“很有趣”别说“Very funny!这样夸人,小心对方跟你急!

用英语形容一个人或一件事非常有趣有意思,逗得你想笑,你是不是最先想到“very funny”这个表达?有些英语按照字面意思理解虽然没有错,但是在日常使用中,意思和想表达的感情已经有了改变。

你要注意啦,和别人聊天说very funny超级没礼貌,还很容易让native speaker误会!

在英语口语中,very funny并不是单纯说“很有趣”,而是有“得了吧,你可拉倒吧”的意思。

例句:

I'll give your money back tomorrow!

Very funny. I have to get my money back now!

我明天就还你钱!

呵呵,拉倒吧,我现在就要!

通过上面的例子我们能看出来,very funny在口语中常常是带有讽刺、反语的意思。所以,“很有趣”别再说“very funny”了,如果跟对方不熟,真的会超级尴尬。

“得了吧”还有哪些地道说法?

I had dinner with my friend last night and he said I am gonna win the 5 million lottery next week。

3. Come on! 得了吧!

例句:

Oh come on, John, you made the same excuse last week!

得了吧!John,上周你就是这个理由。

4. Don't give me that.

例句:

I'll give your money back tomorrow! I promise!

我明天就还你钱!我保证!
