美国人平时生活上所用的一些口头禅,其实字句都很简单,但是如果不加说明,往往还会让人一知半解或似懂非懂。下面所举的例子,即是常常听到的一些美语口头禅。
1. I couldn't care less.
这句话的意思是“我不在乎”,“缺乏兴趣(lack of interest)”,也就是:I don't care at all. 或 I don't give a hoot.
例如:人家如果问:What do you think of the budget-cut?(你对预算削减有何看法?)
你回答:I couldn't care less.(我毫不在乎)
How do you like Mr. Lee's political point of view?(你喜欢李先生的政见吗?)
I couldn't care less.(我才不在乎呢!)
2. No bones about it.
意思是:真实的,诚恳的(truly, sincerely or exactly),也就是 to make no bones about it.(bone 要加 s, it 是指 something)例如:
