尽管已经足够自信,自信到不需要别人的赞美了,但是还是喜欢听到别人的赞美和肯定,尤其是女人,夸奖赞美的话永远不嫌多。如何夸奖女人的能力呢?
1. Seldom have I met a girl whos had such a gift of gab like Lilys.
我几乎从未见过像莉莉这样有口才的女孩子。
口才的英语表达法是the gift of gab.
一般情况下,该短语强调的是讲话的能力,与讲话的实际内容没有关系。
2. Shes a rough diamond . Although she seems to be careless, she does everything tiptop.
她是个外粗内秀的人。别看她大大咧咧的,干起事来总是顶呱呱的。
a rough diamond 本意是没有雕刻的钻石。钻石在没有进行人工处理之前,其表面并非非常光滑。然而一经加工,就会显得光彩夺目。
用这样的比喻来意指外粗内秀岂不是妙不可言?
3. When it comes to teaching grammar, she can be a notch above all the others.
她教课很棒。论教语法,她比其他任何人都略胜一筹。
据说,古时人们比赛时把一根木棍插在地上,从下往上将得分刻在木棍上。这样得分高的人的notch(痕迹)就高于得分低的人。后来人们便借此比喻be better或be higher的概念了。
4. You know her company? She has a big drag with the boss.
你知道她的公司吧?她在老板那儿很吃得开。
have a big drag 是个地道的口语形式,直译为有很大的牵扯,意指吃得开。
5. Shes so honey-lipped that she knows how to tailor her words to please the ears of different people.
她嘴特别甜,很会见什么人说什么话。
中国人习惯把嘴甜的说成是sweet-mouthed. 但是,英美人认为应该用honey-lipped才更符合他们的习惯。
6. She has taste on fashion.
她眼光很独到啊。
其他表达:
She has an good eye for fashion.
她对时尚有很好的眼光。
She has good taste in clothes.
她对服装有很好的审美眼光。
She has a flair for good poetry.
她有监别好诗的眼光。
7. Im sure she can do a good job in the business. She has a lot on the ball .
我认为她肯定能做好这份工作。她很能干。
很能干在英语中有很多种说法,比如:be able to do... be capable of ...
但是to have a lt on the ball 更符合英美人的口语习惯。
8. She has a mind like a steel trap . Nothing needs to be explained twice to her.
她脑瓜很好使。什么事情都不用说第二遍。
steel trap原指捕熊及其它动物的一种工具。据说这种工具非常灵敏,一碰即合,后来人们便以此来形容脑瓜灵活的人了。
