2.Excuse me for a moment !

失陪以下

3.Whisky for this lady ,and put it on my tab!

    我们可以说 Could we have the bill, please? （请给我们账单好吗？）或 pay the bill（埋单），但“记在某某的账上”却不用 bill，而要用 put...on one's tab 表示。tab 是“小纸片”的意思，因为过去小店的生意都是靠住在附近的老主顾，赊账时有发生，于是老板们通常把每个人的赊账情况记在各自的小纸片上，也就是 put...on one's tab，以防遗忘。渐渐地，该词组就成了一种习惯用法。

4.Know 与　know of  

         最基本的一个区别就是：know of 仅表示知道有这么个人，这件事但是没有什么交往；而know　则表示认识，层次比know of 要深。

5.A big shot　　要人                
     先从字面上来理解，a big shot 就是很大的子弹，很大的炮弹，再说好听一点，就是重磅炸弹，呵呵，引申出来，就是：重要的人物，简称“要人”。嘻嘻，不知道这样讲，大家会不会记得清楚一点。

6.Yes-man　　和事佬                
      我们的生活中总有这样一些人，很不喜欢对别人说“不”，他们信奉：以和为贵，凡事以不伤和气为最高准则，下次遇到这样的人，你就可以说他是个：yes- man

7.What’s the big deal!

有什么了不起的

8.Be angry at 生。。。气

我的肩膀酸痛。

12.Can I take a message 。

我能传话吗？

13.Don’t mention it.

14.At school, those guys always come to pick on me。

英语中“找某人的麻烦”用短语 pick on sb. 它不仅表示“挑剔某人、找某人的茬”，而且还包含 tease（取笑、戏弄）或 bully（威胁、欺侮）的意思

15. How did you know this bug is female?
你怎么知道这只小虫是母的呢?话说有一次到学校的图书馆去借书, 结果不偏不倚一只美丽的小瓢虫就正好停在我的书本上. 那位帮我 Check out 这本书的美眉就兴奋地说, "Hey, look this lady bug." (嘿, 看看这只瓢虫.) 我一听到 lady bug, 不经大脑思考就回她一句, "How did you know this bug is female?" (你怎么知道她是母的呢?) 结果她一边狂笑之馀, 一边跟我解释, lady bug 就是「瓢虫」的意思, 而非「母的」小虫.

16. I will play for your mother.
我会玩给你妈妈看.故事发生在年初，我一位韩国好友身上, 有一天老师没来上课, 因为他的妈妈因二度中风过世了, 我与那韩国友人购买了一张致哀卡片, 她写完慰问文句之后, 换我写. 我想先参考一下她怎么写, 看完后我觉得很奇怪, 就问她 "为什么你要玩给他已过世的妈妈看呢？" 她说"没有呀!" 等她再检查一遍后, 我俩大笑, 原来她把 pray 拼成play了. 原文是: Mr. Bagnole, "I am so sorry. I will play for your mother."

17. I will see you in half an hour.
我半小时之后再见你.半小时在英文中要怎么讲? 我想有许多人直觉的反应就是 a half hour. 但事实上呢? 老美习惯上会讲 half an hour. 但我常常会把 half an hour 误会成是一个半小时的意思. 记得有一次跟一个老美约好要讨论功课, 他说, "I will see you in half an hour." 结果当我一个半小时后再现身时, 他早已不见踪影了, 后来仔细一想, 不好, half an hour 好像是半小时而不是一个半小时的意思耶! 怪不得他早已弃我而去.

18. Can you give me some pepper?
能不能给我一点胡椒啊?这是在 New Orleans 的 KFC 吃炸鸡时发生的事, 为了听懂店员的南方腔英文, 我已经很努力了噢! 还听懂她问我要烤的, 脆的要鸡胸还是要鸡腿. 好不容易点完了, 她又问我还要什么吗? 我看了看, 没有胡椒粉就跟她要pepper, 结果她拿了一叠餐巾纸 (paper) 给我. 我知道 pepper 是短音 paper 是长音可是为什么我说的在她耳里都是长音哩? 噜了半天, 只好请学长帮我要 pepper 这回，店员可听懂了pepper 就... 从冰箱里拿了两条那种腌渍绿色的辣椒给我...(就是吃pizza会配的那种) 我想说没有我要的那种 pepper, 有这个也不错, 所以我就放弃了.
结果到了位置上才看到胡椒粉都是装在罐子里放桌上不是一小包一小包装起来的, 所以根本不用跟店员要, 当初如果说 ground pepper也许那位店员才知道我们要啥吧! 后来我只吃了一条小辣椒, 就辣到肚子热热的一整晚, 其实那味道还不错啦...

19. Are you going to a wedding tomorrow?
你明天要去参加一个婚礼?上个星期跟一群老美出去小酌一番, 三杯过后, 大家开始谈起最近的计划. 一个老美说, 他明天要去田纳西, 因为他的一个好朋友要结婚了. 这时我也不加思索, 脱口就问另一个老美, "Are you going to the marriage tomorrow, too?" 他笑著说, "No. I am not going to get married tomorrow; I am going to a wedding tomorrow." (我不是要去结婚, 而是要去参加婚礼) 这时我才会意过来, 原来 go to a marriage 是去结婚的意思, 而不是参加婚礼 go to a wedding 的意思.

20. Look. There are some "rotating wooden horses" over there.
大家看看, 那里有一些旋转木马.有一次一堆人去逛 mall, 眼尖的我一眼瞧见了不知是谁把整座的 "旋转木马" 给搬了进来. 这对童心未泯的我来说自然是件很兴奋的事. 结果我一说 rotating wooden horse, 立刻就发现了有两极反应, 所有的老中立刻会过意来, 知道我说的是 "旋转木马", 但跟我们同行的老美就一脸茫然了. 后来我指 "旋转木马" 给她看, 她才恍然大悟地说了, "Oh~ Carousel" 喔喔.. 街头暗号：咱们一起拽吧！原来旋转木马在英文里还有一个专用的名词 Carousel 哩.

21. Do you want some green bean soup?
你要不要喝一点绿豆汤?有次招待一对美国夫妇去中国餐厅吃饭, 这家餐厅饭后的甜点绿豆汤十分有名. 所以眼见酒足饭饱, 我就问他们要不要来碗 green bean soup? 结果这对夫妇露出一副很不可思议的表情, 还连忙说不要不要. 我觉得很奇怪, 为何他们对绿豆汤如此感冒呢? 后来回家把我的那包绿豆拿出来一看, 才发现原来绿豆的英文叫 mung bean 而 green bean 呢? 原来是四季豆的意思. 现在我终于能体会当时他们为何拒喝 "四季豆汤" 的原因了, 想想真的是蛮恶心的.

22. Do you have a pen knife?
你有没有美工刀啊?大家知不知道老美都比较喜欢用铅笔啊? (他们好像都不太喜欢用原子笔), 所以很多教室的墙上都有削铅笔机 (pencil sharpener) 结果有一次上课坐我隔壁的老美跟我说, "Do you have a pen knife?" 我摇摇头, 但我想他大概是要削铅笔吧, 我还好心地指著墙上的 pencil sharpener 对他说 "You can try this one." (你可以试试削铅笔机呀!) 他就露出一副很没力的样子.
后来他跟我解释道, pen knife 不是用来削铅笔的, (如果是削铅笔的, 也应该是叫 pencil knife 而不是 pen knife 吧?) 通常 pen knife 的形状通常都跟笔很像, 所以叫 pen knife. 所以我想想其实 pen knife 就是 "美工刀" (utility knife) 的意思, 而非削铅笔的小刀.

23. We need a "hooker" back there.
我们需要一个 "钩子" 在后面.老美是蛮爱好水上活动的民族, 所以实常可以看到有人开车后面拖著一艘船行驶在路上. 有一次当我在开车时, 我的好友就说了, "I wish I had a boat." (我真希望我有一艘船) 我就接著说了一句至理名言, "But we still need a hooker back there." (但我们还需要一个拖钩啦!) 结果大家都在笑我. 虽然 hook 的确是指钩子的意思, 但 hooker 在英文里却单指的是 "妓女" 的意思. 所以我这句话变成了, "我们需要一个妓女的意思."
其实就算这里我讲 hook 也不对, 因为 hook 是指像钓鱼用的那种小钩钩, 车后面的拖钩是不能叫 hook 的, 正确的用法是 hitch 这个字才是指拖钩.
生活小故事
上次去田纳西的 Ocoee River 泛舟 (rafting). 一上车导游就问大家, "How many of you haven't tried this before?" (你们当中有多少人是没有经验的啊?) 结果我跟一堆笨笨的老美就举手了. 导游一看, 就很幽默地说了一句, "Okay, it's quite simple." (放心, 这很简单) "Just remain in your seats and don't stick your heads or hands out the windows." (只要保持在你的座位上, 不要把头手伸出车外就可以了.)

Beginner
A: How do you use an ATM card, Billy?

B: It’s easy grandpa. Insert your card into the machine here. Then wait a moment. OK. Now you enter your PIN. It should have four numbers.
A: Oh yes. I’ve got it written down here. Just a minute.
B: You really shouldn’t write it down. You should memorise it. You can change it to a more convenient number if you like.
A: OK, I’ve entered my PIN. There are several options on the screen. I guess I just choose which service I want, don’t I?
B: Yes. Choose the service you need to use. If you choose to withdraw money, the machine will ask you how much you want.
A: I can just enter the amount using the keys, right?
B: That’s right. Give the machine a moment to process your request. Then take your money.
A: These machines aren’t very difficult to use. In fact, I quite like them. They are much faster than dealing with a bank clerk.

Intermediate
A: Which service offered by your bank do you use most?
B: I use several services. Of course, I deposit and withdraw money quite often. I often use my ATM card to take money out of my current account. I use my bank to exchange money from one currency to another. I often travel abroad, you see.
A: Do you ever ask your bank for traveller’s cheques? They are much safer than carrying lots of cash around.
B: I sometimes use traveller’s cheques, but sometimes I travel to countries where they are hard to exchange for cash.
A: Do you use your bank to pay your utility bills? I use direct debit.
B: Yes, I do. It saves me a lot of time. I also have standing orders for my subscriptions to magazines.
A: That’s a good idea. You don’t need to worry about missing an issue of a magazine if you do that. I suppose you have a mortgage too.
B: Yes. My bank offers very good terms and conditions on mortgages. There’s a lot of competition between banks nowadays. Each one is trying to offer better conditions and services than the others.
A: I have a deposit account with my bank. There are some restrictions on withdrawing money, but the interest rate is much higher.
B: I don’t have one. I prefer to buy shares. My bank also provides a share trading service. It’s cheap and easy to use.
A: That’s great, but I prefer to put my money somewhere where the returns are more certain.

另加一篇文章

Hi, everybody, long time no see. Do you believe in the fate ? it is my conviction, because of the fate, I came across someone in my life time and again. I would meet with him or her during the journey, on my way to go shopping, in the waiting room for patients, at the park, in the classroom, on the internet, or even at home. And the time we spent together is uncertain, maybe one minute, or one hour, one day, one year, and some of them would accompany with me for a lifetime. Whever I ran into you, how long the time I would share with you, i’ve got happiness, peace, console, encouragement, confidence, and anythine wonderful that I can’t gain from other person. Everyone I ran across was unique, thank you for your appearance, and what I can do is to transfer the same treasure you gave me to others I will meet with , which is the best way to show my appreciation,I think.

我不想当电灯泡.

一般的自行车都只有二个轮子, 要是有三个轮子呢? 没错, 那第三个轮子就是多馀的. 所以 Third wheel 就是美语中电灯泡正确的表示方法. 还有一个讲法, 叫 I don't want to be the third arm. 这里不是说 "三只手" 的意思, 而是和 third wheel 一样, 都是电灯泡的意思.
Wheel[wi:l] : 轮子

2. He is dating another girl on the side.

他同时脚踏两条船.

我想把这句说成 I have my feet in two boats 的人也不在少数吧! 其实正确的说法应该是像这样, He is dating another girl on the side. 或是你可以说 He is dating another girl behind her back. (这个 her 指的是他女朋友的意思)
On the side 这句话你去餐厅用餐时也常用到, 指的是主菜之外的副餐, 比如说 I'd like salad with dressing on the side. 就是说我要沙拉和沙拉酱. 或是 Would you like a baked potato on the side? 要不要再点一份烤马铃薯啊?
dating: [ 'deitiŋ ] .约会

3. I am the one-woman kinda man.

我是那种从一而终的男人.

在美国从一而终的人好像不多, 他们通常从高中就开始交男女朋友, 一直交到结婚, 中间不知改朝换代过多少次. 所以这句话是很难得听到的. 其实我比较常听的是 one-man woman, 因为看来不论中外, 女生都比男生坚贞一点. kinda 在口语中常用, 它是 kind of 的简写, kinda man 就是说那样的男人. 可以省略不说.
还有一种用法叫 We are exclusive. 这个 exclusive 指的是排他的意思. 所以当一对情侣说, We are exclusive 时, 就是说我们心里只有对方一人, 我们都不会再去喜欢上别人.

exclusive: [ iks'klu:siv ] . .

	a. 独占的,唯一的,排外的
	[计算机] 互斥的

4. Those boys like to hit on me all the time.

那些男生老爱找我搭讪.

Hit somebody 是说你打某人的意思, 但是 hit on somebody 就不一样了, hit on somebody 是当作搭讪来解释. 常常电视剧里可以看到, 一个男的跑去跟一个陌生女孩多说了两句话, 那个女生就说: Are you hitting on me? 你现在是在跟我搭讪吗 ? 实在是很有意思.

5. That's the long distance relationship.

我和我的情人分隔两地.

一般 relationship 都是特别指男女朋友之间的关系, 比如你可以跟你的另一半说, I really appreciate our relationship. 就是我很感激我们能够在一起.
Long distance relationship 是一种固定用法, 这样的讲法我常在广播中听到. 他们一般情况下不会说成 We live far away from each other. 只会说 We have a long distance relationship. 再来你可能可以接著说, It's so hard for me.

6. You should have chivalry.

你应该有点绅士风度.

我觉得美国的男生都蛮有风度的, 他们会帮女士开门 (这点在美国尤其重要, 因为美国的空气太乾燥了, 所以去开门常常会触电 ^__^ ) 会让 Lady first. 这种行为中文叫绅士风度, 但在英文中叫骑士精神 (chivalry)

chivalry: [ 'ʃivəlri ] . .

n. 骑士精神,骑士制度

7. I saw you smooching that girl just outside my window.

我看到你我的窗外亲那个女孩喔.

Smooch 是一个口语, 它就完全等于大家所熟知的 kiss 这个字.

8. I'm all over you.

我对你非常地著迷.

All over you 就是说对你非常地著迷, 这还有另一种表示方法, 叫 I have a crush on you. 这二句都是表达很喜欢某人的意思.

9. I'm over you.

我跟你之间完了.

一字之差但是意思完全不同喔. 你要是说 I'm over you, 就是说我跟你之间完了, 我不想再和你有任何的瓜葛. 这和 I'm all over you 是完全不一样的.

10. Are you trying to seduce me?

你想要勾引我吗?

Seduce 就是说你用言语或是行为去勾引某人. 这句话在美国派 (American Pie) 当中有用到过喔! 就是其中有一个男生最后找不到伴了, 结果跑去勾引一个老女人. 那个老女人就说了, Are you trying to seduce me?
更好玩的是, 那个男生事后还跟同伴吹牛, "Women are like wine. They only get better with age." 女人吗, 就像老酒一样, 只会越陈越香. (各位相信吗? 至少我是不信的 ^__^)

seduce: [ si'dju:s ] . .

v. 怂恿,瞒骗,引诱
