(上接 第一部分

Barney: I found her online. I'm tired of the whole bar scene , the one-night hookups . I'm looking for a soul mate, someone who I can love and cuddle, or so it says in my profile. But this girl, she wants the same stuff and it's bumming me out .

我们在网上认识的。我厌倦了酒吧相识的一夜情,我想找一个可以相爱、可以相互依偎的知己。呵呵,至少我的介绍里是这样写的!这个女生,她要寻找的东西和我一样,我太失望了!


解析:

(1) scene: a particular area of activity that involves many people 场合

bar scene (酒吧),与之类似的还有 '' club scene '' (夜店)。

例:

I'm not into the club scene. (我对逛夜店不感兴趣。)

The nightclub scene isn't for me. = Nightclubs are not my scene . (逛夜店不是我的爱好。)

(2) tired of (doing) something: bored with something, because it is no longer interesting, or has become annoying 厌倦

例:

I'm tired of watching television; let's go for a walk.   (我看电视看得腻了,我们出去走走吧。)

I was getting tired of all her negative remarks.   (我逐渐受不了她的负面言论了。)

I'm sick and tired of (=very tired of) your complaining. (我实在受不了你的抱怨声了。)

(3) hookup:

先说一下该词的词根 ''hook'' 是“钩子”的意思,那么 ''hookup'' 肯定跟“勾住、连接”有关系,它具体的英文解释是 ''a temporary connection between two pieces of equipment'' (短暂接通)。

例:

The cabin has electric and water hookups. (这个小木屋通水通电。)

剧中 ''one-night hookup'' 是“一夜情”的意思。

''hookup'' 是名词,它分开写作 '' hook up '' 时,是动词,其中一个意思是 ''to cause (someone) to have a romantic relationship with someone''

例:

She tried to hook him up with one of her friends. (她想撮合他和她的一个朋友在一起。)

(4) say:

''say'' 除了表示“说”,还可以表示“……上写着”。

例:

What does this card say? (卡上写着什么?)

The letter says I've been accepted to the college. (信上说我已经被这所大学录取了。)

It says here that there will be a special guest at the concert. (这里写着,演唱会会有个特别来宾。)

The instructions say to add two eggs. (菜谱上写着,再加两个蛋。)

(5) stuff:

备注:这是美式英语口语中出现频率很高的一个词,可以用来指代任何不想指出具体名字的 不可数名词

例:

Where's my stuff? (我的东西在哪?)

Trust me. The stuff works. (相信我,这东西管用。)

The stuff's expensive. (这玩意很贵。)

I drink red wine and beer occasionally, but I don't touch the hard stuff. (我偶尔喝喝红酒啤酒,但我从来不喝烈性酒。)

(6) bum out: to feel sad or disappointed about something

备注:这是美式英语中较口语化的用法。

例:

The news really bummed me out. (这个消息让我感到很失望。)
