He is adorable. Beautiful baby! 逗一兩歲的小孩時(shí)，人們常說：Peek-a-boo, I see you.給小孩說再見：See you later, alligator! 32 Yes

13、, 這是現(xiàn)在的小學(xué)生都會(huì)的單詞。但是大學(xué)英語專業(yè)的人有時(shí)也搞錯(cuò)，例如，對(duì)于對(duì)方的否定句表示贊同時(shí)，很多時(shí)候，很多人仍舊會(huì)回答yes，而不會(huì)說no。英語中表示同意的詞很多，如果實(shí)在無法立馬反應(yīng)過來，不妨用其他的詞。Absolutely, OK, you are right, exactly, certainly, yep, aye, just so, sure, right, correct, you said it. I agree with you, 常用的還有sweat, you bet。或者你可以說：I hear you.你說的我明白。說no的詞也有好幾個(gè)：nope, I dont th

16、sit a new place. 我則可以回答：“Trust me. I wont. Ill keep you posted.”（沒問題，我不會(huì)忘記的，我會(huì)隨時(shí)讓你知道我的近況。）post當(dāng)動(dòng)詞用，則是“郵寄，轉(zhuǎn)遞”，keep someone posted意思是keep in touch with someone, or touch base with someone often。只是很可惜，現(xiàn)在的中國(guó)郵局大部分都不辦理郵政業(yè)務(wù)，而是成為銀行了，所以信也沒法寄。Drop by的意思是，順便訪問（沒有計(jì)劃的那種訪問。）Please drop by sometime for a drink. -

17、I dropped by my best friends house to see if he was home. 不要朋友寫信，就叫朋友打電話好了：Give me a buzz. or Give me a ring. 都可以。35 上一篇中提到了一個(gè)詞soul mate，是那種心靈感應(yīng)的朋友，也可以用heart,例如說，sweat heart，但這指戀人或關(guān)系特別密切的人。a heart to heart chat很誠(chéng)懇的溝通。I tried to have a heart to heart chat with him on this issue, but it didnt work. 我費(fèi)

18、了一番力氣想與他坦誠(chéng)溝通，但沒有什么用。36 他喝醉了。英文有好些說法，很口語化的是：He is loaded. 就是drunk的意思。"When I talked to the president, he was loaded." Kissinger said about Nixon. 基辛格談到尼克松時(shí)說：“我跟總統(tǒng)談話時(shí)，他已經(jīng)喝得爛醉。”under the influence of alcohol也是喝醉了的意思，但這是個(gè)法律詞匯，意思是犯法了，尤其是在開車時(shí)，如果查出了司機(jī)是under the influence of alcohol則可能要坐牢。而drunk,

19、loaded雖是醉酒，但不違法。很書面語的詞匯是“intoxicated, intoxication”。寫到這里，我想起了昆明巫家壩機(jī)場(chǎng)的一副廣告：令人陶醉的地方-云南（大意），旁邊的英語是：Intoxication: Yunnan. 這是典型的中式英語，外國(guó)人看了不知所云，聽上去好像是云南人都是酒鬼一樣。正確的英文應(yīng)該是：The most attractive place: Yunnan;也可以說：Breathtaking scenery:Yunnan.37 He is a little bit punchy. 如果一個(gè)人晚上睡眠不足，早晨起來睡眼惺忪的樣子，我們可以說他punchy.所以可

20、以接著說：He needs a cup of coffee to wake up. 一個(gè)人看上去云里霧里的樣子都是punchy，與喝醉酒貌差不多。38 與load還有一個(gè)相關(guān)的口語詞：freeloading, 揩油，濫用別人的慷慨。My roommate wont pay anything for the grocery. I end up feeding him three meals. I am really fed up with his freeloading.(他這樣揩我的油我實(shí)在是受不了。)揩油的人就叫“freeloader”，就是那種喜歡免費(fèi)的午餐的人（those who enj

21、oy free lunch）。39 市場(chǎng)上有很多關(guān)于學(xué)英語訣竅的書，但實(shí)際上，學(xué)英語就是一個(gè)背單詞、與遺忘作斗爭(zhēng)的過程。記憶力好的人總是少數(shù)。I cannot think of these English words off hand. One of the effective ways is to brush up on grammar rules a little bit everyday. There is simply no short cut. Off hand，我無法一下子就能想起這些英文單詞。 Brush up on 常常復(fù)習(xí)，short cut，捷徑。學(xué)英語最好是每天學(xué)一點(diǎn)，堅(jiān)

22、持不懈，集腋成裘：“Precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, idea by idea,”（一次學(xué)個(gè)概念，這里學(xué)一點(diǎn)，那里學(xué)一點(diǎn)，一次接觸一個(gè)思想）?；蛘呶覀兛梢哉f A little at a time, we can eat up an elephant eventually.（一次吃一口，我們最終可以把頭大象給吞了。） It is a big job, but we can get it done. 這個(gè)工作巨大，但我們可以把它做好。所以不要相信那些100天就可以把英語學(xué)好的廣告。如果有學(xué)生或一位網(wǎng)友100天可以學(xué)好英語

24、語中加上in 或者on后，其意思是堅(jiān)持。Hang in there, OK? 再在那里堅(jiān)持一會(huì)。Everybody hanging on. 每個(gè)人都再堅(jiān)持一下。Stay on. 也是“再堅(jiān)持一會(huì)”All relationships go through rough times.

The physical training is tough but its worth it. 你一定要堅(jiān)持下去，體育訓(xùn)練難度較大，但這代價(jià)是值得付的。Hang a

28、?兩個(gè)人談合作，你看了半天，都是對(duì)方得益，于是你就可以說這句話了：我的好處在哪里？也可以說：Where is my cut? 51.Back To Basics 從頭來，回到起點(diǎn)，回到基礎(chǔ)的東西。This is really complicated for me now, please get back to basics, OK？這真的有點(diǎn)復(fù)雜了，我搞不懂，能不能從頭說一遍？又可以說：Back To Square One 這是一個(gè)美式足球的術(shù)語，球又從新開始。Voters send tax relief back to square one. 投票人將緩稅計(jì)劃打回原宮。表示“基本”的另一個(gè)詞

29、組是 the nuts and boltsThe nuts and bolts of college writing 大學(xué)寫作初階nut 是螺帽， bolt 螺釘，螺帽螺釘是最基本的的東西，合在一起就是“基礎(chǔ)”。52.Licking good 味道好極了，licking是舔的意思，例如手抓羊肉，吃完后，再舔舔手，證明好吃。 It is licking good.53.My toes feel very itchy.
