到英国后你会发现,要想跟英国人正常交流,不学点常用的俚语那是万万不行的,
下面16个俚语可是英国人最喜欢用的正宗俚语,赶紧来学习下吧~
1.Mate
经常用于亲密关系。和好朋友说话的时候可以用,类似于美国人用的“buddy,pal,dude”。例如:'Alright, mate'
2. Bugger All
相当于“nothing at all”,只不过这个说法更通俗一点。例如:'I’ve had bugger all to do all day.'
3. Knackered
用来形容一个很累,很疲惫,就是筋疲力尽的意思。例如:‘I am absolutely knackered after working all day.’
