第9課:幽默的 - 5
【迷你小對話】
A: Can you believe Mr. White came to work dressed like a woman today? That rates a laugh for sure. I can’t believe his wife let him borrow her clothes!
B: What’s really funny is that we didn’t recognize him. We welcomed the beautiful young lady! That was a good one on me. I nearly died laughing.
A: That cracked me up to. That Mr. White is always a million laughs!
A: 你相信嗎?White先生今天來上班時打扮得像個女人!搞笑死了!真是不敢相信他妻子竟然會同意把她的衣服借給他。
B: 更有趣的是我們沒認出他來,還把他當作一位漂亮的年輕女士款待。真是好笑,我都要笑死了。
A: 我也笑得肚皮都快破了。那位White先生總是能制造出這么多笑料!
【語言點精講】
rate a laugh: rate在這里的意思是“值得”。用來形容某人或某事很搞笑,但是語氣不是很強烈。
die laughing: 用來形容聽到或看到極搞笑的人或事之后的反應,“笑死了,笑得上不來氣”。這是個語氣很強的褒義短語。
crack up: 忍不住大笑。
a million laughs: 用來形容某人或某事非常的有趣。是個褒義短語,但多少有些過時。
