美國習(xí)語:純屬高興，暗暗發(fā)笑

Come on and get your jacket -- let's go out and have a couple of beers just for laughs. Just for laughs they tossed Mary in the swimming pool with all her clothes on. Then they found out she didn't know how to swim. I really enjoyed that movie last night. It won't win any prizes, but it has two funny guys in it that are worth watching just for laughs. We were all laughing up our sleeves at the teacher when he was up at the blackboard explaining the math problem. He had a rip in the back of his pants and didn't know it. We were all laughing up our sleeves at our brother when he sat down at the dinner table. He'd seen his girl off at the airport and had lipstick on his face and didn't know it.

笑是人類表達(dá)喜怒哀樂各種不同感情的一個(gè)不可缺少的形式。笑這個(gè)字，也就是英文里的laugh經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在美國的成語或俗語里。人們經(jīng)常會(huì)做一些事，純屬為了高興。這在英文里就是：Just for laughs。Just for laughs這個(gè)俗語在不同情況下，它的意思也就不同。首先，它可以解釋為：做某件事純屬為了高興，就像我們上面講的那樣。我們來舉個(gè)例子吧。 例句-1: "Come on and get your jacket -- let's go out and have a couple of beers just for laughs." 這個(gè)人說："來吧，穿上你的外套，我們到外面去喝兩杯啤酒高興高興。" 可是，Just for laughs有時(shí)也可以指做愚蠢的事，或有害的事。下面的情形就是一個(gè)例子： 例句-2: "Just for laughs they tossed Mary in the swimming pool with all her clothes on. Then they found out she didn't know how to swim." 這個(gè)人說："就是為了開玩笑，他們把瑪麗連衣服帶鞋的整個(gè)扔進(jìn)了游泳池，結(jié)果他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，瑪麗根本不會(huì)游泳。" 開這種惡作劇的玩笑實(shí)在是不應(yīng)該。我們再來舉一個(gè)高興一點(diǎn)的例子吧： 例句-3: "I really enjoyed that movie last night. It won't win any prizes, but it has two funny guys in it that are worth watching just for laughs." 這個(gè)人說："我很喜歡昨晚看的那個(gè)電影。這個(gè)電影不見得會(huì)得什么獎(jiǎng)，但是那兩個(gè)滑稽的角色值得一看，非常好玩。" 下面要講的一個(gè)和laugh這個(gè)字有關(guān)的習(xí)慣用語不一定會(huì)使當(dāng)事人高興。To laugh up one's sleeve。Sleeve就是衣服袖子。To laugh up one's sleeve從字面上來看是在袖子里笑，實(shí)際上也就是偷偷地笑。To laugh up one's sleeve的真正意思就是偷偷地笑話某人，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)人有些可笑的地方，而他本人還沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)。例如： 例句-4: "We were all laughing up our sleeves at the teacher when he was up at the blackboard explaining the math problem. He had a rip in the back of his pants and didn't know it." 這句話翻成中文就是："當(dāng)老師在黑板前講解數(shù)學(xué)題的時(shí)候，我們都偷偷地笑，因?yàn)樗澴雍竺嬗袀€(gè)裂縫，他自己還不知道。 其實(shí)，這種情況是經(jīng)常發(fā)生的。下面又是一個(gè)例子： 例句-5: "We were all laughing up our sleeves at our brother when he sat down at the dinner table. He'd seen his girl off at the airport and had lipstick on his face and didn't know it." 這個(gè)人說："當(dāng)我們的哥哥坐下吃晚飯的時(shí)候，我們都在偷偷地笑他，因?yàn)樗麆側(cè)C(jī)場送他的女朋友，臉上留下了口紅，他還不知道。 今天我們講了兩個(gè)和笑，也就是laugh這個(gè)字有關(guān)的習(xí)慣用語。 第一個(gè)是：Just for laughs，這是純屬為了取樂的意思。 第二個(gè)是：To laugh up one's sleeve，這是指暗暗發(fā)笑的意思。 「美國習(xí)慣用語」第二十五講就到里。歡迎下次再一起來學(xué)習(xí)美國習(xí)慣用語。再見。

美國習(xí)語: 提高警覺，欺騙別人

The beltway is very dangerous to drive on, especially during the rush hour. So be sure to keep your eyes peeled when you change lanes to pass one of those big trucks they call 18 wheelers. Joe, I'm going to have to drill this lock out of the door for us to get in. The drill will make some noise, so keep your eyes peeled for the cops. Poor Mr. Brown -- his partner certainly pulled the wool over his eyes. He had no idea the partner was stealing all the profits until the man suddenly left town. I won't vote for that politician again. I've seen him pull the wool over the eyes of the voters with lots of promises, but he never carries them out once he gets into office.

美國人似乎有不少用眼睛這個(gè)字，也就是英文里的eyes這個(gè)字組成的成語和俗語。我們曾經(jīng)在前面的課文中給大家介紹過eyes pop out，這是指某個(gè)人在感到十分驚奇的時(shí)候，眼睛睜得大大的，似乎連眼珠子都快掉出來了。但是，眼睛睜大的時(shí)候并不完全是出于驚奇。 比如說，當(dāng)你在交通十分擁擠的情況下開車的時(shí)候，你一定會(huì)很緊張。這時(shí)，你的眼睛就會(huì)張得大大的，注意地看周圍是否有危險(xiǎn)的情況。美國人有一個(gè)常用的俗語用來形容這種情景的: to keep one's eyes peeled. To keep one's eyes peeled實(shí)際上就是提高警覺的意思。住在華盛頓的人經(jīng)常會(huì)說： "The beltway is very dangerous to drive on, especially during the rush hour. So be sure to keep your eyes peeled when you change lanes to pass one of those big trucks they call eighteen wheelers." 這句話的意思是："在環(huán)繞華盛頓地區(qū)的這條高速公路上開車是非常危險(xiǎn)的，特別是上下班交通最忙的時(shí)候。所以，當(dāng)你要改換車道，超過那種十八個(gè)輪子大卡車的時(shí)候，你一定要十分警覺。" 有的時(shí)候，那些做壞事的罪犯也會(huì)用to keep one's eyes peeled這個(gè)俗語。下面就是一個(gè)例子： "Joe, I'm going to have to drill this lock out of the door for us to get in. The drill will make some noise, so keep your eyes peeled for the cops." 這個(gè)罪犯在做案的時(shí)候?qū)λ耐氛f："喬伊，我得把這門上的鎖鉆下來，這樣我們才能進(jìn)去。我鉆的時(shí)候會(huì)有聲音，所以你得睜大眼睛，注意看有沒有警察。" 要是你老是很警覺的話，也就是說要是你老是keep your eyes peeled，你就可能會(huì)避免受人蒙蔽。美國人經(jīng)常說: to have the wool pulled over one's eyes。 To have the wool pulled over one's eyes，這個(gè)習(xí)慣用語的意思就是：蒙蔽某人。美國是一個(gè)自由貿(mào)易的國家，但是在做生意的過程中受騙也是經(jīng)常發(fā)生的。下面有關(guān)一位黃先生的例子就能說明問題： "Poor Mr. Brown--his partner certainly pulled the wool over his eyes. He had no idea the partner was stealing all the profits until the man suddenly left town." 這句話的意思是："可憐的黃先生，和他合伙的人肯定欺騙了他。黃先生一直不知道那人在偷偷地把賺來的錢放到自己口袋里去，直到那人突然一走不返,這才使他恍然大悟。" To pull the wool over one's eyes這個(gè)俗語也可以用在其他方面，下面就是一個(gè)例子： "I won't vote for that politician again. I've seen him pull the wool over the eyes of the voters with lots of promises, but he never carries them out once he gets into office." 這句話翻到中文就是說："我不會(huì)再投那個(gè)政客的票了。我已經(jīng)看到他向選民們許好多愿來蒙蔽他們。但是，一旦當(dāng)選，他所作的保證一個(gè)也沒有兌現(xiàn)過。" 我們今天講解了兩個(gè)和eyes這個(gè)字有關(guān)的俗語，第一個(gè)是to have one's eyes peeled，這是指提高警覺。我們今天講的第二個(gè)俗語是to pull the wool over one's eyes，這是欺騙別人的意思。
