小英 实战英语口语交流英语中的俚语和习语常常让我们这些非母语者捉摸不透,有时一句话的字面意思和实际含义简直天差地别。今天,我们就来聊聊一个常见的误解:当老外跟你说“Are you smoking”,他可能并不是在关心你的健康状况,问你是不是在抽烟。那么,这句话到底是什么意思呢?别急,接下来我们就一探究竟,并顺便学习几个与抽烟相关的地道英语表达。
“Are you smoking?”是什么意思?
在英语中,“Are you smoking?”这句话,如果用在非字面意思上,通常表示对方对你的说法或行为感到非常惊讶、难以置信,类似于中文中的“你在开玩笑吧?”或“这也太夸张了吧?”。
例句:
You just won the lottery? Are you smoking?(你刚中了彩票?你在开玩笑吧?)
He said he could finish this project in an hour? Are you smoking?(他说他一个小时就能完成这个项目?这也太夸张了吧?)
“你抽烟吗”用英语怎么说?
如果你想问别人是否抽烟,正确的英语表达是“Do you smoke?”。
例句:
Do you smoke? I noticed you have a lighter in your pocket.(你抽烟吗?我注意到你口袋里有打火机。)
I quit smoking a year ago. How about you? Do you smoke?(我一年前就戒烟了。你呢?你抽烟吗?)
“烟瘾大”用英语怎么说?
“烟瘾大”在英语中可以用“have a heavy smoking habit”或“be a chain-smoker”来表达。其中,“chain-smoker”指的是那种一根接一根不停地抽烟的人。
例句:
He has a heavy smoking habit and it's really bad for his health.(他烟瘾很大,这对他的健康真的很不好。)
My dad is a chain-smoker and I've been trying to convince him to quit for years.(我爸爸是个烟鬼,我已经试着说服他戒烟好几年了。)
