口语：“无语”

　　口语：无语

　　Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是小北要问的：无语。

　　Jessica: Xiaobei! You look upset. What happened?

　　Yiru: 别提了!我有个朋友欠钱不还，拖了好长时间了，每次都找各种理由搪塞我!气死我了，以前我还和她理论，现在我简直是简直是无语了我!

　　Jessica: I see. Youre so tired of your friends excuses that you are speechless.

　　XB: Speechless?原来这就是无语的意思。

　　Jessica: Yes. For example, you can say she was speechless after learning her boyfriend was dating another woman.

　　XB: 哦，知道男友跟别的女生交往后，她气得说不出话来。

　　Jessica: Exactly. Basically, you can use speechless to mean something so bad or so surprising that you dont know what to say.

　　XB: I see. 跟你说，我认识一个女生，她特别虚伪，总是假惺惺地称赞别人，转过头来就说人坏话。Every time I see her being so fake, Im speechless!

　　Jessica: I bet you also roll your eyes!

　　XB: Roll my eyes?

　　Jessica: If you roll your eyes, youre showing that you dont believe someone or you arent interested in what theyre saying.

　　XB: 哦，就是因为不相信或者不耐烦而翻白眼。这个说法真形象!就在今天早上，I got an email saying I was selected to win five million dollars. It also asked for my bank account.

　　Jessica: Thats fishy! It must be a scam!

　　XB: 我当然知道这是诈骗邮件了!I rolled my eyes when I read it! 不过你说，要是我哪天我真中了500万

　　Jessica: That would blow me away! Meaning Id be really amazed!

　　XB: 哦，to blow someone away就是使人大吃一惊，不过，这应该是用在形容什么好事儿的时候吧?

　　Jessica: Exactly. For example, My new computer ran so fast that it blew me away!

　　XB: Or Jessica has so much cash hidden under her bed that it blows me away!

　　Jessica: What? Me? Cash? Now Im rolling my eyes, Xiaobei!

　　XB: 我来总结一下今天学的词：因为厌恶或者吃惊而无语，用speechless; 因为不耐烦或不相信而翻白眼是roll one 某些好事让人大吃一惊用blow someone away.
