英语『口语』：20个必不可少的地道英语俚语

一、地道英语口语：学英语无聊？看看8个容易被误解意思的有趣俚语！

​每种语言都有它们的文化背景，在日常交流过程中，有些表达约定俗成，被用来表达一些看起来可能跟句子本身意思没有关系的意思，如果不了解这些，可能就会闹笑话。接下来一起学习一下10句容易被误解意思的口语句子。

​1. Break a leg

​如果有人跟你说"Break a leg"，你不要害怕，他不是想要打断你一条腿，而是在说“祝你好运！”，这个有点不可思议吧！关于“Break a leg”的起源还没有确切的说法，有一种说法是说鞠躬的时候会把一条腿放在另一只后边，然后屈膝下去，看起来像有一条腿折断了，而这种鞠躬礼是恭敬的表现，后面引申为“祝你好运”。

​2. I'm really dead

​如果你的外国朋友跟你说"I'm really dead!"，你不要急着叫救护车，其实他的意思是自己的能量用完了，累死了，随时都想要“葛优瘫”的意思。

​3. Fat cat

​你跟你的外国朋友在八卦一个明星，他突然说:"He is a fat cat."你左看右看都不觉得这个明星是个肥猫，是不是觉得很疑惑呢？其实他的意思是“他是个大亨”或者“他是个有权势的人”，类似的还有"He is a big dog"，同样是“他是大人物”的意思。

​4. Take French leave

​你跟朋友在参加一个聚会，突然他跟你说"I plan to take a French leave"，你可能以为他计划带走一个法国人，这是要干嘛！其实他的意思是“他计划不辞而别”，"Take French leave"就是“不辞而别”的意思。

take French leave

​5. Black sheep

​如果你跟你的外国朋友在八卦一个富二代，然后你朋友说:"This guy is a black sheep"，意思不是说“这家伙是只黑绵羊”，而是在说“这家伙是个败家子”。

black sheep

​6. Green-eyed

​如果有人说Green-eyed，你的脑海里是不是出现一只绿头苍蝇的大绿眼睛？这是什么鬼？其实，Green在英语中有嫉妒的意思，所以Green-eyed相当于中文的“红眼”，意思就是嫉妒性强的。

green-eyed

​7. A greaseball

​一个涂满油脂的球，这是什么意思呢？其实这个比喻还跟中文表达有异曲同工之妙，意思就是指人油腔滑调的、滑头。

greaseball

​ ​8. A rough diamond

​一个没有加工过的钻石，我们都知道钻石晶莹剔透，非常好看，那么，没有加工过的钻石就是外面不好看，里面好看，这就用来形容一个外粗内秀的人。
