(单词翻译:单击)

1. Give it a shot! 试试看!

A: It would be so cool if I can win this contest. I don't think I'm good enough, though.
要是我能赢了这项比赛的话该有多好。但我不认为自己足够好。

B: Give it a shot! You'll never know.
试试看啊!没试怎么会知道!

说到"试试看",大家一定都会想到"have a try"或是"give it a try"吧,当然这两个都是对的,这里我们再给大家提供一个"give it a shot"。"Cool"是"很棒"的意思。"You'll never know." 是"你不知道会怎么样"的意思。

2. Work one's butt1 off 很努力地(做一件事)

A: I can't believe all my work is gone just like this. I've worked my butt off on this all day.
我不敢相信我的心血就这样丢掉了!我今天一整天辛辛苦苦都在搞这个!

B: What happened? Computer crashed?
怎么啦?计算机当了吗?

发现美语里不少口语都跟"butt"(屁屁)有关,像 "kick ass2"、"kiss ass"(点击查看:Kick ass 了不起)。 这里的"work one's butt off" 也是。不过,努力工作和屁股有什么关系呢?也许是坐太久屁股酸了吧。

改编自:考试吧
