来看看 fart around 到底是啥意思呢?To waste time doing silly or unnecessary things,无所事事;闲荡。
也就是我们说的摸鱼、混日子了,再通俗一点,闲出屁了~
Stop farting around and help me clean up.
别闲荡摸鱼了,来帮我收拾吧。
西外君只是打打哈欠呀!工作还是要工作的,哪有摸鱼~
打哈欠、打喷嚏、打嗝放屁这些小动作每个人都会做,但大家知道该怎么用英语说这些动作吗?
打哈欠 yawn
yawn /jɔːn/ 既可以作动词也可以表示名词,作动词就是打哈欠这个动作。
I can't stop yawning - I must be tired .
我一个劲儿打哈欠——肯定是累了。
作名词的时候,大家可以联想一下,一个人或一件事,老是让你打哈欠,提不起兴趣来,那这个人或这件事肯定很无趣。
所以,yawn 在作名词时,除了指名词哈欠,也可以表示乏味的事物或人。
Her eyes watered as she tried to stifle (= stop ) a yawn.
她强忍着不打哈欠,眼泪都出来了。
The film was a total yawn.
这个电影太没劲了。
下面再说说打嗝儿该怎么说~
打嗝 burp
burp /bɜːp/
英文释义:to allow air from the stomach to come out through the mouth in a noisy way
He burped so loudly that it made people laugh.
他打了个响嗝,逗笑了大家~
burp 是我们吃饱之后打的嗝,那大家也肯定有这种情况,一直打嗝根本停不下来,突然袭击的这种嗝是怎么说的呢?
Hiccup /ˈhɪk.ʌp/
英文释义:a loud noise that you make in the throat without wanting to, caused by a sudden tightening of a muscle just below the chest and usually happening repeatedly
a series of hiccups
接连打嗝
I've got the hiccups.
我不断地打嗝。
