Donny在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是方方要问的：牛。 Donny: FF, I heard you went to a ballroom dance competition yesterday. How did it go? FF: 我进决赛啦!怎么样，牛吧? Donny: 牛?A cow? FF: 不是，“牛就是特别厉害，very good! Donny: I got it. In English, we use the word "awesome", a-w-e-s-o-m-e, awesome. FF: 哦，awesome就是说特牛。 Donny: You can also use the word "ballin". b-a-l-l-i-n, ballin. It also means "cool or very good". FF: 哦，Ballin也是“很牛的意思。Donny, 那天的跳舞比赛上还真有不少高手。在这种情况下，我可以跟他们说，“You're awesome!或者“You're ballin!对么? Donny: That's right. You can also say "you rule" or "you rock!" FF: rule, r-u-l-e, rule; rock, r-o-c-k, rock, 这两个词也可以形容某人或某事很牛，不过它们都是动词，对不对? Donny: Exactly! For example, 如果你看了一场特别牛的演唱会，you can say "it rocks!" or "it rules!" FF: 明白了。不过那天也有一些人在比赛前一副不可一世的样子，可真跳起来，也不怎么样，真不知道他们有什么好牛的!对了，形容这些人，也用awesome或是ballin么? |
