1）unwind 例句： I’m beat. We need to unwind. Let’s get a drink. 我累死了，得好好放松下。我们出去喝一杯吧。 Wind 有上紧钟表的发条的意思，那么unwind也就是“松开、解开”，用在这里就是“放松”的意思。 2）mellow out You need to mellow out a bit. Don’t get yourself so overworked. 你得好好歇口气啦。别工作得太累了。 3） let your hair down Vincent’s been feeling so stressed these months, but he can’t let his hair down until the end of March. Vincent这几个月在重压之下疲惫不堪，可是三月底前他都不能松口气。 这个句子源于“女人”在工作和社交场合之外放下盘起的头发，不在拘束，自由自在，后来用于表示“放松、松懈下来”。当然也可以用于男性，虽然我现在是光头。 4）Put your feet up Vincent worked evenings preparing the next day’s presentation. His colleagues came over to his cubicle asking him to go get some late night snack: “Hey, don’t be so committed, u need to put your feet up a bit. Let’s go get a bite”。 “Who’s paying？ You said you would get it this time” “Oh, boy. I forgot to bring my wallet in the morning” “Look into my eyes and say that again” Vincent那晚加班准备第二天的简报，他的同事走到他的位置上，叫他出去吃点夜宵. “诶，别这么卖力，做劳模又不给奖金，歇一会儿。出去吃点东西” “谁请客呀？你说过这次你请的“ “哎呀！我早上忘带钱包了！“ “看着我的眼睛，再说一遍你没带钱包” 5）Chill out When I’ve got a lot on my mind, I prefer to chill out a bit with a coffee with friends. 当我心事很多的时候，我喜欢和朋友们喝杯咖啡放松下。 He chooses to chill out in his beach house. 他选择在自己的海滨别墅里放松神经。 6） R&R (=relax/rest and recreation) Hey. I’m new here. Do you know where I can get some R&R after work? 嘿。我是新来的。你知道这边下班后有什么休闲的场所吗？ ７）loosen up Vincent cracked up some sick and silly jokes in the class, to get his students loosen up a bit. It turned out that, it literally sicked a girl out. Vincent为了让舒缓下课堂气氛，讲了几个又恶又傻的笑话。结果一个女生真的被恶到了。 8）Kick back I was working my ass off when my boss kicked back in the pub. 我玩命地工作的时候我老板竟然在酒馆里悠哉游哉。 On the weekend, I can kick back and relax, but I dread going back to work when the weekend is over. 周末的时候我可以停止干活好好放松下，可是一想到周一要上班我就万念俱灰/很害怕。 When I want to kick back and relax, I usually flip on the TV and see what’s on. 我想放松下神经的时候，通常会打开电视机看看有啥好节目。 ---------------------------------- 搜索微信订阅号：英语爱好者 关注后即可预约外教 免费试听！ |
