新手学英语短语
我们写出来的英语经常会显得非常啰嗦,但是看老外写的就非常简洁,其中有有一个原因有些名词可以直接做动词用,我们却不熟悉而采用更加冗长的表达方法。
比如我有一次我想表达excel里面的一个条件格式,如果超出规格就会显示黄色。
我写的
Its color becomes yellow as a warning.
老外写的
It is colored yellow as a warning.
查了一下发现color原来可以做动词,给….着色的意思 。
另外一个常见是email,也可以做动词,这个可能大家都知道:
1)He sent me an email this morning.
2)He emailed me this morning.
这两种表达都可以。
最近一个很久没见过的美国同事过来了,另外一个美国同事问我们
Did you party with him?
原来 party也可以做动词, = have a party
搞机械的小伙伴可能知道machine这个词,是机加工的意思,也就是车(turning),铣(milling),钻(drilling) 等这些机床加工。
比如,
- 这些零件是机加工的。
-These parts are machined.
经常看电影小伙伴也知道,star也不一定是明星的意思,还有 由...主演的意思.
例如:
- Netflix has declined to say what prompted the decision to end its popular drama House of Cards starring Kevin Spacey, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by a fellow actor.
- 奈飞拒绝透露砍掉由凯文史派西主演的政治剧《纸牌屋》的原因。
比起 whose hero is Kevin Spacey 是不是简洁多了
007系列电影里有一部叫杀人执照(License to kill), 剧中经常提到
- James Bond, licensed to kill= who was given license to kill
License做动词用是 给...颁发执照
还有很多这样类似的词,并没有有一定的规律,靠平时自己留心。
