Jessica在北京學(xué)漢語，她的中國(guó)朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會(huì)來請(qǐng)教她。今天是小北要問的：無語。

Jessica: Xiaobei! You look upset. What happened?

Yiru: 別提了！我有個(gè)朋友欠錢不還，拖了好長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了，每次都找各種理由搪塞我！氣死我了，以前我還和她理論，現(xiàn)在我簡(jiǎn)直是……簡(jiǎn)直是……無語了我！

Jessica: I see. You're so tired of your friend's excuses that you are speechless.

XB: Speechless？原來這就是無語的意思。

Jessica: Yes. For example, you can say "she was speechless after learning her boyfriend was dating another woman."

XB: 哦，知道男友跟別的女生交往后，她氣得說不出話來。

Jessica: Exactly. Basically, you can use "speechless" to mean something so bad or so surprising that you don't know what to say.

XB: I see. 跟你說，我認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)女生，她特別虛偽，總是假惺惺地稱贊別人，轉(zhuǎn)過頭來就說人壞話。Every time I see her being so fake, I'm speechless!

Jessica: I bet you also roll your eyes!

XB: Roll my eyes?

Jessica: If you roll your eyes, you're showing that you don't believe someone or you aren't interested in what they're saying.

XB: 哦，就是因?yàn)椴幌嘈呕蛘卟荒蜔┒籽邸＿@個(gè)說法真形象！就在今天早上，I got an email saying I was selected to win?five million dollars. It also asked for my bank account.

Jessica: That's fishy! It must be a scam!

XB: 我當(dāng)然知道這是詐騙郵件了！I rolled my eyes when I read it! 不過你說，要是我哪天我真中了500萬……

Jessica: That would blow me away! Meaning I'd be really amazed!

XB: 哦，to blow someone away就是使人大吃一驚，不過，這應(yīng)該是用在形容什么好事兒的時(shí)候吧？

Jessica: Exactly. For example, My new computer ran so fast that it blew me away!

XB: Or Jessica has so much cash hidden under her bed that it blows me away!

Jessica: What? Me? Cash? Now I'm rolling my eyes, Xiaobei!

XB: 我來總結(jié)一下今天學(xué)的詞：因?yàn)閰拹夯蛘叱泽@而無語，用speechless; 因?yàn)椴荒蜔┗虿幌嘈哦籽凼莚oll one's eyes; 某些好事讓人大吃一驚用blow someone away.
