高考應(yīng)用文關(guān)鍵詞整理--complain、complaint、dissatisfied、dissatisfaction
評(píng)卷時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)許多同學(xué)在使用某一類應(yīng)用文關(guān)鍵詞的時(shí)候常常出錯(cuò)，如在寫邀請(qǐng)信時(shí)，要么是invite搭配錯(cuò)誤，要么是出現(xiàn)拼寫錯(cuò)誤，寫成了invent，甚至根本就沒有出現(xiàn)表示應(yīng)用功能的關(guān)鍵詞invite。對(duì)于這類試卷，評(píng)卷老師會(huì)直接給不及格的分?jǐn)?shù)，更不必說得高分了。從根本上說，這是基礎(chǔ)問題，這樣的錯(cuò)誤純屬低級(jí)錯(cuò)誤，很難得到評(píng)卷老師的原諒。所以，同學(xué)們一定要花些時(shí)間牢記這些關(guān)鍵詞的用法，減少低級(jí)錯(cuò)誤，爭(zhēng)取應(yīng)用文得高分。
今天推送的是表“投訴”的關(guān)鍵詞---complain、complaint、dissatisfied、dissatisfaction 。寫投訴信時(shí)，你可以用到這些關(guān)鍵詞。

吐槽只會(huì)用complain?美國(guó)人都用這個(gè)詞!
01.
Roast
01.
Roast
大家都知道這個(gè)詞是“烤”的意思，其實(shí)它還有另一個(gè)用法：
To roast someone: 批評(píng)某人
把某人放在輿論的烤架上，用語(yǔ)言猛烈地炙烤，引申為嚴(yán)厲批評(píng)的意思：
Putting them on the spot, putting all the heat on them, to criticize them
另外也可以表達(dá)帶有挖苦、調(diào)侃的批評(píng)，這就和中文里的“吐槽”非常類似了，近幾年中國(guó)大火的綜藝節(jié)目《吐槽大會(huì)》的英文名就叫做《Roast》，它的原版是美國(guó)知名脫口秀《Comedy Central Roast》(喜劇中心吐槽大會(huì))，專門請(qǐng)明星來節(jié)目上吐槽：
Celebrity roast: 名人吐槽
吐槽者是 Roaster，如果是“被吐槽”用動(dòng)詞 get：
To get roasted: 被吐槽
I got roasted. 我被吐槽了。
在北美的婚禮上，為了活躍氣氛，通常新郎都會(huì)被吐槽一下：
The groom gets roasted by the best man. 新郎被伴郎吐槽了。
02.
Complain
Complain 這個(gè)詞你一定學(xué)過，它和吐槽類似，用來表示內(nèi)心的不滿：
To complain about something to someone: 和某人抱怨某事
比如你去了一家很糟糕的餐廳：
Complaining about the bad service… 抱怨服務(wù)差…
Complaining about the food… 抱怨食物不好…
也有人不管遇到什么事都要吐槽：
Someone is always complaining. 某人總是在吐槽。
Someone loves to complain. 某人很愛吐槽。
愛抱怨的人稱為：
A complainer
具體接某件抱怨的事情，用介詞 about：
He is always complaining about life. 他總是在抱怨生活。
其實(shí)真正在 complain 的時(shí)候，不一定會(huì)用到 complain 這個(gè)詞，例如想和餐廳經(jīng)理投訴、吐槽，通常直接用 speak：
I'd like to speak to the manager. 我想和經(jīng)理談?wù)?投訴)。
經(jīng)理來了之后，向他指出自己要吐槽的東西，通常會(huì)用 complain 的名詞形式：
Make a complaint：提出投訴
I'd like to make a complaint. 我要投訴一下。
03.
Moan/Whine/Gripe
說完這么正式的 complain，接下來介紹三個(gè)更生動(dòng)的詞：
Moan: /mo?n/ 呻吟，抱怨，吐槽(動(dòng)物發(fā)出呻吟)
Whine: /wa?n/ 哭嚷，抱怨，吐槽(孩子喜歡哭嚷)
Gripe: /ɡra?p/ 發(fā)牢騷，抱怨，吐槽
怎么用：Moan/whine/gripe+about/over
He is always moaning about his job.他總是吐槽他的工作。
He is always whining about his life.他總是吐槽他的生活。
He is always griping about his wife.他總是吐槽他的妻子。
He loves to moan / whine / gripe about everything! 他總是在吐槽一切!
04.
Fuss
愛吐槽的人通常比較挑剔，對(duì)什么都有要求，形容這種“事兒多”的人：
Fussy: 過分挑剔的
Make a fuss + about: 對(duì)…小題大做，大驚小怪
She is so fussy and always making a fuss. 她太挑剔了，總是小題大做。
還可以加上表示程度的短語(yǔ)：
Make a bit of a fuss: 有點(diǎn)小題大做
Make a huge fuss: 特別小題大做
另外去別人家做客時(shí)，如果你不想太麻煩主人，可以客氣地說：
Oh, please, don't make a fuss. 別太麻煩您了。
No need to make a fuss. 不需要太麻煩。
