说起英语中的俚语，真心让我们这些英语非母语的人头疼。上学的时候，委媛的英语老师只教过我们一句俚语：raining cats and dogs。如果不懂这句话意思的小伙伴，听到有人说“It’s raining cats and dogs out there”，肯定第一件事就是拿起手机拍照吧——天上下猫和狗啦!
但是，这句话的真正含义是：外面的雨很大。据说是因为17世纪的时候，英国有些城市雨太大了，街道都淹了，导致很多猫猫和狗狗都淹死了而浮在被水淹没的街道上。
虽然这是一个悲伤的俚语，但是也说明学会一些俚语以后，不仅会让你的英语更地道，还能了解好多故事呢。今天委媛来给大家安利一些英国人才懂的俚语，大家偶尔甩几个出来肯定惊艳全场。
含义： Full of men. (全是男人)
造句: “The club was fucking terrible last night, it was a proper sausage fest in there.” (昨晚这个俱乐部太糟糕了，全是男人!)

含义: A really long time.(特别长的时间)
造句: “How’s your friend Lisa from school?” “Oh, god knows. I haven’t seen her for donkey’s years.”(-你的校友Lisa最近怎么样了?-上帝才知道呢，我已经很久没见过她了)
含义: Are you joking?(你是在逗我吗?)
造句: “You’d rather go shopping with your mum than come down the pub with me? Are you having a laugh?” (你宁愿和你妈妈去购物也不愿意和我去酒吧?你是在逗我吗?)
含义: Really cheap.(真心便宜)
造句: “Where did you get that TV?” “Oh, I just found it on eBay, it was cheap as chips.” (-你从哪儿买的那台电视?-我在eBay上买的，真心便宜!)
含义: There you are.(就在那里)
造句: “Take a left at the end of the road, and Bob’s your uncle, there’s the strip club.” (在道路尽头左转，然后你要找的那个脱衣舞俱乐部了就在那里啦)。
含义: Being a third wheel (做一个电灯泡)
造句: “Oh, you’re going to the cinema with Jamie and Robin, do you not find it weird playing gooseberry like that?”(你要与Jamie和Robin一起去看电影?你难道不觉得做一个电灯泡很怪吗?)

造句: “Harry getting with my sister was one thing but him getting with my mum too just takes the biscuit.”(Harry勾搭我姐姐也就算了，但是他还要勾搭我妈妈可真的太过分了)。
如果大家平时看英剧很多的话，可能早就发现英国人真的很爱用俚语。很多人说，英式英语中这么多俚语主要是因为英国人很喜欢讽刺，而且直接说脏话有辱绅士作风，所以创造了这么多俚语。委媛看到这个解释，不知为何默默想要点头。毕竟这些俚语听起来就觉得：So British!
