美国习惯用语-第244讲:free and easy
<p>美国习惯用语-第244讲:<span word="free">free</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="easy">easy</span></p><p>我们今天再来给大家讲解两个以<span word="free">free</span>这个字为主的习惯用语。首先我们要讲氖牵篎<span word="ree">ree</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="easy">easy</span>. 大家都知道，<span word="free">free</span>是自由，或者是不用花钱就得到的。大家也可能很熟悉<span word="easy">easy</span>这个字。一般的解释是：容易。但是它也能指一个人很平易近人，容易接近。</p><p>要是有人说某某人是<span word="free">free</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="easy">easy</span>，那么这个人一定是很轻松自如，很能宽容别人，也很好相处。在一般情况下，这样处世也不错，至少周围的人会喜欢这种人。下面就是一个例子。</p><p>例句1: <span word="Jeff">Jeff</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="free">free</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="easy">easy</span> <span word="man">man</span>, <span word="almost">almost</span> <span word="everybody">everybody</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="office">office</span> <span word="likes">likes</span> <span word="him">him</span>. <span word="He">He</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="handy">handy</span> <span word="guy">guy</span> <span word="always">always</span> <span word="ready">ready</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="help">help</span> <span word="out">out</span>. <span word="He">He</span> <span word="even">even</span> <span word="lends">lends</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="hand">hand</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="once">once</span> <span word="sabotaged">sabotaged</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="chance">chance</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="promotion">promotion</span>.</p><p>大家是否注意到，这个句子里有两个字：<span word="handy">handy</span> <span word="guy">guy</span>。<span word="Handy">Handy</span> <span word="guy">guy</span>翻译到中文就是手很巧的人。<span word="Handy">Handy</span>在英文里，就是手这个字，也就是<span word="hand">hand</span>后面加一个<span word="y">y</span>，意思就是手很巧的。<span word="Guy">Guy</span>是一个非常口语的字。意思是人。人们常说：<span word="He">He</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="nice">nice</span> <span word="guy">guy</span>。那就是说：他是一个很好的人。</p><p>我们现在来看看上面这个例句到底在说什么。很明显，讲话的人是在说一个同事。</p><p>这人说：杰夫这个人真是很随和，我们办公室里几乎每个人都喜欢他。他的手很巧。他也随时愿意帮忙。他甚至对那些曾经抢走他被提升机会的人他也愿意帮忙。</p>
