雅思詞匯避諱用語
我們都知道,在中國,我們有不少的話語是存在避諱的。在國外也是如此。下面,小編為大家盤點(diǎn)一些雅思詞匯避諱用語。
廁所
在美國一般都叫rest room或bath room(男女廁均可)或分別叫做 men‘s room 或 ladies‘ room(=powder room),不過在飛機(jī)上,則叫 lavatory,在軍中又叫 latrine。至于 W.C.(water closet)仍是過去英國人用的,在美國,幾乎沒有人使用。
解小便
最普通的說法是 to urinate(名詞是 urination),如果去看病,護(hù)士為了化驗(yàn)小便,就會給你一個杯子說:「Will (could) you urinate in this cup?」醫(yī)生或許也會問:「Do you have trouble urinating?」=Do you have difficulty voiding?(小便有困難嗎?)
此外,還有其他的說法:to piss = to take a piss = to take a leak = to void = to empty。 例如:
I need to piss = I have to take a leak.
How often do you get up at night to void?(晚上起床小便幾次?)
此外,john(j 小寫時,不是男人名字)是 bath room 或 toilet 的意思(也叫 outhouse),這通常是指在戶外工作場地所使用的臨時或流動性廁所(有時前面也加 portable 一字)。不過也有老外把家里的廁所叫做 john。 例如:
There are several (portable) johns in the construction site.(在建筑場地有幾個臨時廁所。)
He went to the john a few minutes ago.(他在幾分鐘前上了廁所。)
The manual labours have to use (portable) johns during their working hours.(勞動者在工作時間內(nèi)需要使用流動性廁所。)
不過,小孩多半用 to pee 。例紓?
The boy needs to pee.
然而,「小便檢查」又叫做 urine test,因?yàn)檫@里的 urine 是化驗(yàn)的樣品(specimen)。 例如:
Do I need a urine test?
注意:to piss off 是片語,又是指對人生氣或?qū)κ挛锏牟粷M。不過這是不禮貌的片語,少用為妙。 例如:
He pissed me off. = He made me angry.
He always pisses off (at) the society.(對社會不滿)
如果「小便」有毛病,也可以告訴醫(yī)生說:
My urine is cloudy and it smells strong.(有濁尿,味道很重)
I have pus (或air)in urine.(尿有泡沫) (pus = cloudy; air = bubble)
I dribble a little urine after I have finished urinating.(小便后還會滴滴答答。)(即失禁毛病)
I am passing less urine than usual.(小便的量比平時少)
解大便
一般是用 to make(或 have)a bowel movement 或 to take a shit。如果看病,醫(yī)生常問:「Do you have regular bowel movement?」(大便正常嗎?)(說得斯文些,就是「大腸在轉(zhuǎn)動」)
此外,還有其他的說法: to defecate =to discharge excrement(或 feces)=to take feces (或 faeces)。 例如:
The patient needs to take a shit. (=to make a bowel movement)
不過,小孩多半是用 to make a poo poo 或 to make a BM. 。
附:雅思如何背單詞?
1. Keep a vocabulary notebook.
1、帶一個單詞筆記本
When you learn a new word, add it to your notebook, and write down a sentence that will help you remember how to use the word.
當(dāng)你學(xué)到一個新詞,把這個詞記在你的筆記本上,并且寫下一個句子,幫助你記憶怎么去使用這個單詞。
2. Use a learner's dictionary. There are several excellent dictionaries for learners of English. These provide simple definitions and sample sentences to help you learn new words.
2、使用字典。有幾本非常好的供英語學(xué)習(xí)者使用的字典,能給出簡單的注釋和例句來幫助你學(xué)習(xí)新單詞。
3. Choose words that are important to you. When you study topics and words that you are interested in, you remember them better.
3、選擇對你重要的單詞。當(dāng)你學(xué)習(xí)你感興趣的話題和新單詞的時候,你記得會更快更好。
4. Group words by topic to remember them. It is easier to study new words when you organize them into groups like foods or action verbs.
4、將單詞按話題分類去記憶。如果你將新單詞按組來分類的話會更容易記憶,例如,食物或行為動詞。
