题主是想追求更加简练精准和 native speaker,让人听起来像是几个 ABC 在喝酒聊天,而不是李雷和韩梅梅经典对话 How are you。。。
这里分享一下美国英语。优点是和老美聊天很顺畅,缺点是习惯了这套非常随意的用法之后,再想正式规范的表达,很多时候需要现想词的,就有点反应迟钝不流畅了。女王陛下高冷的说,哪有什么美语?只有英式英语和 mistake!
一,军用口语演变过来的,在表示行动和决策上,显得很精干
- Clear. / All clear. (检查完)安全了,没事了。事情都搞定了
- Go ahead,相当于 Yes,please。好的你说吧 / 你就这么做吧
- Watch my back。Cover me。掩护我,哥们我要上了
- I got your back,我给你殿后,我会支持你
- Roger. / Roger that. / Copy that. 表示收到信息 / 指令,会执行的
- Abort!Abort!行动中止,别干了赶紧撤
- false alert,假警报,虚惊一场
- Just follow my lead. 按我说的办,听我指挥
冰河世纪 3:
Eddie:Look!He's right there!(看,他在那呢!)
Buck:Roger.(晓得)
Eddie:No,Sid(不是,是希德)
Buck:I know,Roger!(我知道啦!晓得!)
Crash:How about we get Sid first,and then go back for Roger?(我们可不可以先救希德,再去救“小德”?)
二、出神入化的介词。很多说法用简单一个介词就能表达出来了,非常简洁到位
