精通地道美语的秘诀

精通地道美语的秘诀(1)

salary/paycheck
paycheck就是上班族每个月领到的薪水。
对话一：
A：Do you make a good salary at your company?
(你在你公司的薪水高吗？)
B: It's not bad.
(还好。)
对话二：
A: Do you get paid on a salary or are you paid by the hour?
(你是领月薪的，还是计时算工资？)
B: I work for wages.
(我是计时算工资的。)


在台湾，上班族领薪水通常是领现金或由银行转帐，在美国是发一张paycheck。所以你若告诉美国人你今天领到一包薪水袋salary bag,对方可能会莫名其妙。你告诉他你今天领了paycheck,那就不会有任何误解了。
薪水有两种算法：一种是算月薪；一种是计时算工资。领月薪的薪水英文用salary,若是计时算工资的，英文用wage,或是by the hour。不过在美国说到salary是多少时，除非特别强调是月薪，否则指的是年薪，而不是月薪(monthly salary)。
领salary的人，加班并没有另外付钱。若是领wage的，也就是paid by the hour的，加班费是平常钟点费的1.5倍。

salary: 薪水
I am trying to get a raise in salary.
(我正在想办法得到加薪。)
My salary doesn't go as far as it used to.
(我的薪水没以前那么多。)
I get my salary monthly.
(我领月薪。)
Does he make a good salary?
(他的薪水高吗？)

paycheck:薪水支票；薪水袋
My paycheck is not much this week.
(我这星期领到的薪水不多。)
I don't like living from paycheck to paycheck.
(我不喜欢靠领薪水过日子。)
I'll trade my paycheck for yours.
(我可以跟你交换薪水袋。)


paid by the hour:计时算工资
I wish I got paid by the hour instead of on a salary.
(我希望我是计时算工资，而不是领月薪。)
Do you get paid time and a half for overtime?
(你加班费有没有一倍半？)

wages:工资
The clerk works for wages.
(这职员是计时算工资的。)

pay:付钱(付薪水)
The job pays ten thousand dollars a week.
(这工作每星期的工资的是一万元。)
I'll take the job at the gift shop. Because it pays more.
(我接受了在礼品屋的工作，因为那家付的薪水比较高。)

part-time/full-time
part-time是兼职，full-time是上全职班
对话一：
A：Do you work full-time or part-time?
(你是全职还是兼职的？)
B: I work full-time.
(我是上全职班。)
A：Is that 40 hours a week?
(一个星期是不是40小时？)
B：I work a lot of overtime, so it is usually more like 50 hours.
(我常加班，所以通常是50小时左右。)
对话二：
A: Does he have a full-time job?
(他有全职的工作吗？)
B: No, he only works part-time on the weekends.
(不，他只在周末兼差。)


part-time和fulll-time这两个字，可以当副词也可以当形容词。当副词用时如：兼职工作work part-time, 当形容词用时如：全职的工作full-time job。至于说某人是兼职工作的人，则是part-timer。

full-time:全职上班
Do you like working full-time?
(你喜欢全职上班吗？)
Does she have a full-time job?
(她有个全职的工作吗？)
What are the benefits of full-time employment?
(全职班有什么福利？)

part-time:兼职
I am looking for a part-time job.
(我在找一份兼职的工作。)
I work a part-time job for extra income.
(我兼职工作，多赚一点钱。)
He won't know the answer. He is only a part-timer.
(他不会知道答案，他只是兼职人员。)

overtime:加班
How much overtime did you work last week?
(你上星期加班多少小时？)
She is a workaholic--she worked 30 hours overtime last week.
(她是工作狂--她上星期加了30小时的班。)
I'm trying to work overtime so I can buy a new car.
(我正想办法加班，以便可以买部新车。)

work on/work for
work on是要特别花工夫去做的事；work for是在某处上班

对话一：
A: How is Mary?
(玛丽怎么样？)
B: I don't know.
(还不知道。)
The doctor is still working on her.
(医生正在医治她。)
I hope she'll be all right.
(我希望她没事。)

对话二：
A：Who do you work for?
(你替谁做事？)
B：I work for a small insurance company.
(我在一家小保险公司上班。)

work on是指特别花工夫去做某事，例如：医生work on一个病人，指医生正在医治病人；work on a project就是去做一个项目。
work for的介词for指“替谁工作”；也就是在哪儿上班的意思。Who do you woke for?的Who是介词for的受词，理论上应该Whom,但口语上美国人都习惯于用Who，用Whom反而显得太文诌诌。

work on:花时间做某事
I have to work on this project tonight.
(我今晚一定要做这个项目。)
She is supposed to be working on her homework.
(她应该做她的家庭作业。)
The doctor is still working on your mother. There is no news yet.(医生还在医治你的母亲，还没有消息。)

work for:替～做事(在哪里上班)
Who does he work for?
(他在哪里上班？)
Who were you working for then?
(你那时替谁工作？)

在美国每周上五天班，星期六和星期日不上班，所以从星期五下班后到星期日为止都是weekend(周末)。但有时遇到星期五或星期一也放假时，就会有一连三天或四天的周末，所以，叫long weekend或three day weekend。

weekend:周末
We went out of town for the weekend.
(我们周末到外地去。)
John works part-time on the weekends.
(约翰在周末做兼职的工作。)

three day weekend:三天的周末
What are you going to do over the three day weekend?
(你这三天的周末要做什么？)

long weekend:长周末
Are you taking a trip over the long weekend?
(这个长周末你要去旅行吗？)

doctor’s office/hospital
看医生不一定要到医院去

对话一：
A: Do you need to go to the hospital?
(你需要去医院吗？)
B: Yes, I am hurt badly.
(要，我伤得很重。)

对话二：
A：Where is your doctor’s office?
(你的医生诊所在哪里？)
B：It is on Main Street nest to my office.
(在我公司旁的缅因街上。)
A: What time is your appointment？
(你约好几点去看医生？)
B: 2:00 p.m.
(下午2点。)

在美国看医生都是在doctor’s office，所以中文说去看医生，可以说go to see a doctor，也可以说go to the doctor’s office，却不说go to the hospital。因为hospital是生大病、受重伤需要动手术或治疗时才去的。虽然有的doctor’s office是设在hospital内，但你还是去doctor’s office，而不是去hospital。

hospital: 医院
hospital医院
How close is the nearest hospital?
(最近的医院有多近？)
Is St. Thomas a good hospital?
(圣汤姆斯医院是一家好的医院吗？)

in the hospital 住院
She is in the hospital having her tonsils removed.
(她住院要拿掉扁桃腺。)
How long were you in the hospital when you gave birth?
(你生产时住院多久？)

doctor’s office: 医生诊所
Your doctor’s office called today.
(你的医生诊所今天打电话来。)
What time is your appointment at the doctor’s office?
(你跟医生约好几点？)
If this cold gets worse, I will have to go to the doctor’s office.
(如果感冒恶化的话，我就必须去看医生。)
I am looking for a doctor’s office near my home.
(我在找一位离我家近一点的医生诊所。)

精通地道美语的秘诀
get a check-up/check into the hospital
check into the hospital住院，做健康检查

一般说某人住院，英文是（某人）is in the hospital。但若只是打算要住院时，不是说（某人）will be in the hospital，而是说（某人）is checking into the hospital。
送某人去住院，不是send (某人) to the hospital，而是check(某人) to the hospital，而是check(某人) into the hospital。平时不生病时也应该定期做健康检查，英文是get a check-up。

check into the hospital: 要住院
I am checking into the hospital tomorrow.
(我明天要去住院。)
They checked him into the hospital last night.
(他们昨晚把他送去住院。)

get a check-up: 做个健康检查
My father is going to have a check-up in the morning. I hope he’s okay.
(我父亲明天早上要去做健康检查，我希望他没事。)

give someone a check-up: 替某人做健康检查
The doctor gave John a check-up.
(医生替约翰做健康检查。)

college/university
上大学说go to college，或是go to university都可以

对话一：
A: What college did you attend?
(你上哪一所大学？)
B: I went to Washington University.
(我上华盛顿大学。)
A: I’ve never heard of that.
(我没听说过那所大学。)
B: It is in Wyoming.
(那是在怀俄明州。)

对话二：
A：My university wants me to speak at a luncheon.
(我们学校要我在午餐会上演讲。)
B：Wow, that’s an honor.
(哇，那是一项荣誉呢！)

上大学到底应该说go to college，还是说go to university呢？理论上，college是学院，综合好几个college而成立一所university。有一天，我与朋友上高三的女儿在谈她要去上大学的事情，谈话中每次说到上大学，我都是说go to college，女孩的妈妈忍不住向我抗议，说我女儿是要去university，而不是要去college。实际上，美国人说大学，用college或university都可以。但因为university音节太长，美国人在谈话中，多用college。
如果是提到大学名称时，因为每一所大学有其固定的名称，就不可以把college和university随便混用。例如California University，就不可叫该校California College，该校若叫做New York College，你不可称它为New York University。

university: 大学
He was in every one of my classes at the university.
(大学时,他每一科都跟我同班。)
I think your university is more expensive than mine.
(我认为你们学校比我们学校贵。)
What courses are you taking at the university?
(你在大学里修哪些课？)

college: 大学
Which college are you going to go?
(你要去上哪一所大学？)
I’m going to college next fall.
(我明年秋天要去上大学。)
He dropped out of college.
(他退学了。)
Did you like your college professors?
(你喜欢你的大学教授吗？)

score/grade
score和grade都是成绩，只是评定方式不同

对话一：
A: What kind of marks did you get in school?
(你在学校的成绩如何？)
B: I made very good grades.
(我的成绩很好。)

对话二：
A：What was your score on the test?
(这次测验你考几分？)
B：I made 96 out of 100 points.
(我考96分。)

学业成绩的评定有好几种方式，若是以A、B、C或是甲、乙、丙来打成绩，英文就是grade或mark。若是以92分、98份、70分……等来给成绩，那就该用score。但是score是指得到的总分，例如：My score on the math test was 89.(我的数学是89分。)如果答错一题要扣5分，要说five points，而不是fine scores。
你告诉你的美国朋友你考了98分，对方可能不知道你考了高分。在中国，我们的满分总是以100分来算，但在美国，满分可能是200分，甚至是600分。为了让对方知道你考了很高分，你可以说I made 98 out of 100 points。若是美国人告诉你I made a perfect score。是说他得到满分，但不一定是100分，但在中国一般的考试perfect score就是100分了。

grade: 等级；成绩
His grades are mostly B’s.
(他的成绩大部分是B。)
I made a bad grade.
(我的成绩考得不好。)
I don’t care about making good grades.
(我不在乎考好成绩。)
打分数；给成绩
The teacher is grading the papers.
(老师在打报告的分数。)
The teacher is marking the literature papers.
(老师在打文学报告分数。)
The teacher is scoring the math test.
(老师在算数学测验的分数。)

mark: 等级；成绩
His dad said he would buy him a car if he made good marks.
(他的父亲说如果他得到好成绩的话，就要买车子给他。)
She got a mark of B in spelling.
(她的拼写成绩是B。)
His mark in spelling was C.
(他的拼写成绩是C。)

score: 总得分
Mary made a perfect score on her test.
(玛丽考了满分。)
My score on the spelling test was 78.
(我的拼写测验考了78分。)
What was your score on English test?
(你的英文考几分？)

To be continued

一次这么多，学不完了。

Good sharing. I like it. Up.

Great!It must do me favor.

multiple choice questions
multiple choice questions到底只有一个答案，还是有很多答案？

对话一：
A: How was the test?
(你考得怎么样？)
B: It was easy. They were all multiple choice questions.
(这次考试很简单，都是选择题。)
A：That should be hard.
(那应该很难。)
Each question could have had several answers.
(每题可能有好几个答案。)
B：No. Each question has only one answer in the multiple choice questions.
(不，选择题每题只有一个答案。)

对话二：
A：Was the test multiple choice or fill in the blank?
(这次教课 选择题还是填充题？)
B：It was both.
(两项都有。)

来美国念书的留学生，每个人都一定遇到过multiple choice questions，到底只要选一个答案，还是会有好几个答案？依照字面意思来看，中国来的留学生都认为应该是有好几个答案，但是美国人的思想很单纯，multiple choice是从好几个答案当中选一个，就这么简单。那么中国的多重选择题英文该如何说呢？那应该是multiple answer questions。

multiple choice questions: 选择题
My teacher gave us the hardest multiple choice questions.
(我的老师给我们一次最难的选择题测验。)
When in doubt, I always choose “C” on multiple choice tests.
(当我不知道答案时，我总是选“C”。)
What did you put for the first multiple choice question?
(你选择题第一题选什么？)

互相对答案
What did you get on the second question?
(你第二题答什么？)
I answered “All of the above”.
(我答以上皆是。)
I hope I picked the right answer.
(我希望我选对答案。)
Was “A” the correct answer?
(“A”是正确答案吗？)

true/false questions: 是非题
Do you prefer True/False questions or multiple choice questions?
(你比较喜欢是非题，还是选择题？)

multiple answer questions: 多重选择题
That question had multiple answers.
(那道问题有好几个答案。)

flunk/pass/fail
考试不及格是fail，flunk

对话一：
A：Did you pass the test?
(你考试及格了吗？)
B：Yes, I scored 90 points out of 100.
(是的，我考了90分。)
A：Really? I got a 92.
(真的？我考了92分。)
B：Way to go.
(真不错。)

对话二：
A：Well, I flunked my algebra test.
(我的代数不及格。)
B：Yes, I failed it, too.
(我也是不及格。)

　　考试考不及格，正式的英语说法是fail。台湾的学生喜欢说某科被当，英语可以说flunk。
　　考试时满分不一定是100分，为了使意思更清楚，正式一点的说法是I scored 90 points out of 100.(满分是100分我考了90分)。如果大家都知道总分是100分时，可以简单说My English score was 90.或是I got a 90 on English test.(我英文考了90分)。

pass: 考及格
Did you pass the mid-term?
(你期中考及格了吗？)
I passed this one with flying colors.

　　对话：

　　(明天是运动会。)
　　B：Do I need to bring anything?
　　(我需要带什么东西吗？)
　　A：No, just wear comfortable clothes.
　　(不，只要穿得舒服一点。)
　　B：I will.
　　(我会的。)

　　运动会在美国就叫field day或sports day，你若按中文字面意思去直译，美国人会听不懂。

　　field day: 运动会
　　I like to participate in field day.
　　(我喜欢参加运动会。)
　　I won the potato sack race at field day.

　be done: 做完了
　I’m done with my part of the chores.
　(我做完了我该做的杂务。)
　When you’re done, let me know.
　(当你做完时，让我知道。)

　be through: 作完

keep/raise/grow
在家里养宠物和在外面养动物的“养”字不一样

对话一：
A：Mom, there is a kitten following me home.
(妈,有一只小猫跟着我回家。)
Can I keep it?

精通地道美语的秘诀(16)

send/deliver
你自己不亲自deliver时，就要send

对话一：
A：I would like to send a dozen roses to my wife.
(我要送一打玫瑰花给我太太。)
B：What address would you like them sent to?

对话二：
A：The newsboy didn’t deliver papers today.
(报童今天没送报来。)
B：You should call before 10 o’clock to have one delivered.
(那你在早上10点以前打电话去要他们送一份来。)

send和deliver中文都翻译成“送”的意思，实际上这两上词的用法不一样。当报童送报来时要用deliver；当你到花店要送花给某人时要用send。因为deliver是某人亲自送某物到某地，例如：报童拿着报纸deliver到你家；而send是要派人送东西到某地，不是你自己亲自去送。所以例句中，你告诉花店店员要send玫瑰花给你太太时，是请花店派人送玫瑰花去，不是你自己亲自deliver。

send: 送；寄
Did you send her flowers?
(你送她花吗？)
I will send your jacket to you.
(我会把你的夹克寄给你。)

send for: 派人去请~来
Mary is quite ill. Please send for the doctor.
(玛丽病得很重，请派人去叫医生来。)

deliver: 送
The store will deliver our TV set.
(商店会把我们的电视送来。)

A：I know, but I promised I’d phone her.
(我知道，但我答应打电话给她的。)
B：Fine, just let me know when you’re done.
(好吧，你打完后告诉我一声。)

当动词
Who was that who phoned?
(打电话的人是谁？)

bargain/good deal
bargain也可以说是一个good deal

对话：
A：I can’t believe you went shopping.
(我真不敢相信你会去买东西。)
B：But this was on sale.
(但是现在正在打折啊。)
A：I’ll bet it was a real bargain.
(我打赌价钱一定不贵。)
B：Yes, I got a good deal.
(是的，我买得很便宜。)

打折拍卖的东西并不一定便宜。用好的价钱买到便宜的东西是bargain，或是a good deal。

bargain: 真正便宜的东西
This shirt was such a bargain.
(这件衬衫真的很便宜。)
That’s a bargain.
(那真的很便宜。)
At ten thousands dollars, this car is a bargain.
(以1万元来说，这车真的是买得便宜。)

a good deal: 真正划算的买卖
They had a good price on it.
(他们的价钱很便宜。)
I got a good deal on this.
(这东西买得很划算。)
What a deal!
(价钱真的便宜！)
