If you’re learning a foreign language you’ve probably been in this situation before: getting all excited about coming across a seemingly familiar word only to find out that its actual meaning is very different from what you expected. There’s no doubt that?false friends?– i.e. words or expressions that have similar forms to the ones in a person’s native language, but different meanings – can be a major minefield for language students.
如果你在學(xué)一門(mén)外語(yǔ),早些時(shí)候你可能經(jīng)歷過(guò)這種情況:因碰到一個(gè)貌似熟悉的單詞而全然興奮,卻發(fā)現(xiàn)它實(shí)際的含義跟你預(yù)料中的迥然不同。毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),假朋友,如在一個(gè)人的母語(yǔ)中有類(lèi)似形式卻有不同含義的單詞或詞組,對(duì)學(xué)語(yǔ)言的學(xué)生而言可能是主要的雷區(qū)。

Below are 13 foreign words that may be completely innocuous in their native language, but sound very rude indeed to English ears.

注:請(qǐng)大家試著念一念,在英語(yǔ)中的釋義相比瞬間get了吧?歡迎大家留言分享……實(shí)在不認(rèn)識(shí)的查查俚語(yǔ)詞典吧……因?yàn)閷?shí)在……太污太黃暴了==大家慎用
