雅思詞彙避諱用語

雅思 閱讀(2.76W)

我們都知道,在中國,我們有不少的話語是存在避諱的。在國外也是如此。下面,小編為大家盤點一些雅思詞彙避諱用語。

雅思詞彙避諱用語

 廁所

在美國一般都叫rest room或bath room(男女廁均可)或分別叫做 men‘s room 或 ladies‘ room(=powder room),不過在飛機上,則叫 lavatory,在軍中又叫 latrine。至於 W.C.(water closet)仍是過去英國人用的,在美國,幾乎沒有人使用。

 解小便

最普通的說法是 to urinate(名詞是 urination),如果去看病,護士為了化驗小便,就會給你一個杯子說:「Will (could) you urinate in this cup?」醫生或許也會問:「Do you have trouble urinating?」=Do you have difficulty voiding?(小便有困難嗎?)

此外,還有其他的說法:to piss = to take a piss = to take a leak = to void = to empty。 例如:

I need to piss = I have to take a leak.

How often do you get up at night to void?(晚上起床小便幾次?)

此外,john(j 小寫時,不是男人名字)是 bath room 或 toilet 的意思(也叫 outhouse),這通常是指在戶外工作場地所使用的臨時或流動性廁所(有時前面也加 portable 一字)。不過也有老外把家裡的廁所叫做 john。 例如:

There are several (portable) johns in the construction site.(在建築場地有幾個臨時廁所。)

He went to the john a few minutes ago.(他在幾分鐘前上了廁所。)

The manual labours have to use (portable) johns during their working hours.(勞動者在工作時間內需要使用流動性廁所。)

不過,小孩多半用 to pee 。例紓?

The boy needs to pee.

然而,「小便檢查」又叫做 urine test,因為這裡的. urine 是化驗的樣品(specimen)。 例如:

Do I need a urine test?

注意:to piss off 是片語,又是指對人生氣或對事物的不滿。不過這是不禮貌的片語,少用為妙。 例如:

He pissed me off. = He made me angry.

He always pisses off (at) the society.(對社會不滿)

如果「小便」有毛病,也可以告訴醫生說:

My urine is cloudy and it smells strong.(有濁尿,味道很重)

I have pus (或air)in urine.(尿有泡沫) (pus = cloudy; air = bubble)

I dribble a little urine after I have finished urinating.(小便後還會滴滴答答。)(即失禁毛病)

I am passing less urine than usual.(小便的量比平時少)

  解大便

一般是用 to make(或 have)a bowel movement 或 to take a shit。如果看病,醫生常問:「Do you have regular bowel movement?」(大便正常嗎?)(說得斯文些,就是「大腸在轉動」)

此外,還有其他的說法: to defecate =to discharge excrement(或 feces)=to take feces (或 faeces)。 例如:

The patient needs to take a shit. (=to make a bowel movement)

不過,小孩多半是用 to make a poo poo 或 to make a BM. 。

 附:雅思如何背單詞?

1. Keep a vocabulary notebook.

1、帶一個單詞筆記本

When you learn a new word, add it to your notebook, and write down a sentence that will help you remember how to use the word.

當你學到一個新詞,把這個詞記在你的筆記本上,並且寫下一個句子,幫助你記憶怎麼去使用這個單詞。

2. Use a learner's dictionary. There are several excellent dictionaries for learners of English. These provide simple definitions and sample sentences to help you learn new words.

2、使用字典。有幾本非常好的供英語學習者使用的字典,能給出簡單的註釋和例句來幫助你學習新單詞。

3. Choose words that are important to you. When you study topics and words that you are interested in, you remember them better.

3、選擇對你重要的單詞。當你學習你感興趣的話題和新單詞的時候,你記得會更快更好。

4. Group words by topic to remember them. It is easier to study new words when you organize them into groups like foods or action verbs.

4、將單詞按話題分類去記憶。如果你將新單詞按組來分類的話會更容易記憶,例如,食物或行為動詞。
