英語流行語學(xué)習(xí):拍馬屁用英語怎么說
大家都知道curry做名詞是咖哩的意思,不過在這里curry作為動(dòng)詞,意思是討好,奉承。而curry favor, 實(shí)際上就是拍馬屁。這也就是我鄰居最近的舉動(dòng),下面是小編收集整理的英語流行語學(xué)習(xí):拍馬屁用英語怎么說,歡迎閱讀!
拍馬屁 :
1、curry favor
2、
事例1:curry favor
I know why she came bearing fresh-backed cookies. I think its an attempt to CURRY FAVOR. 我知道我鄰居為什么給我送新鮮曲奇餅,我覺得她就是想拍我的馬屁。
在下面的例子里,這個(gè)人對他的市長有什么看法呢? 我們來聽聽看:
"Dont assume that the mayor has special fondness for you. If youre influential and can help her deliver on her campaign promises, shell compliment you, invite you out to dinner and treat you specially. The truth is she CURRIES FAVOR with anyone she considers to be important."
這段話是說:[千萬別認(rèn)為市長特別喜歡你。如果你有任何影響力,或者能夠幫助她實(shí)現(xiàn)競選承諾,她會(huì)恭維你,請你吃晚餐,給你很多特殊待遇。但事實(shí)是,如果她認(rèn)為你重要,她就會(huì)來拍你的馬屁。]
這聽起來很典型啊! 那天我上高中的侄女跟我說,她們學(xué)校里有個(gè)女生為了能參加啦啦隊(duì),不惜給教練買了一個(gè)特別昂貴的圣誕節(jié)禮物! 好了,我們再來聽聽剛才那段話:
"Dont assume that the mayor has special fondness for you. If youre influential and can help her deliver on her campaign promises, shell compliment you, invite you out to dinner and treat you very specially. The truth is she CURRIES FAVOR with anyone she considers to be very important."
大家都特別討厭愛拍馬屁的人。可是,學(xué)校里,社會(huì)中,到處都是這樣的人。在辦公室里就更不例外了! 下面的例子就談到了這么一個(gè)馬屁精,讓我們來聽聽看:
"Isnt it obvious why Ralph nominated our boss as "Supervisor of the Year"? He just wants to get himself promoted to foreman and figures the boss might help arrange it if hes recognized for an important award. See? That why hes CURRYING FAVOR with him. Its so disgusting."
[這段話是說: 難道你看不出來拉爾夫?yàn)槭裁刺崦蹅兊睦习鍨椤澳甓茸罴杨I(lǐng)導(dǎo)"么? 他想晉升為領(lǐng)班,而他知道如果老板自己能夠得到這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),可能就會(huì)幫助他得到領(lǐng)班的職位。這就是他為什么老是拍老板的馬屁。真令人惡心。]
真是! 辦公室政治真讓人頭疼。碰到這種拍馬屁的人,最好的辦法就是別理他。慢慢他就會(huì)被所有同事孤立,我想這也不是個(gè)好受的感覺。Hes always currying favor with the boss. But in the end, hes quite isolated in the office. 他成天拍老板的馬屁,不過最后,他在辦公室特別孤立。
事例2:flatter
給老板拍馬屁
toady to the boss;
令人惡心的拍馬屁
fulsome flattery;
給有錢有勢的人拍馬屁
fawn on a rich or powerful person;
他那副給有錢人拍馬屁的樣子叫人惡心。
His way of smarming up to the rich was disgusting.
聽到他拍馬屁, 我實(shí)在感到討厭。
