Move your butt! 别挡路!
Butt 这个词除了当作“屁股”来用外,还有许多非常有趣的口语和俚语用法,比如说它可以表示非常刻薄的语气。下面就让我们来看看butt是怎样“刻薄”的吧! 1. Can you get your butt down here?
能不能麻烦你下来一下? 这里“Butt”表现出一种尖酸刻薄的语气,有点不耐烦,不高兴。比如一个住五楼的朋友找你,等你到了楼下,他却跟你说“Come up here.”这时你心里一定会想“那你自己不会下来啊?”像这样的语气,你就可以说:Can you get your butt down here? 在电影 Outside Providence 里,有一个女生去找她男朋友,那个男的就叫她自己上去,她也是很不高兴地说了一句:Can you get your butt down here?2. Can you get your butt back here?
能不能请你转过头来? 不知大家有没有过这样的经验:当你跟一个人讲话的时候,他一边回答你的话,一边看着他的电脑玩他的游戏。这时你可能也会不太高兴,你就可以说:Can you get your butt back here? 3. Get your butt out of the way.
能不能别挡路啊? 要是一般场合别人挡住你的路,你说个“Excuse me!”,别人就会让开了。但是如果是很熟的朋友挡住你的路,你可能说话的语气就不会那么客气。这时就可以说:Get your butt out of the way! 这句话也可以简单地说成:Hey! Move your butt.
