聊一聊英语怼人与反怼大全

这次我们聊一聊口语。

首先我们澄清一个概念:不是用嘴讲出来的英语都是spoken English.

所谓口语其实包含了很多不一样的题材,比如日常会话、商务会谈、演讲、辩论等,不同题材也就自然意味着有不一样的要求,以及不尽相同的学习方法,当然也意味着不一样的难度。

今天我们从日常会话的角度进行切入,日后再逐步来谈后续。

日常口语第一需要的是单词,但不是很难的单词,反而是小词大用,小词活用

第二注重的是在表达过程中情绪的运用。人在接受信息时,有80%的信息不是通过内容来传递的,而是通过声量、音调、手势、表情等等来传递的。

第三注重的是,除了陈述事实的语句之外,例如This is a table之类,我们的日常会话的目的是为了沟通,要学会用修辞。

基于以上三点不难看出,仅仅靠背单词,日常会话是练不好的;仅仅是背课文、背句型,日常会话是练不好的;仅仅是学语法,学俚语,日常会话还是学不好。那么我们应该如何学?

回答很简单:放在实际的语境中学。

我们今天就从怼人这个角度来举例说明日常会话怎么学。怼人,就是实际的语境,因为我们时长需要去怼那些欠怼的人。不仅如此,我们需要用我们最擅长的方式,最舒服的姿势,去怼他们,怼到他们无话可说。看招:

场景一:你很丑。如果我们仅仅是说you are ugly. 词没有用活,情绪没有调动,而且只是一个陈述,伤害力太有限了。不如这样说:

如果一个人整天自拍(take selfies),而且觉得自己好美好美,朋友圈天天晒(以上都是语境),你可以这么说:Your face is made for radio.

字面含义就是,你的脸只能上电台。只能出声,不能看。这里所有的词都是我们学过的小词,但是很少会把这几个词组合在一起,这就是我说的小词活用。讲这句话的情绪应该是平淡不经的,face和radio两个单词自然浮现在句子里就是重音,传情达意,一步到位。而且这不是一个陈述事实,而是一种反讽,沟通的信息非常明确,我就是要怼你。

还可以说:Ah, I understand--you fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

字面含义是:我懂了,你从一棵破树上摔下来,一路上刮到了所有的树杈。

每一个词都是小词,但是很少我们会这么组合,这就是小词活用。

fell out of the ugly tree是情绪的铺垫,hit every branch on the way down才是宣泄。树有多丑,你就有多丑。

这是一个想象力极其丰富的句子,用了夸张和暗喻,这是沟通。

如果我们说一个人胖,我们除了说you are fat之外,我们还可以说

1. You must have to roll over more than a few times to get an even tan.(一般人晒太阳翻一次身就晒全了,你要翻好几次。)

2. If you weighed five more pounds, you could get group insurance.再胖几斤,你买保险就可以买团队保险了。(一个人的重量顶上别人好几个)

3. The only thing you can fit into at the Gap is the dressing room.( Gap美国的服装品牌,以宽松舒适为卖点,fit into合身,dressing room试衣间,除了能进试衣间,什么衣服都穿不进去)

当然,如果别人这么怼我,因为我最近也胖了,我仍然会用相似的方式怼回去!例如

Did you ever have boobs?(这一条我说没有说服力,且如果对方是男性,这句话的杀伤力也不够大,但如果是两个女生,这基本上可以用了,但是如果对方真的有boobs,幸好还有下面的句子)

If you were drowning, I'd totally toss you a Cheerio.(溺水不用救生圈,一个麦片圈就足以。Cheerio长着个样子,请看

You must use a Band-Aid as a maxi pad and Chapstick for deordorant.(Band-Aid是创口贴,maxi pad 卫生巾,用创口贴当卫生巾;chapstick是润唇膏,deordorant是除臭膏,长着个样子)

接着我就不解释直接开挂了, 不太理解的可以后台问,当然你要先打赏再问。

Stupid:

I don't know what makes you so dumb, but it really works.

If brain were taxed, you'd get a rebate.

Don't get lost in thought--it's unfamiliar territory.

You're so dumb, blondes tell jokes about you.

If you were any smarter, I could teach you to fetch.

I wish I were as smart as you think you are.

Good thing you're not letting your education get in the way of your ignorance.

Smarty-pants: (自作聪明的人,可以用作对上文的反击)

It's lonely at the top, isn't it?

Making other people feel stupid doesn't make you seem smarter.

Do you have to work that hard to be a jerk, or does it just come naturally?

Since your personality acts as a birth control device, you must save lots of money on condoms.

When someone first meets you, they don't like you. But when they get to know you better, they hate you.

You're not even beneath my contempt.

You're the reason God created the middle finger. (这句太赞!)

Your father should have pulled out. (虚拟语气最佳例句)

When you take Viagra, do you get taller? ( 赞!)

……

还有太多,我就不写了,希望你记住两点

1. 日常会话需要在语境中学习,才能把小词用活,表达情绪,沟通观点

2. 不要惹我,我已经很克制了。

其实以上都源自一本书,Insults & Comebacks,如果当年的《英语900句》都写的是这些,估计大家背起来,用起来,早就自如的不得了。

今天就分享这个资料吧,祝你怼人开心。
