大家常??梢月?tīng)到有的丈夫抱怨說(shuō),自己的太太在家里老是嘮叨個(gè)沒(méi)完,說(shuō)他家務(wù)事做得不夠,衣服到處亂扔等。美國(guó)人用一個(gè)字來(lái)形容這種愛(ài)嘮叨的現(xiàn)象,那就是:nag。
Nag這個(gè)字的意思就是沒(méi)完沒(méi)了地嘮叨,讓聽(tīng)的人很煩燥。但是,這個(gè)字不是用來(lái)專(zhuān)門(mén)形容太太的,它還可以用在其他方面,例如,下面這個(gè)例句里的工人把這個(gè)字用在他老板身上:
"I like my boss except for one thing--he's always nagging me about getting to work on time. I'm never more than five minutes late, and that's only when the bus doesn't show up on time."
這個(gè)工人說(shuō):“我的老板什么都挺好,就是老是囑咐我要按時(shí)上班,嘮叨個(gè)沒(méi)完。實(shí)際上,我即便晚到也從來(lái)也沒(méi)有超過(guò)五分鐘的,而那也只是在公共汽車(chē)晚到的時(shí)候才會(huì)發(fā)生。”
這句話(huà)里nag是個(gè)動(dòng)詞,但是,nag也可以用做名詞來(lái)形容那些不斷批評(píng)別人,要?jiǎng)e人按著他的意志行事的人。下面就是一個(gè)例子:
"My wife is such a nag about my smoking--she keeps after me all day long to stop it. You know, I've been smoking twenty years now and giving up my four packs a day is hard to do."
這個(gè)人說(shuō):“我的太太在我抽煙的問(wèn)題上真是愛(ài)嘮叨,為了要我戒煙她成天說(shuō)個(gè)沒(méi)完??墒悄阋溃页闊熞呀?jīng)有二十年啦,要戒掉一天四包煙的習(xí)慣可是很難的事?!?BR> inexorable
adj.鐵面無(wú)私的; 殘酷無(wú)情的
例:
This is an inexorable law governing social advancement.
這是社會(huì)前進(jìn)的必然規(guī)律。
