年轻人喜欢用来表达自己无语的心情,就连难过了也可以“苦笑”,生气到极点了也会“怒极反笑”,遇到困难了就告诉自己“笑一笑没什么大不了”……
“笑”是一种很好的情感表达,而关于“笑”的英语表达也是五花八门,除了常见的smile(微笑)和laugh(大笑)之外,还有以下这些:
grin /ɡrɪn/ 露齿笑
例句:
That child's got such a cheeky grin.
那孩子笑得真顽皮。
chuckle /ˈtʃʌk.əl/ 轻笑
例句:
She was chuckling as she read the letter.
她一边读信一边轻笑。
smirk /smɝːk/ 得意地笑
例句:
She lifted a hand to her mouth to hide a smirk.
她用手挡住嘴角得意的笑。
snicker /ˈsnɪk.ɚ/ 偷笑
例句:
People were staring and snickering.
人们边盯着看边偷笑。
giggle /ˈɡɪɡ.əl/ 咯咯笑
例句:
The girls were giggling at the back of the classroom.
女孩们在教室后面咯咯地笑。
但是,人们的喜悦情绪不局限于这些“简单”的笑。朋友之间在聊天的时候,对方说了好笑的事,除了回应一长串的“哈哈哈哈哈”,人们还会用“笑死”这个表达来回应。说到“笑死”,大家一定会想起Lol(laugh out loud)和Lmao(laughing my ass off)之类的“老牌”英语表达。I put my pants on back to front this morning lol.The joke is so hilarious. Lmao.ROFL也是类似的意思,即rolling on the floor laughing(笑得在地上打滚)。但不要局限于此哦,让我们一起来学习一下各种夸张的笑法吧~crack是“破裂;裂开;断裂”,和up连在一起既可以指“(精神)崩溃,垮掉”, 也能表达“(使)捧腹大笑,哈哈大笑”。If you crack up or if someone or something cracks you up, you laugh a lot.There's something about that guy's face that just cracks me up.piss本身是“小便”的意思,而这个表达的含义是“笑死某人;笑破肚皮”,有点类似中文里的“笑尿了”。There I was writhing in agony on the floor and you were all pissing yourselves laughing!当时我痛苦得在地板上打滚,而你们这群人却笑得前仰后合!字面的意思是"笑得头都要掉了”, 而其含义是“大笑不止,狂笑不已”,类似于网络上常说的“笑得我满地找头”。to laugh very loudly and for a long time.You laughed your head off when I fell!The audience laughed its head off all the way through.grin/smile from ear to ear
"We've had a fantastic response!" he said, grinning from ear to ear.“我们收到的反馈极好,”他说着,笑得嘴都合不拢了。belly是肚子,belly laugh就是捧腹大笑。
A belly laugh is a very loud, deep laugh
Each gag was rewarded with a generous belly-laugh.hilarious,本身就是“极好笑的,极有趣的”的意思;也可以表示“很滑稽”。If something is hilarious, it is extremely funny and makes you laugh a lot.Do you know Peter? He's hilarious.最后,一个俚语表达方式是"Laugh myself silly at sth.",我们可以翻译为“笑到神志迷糊”。
例句:
I watched a hilarious comedy last night and laughed myself silly.
昨晚我看了一出搞笑的喜剧,笑得我都傻了。
除了这些正面情绪的笑,生活中还有不少“消极”的笑,我们也一起来了解一下~1. 苦笑:forced smile;wry smile;bitter smile;rueful laughHe produced a forced smile at me and went away.He permitted himself a wry smile.After what seemed like hours he came out with a bitter smile.He turned away with a rueful laugh.2. 惨笑:wan smile; smile wanlyThe boy's first outcry was a wan smile.She said “yes” and smiled wanly.She gave her teacher a simpering smile.4. 嘲笑;讥笑:ridicule;jeer;sneer at;derideShe was treated with scorn and ridicule by her colleagues when she applied for the job.The people at the back of the hall jeered the speaker.She'll probably sneer at my new shoes because they're not expensive.He derided my singing as pathetic.【特别声明】本公众平台除特别注明原创或授权转载外,其他文章均为转载,版权归原作者或平台所有,出于传递信息之目的,并没有任何商业目的。本公号尊重知识产权,如无意中侵犯了您的权益,请及时联系后台,本公号将及时删除。
