所谓“女汉子” 近来以“女汉子”自居的女孩子多了起来,女汉子原本是指那些性格大大咧咧、举止彪悍的姑娘们,不过现在也有人给“女汉子”设置了一定的外貌门槛,要么高瘦,要么白美。那么, “女汉子”英文怎么说呢? Chinese actress Ma Su on her Weibo said,“It would be better to be a female with men’s body among men than competing wisdom among females”which was forwarded more than 15,000 times.中国女演员马苏曾在微博上写道:“宁愿在男人堆里做个女汉子,也不愿在女人堆里玩脑子。” 这条微博被转发超过 1.5万次。 “女汉子”可以翻译成 tough girl或 cowgirl,因为相对于仅是外表上分不清男女的 tomboy(假小子),她们还有独立自强的一面,不然也不会有这么多女孩争当“女汉子”了。也有人很形象地把女汉子的英文表达写作 wo-man,虽然外表上还是和女性 woman没有区别,但是一条横杠把 wo和 man隔开了,由此说明她也具备 man的特点。 “女汉子”通常都没有男朋友,男人在她眼中都是 bromeo(男闺蜜)。她们不喜欢逛街,不爱化妆,更喜欢吃泡面、打游戏。一手提一箱牛奶一手提一袋米,自己扛行李、修东西,这些都是女汉子们必备的技能。和“女汉子”相反的是 girly girl ——“软妹子”。 自拍会成“瘾” 自拍不但会上瘾,而且自拍瘾还是一种病。一名 19岁男孩就因为自拍成瘾而试图自杀,原因是拍不出完美的自拍照。所以,喜欢自拍的姑娘、小伙子们要小心,可不要成为 selfie addict(自拍瘾君子)呀。 A 19-year-old boy addicted to taking selfies tried to commit suicide after failing to capture aperfect image of himself, the Daily Mail of London reported. The boy’s addiction, which began atthe age of 15, caused him to drop out of school and lose almost two stone in weight.据伦敦《每日邮报》报道,一名对自拍极度上瘾的 19岁男孩因无法拍到完美的自拍照而试图自杀。这个男孩的自拍瘾始于 15岁时,自拍上瘾导致他辍学,体重也掉了近 28磅。 When he failed to take the flawless shot, he tried to kill himself by taking an overdose butwas saved by his mother. The selfie addict has now had therapy to treat his technology addiction,OCD and Body dysmorphic disorder — an excessive anxiety about personal appearance.当他怎么也无法拍到完美无瑕的自拍照后,他试图服用过量药物自杀,但被其母亲救下。这名自拍上瘾者现在正在治疗他的科技依赖症、强迫症和身体畸形恐惧症,身体畸形恐惧症表现为对个人外貌的极度焦虑。 你是桌边神游族吗? 在英语中,那些成天赖在沙发上看电视、不爱动弹的人叫做 couch potato。自从有了网络以后,有相当一部分人已经放弃了 couch potato的身份,转而加入了 desk potato的行列。 Desk potato is someone who sits at a desk all day long but gets little to nothing done — usual⁃ly because of websurfing or playing computer games. The term is derived from couch potato. Deskpotato(桌边神游族)指整天坐在书桌边,却不见有任何事情完成的人 ——通常都是因为他们成天都在上网闲逛或玩游戏。这个词语源自 couch potato一词。 For example: Jim has become a real desk potato. Between Mahjong and Minesweeper he man⁃ages to squeeze in a few hours on MySpace, and then he plays RPG’s(Role-playing game)’til mid⁃night.例如:吉姆已经成了不折不扣的“桌边神游族”。除了玩麻将和踩地雷游戏,他还会抽出几小时上 MySpace,然后就一直玩角色扮演游戏到半夜。 |
