英国留学生不得不知道的常见俚语

  说起英语中的俚语,真心让我们这些英语非母语的人头疼。上学的时候,英语老师教过我们一句俚语:raining cats and dogs。如果不懂这句话意思的小伙伴,听到有人说“It's raining cats and dogs out there”,肯定第一件事就是拿起手机拍照吧——天上下猫和狗啦!但是,这句话的真正含义是:外面的雨很大。据说是因为17世纪的时候,英国有些城市雨太大了,街道都淹了,导致很多猫猫和狗狗都淹死了而浮在被水淹没的街道上。虽然这是一个悲伤的俚语,但是也说明学会一些俚语以后,不仅会让你的英语更地道,还能了解好多故事呢。今天出国留学网来给大家安利一些英国人才懂的俚语,大家偶尔甩几个出来肯定惊艳全场。

  如果大家平时看英剧很多的话,可能早就发现英国人真的很爱用俚语。很多人说,英式英语中这么多俚语主要是因为英国人很喜欢讽刺,而且直接说脏话有辱绅士作风,所以创造了这么多俚语。毕竟这些俚语听起来就觉得:So British!最后给大家推荐一个学习现代俚语的好网站,相信很多小伙伴都知道,就是Urban Dictionary。Urban Dictionary中文译名为“城市词典”,是一个美国在线俚语词典,该词典收录了很多常规词典里面查不到的流行英文俚语俗语
