5. hang out 和朋友在一起
a: i don't know what is going on lately. jack seems to curse a lot these days.
a: 不知道最近 jack 怎么搞的。 他经常口出恶言。
b: well, that's just what you get from hanging out with the wrong crowd.
b: 嗯, 交错了朋友就是这样啊!
"hang out" 是和朋友一起做一些事。看电影、逛街、聊天都算。也不限指异性朋友。
6. click (两人)合得来
i really like talking to her. i think we two really click.
我很喜欢和她说话。我觉得我们两个蛮合得来的。
好玩的字吧! 不过 click 不一定只用在异性之间。朋友之间的频率相同也可以用。
7. suck 差劲 ; 糟透了
a: guess what? we've just now missed the bus, and the next one won't come for another 45 minutes.
a: 知道吗? 我们刚好错过公车了; 下一班(车)还要四十五分钟才会来。
b: that sucks.
b: 真逊!
"suck" 是「差劲」的意思。 "that movie sucks." 是「那部电影真是糟透了」的意思。
8. catch some zs 小睡一下
a: excuse me. i have to catch some zs.
a: 抱歉! 我想小睡一下。
b: i thought you just woke up. sleepy head.
b: 我以为你才刚睡醒。爱睡虫。
漫画里的人睡觉, 不是都画"z,z,z..."来表示吗? 这里的 "catch some zs" 就是这样来的。"i have to catch some zs." 也可以说"i have to take a nap." 或 "i need to snooze."。
