桔子在刷《权力的游戏》时看到了这么一句 The people always do the dirty work 脏活总是人民在做 桔子一开始把dirty work真的当成“脏活”了 比如扫厕所。。。。 其实它并不是这样的 很多人都会面临不得不做dirty work的时候 Dirty work是指做那些让人不愉快的,很讨厌的,或者是很不讨好的工作。 EG: Until you needed someone to do your dirty work. 直到你需要有人来给你收拾烂摊子。 My boss does all the traveling. I get all the dirty work to do. 我的老板负责旅行。我负责所有脏活。 对于 dirty 只认识到 “肮脏” 是很局限的,今天一起来学习更多关于dirty的地道用语吧! 先来看看词典里对于dirty 的描述: dirty的总体意思是偏贬义的,因此一些关于dirty的俚语也多偏贬义。 这个短语表示欺诈虚伪的人 EG: Your agent seems like a dirty dog, so I wouldn't sign any contract he gives you. 你的代理人是个虚伪小人,所以他给你的合同我都不会签。 dirty look 瞪眼;怒容;不悦的表情 常见搭配: get a dirty look 被摆臭脸,被瞪了一眼 give someone a dirty look 给某人厌恶的眼神,给某人摆臭脸 EG: I got a dirty look from the teacher when I cracked a joke in class. 我在课堂上讲了个笑话,被老师狠狠地瞪了一眼 这个词组主要在英国听到,是“非常大” 的意思。 EG: I can't open the door because there's a dirty big mound of snow blocking it. 我打不开门,因为有一大堆雪挡住了门。 dirty-mouth直接翻译就是“脏嘴”,再往深处想,嘴为什么脏呢? 因为它老是说脏话,说别人的坏话 EG: Please stop dirty-mouthing my friends. 请停止说我朋友的坏话。 dirty deal 不公平的交易 EG: I got a dirty deal at that shop, and I won’t go back. 我在那家商店受到了不公平的待遇,我不会再去了。 这个词组表示做一些很累的事情(通常指体力活);做不合法的事情 EG: I really appreciate you guys getting your hands dirty and helping us move. 我真的很感激你们不辞辛苦帮我们搬家。 Get了这么多关于dirty的俚语,我们再来聊一聊“work”吧!这里有一些与努力工作相关的习语,我们已经为你整理好了。 Meaning: a lot of effort and suffering. 很多努力和心血 EG: It must have taken the author’s blood, sweat, and tears to write this really good novel. 这本非常棒的小说一定花了作者的心血、汗水和眼泪。 Meaning: to use a lot of effort to oppose someone or achieve something. 猛烈作战 EG: He’s fighting tooth and nail to get good result by the end of this term. 他正在竭尽全力争取在这个学期末取得好成绩。 Meaning: to do more and make a greater effort than is expected of you. 做比期望的多得多的努力 EG: I have achieved the monthly sale goal, but there is nothing wrong with going the extra mile to get more items sold. 我已经完成了每月的销售目标,但是多花点心思去销售更多的商品当然更好。 Meaning: to start working very hard. 开始拼命工作 EG: As this term reach its end, the students go into overdrive and review their notes every day. 这学期快结束了,学生们每天都开足马力复习笔记。 Meaning: to continue to work very hard without stopping.埋头苦干 EG: She has been keeping her nose to grindstone for the test next week. 她一直在埋头苦干,为下周的考试做准备。 Meaning: to make progress.取得进展 EG: Vivian continues to make headway to become a good teacher.
