口语：无语 Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是小北要问的：无语。 Jessica: Xiaobei! You look upset. What happened? Yiru: 别提了!我有个朋友欠钱不还，拖了好长时间了，每次都找各种理由搪塞我!气死我了，以前我还和她理论，现在我简直是简直是无语了我! Jessica: I see. Youre so tired of your friends excuses that you are speechless. XB: Speechless?原来这就是无语的意思。 Jessica: Yes. For example, you can say she was speechless after learning her boyfriend was dating another woman. XB: 哦，知道男友跟别的女生交往后，她气得说不出话来。 Jessica: Exactly. Basically, you can use speechless to mean something so bad or so surprising that you dont know what to say. XB: I see. 跟你说，我认识一个女生，她特别虚伪，总是假惺惺地称赞别人，转过头来就说人坏话。Every time I see her being so fake, Im speechless! Jessica: I bet you also roll your eyes! XB: Roll my eyes? Jessica: If you roll your eyes, youre showing that you dont believe someone or you arent interested in what theyre saying. |
