《笑死我的英文书》中式英语错误纠正(77):放和躺

放和躺 lay or lie

true story 真实故事

i once heard someone remark,“it feels really good getting laid after a hard day's work". but in english,“getting laid" has sexual connota-tions. the meaning of this sentence would be“一天的辛勤工作后找个人睡觉感觉很爽”。what they should say is "it feels really good to lie down after a hard day's work."

我曾经听到有人这样说:“it feels really good getting laid after a hard day's work.”但是在英语中,“getting laid”是有色情含义的。这句话的意思是:“一天的辛勤工作后找个人睡觉感觉很爽。”他们应该这样说:“it feels really good to lie down after a hard day's work.(一天的辛勤工作后能躺下来很舒服)”
