美国习惯用语-第287讲:各种宴会
<p>今天要讲的习惯用语属于同一个主题，<span word="party">party</span>，也就是聚会或者宴会。美国有不少人热中于参加<span word="party">party</span>，所以和这些社交场合相关的俗语或者习惯用语也特别丰富多彩。我们今天要学的第一个是：<span word="blow">blow</span>-<span word="out">out</span>。<span word="Blow">Blow</span>和<span word="out">out</span>之间用连词符号连接。<span word="Blow">Blow</span>-<span word="out">out</span>是指排场豪华的宴会，主人举办<span word="blow">blow</span>-<span word="out">out</span>得花不少钱来款待客人。比方说，盛大的婚宴就是<span word="blow">blow</span>-<span word="out">out</span>，很多新娘的爸妈都尽可能光彩地把宝贝女儿送上新生活。我们要听一段关于婚宴的话，但是先得学几个生词：<span word="orchestra">orchestra</span>，这是乐队。好。我们来听这段话吧。</p><p>例句-1: <span word="Sallys">Sallys</span> <span word="wedding">wedding</span> <span word="reception">reception</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="real">real</span> <span word="blow">blow</span>-<span word="out">out</span>. <span word="More">More</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="three">three</span> <span word="hundred">hundred</span> <span word="guests">guests</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="best">best</span> <span word="food">food</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="drink">drink</span>, <span word="a">a</span> <span word="big">big</span> <span word="orchestra">orchestra</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="dancingit">dancingit</span> <span word="must">must</span> <span word="cost">cost</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="father">father</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="money">money</span>.</p><p>这段话说，<span word="Sally">Sally</span>的婚宴非常豪华，有三百多来宾，最精美的饮食，还请了大型乐队为跳舞伴奏，<span word="Sally">Sally</span>的爸爸一定为这次婚宴花了好多钱。</p><p>从这段话里我们可以体会<span word="blow">blow</span>-<span word="out">out</span>是排场豪华的宴会。</p><p>我们还要学一个美国人说狂欢聚会的词：<span word="wing">wing</span>-<span word="ding">ding</span>。<span word="Wing">Wing</span>-<span word="ding">ding</span>和<span word="blow">blow</span>-<span word="out">out</span> 一样也是复合词。它们之间也由连词符号连接。<span word="Wing">Wing</span>-<span word="ding">ding</span>是指兴奋喧闹的聚会。这样的聚会当时令人乐得忘乎。所以，事后又使人回味无穷。<span word="Wing">Wing</span>-<span word="ding">ding</span>这个词的出典已经难以查考，但是它用在日常会话中已经有七十五年以上的历史了。下面我们要听一个例子。说话的人在向朋友描述他公司举办的一次新年晚会。</p>
