看你是哪一种人
jerk 差劲、没品的人
A: Can you believe that? David sold the bike that he borrowed from me to somebody else.
A: 你相信吗? David 把相我借的自行车卖人啦。
B: Really? What a jerk !
B: 真的吗? 好差劲的人啊!
英汉字典都 "jerk" 是「愚蠢的人」。 其实 "jerk" 在美语中(形容人时)是用来指「差劲」、 「没品」的人。
good Samaritan 仁慈心善的人
"Good Samaritan" (仁慈心善的人)一词是源于圣经的一段耶稣与一个撒马利亚妇人的故事而来的。耶稣在传福音时路经撒马利亚。祂因走路困乏, 就坐在井边休息。正好遇见一撒马利亚妇人来打水, 于是耶稣向她要水喝。在当时, 撒马利亚人和犹太人是一向互不往来的, 然而这名妇人却给了身为犹太人的耶稣水喝。耶稣也藉此机会和这为妇人谈福音。(整段故事可见翰福音四章)后来的人就因这段故事, 把 Good Samaritan 引申为仁慈心善的人。
 
bastard 王八蛋
A: Some bastard stole my credit number to purchase a vacuum cleaner?.
A: 某个王八蛋盗用我的信用卡号买了个吸尘器。
B: That sucks.
B: 怎么那么差劲!
骂人的字还真不少, 这些字看看就好了, 可不要拿来骂人啊!
 
dirty old man 老色鬼
A: Hey! Your baby sister is quite a cutie.
A: 嘿! 你小妹长得真是满可爱(漂亮)的。
B: Leave her alone. You dirty old man.
B: 你少碰她! 老色鬼!
"dirty old man" 也指那种有「恋童症」的人。
 
mean (心眼儿; 态度)坏; 凶
After I told him that I wasn't going to buy the car, the salesman became very mean towards me.
我跟那个汽车销售员说我并不打算买那不车后, 他变的对我态度恶劣。
"mean" 是用来表示态度或心眼儿不好很常用的字。好比有人故意做些雪上加霜的事, 就可以说"He is a mean person." (他这个人很坏)。抱起朋友家的猫, 结果被猫抓了一把, 朋友也可以对猫说: "You're a mean cat."
 

noodle, noodlehead 傻子
A: You don't put aluminum-foil in the microwave oven, noodlehead! You could've started a fire.
A: 你不可以(不应该)把铝箔纸放到微波炉里去的! 你有可能引起一场火灾的。
B: I didn't know that.
B: 我不知道的嘛!
"noodle" 除了常见的复数形当「面条」外, 单数形还有「傻瓜」的意思。它和这里的 "noodlehead" 都是「傻瓜」的意思。
 
yellow-belly 胆小鬼
A: Aaaaaah! Who is there?
A: 哇呀! 谁在那儿?
B: Norton, you yellow-belly. That's your own shadow.
B: Norton, 你这胆小鬼。那是你自己的影子啊!
还没碰到那个美国人知道为什么"yellow-belly"(黄肚皮)是「胆小鬼」 (coward) 的意思。还有一个我们比较熟悉的字意相近的字是"chicken", 也是有「胆小」、「过于害羞」的意思。
 
snob 自负的人; 攀龙附凤的人
A: Why don't you talk to Barnett any more?
A: 你为什么不再和 Barnett 讲话了呢?
B: I don't hang out with snobs.
B: 我不和自大的人作朋友(在一起)的。
"snob" 是指因自己的财势或成就而「眼睛长在头上」的人。你也以说这些人"full of themselves", 因为他们满脑子里都是「我真了不起!」的想法。
"snob" 也可以指对谄上傲下的人。
 
(old) fossil 古板守旧的人
A: I can't believe that fossil downstairs called the police about the noise.
A: 我不敢相信楼下那个化石(守旧的人)因为这点声音(噪音)就打电话报警了!
B: He could've talked to you about it.
B: 他可以跟你讲一下嘛。
"a fossil"「化石」来形容人的古板。
 
down-to-earth 实在的
A: I had a chance to chat with Dr. Lee last time. I was totally surprised to find out that a famous person like him can be so down-to-earth.
A: 我上次有機會跟 Dr. Lee 閒聊。 我很驚訝地發現一個像他這樣有名氣的人竟然可以這樣的真實純樸。
B: Really? Tell me more about it.
B: 真的啊? 再跟我多講一點!
 
sweet 替人设想的
A: I knew you couldn't make it last night so I've got some of the food from the party saved up for you.
A: 我知道你昨晚不能来, 所以我把聚会吃的东西留了一些起来给你。
B: You did? Oh! That's so sweet of you, Carol.
B: 真的啊? Carol, 妳真是太好了!
形容一个人的心地好的字眼常用的有像"nice"、"kind"等等。"sweet" 这个字可以用在男或女的身上。 当我们说"She's a very sweet person." 就是来形容这个人的个性中有喜欢替别人设想的特质。
