生活會碰到的英語口語

　　小編今天就給大家整理了一些平時可能會用到的英語口語，大家可以熟讀熟練，背一背，希望各位同學們在生活中碰到的時候可以用到哦。

　　會面時間

　　1. heads up 當心，警告，通報

　　Head就是頭，是人身體上很重要的一部分。在這個習慣用語裡，head是多數，所以在head後面要加s, heads。 Headsup就是在一件事發生前先告訴某人，或者是先警告某人。heads up用做名詞時，前面可加不定冠詞a。

　　請看下面的例子。紐約一家大公司在舊金山有個分公司。分公司的經理聽說紐約總部的總裁和總經理要來舊金山檢查工作。於是，舊金山分公司的經理就召開了一個職工會議，他對工作人員說：

　　例句-1：I want to give you all a heads up that somebig shots from New York will be here next Monday to see how we're doing. So let's make sureour desks are clean and that we show them what we're doing - we want to put on a good showfor them.

　　我要預先告訴你們，紐約的幾位重要人物星期一要到這兒來檢查我們的工作。所以，我們一定要把桌子弄乾淨，讓他們看看我們在做什麼——我們要做得好一點給他們看看。

　　2. face time 會面時間，面對面交談

　　這兩個單詞都很簡單，face就是臉，time就是時間。那麼，這兩個詞合在一起又是什麼意思呢? Face time的意思是面對面跟一個人談話。

　　下面這個例子是一個人在說他非常羨慕他的一個朋友。這個朋友是一家服裝公司的推銷員，由於他很能幹，所以賺了不少錢，生活得很舒適。

　　例句-2：This guy Joe is the best salesman I ever saw. If he can get 20 minutes of face timewith a buyer for a department store he'll walk out with a nice big fat order. I'll bet Joe could sellbathing suits at the North Pole.

　　我從來還沒有見到過像Joe那麼好的銷售員。要是他能夠和一個百貨公司的採購員面談二十分鐘，他一定會得到一大筆訂貨。我可以打賭，Joe即便到北極去都能推銷游泳衣。

　　3. Think outside the box 跳出固有思維模式;跳脫框架思考;解放思想

　　Think就是想;box就是一個盒子。Think outside the box按字面解釋就是：在盒子外面想。

　　這好像沒有什麼意思，它的意思是一個人富有想象力，他能超越一般的範圍提出嶄新的想法。

　　我們都知道達爾文和愛因斯坦等偉大科學家。他們都是因為有特殊的創新而聞名世界。但是，還有許多沒有名氣的人也利用他們的想象力創造出一些幾乎每個人都需要用的東西。下面就是一個例子：

　　例句-3：A lot of everyday things we take for granted. Take windshield wipers on cars forexample. The earliest autos didn't have wipers cleaning rain off so drivers could see. Butsomebody happened to think outside the box and now all cars have them.

　　我們對許多日常用的東西都已經習以為常。汽車上的擋風玻璃刮水器就是一個例子。最早的汽車上沒有那能夠刮掉雨水，讓司機能看清楚的刮水器。但是某一個人發揮了創新精神，現在所有汽車上都有刮水器。

　　戀愛十宗罪***2***

　　6. You're afraid of breaking up

　　你們總是害怕會分手

　　Nobody in a truly happy partnership is afraid ofbreaking up. If you are, that's a big warning signthat something's wrong. But often, what's wrong isthe fear itself. Not only does it betray a lack of trust, but it shows a lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. Quite frankly, this isn't going to be verysatisfying for you, and it also isn't going to be verysatisfying for your partner.

　　擁有真正幸福感情的人是不會害怕分手的。如果你在擔心，那就是在警告你，有些東西不太對勁。但經常真正不對勁的是害怕情緒的本身，它不僅洩露了你對對方的不信任，也是你自身缺乏自信自尊的表現。坦白說，如果你對這段感情不滿意，那你的愛人又怎麼會滿足呢?

　　7. You're dependent

　　你太依賴對方

　　There's a thin line between companionship and support and dependency. If you depend onyour partner — that is, if you absolutely cannot live without her or him — you've crossed thatline. The pressure is now on your partner to fill whatever's missing in you — a pressure s/hewill learn to resent.

　　互相扶持還是太過依賴，只在一念之間。如果你事事依賴對方***也就是說你離了他/她就活不了***，你就越界了。你身上的壓力全部轉嫁到你的愛人身上，這樣的壓力，會讓他/她最終怨恨你。

　　8. You expect happiness

　　你以為愛情裡只有幸福

　　A sign of a bad relationship is that one or both partners expect either to make the other happyor for their partner to make them happy. This is not only an unrealistic expectation to lay onyourself or on them — nobody can "make" you happy, except you — but it's an unrealisticexpectation to lay on your relationship. Relationships aren't only about being happy, andthere's lots of times when you won't and even shouldn't be.

　　一段糟糕的感情，其中一個訊號就是期望對方會讓自己幸福，或者以為自己會讓對方幸福。這不僅僅是你對自己或者對方的不切實際的期望***要知道除了你自己沒人能讓你幸福***，也是你對感情不現實的幻想。一段感情，不僅僅是快樂和幸福，還有很多痛苦、悲傷和難過的時刻。

　　9. You never fight

　　你們從來不吵架

　　A good argument is essential, every now and then. In part, arguing helps bring out the littlestuff before it becomes major, but also, fighting expresses anger which is a perfectly normalpart of a human's emotional make-up. Your relationship has to be strong enough to hold all ofwho you are, not just the sunny stuff.

　　偶爾的爭論很重要。從某種程度上來說，爭吵可以在大問題出現前就消化掉根源的小矛盾。通過爭吵表達憤怒，也是我們情感渲洩最完美的方法。你們的感情要足夠牢固，可以包容你們的所有一切，而不只是快樂陽光的一面。

　　10. You expect it to be easy/you expect it to be hard

　　你以為感情很容易/很難

　　There are two deeply problematic attitudes about relationships. One is that a relationshipshould be easy, that if you really love each other and are meant to be together, it will work itselfout. The other is that anything worth having is going to be hard — and that therefore if it'shard, it must be worth having. The outcome of both views is that you don't work at yourrelationship and quickly get burnt out.

　　有兩種觀點對感情的理解非常不對：一種認為維繫感情很容易，如果真的深愛彼此註定會在一起，那就順其自然，車到山前必有路;一種認為只有歷盡艱險才能值得擁有，所以既然經過各種磨難和艱苦，那這段感情肯定值得擁有。這兩種觀點的結果是，你不會經營感情，而愛的花火也會很快熄滅。

　　Your choices

　　你其實可以選擇

　　There isn't any one answer to any of the problems above. There are choices though. If yousuffer from any of these problems, figure out how to fix it, whether that means therapy, asolo mountain retreat, or just talking to your partner and committing yourselves to change.
