　　隨便

　　Non-Americans take offense when someone says， “whatever” because it is insulting.

　　除了美國(guó)人以外的其他人都很排斥聽(tīng)到“Whatever”這個(gè)詞，因?yàn)檫@是種侮辱。

　　If someone visiting the U.S. asks a question or makes a statement and gets “whatever” as a response， it means the person responding doesn‘t care what the foreigner has to say.

　　如果某人在去美國(guó)的時(shí)候，問(wèn)了一個(gè)問(wèn)題或者說(shuō)了什么話得到“Whatever”這個(gè)回答的話，就意味著回答他的那個(gè)人根本不在意他說(shuō)了什么。

　　When using this word， you‘re basically saying that you don’t care what the person has to say.

　　當(dāng)你再用這個(gè)詞的時(shí)候，你基本上是在說(shuō)你根本不在意那個(gè)人說(shuō)了什么。

　　So please don‘t be rude and don’t channel your inner “Clueless.”

　　所以不要太粗魯，別將你內(nèi)心的“自我”心理表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。

　　2 You Know

　　你知道的

　　One popular but confusing phrase is， “you know.”

　　一個(gè)常用并且容易混淆的詞就是“You Know。”

　　A popular phrase among the American youth and valley girls， it can be really annoying to the listener， especially if he or she doesn‘t completely understand what you’re talking about.

　　這是個(gè)美國(guó)青年跟山谷女孩之間常用的詞，對(duì)聽(tīng)者來(lái)說(shuō)，這個(gè)詞真的很煩，尤其是用在如果他或者她沒(méi)有完全明白你在說(shuō)什么的時(shí)候。

　　Saying “you know” is like asking， “Are you listening？” or “Do you understand？” Just think how annoying that would be.

　　說(shuō)“You know，”就好像是在說(shuō)：“你有在聽(tīng)嗎？”或者“你聽(tīng)明白了嗎？”只要想想就知道有多惱火了。

　　3 No Way

　　沒(méi)門(mén)兒

　　When people hear this term， they feel like they have to defend what they‘re saying and explain it further.

　　別人聽(tīng)到這個(gè)詞的時(shí)候，會(huì)覺(jué)得自己必須要為自己的話辯解，于是解釋得更多。

　　Foreigners consider the term “no way” as an ignorant response because the person can‘t think of anything else to say.

　　外國(guó)人覺(jué)得“Mo way”這個(gè)詞是一種無(wú)視別人的回答，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)詞會(huì)讓別人無(wú)話可說(shuō)。

　　Responding with “no way” basically means that you don‘t believe what a person is telling you.

　　用“No way”這個(gè)詞回答的話基本上就意味著你不相信那個(gè)人所說(shuō)的話。

　　4 like

　　就好像…

　　The traditional use of the word “like” is a synonym for “such as” or as a verb but the overuse of the word as a meaningless filler is very annoying to foreigners.

　　“like”傳統(tǒng)上是“比如”的同義詞或者是用作動(dòng)詞的，但是過(guò)度使用這個(gè)詞作為沒(méi)有意義的副詞的話就會(huì)讓外國(guó)人覺(jué)得很煩。

　　For instance， if you said， “He worked like 15 hours straight，” a foreigner would consider this a bad habit or careless way of speaking.

　　比如說(shuō)，如果你說(shuō)：“他好像工作了15個(gè)小時(shí)，”外國(guó)人就會(huì)認(rèn)為你這是一種不好的習(xí)慣或者是一種不嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)恼f(shuō)話方式。

　　祝你好運(yùn)

　　“Good luck with that” is a dismissive phrase that means you don‘t care what happens and you’re glad it‘s not you that has to deal with the problem.

　　“祝你好運(yùn)”是一個(gè)很不屑的短語(yǔ)，意思是你根本不在乎會(huì)發(fā)生什么或者你很高興遇到麻煩的那個(gè)人不是你。

　　It offers no help to the person who has the problem and you‘re brushing them off instead of helping.

　　這句話不僅不會(huì)給那個(gè)遇到困難的人任何幫助，反而會(huì)打擊到他們。

　　6 My Bad

　　我的錯(cuò)

　　Foreigners consider “my bad” as an easy out， rather than a sincere apology for a mistake.

　　外國(guó)人認(rèn)為“我的錯(cuò)”很容易說(shuō)出口，而不是因?yàn)榉稿e(cuò)了而真心地道歉。

　　If you do something that‘s wrong or made a mistake and you say， “my bad，” you’re telling the other person to get over it and move on.

　　如果你做錯(cuò)了什么事或者犯了什么錯(cuò)，然后你說(shuō)“我的錯(cuò)”的話，你就是在告訴別人忘掉過(guò)去往前看。

　　別的國(guó)家的人聽(tīng)到“what‘s up？”的時(shí)候，他們覺(jué)得這是句很不屑的話。

　　What’s up 傳統(tǒng)上是用來(lái)代替“Hello”這個(gè)詞來(lái)表示問(wèn)候的，但是給人一種不在意別人在做什么的感覺(jué)。

　　The person answering the question feels the only response is “nothing” meaning the person asking doesn‘t truly care！

　　回答問(wèn)題的那個(gè)人會(huì)覺(jué)得只有“nothing”這個(gè)回答才意味著那個(gè)問(wèn)問(wèn)題的人真的不在意。

　　嚇?biāo)懒?/strong>
