Cuts, $10.这里的cuts作“剪头发”解释。又作“减薪水”解释："Management shouldn't get a reward while everybody else takesa cut." I was laid off due to workforce cut. 因为裁员，我别解雇了。cut out 有两个意思，一是被动态，例句： I just don't think I'm cutout for music. 我根本就不是搞音乐的料。Hehas his work cut out for him in the company. 他在公司面临重大挑战。haveone’s work cut out for you, 遇到难干的工作。二是主动态，有停止的意思。例句：We cut out cable TV and have saved a lot of money. 我们断了有线电视，省了不少钱。Letus cut a deal. 我们来做一笔交易吧。short cut，捷径，There is no short cut for English learning. 学英语没有捷径可走。cut in line, 插队。5.

It was yukky. 你从哪里弄了这吃的？那么难吃。12. 与yukky相反的词是yummy，好吃极了。说这个词时，要不然就把音拖一下，要不然说它两次，表示你真的喜欢主人做的这道菜。13. finger-licking good味道好极了，licking是舔的意思，例如手抓羊肉，吃完后，再舔舔手，证明好吃。 It is finger-lickinggood. 一般的说法是：delicious,tasty, tasteful, mouth-watering,14.

寒月悲笳，万里西风瀚海沙;碧血丹心，关河渺茫梦征尘。回复: 跟我学英语口语、习惯用语51 sick恶心you make me sick. 你叫我恶心。 People do sick things to young girls nowadays. 现在总有人对小女孩做那些恶心的事。 He is sick. 如果你把sick一词念得很重，意思就是“他令人恶心。”如果念得不重，意思就只是“他病了。” 所以要小心。52 人们赞扬儿童时最常用的话有：Isn’t he cute He is so cute. He isadorable. Beautiful baby! 逗一两岁的小孩时，人们常说：Peek-a-boo, I see you.给小孩说再见：See you later, alligator!53 yes,这是现在的小学生都会的单词。但是大学英语专业的人有时也搞错，例如，对于对方的否定句表示赞同时，很多时候，很多人仍旧会回答yes，而不会说no。英语中表示同意的词很多，如果实在无法立马反应过来，不妨用其他的词。Absolutely, OK, you are right, exactly, certainly, yep,aye, just so, sure, right, you are right, correct, you said it. I agree withyou, 常用的还有sweat,you bet。很多美国人喜欢说：okey-dokey或者你可以说：I hear you.你说的我明白。说no的词也有好几个：nope, I don’t think so,等等。54 一个人要朋友要多写信，这英语的表达法可以用“drop me a line”： Don't forget to drop me a line when you visit a newplace. 回答的话有：“Trust me. I won't. I'll keep you posted.”（没问题，我不会忘记的，我会随时让你知道我的近况。）post当动词用，则是“邮寄，转递”，keep someone posted意思是keep in touch with someone, or touch base with someoneoften。只是很可惜，现在的中国邮局大部分都不办理邮政业务，而是成为银行了，所以信也没法寄。drop by的意思是，顺便访问（没有计划的那种访问。）Please drop by sometime for a drink. 随便找个时间过来喝一口。I dropped by my best friend's house to see if he was home.55 不叫朋友写信，就叫朋友打电话好了：Give me a buzz. orGive me a ring. 都可以。56 I am afraid he is hanging out with a bad crowd. 我很担心他交些不好的朋友。也有说with a wrong crowd.57喝醉了。英文有好些说法，很口语化的是：He is loaded. 就是drunk的意思。"When I talked to the president, he was loaded." Kissinger said about Nixon. 基辛格谈到尼克松时说：“我跟总统谈话时，他已经喝得烂醉。”under the influence of alcohol也是喝醉了的意思，但这是个法律词汇，意思是犯法了，尤其是在开车时，如果查出了司机是under the influence of alcohol则可能要坐牢。而drunk, loaded虽是醉酒，但不违法。很书面语的词汇是“intoxicated, intoxication”。写到这里，我想起了昆明巫家坝机场的一副广告：令人陶醉的地方--云南（大意），旁边的英语是：Intoxication: Yunnan. 这是典型的中式英语，外国人看了不知所云，听上去好像是云南人都是酒鬼一样。正确的英文应该是：The most attractive place: Yunnan;也可以说：Breathtaking scenery:Yunnan.58 He is a little bit punchy. 如果一个人晚上睡眠不足，早晨起来睡眼惺忪的样子，我们可以说他punchy.所以可以接着说：He needs a cup of coffee to wake up. 一个人看上去云里雾里的样子都是punchy，与喝醉酒貌差不多。59 load还有一个相关的口语词：freeloading, 揩油，滥用别人的慷慨。My roommate won’t pay anything for the grocery. I end up feeding him three meals. I am really fed up with his freeloading.(他这样揩我的油我实在是受不了。)揩油的人就叫“freeloader”，就是那种喜欢免费的午餐的人（those who enjoy free lunch）。60 市场上有很多关于学英语诀窍的书，但实际上，学英语就是一个背单词、与遗忘作斗争的过程。记忆力好的人总是少数。I cannot think of these English words off hand. One of the effective ways is to brush up on grammar rules a little bit everyday. There is simply no short cut. Off hand，我无法一下子就能想起这些英文单词。 Brush up on 常常复习，学英语最好是每天学一点，坚持不懈，集腋成裘：“Precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, idea by idea,”（一次学个概念，这里学一点，那里学一点，一次接触一个思想）。或者我们可以说 A little at a time, we can eat up an elephant eventually.（一次吃一口，我们最终可以把头大象给吞了。） It is a big job, but we can get it done. 这个工作巨大，但我们可以把它做好。所以不要相信那些100天就可以把英语学好的广告。如果有学生或一位网友100天可以学好英语的话，那我不就要失业了？

Or I have been around.这事我经历过。I have been there, so I know how you feel. 这些事我都经历过，所以我能明白你的感受。I have been around long enough to know this kind of guys. I can rip him to pieces in a second. 这种场合我经历多了，对这类人我太了解，我可以瞬间就把他给打得落花流水。（直译：把他撕得粉碎）My brother has always been there for me. 我(有困难时)哥哥是我随时的帮助。107 I have been there and done that. 这事我也经历过，而且也做过。（直译是：我已经到过那里，也做了那件事。）说这句话主要是增强你的说服力。也有简写为Been there. Done that. 亲身经历！这句话又发展为：Been there, done that and bought the T-shirt. 游客到了那里，也买了印了字的T衫，证明他经历过此事了。108 One bad apple can spoil the whole barrel. 一颗老鼠屎打坏一锅汤。这里的bad也可以用rotten。因为这句话是比喻，因此你可以接着说，One bad official can eventually corrupt a whole department. 一个污吏最终会带坏整个部门。

Take your licks and we’ll press on. 如果你犯了错，承认就好了，忍住伤痛，然后我们继续进行下去。lick通常的意义是“舔”，这里作“打击”。Press on! 继续努力。（这是在鼓励人时说的话。如果一个人干活干得好，你跟他分手时，就可以说Press on.）111. I am swamped. 我太忙了。112 I'm up to my neck in work.这句话的意思就是I am quite busy. 我太忙了，这工作把我忙得晕头转向。也可以说I have got a pretty tight schedule today. 我今天的日程安排得很紧。My hands are full right now. I am booked up. 书面语则是I am preoccupied.113 Iam going to have a long afternoon today.今天下午我会忙得不可开交。这里的long做“busy”解。114 I am busy today, and I have a bunch of odds and ends that I have to do before noon. 我有好些零碎活要赶，得在中午前做完，因此忙得很。115. Iam tired. My legs are giving out, mybrain is going to neutral, I need to take a shower and go to bed. 我累了，脚也走不动，头脑也昏沉，我要洗个澡然后睡觉。116. 口语中说没有考好可以用 flunk, “fail” 相对来说比较正规了点。He flunked all of his courses. 如果门门课都不及格的话，就会被学校开除，因此可以说“flunk out”：It is kind of sad, after Jason flunked out of high school,it is hard for him to find a job. Jason真有点惨，他高中没毕业，现在很难找到工作。117. flunkout, 肄业，用得更多的是dropout，或者dropout.There is no dropout in our school.我们学校没有肄业生。118. 说一个学生全面发展：“He is fully dimensional.”dimension的基本意思是“面”，例如“三维”：three dimensions。Fully demensional就是德智体美全面发展。说一个人优秀，比平常人多了点才华，可以说：He is excellent, and has the extra dimension. He is one dimensional. 他这个人就是一根筋。

Heis a stud.他很帅，他是个帅哥。注意stud只能用于男性，而且是那种具阳刚气、棱角分明、健壮的人（well-cut）。121. dreamboat不是“船”，而是“偶像”，此词多为女性用来说男性。Heis the romantic dreamboat. 他是爱情偶像。Ithought he was my dreamboat, but now I realize, he's just a silly old punt. 我以为他就是我梦中情人，但我现在才发现，他不过是个又笨又老的家伙。122. 女性相对应的词是bombshell，美得像炸弹，她一出现，就要炸翻一片男士。She is a sure-fire bombshell。以前江南一带形容女孩漂亮的俚语也有“她很炸”。不知道现在说女孩漂亮的俚语是什么了。123. 还有一个类似的说法：She is a knock-out.她艳惊四座。knock-out是拳击词汇，一拳把对手打出圈外。
