[摘要]近日,一名自稱(chēng)是“幼師孕婦”的女子在武漢街頭下跪乞討,為了證明自己有文化,擺在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的乞討詞竟然是中英文?說(shuō)到乞討大家可能想到的只有“beg”,今天告訴大家一個(gè)新的單詞“panhandling”. 【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)插播】 說(shuō)到乞討,大家可能想到的只有“beg”這個(gè)詞,英語(yǔ)(精品課)君今天告訴大家一個(gè)新的單詞“panhandling”,這個(gè)詞作為名詞,意思為“平底鍋柄”,而作為動(dòng)詞,意思則是“向...乞討,行乞”,例如:These regulations include establishing "prohibited areas", prohibiting "aggressive panhandling'and public space occupying and so on. 管制措施包括設(shè)置"禁討區(qū)"、禁止"侵犯性乞討"以及禁止占用城市的公共場(chǎng)所等。 現(xiàn)如今,當(dāng)多少人還在為英語(yǔ)抓耳撓腮,愁眉不展的時(shí)候,人家乞丐行乞都雙語(yǔ),而且這么有文化,乞丐都與國(guó)際接軌了。 【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)插播】 文中的“抓耳撓腮”用英語(yǔ)可以表達(dá)為“scratching one's head”,例如:他急得抓耳撓腮也想不出辦法來(lái)。 He was very anxious and scratched his head but failed to think of a way out.) 當(dāng)然,一些人看了會(huì)一笑了之,甚至有的還小聲說(shuō)是騙人的。事件被曝光后,引起了媒體的廣泛關(guān)注,網(wǎng)友表示:?jiǎn)螁文靡粋€(gè)中英文就搞死一批人??! 【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)插播】 文中的“一笑了之”用英語(yǔ)可以表達(dá)為“l(fā)augh away”,而且多指通過(guò)笑或者假裝被逗了來(lái)處理問(wèn)題。例如:Laughter really is the best medicine, and if you can laugh away the stress, your outlook for the rest of the day will be a lot more rosy. 笑是最好的藥,如果你能笑對(duì)壓力,那么你這一天剩下的時(shí)間就會(huì)過(guò)得很美好了。) 小時(shí)候父母總是教導(dǎo)我們,如果不好好讀書(shū),將來(lái)就要當(dāng)乞丐。但在,當(dāng)今的社會(huì)發(fā)展如此迅速,也許不好好讀書(shū)連乞丐都當(dāng)不了。圖片中的小學(xué)生面色凝重,頓時(shí)壓力山大,有木有,有木有…… 下面便是“幼師孕婦”中英文版本的乞討詞,字跡也算工整??墒牵篒 is a *&%……¥#teachers。Laid-off husband C%¥# after company Work.

But the same woman was spotted being driven away from a San Diego shopping mall where she was begging in a $35,000 Mercedes-Benz.一張令人心寒的照片:照片中一位懷孕的婦女和一個(gè)孩子用一個(gè)“請(qǐng)求幫助”的牌子乞討。但是同一個(gè)女人被發(fā)現(xiàn)駕駛一輛35000美元的奔馳駛離她行乞的圣地亞哥購(gòu)物商場(chǎng)。 你信了,說(shuō)明世界上還是好人多;你不信,說(shuō)明好人也不笨。 |
