令雅思考官赞赏不绝的英式潮语
很多英式的地道表达在雅思口语考试中起着重要的作用。很多美国俚语(American Slang)在雅思口语(Ielts Speaking)考试中并不是那么的适宜,毕竟雅思口语是英国剑桥大学(Cambridge University ) 所创立。所以老师强烈建议在雅思口语的学习中多积累一些英式的expressions & phrases。尤其是idioms. 老师是每天阅读BBC News ,尤其是其中BBC英语教学的栏目,非常的不错,今天就给广大烤鸭们分享一些英式的地道表达( British English Expressions ).
如下都是引用的“BBC 英文教学”中的短语:
1) 今日短语 A shoo-in
可用来形容对于胜利十拿九稳的人或团队。注意:单词 "shoo" 的发音同“shoe 鞋子” 一样。
例句
Rachel thought she'd be a shoo-in for a promotion within the company.After such a successful role, the actor was a shoo-in for an award nomination.He's a shoo-in to win the next election. He'll win easily.
请注意
短语 to be in someone else's shoes 的意思是设身处地换位思考。
例句
If you were in her shoes, you wouldn't have gambled that money away.
2) 今日短语 如果说一个东西 as dead as dodo
意思就是这个东西已经不再重要了,过时了。我们通常使用这个短语来谈论思想或潮流。
例句
In the past people used to watch and record videos on VHS, but no that format is as dead as a dodo.
The perception that smoking is good for your health is now as dea as a dodo.
请注意
我们用 dead duck 来形容一件事情不怎么成功。
例句
Frank's coffee shop business was a dead duck sadly. His coffee was just awful, and the shop was in a bad location.
