前言
表达忘记,“forget”是我们最常用的词,因为这是最早学到的关于“忘记”的表达。但在英语口语里面,还有一些外国人常用的更地道的表示“我忘了”的表达,我们一起来看一下!
1、slip one’s mind/memory
Jack: Where did u put my book?
Jack:你把我书放哪里去了?
Mike:Whoops. It slips my mind. It should be in your study
Mike:我忘了,好像是放你书房那里了。
Jack:Nope. There is nowhere to be found.
Jack:没,哪里都找不到。
Mike:Sorry, Jack, it’s my bad. I will buy a new one for you.
Mike:不好意思,Jack,我的错。我会再给你买本新的。
My bad:我的错
表达歉意时,“my fault”、“my mistake”是常用的短语,但也可以说“my bad”。据说,这种用法起源于篮球运动,当球员犯规或者球出界后,往往会脱口而出“mybad”表示歉意。现在则是人们犯不严重错误时的道歉用语。 (来源:胥桂岺)
2、one’s memory is foggy
Peter:Hey, Josh, Do you still remember Jane?
Peter:Hey, Josh, 你还记得Jane吗?
Josh : Sorry. My memory is foggy. I think she kind of had long hair maybe?
Josh:抱歉,不是很记得了。她是不是长头发的(女孩)?
Peter:You’re absolutely wrong. She had short hairs. People like to call her Tomboy cuz she exhibits character and behaviors like a boy including wearing masculine clothing and engaging in games and activities that are physical in nature and are considered in many cultures to be unfeminine.
Peter:你搞错了,她是短头发的。人们总是叫她“假小子”,因为她的表现实在太像一个男孩子了。比如她总是穿显示男子气概的衣服,参加各种比较耗费体力的游戏或者活动,而这些活动在许多地方被认为是不适合女生从事的。
Josh:Oh, I got it. She is such a nice girl. It’s really mean to call her “tomboy”.
Josh:我想起来了。她是一个非常好的女孩,叫她“假小子”实在太刻薄了。
3、lose sight of 忘记;忽略;看不见
Eg. Never lose sight ofyour goal.
你不要忘记你的目标。
Eg. In no case should we lose sight of our mission.
无论如何,我们都不能忘记我们的使命。
4、nothing comes to mind
Eg. I try to recall it butnothing comes to mind.
我努力去回想,但是什么都记不起了。
