Game“游戏”还有“技巧”的意思
内容简介 Neil 想给一位让他心仪已久的姑娘发条消息,但不知道该怎么表达。菲菲建议他发些表情符,既友好又自然。但 Neil 还没掌握使用表情符的技巧,所以需要赶紧“up his emoji game”。看视频,学习单词“game 游戏”的另一个用法。
Neil
Welcome to Authentic Real English. I’m Neil.
大家好,我是冯菲菲。
Neil
Actually, could you help me with something?
Go on.
Neil
There’s this girl I like. I want to ask her for coffee. But I don’t want to seem too serious or creepy or anything. Just friendly.
你现在是想给她发条消息?OK.
Neil
I just can’t find the words.
Easy. 给她发几个表情。Much less formal!
Neil
You mean, like, a smiley face?
Yeah, but those are so last year.
Neil
Maybe a love heart?
Seriously? That’s a bit too much. 不要吓到人家。You need to up your emoji game!
Neil
My emoji game… like an emoji of a video game… or a football?
Nope. The phrase ‘to raise your game’, or ‘to up your game’, means to improve. 我的意思是你发表情符的本领需要好好提高提高。
Neil
Yes, it’s a good phrase. , you’re not working hard enough, you need to up your game!
That’s not true, but good use of ‘up your game’. Now the phrase has developed a bit. We often add what we are trying to improve before the word ‘game’. Game 这个词可以指“一个比赛或游戏的技巧”、本领。短语“to raise your game”和“to up your game”的意思是“提高技能和水平”。不过,现在在使用的时侯,我们多在 game 前加上需要提高的那个本领。
Neil
Like this:
Examples
I never finish novels. I need to up my reading game.
I badly need to work on my interview game before my big interview next week.
You could do with a bit more exercise, mate. You should raise your running game!
好了,希望上面的例子给大家示范了如何用“game”来表示“技能、能力”。Any progress with that text message?
Neil
Here goes: “Lucy. Please have a coffee with me tomorrow.” And then some coffee emojis.
Well, it’s direct! But I still think we need to up your emoji game. Actually, and your texting game. Oh, and your dating game… We’ve got a lot of work to do!
Neil
Oh, ok. Well, I already sent the message. Let’s hope it works! Oh, she’s replied already.
快看她说什么?
Neil
“Neil. I thought you’d never ask! I’d love to have coffee. 3pm?” And then a couple of big smiley emojis.
Wow, congratulations. Maybe it’s me who needs to up my game.
Neil
Looks like it!
Both
Bye.
