当你想用英语表达
一件作业非常风趣,
你是不是第一时刻就会想到
“Very funny”
但其实这么说
超级没礼貌,
还很简略让Native speaker误解!
一同学习一下吧。
Very funny
在口语中,它并不是单纯表达很风趣,而是有“呵呵哒、你可真逗、得了吧、拉倒吧”的意思。先看看下面两个比方:
例句:
I'll give your money back tomorrow!
我明日就还你钱!
Very funny. I have to get my money back now!
呵呵,拉倒吧,我如今就要!
Sorry I'm late. My car broke down half way here.
对不住我迟到了,我的车半路上坏了。
Very funny. Tell me another!
得了吧,我才不信呢。
经过上面的两个比方咱们能看出来,Very funny在口语中常常是带有讥讽、反语的意思。所以,“Very funny”不能随意说,假定跟对方不熟,真的会超级为难。
“风趣”英语怎么说?
