚钱的事情，他们也不太在意。这点应该跟全球经济危机致使工作机会比较少的整体状况有关。

They boast extensive scientific knowledge, love high-tech inventions and challenging computer games, and are curious about life. However, they may lack some common sense in regular relationship with other people.“理工男”指学理工科出身又拥有高智商的那么一群男士。他们的理工科知识面很广，热爱高科技发明，喜欢挑战电脑游戏，同时对生活充满好奇。不过，他们在人际交往方面似乎缺少一些必要的常识。The heroes in the American TV drama "The Big Bang Theory" might be the most typical representatives of this group. They play 3D chess, create Row-Sham-Bow that is much more difficult than the normal one，and do various experiments that are totally unknown to the world.美剧《生活大爆炸》中的几位主角应该是“理工男”群体的最典型代表。他们玩立体国际象棋，玩增加了N个难度级别的剪刀石头布，做各种莫名奇妙的试验。

It does not, however, necessarily indicate transgender identity; a person who cross-dresses does not always identify as being of the opposite gender. Referring to a person as a cross-dresser suggests that their cross-dressing behavior is habitual异装行为因严重背离社会大众的普遍观念，因此经常被认为是一种变性行为。然而，异装行为并不一定代表变性身份，异装行为的人并不一定就是把自己归入异性的行列。There are many different kinds of cross-dressing and many different reasons why an individual might engage in cross-dressing behavior. Some people cross-dress as a matter of comfort or style. They prefer clothing associated with the opposite sex.异装有很多种，个人选择异装的原因也各不相同。有人异装是为了舒服和时尚，因为他们更喜欢异性的服饰。另外，也有说法表示“伪娘”一词来源于日本，根据日语原意可译为newhalf，指拥有女性美貌的男性。英文解释如下：The Japanese word "newhalf" is used to describe a man who has made the mental and/or physical transition to being a woman.日语单词newhalf指从心理上以及或者身体上转变为女性的男人。由此，明确表示自己是男生的刘著应该只算是一位cross dresser，不应该归入newhalf的级别吧。

The term is most commonly used in the context of head-to-toe (or nearly) shots involving nudity.“替身”（body double）通指在录像带或电影等视觉作品中代替知名演员出演某一角色的替身演员。Body double这个词多用来指代“裸替”。More specific terms are often used in special cases; a stunt double is used for dangerous or sophisticated sequences. This is in contrast to a stand-in who replaces an actor for non-filming purposes such as scene arrangement and lighting adjustments.具体情况不同，“替身”的说法也不同，危险或复杂场景的替身叫做stunt double（特技替身）。电影拍摄之前搭景以及调试灯光时代替演员到场的替身则叫做stand-in（光替）。

Depending upon the film and the actual scene, the goof may have different effects: a loss in realism, an annoyance, or it could just be funny. It is often a type of continuity error. Goofs are also known as "bloopers" or "mistakes".电影制作时一些失误出现在影片播放中的画面就叫“穿帮镜头”（goof）。基于影片和实际场景的不同，“穿帮镜头”也会产生不同的效果：影片失真，令观众气恼，或者可能只是有点好笑。“穿帮镜头”一般多是连贯性方面的失误，在英文中还可以用blooper或者mistake来表示。There are several types of goofs, for example:“穿帮镜头”一般有这么几类：Somebody or something from the film crew is in the picture that wasn't planned (e.g., camera and cameraman is reflected in a mirror).电影剧组中的人或者道具意外出现在影片中（比如：从镜子里看到摄像机或者摄影师）。Chronological or conditional errors (e.g. a cigarette getting longer with the next scene).先后顺序或条件方面的失误（比如：下个镜头切过来后，手里的香烟比之前长了）。Historical inaccuracies and anachronisms (e.g., an HDTV set in a film set in the 1970s).史实不准确及时代错误（比如：以上世纪70年代为背景的电影中出现高清电视）。Geographic: an object or landmark reveals the scene was filmed in a different city than the city it is set. This is very common in Hollywood films that are shot in Canada.地理方面的错误：影片中的某个事物或者标志性建筑物暴露出影片中的城市并非故事设定的城市。这在好莱坞影片中很常见，很多好莱坞电影都是在加拿大拍摄的。Problems in audio or soundtrack (e.g. a person's lips carry on moving after they have finished speaking).配音方面的问题（比如：影片中人们都说完话了，可是一个人的嘴唇还在动）。Intertitles displaying wrong words (e.g. a character called "John" may have his name misspelled Jhon in the subtitles by accident).字幕显示错误的单词（比如：一个名叫John的角色，他的名字在字幕中却显示为Jhon）。

The implication is that they are eye-catching in a superficial fashion. Like actual "candy", this addition is seen to be neither nutritious nor substantial, but rather provides a potentially addictive appeal which will sustain the attention of a wider audience, possibly despite their better nature.英语俚语中通常用eye candy这个词来指代在视觉上颇具吸引力的人或者能够吸引人眼球的视觉效果，我们暂且译为“养眼花瓶”。也就是说，这些人或者视觉画面从表面来说很具有吸引力。就像candy（糖果）一样，既没有什么营养价值，也没什么实质内容，而只是能够引起更多人关注的兴趣。至于他们本质如何，则通常少人在意。The term may have been originated by interactive videodisc, user interface designers working at INTERAC Corp. in 1983. Their work integrated text, audio, graphics, photographic images, and video into a seamless presentation. The "eye candy" referred to visually appealing images supporting the overall message.Eye candy这个词初见于1983年，是由INTERAC公司的互动视盘、用户界面设计师首先使用的。他们将文本、音频、图标、照片以及视频融合成一个整体的展示界面，而eye candy指的就是为上述整体信息提供支持的视觉画面，这些画面通常都会设计得非常吸引人眼球。The term is also used to refer to actors or actresses perceived to have been cast primarily for the visual enjoyment of the audience. Various novels, articles, and stories have used this slang term to show a physical attraction one person has toward another.Eye candy也可以指代那些仅仅用来让观众赏心悦目的演员（通常被我们称为“花瓶”）。很多小说和文章都曾经用这个词来表现一个人的外在吸引力。

Although it is still rare to find guys on traditional nannying courses, attitudes are fast changing. Men of all ages are graduating from nanny schools and snaring places in domestic agencies, they are called mannies.保姆学校的大多数学员都是年轻人，而且多是女性。虽然在传统的保姆课程班很少能看到男学员，但这种观念正在迅速发生变化。现在各个年龄段的男性正在从保姆学校涌出，并且在家政公司谋得差事， 他们就被叫做男保姆。
