国外最火的10个英文表达,99%的人都不知道!

1
Ship
大家看到ship就会想到船,但这个ship在外国人眼里可不是友谊的小船,而是爱情的小船哦~
ship是从relationship简化而来的,用作名词有点像两个人之间的暧昧和火花。如果用作动词,它指的是撮合(to endorse a romantic relationship)。如果你想撮合你的朋友,可以说,I want to ship them。
  • I see a ship developing between Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.  
    我觉得H和R之间有火花。
2
Slay
经常玩国外游戏的人一定对这个词不陌生,slay的原意是杀戮(kill in a violent way),后来慢慢衍生成做得超棒(succeeded in something amazing)的意思,可以用在自己身上,也可以用来称赞别人,说的时候要展现出一种很自信的态度!
  • Miley s new album slayed.
    M的新专辑太棒了!
3
Straight Fire
直直的火?“fire”原本就有流行的意思,而“straight”在这里起一个强调作用,两个词语连在一起其实就是我们中文“火了”的意思。
It may be related to the phrase 'spitting fire', which means rapping quickly and very well. 'Straight fire' is a compound of 'straight', meaning very or authentically, and 'fire', a metaphor for something being hot or really good.
  • The Weeknd s new song is straight fire!
    Weekend的新歌最近一直很火。
4
Salty
这个词也是在游戏玩家中非常流行的,Being salty is when you are upset over something little,形容一个人输不起。那为什么会用盐来代表呢?这和眼泪有很大的关系,输不起的人往往玩游戏输了会气到哭,所以salty的新用法就诞生啦~
  • He was so salty after he died in smash bros.  
    他输了大乱斗后就非常生气。
5
Chilllax
Chilllax这个词是“chill out”和“relax”的结合体,常常用来安慰别人,用法和“Chill out”是一样的。
  • Dude, just chillax, just because it s not your birthday doesn t mean that you won t have fun in the party tonight.  
    兄弟,开心点,虽然今天不是你的生日,但你今晚在派对会玩的很嗨。
6
Squad
Squad原来指的是一群朋友(homies),后来在网络上渐渐用来形容一个特定人群,比如某某某的粉丝群、反恐团体等等,DC著名的电影《自杀小队》(Suicide Squad)用的也是这个词。
An informal group of individuals with a common identity and a sense of solidarity. The term is a bit flashy and is more likely to be heard in hip-hop lyrics than in spoken conversation.
  • You step to me, and my whole squad will come down on you.  
    你要是踩到我头上来,支持我的人都会来对付你。
7
Bye Felicia
Felicia最早出自一部1995年的美国电影《Friday》,不过直到2008年,一位网友才在Urban Dictionary上发布了这个词条👇
现在这个词被当作是an expression used to dismiss someone(This person is usually irrelevant and annoying),用来狠狠地拒绝别人,也就是对对方说NO!
值得一提的是,“Bye, Felicia”虽然用了女性名字,但也可以对男性说。网友还发明了这句话的男版:Bye, Felipe.
  • 'Can I borrow a dollar, I promise I ll pay you back' 
    'Bye Felicia' 
    'I promise!' 
    'BYE FELICIA!'
  • “我可以跟你借1美元吗?我保证一定会还给你!”
    “不行!”
    “我发誓!”
    “不行,👋!”
8
GOAT
大家千万不要被这张配图骗了,GOAT在这里可不是山羊的意思,而是Greatest Of All Time的缩写,可以理解为“史上最佳”!
  • Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T!
    Michael Jordan是史上最佳的!
9
ELI5
这个词看起来好像某个英语考试的等级,不过也不能说它和考试毫无关系。ELI5的真正意思是Explain Like I m 5,当你想让别人explain something in the simplest way possible,用这个词准没错!
  • Hey, Can you ELI5 the Bermuda Triangle. 
    嘿,你可以用最简单的方式给我介绍一下百慕大三角吗?
10
Cd9
可千万不要随便和你的外国朋友说这个词,你会发现他很长时间都不跟你说话了,因为这个词的意思是code9,意味着:parents are around!
If your parent are around and you don’t want them to see or know what you are texting, or putting on a website like fb, you send cd9 to alert them not to say or put anything that could get you into trouble!
这个词简直是为小年轻们量身定做的嘛,太实用了!
  • “Last night’s party was awesome!”
    “Cd9!”
  • “昨晚的派对简直太棒了!”
    “我爸妈在旁边,⚠️”
