“五音不全”“跑调”“走调”的英语表达
“五音不全”严格来说叫“七音不全”才对，这是很中文化的说法，其实就是唱歌时“走调”“跑调”的意思，也有“唱歌很难听”的意思。
1. I am tone-deaf.
我分不清Do-re-mi-fa-suo有什么区别：音盲，五音不全。
下面，我们开始“用英语表达英语”练习英语的“五音不全”说法，意思都是“五音不全，跑调，走调，公鸭嗓，唱歌难听死了”的意思。
2. I can't carry a tune
= I am an aweful singer
= I have a horrible singing voice
= I have poor singing
= Why do you always go off-key in singing
3. tone-deaf还有“铁石心肠”“冷漠”“隔行如隔山”的意思：
If you are tone-deaf, you are unable to appreciate or understand the concerns or difficulties of others, you are out-of-touch.
