一看到“加油”,你是否就會(huì)想到"come on, add oil 呢?”
其實(shí)這個(gè)詞在中文中有很多意思,在不同的意思下,英文表達(dá)也是不一樣的。
今天我們就來(lái)聊聊“加油”這個(gè)詞的英文表達(dá)。
拉拉隊(duì)員朝球員們大聲喊道:“加油!加油!”。
The cheering squad shouted loudly to the football players, "Cheers!"
The cheering squad shouted loudly to the football players, "Fighting!"
The cheering squad shouted loudly to the football players, "Go! Go! Go!“
cheers 的意思是祝酒用語(yǔ),意思是“干杯”,而fighting 一詞又太過(guò)激烈。
給運(yùn)動(dòng)員加油鼓勁我們通常只要說(shuō)“Go! Go! Go! 就好了。
此外“加油”還有以下意思:
給運(yùn)輸工具添加燃油
英語(yǔ)可用動(dòng)詞”fuel“,或者”refuel"。
The car stopped to refuel.
車(chē)停下來(lái)加油。
All aircrafts must fuel before a long flight.
所有的飛機(jī)在長(zhǎng)途飛行前都必須加油。
給機(jī)器添加潤(rùn)滑油:
這里可把 "oil” 當(dāng)動(dòng)詞來(lái)使用。
He oiled his bike and pumped up the tyres.
他給自行車(chē)上了油,給輪胎打了氣。
所以 The car needs fueling 和 The car needs oiling 的意思是完全不同的。
加把勁兒
老師通常會(huì)跟同學(xué)們說(shuō)學(xué)習(xí)上可要加油哦
可用 ”make an extra effort" 或者 ”work with added vigor" 。
You must make an extra effort in your studies.
You must work with added vigor in your studies.
為某人鼓勁加油
英語(yǔ):cheer sb. on/ root for sb.
Good luck! I will be always rooting for you.
祝你好運(yùn)!我會(huì)一直為你加油的。
The spectators cheered the players on.
觀眾為選手們加油助威。
另外再來(lái)兩個(gè)與”加油“相關(guān)的短語(yǔ)
火上澆油
Just ignore her comments. She enjoys adding fuel to the fire when people are feeling upset.
不要理會(huì)她的話,她喜歡在別人煩惱的時(shí)候火上澆油。
I wanted to help, but I was afraid I would add fuel to the fire.
我本來(lái)想幫忙,但又怕火上澆油。
添油加醋
When recounting his experiences, she is fond of adding oil and vinegar to them.
When recounting his experiences, she is fond of adding highly-colored details to them.
她在敘述自己的經(jīng)歷時(shí),總愛(ài)添油加醋。
好啦,沒(méi)想到一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的“加油”在英文中竟有這么多不同表達(dá)。
大家在用之前一定要認(rèn)真思考,準(zhǔn)確選詞哦。
