“Dead” 在英式口语中的用法 | 地道英语
Neil:
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English — I'm Neil and this is Feifei. Feifei? Feifei!
Feifei:
Oh, sorry, Neil! 我昨天晚上睡得特别晚,今天 "dead tired"!
Neil:
You're dead tired, Feifei? Are you dying? That's awful! What have you got? Is it contagious?
Feifei:
Oh, Neil, don't be silly! I'm not sick or contagious or dying! I'm just really tired!
Neil:
That's a relief! But, you said you were "dead" tired. But you're not dying?
Feifei:
Oh, really, Neil? I think you're more tired than I am! I said "dead" tired because I'm really tired.
Neil:
So we can use "dead" to mean "really" or "very"?
Feifei:
That's right. 在英式口语里,我们可以用 "dead" 来加强一个形容词的语气 。比如:我刚才说的 "dead tired",这里用 "dead" 加强 "tired" 的语气,所表达的意思就是 “特别累” 。
Neil:
Well, that's dead confusing — perhaps we should take a look at some examples.
Examples
Is it lunchtime yet? I'm dead hungry!
The man sat next to me on the train this morning kept falling asleep on my shoulder — it was dead annoying!
I was dead happy when I passed my driving test!
Feifei:
这里是 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》节目 。在这集节目里,我们给大家讲解 "dead" 这个词一个鲜为人知的用法和意思 。"Dead" 是 "alive" 的反义词,意思是 “死亡的,去世的” 。但在英式口语中,尤其是英格兰北部的人,会经常把 “dead” 用在形容词前,加强语气,强调他们的话语 。Could you tell us a time when you were dead happy, Neil?
Neil:
Well, when I woke up this morning and found I had another hour until my alarm ***t off! I was dead thrilled!
Feifei:
Not quite. You were dead happy, but not dead thrilled! You can't use "dead" with extreme adjectives. 在使用的时候要记?。?quot;dead" 不可以用在极限形容词前 。
Neil:
Oh, OK, so you can say "dead cold", but not "dead freezing", or "dead good", but not "dead fantastic".
Feifei:
That was a dead good explanation, Neil! I see you have woken up a bit now, but I'm still dead tired.
Neil:
Well, how about you make us both a coffee while I finish the programme — it's your turn to make the coffees!
Feifei:
Err, no, Neil — I always make the coffee! I'll go make a coffee for me, not you, while you finish the programme!
Neil:
Uh-oh. I'd best go and make the coffees then! She's dead sensitive when she hasn't slept enough! Well, bye, everyone, and see you next time!
