容易在其他國(guó)家產(chǎn)生歧義的雅思詞匯盤(pán)點(diǎn)

Pants

Be careful who you tell in the U.K. that you have to go pants shopping—across the pond, "pants" means "underwear." When you're talking about jeans and khakis, you should call them "trousers."

在英國(guó)，如果你和人家說(shuō)你要去買(mǎi)“pants”(美式英語(yǔ)中意為“長(zhǎng)褲”)，那意思是你要買(mǎi)“內(nèi)褲”。如果你要買(mǎi)的是牛仔褲或卡其褲，你應(yīng)該用“trousers”這個(gè)詞。

Avoid Using In: The U.K., Ireland

Fanny

Own a fanny pack? In most other English-speaking countries, they're called "bum bags" because "fanny" is slang for a part of the female anatomy (and no, we're not talking about the rear end). So don't tell someone to stop being lazy and get off their fanny, either!

你有“fanny pack”(美式英語(yǔ)中意為“腰包”)嗎?在大多數(shù)英語(yǔ)國(guó)家，“腰包”更多地被稱(chēng)作“bum bags”，因?yàn)?ldquo;fanny”是對(duì)女性私處的俚語(yǔ)說(shuō)法(沒(méi)錯(cuò)，我們說(shuō)的不是臀部)。所以也千萬(wàn)不要對(duì)別人說(shuō)：別懶了，抬起“fanny”干活吧!

Pissed

In America, we may get "pissed off" when we're angry, but the Brits and Irish who are "pissed" are extremely intoxicated. "Taking the piss," however, means "to make fun of," not "to get drunk."

在美國(guó)，我們生氣時(shí)會(huì)說(shuō)“get pissed off”，但是英國(guó)人和愛(ài)爾蘭人如果說(shuō)“pissed”，意思是爛醉如泥。不過(guò)“taking the piss”意思是“取笑”，而不是“喝醉”。

Bangs

Prepare for weird looks if you're bragging about your new "bangs" in England. A forehead-covering haircut over there is referred to as a "fringe" instead. Overseas, "bangs" is more commonly used as the somewhat vulgar slang that it is interchangeable with in America.

如果你在英國(guó)炫耀自己的新“bangs”(劉海)，恐怕不少人會(huì)向你投去怪怪的眼神。在那里“劉海” 被叫做“fringe”而不是“bangs”。在美國(guó)以外的地方，“bangs”是一種粗俗的俚語(yǔ)說(shuō)法。

Avoid Using In: Anywhere outside of North America

避免使用的國(guó)家：北美以外的任何國(guó)家
