I was walking along the South Bank in London the other day with my client and home stay student, Martine when I realised that there were more foreign languages being spoken than the English language! Of course, the summer season has started which means that London will be one of the most visited cities by foreign tourists and learners of English on full immersion courses.
前幾天，我同客戶還有寄宿學生馬丁一起沿著倫敦南岸大學散步時，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)說外語的人比說英語的人還要多!當然，暑假來了，這就意味著倫敦將會是眾多外國游客和全身心投入英語課程的學習者們會經(jīng)常拜訪的城市之一。

If you are one of these tourists or learners, you are very likely going to hear plenty of British slang spoken in pubs, restaurants, public transport and on the television. So, it would be no bad thing to familiarise yourself with some of these colourful expressions. These expressions are typically British slang and are used in spoken language and informally.
如果你是眾多游客或者學習者中的一員，你很有可能在酒店、餐館、公共交通場所和電視上聽到大量的英式俚語。因此，熟悉這些生動的表達對你來說有益無害。這些表達都是很典型的英式俚語，通常用于口語和非正式場合。

1.?Au fait?– this is an example of a French expression that has become part of the English Language. It means to have good detailed knowledge of something. (This is not slang but a very British English expression.)
Au fait –這本來是法語短語，現(xiàn)在成了英語中的一部分。它的意思是對某事物有非常細致的了解。（它不是俚語卻是非常地道的英式表達）

“She is au fait with the company’s rules and regulations.”
她對公司的規(guī)章制度熟悉，了然于心。

2. Blinding – if something is blinding, it means that it’s excellent.
Blingding—如果某事物是亮瞎眼的，它的意思就是非常棒、非常出色。

“She makes a blinding roast dinner”
“她做了一頓很棒的美味無比的燒烤晚餐?！?/div>

3.?Bugger?all – if you’ve got bugger all for dinner, it means you have nothing. (This is an impolite expression so use it with caution)
Bugger all –如果你說晚餐吃個屁，那就是說你什么也沒有。（這種表達十分不禮貌需慎用）

“I worked 7 hours on that job and I got bugger all thanks for my efforts”.
“我花了七個小時處理那項工作，但我的努力卻連個謝謝都沒撈到?！?/div>

4. Cock Up – This can be used as a verb or a noun and it means to make a serious mistake or a mistake. (It has nothing to do with male parts!)
Cock Up –這個俚語既可用作動詞也可用作名詞，它的意思是犯了很嚴重的錯誤或犯錯誤。（這個表達跟男性器官毫無關系。）

“You really cocked up this time. What are you going to do?”
“這次真是搞得一團糟，你想干什么？”

5. Donkeys’ years – a long time or ages?
Donkeys’ years –很久很久，好多年。

“It was so great to see Sally again. I hadn’t seen her in donkey’s years.”
“非常高興再次見到薩利，我好多年沒有見到她了?！?/div>

6.?Gobsmacked?- “Gob” is mouth is British English and if you smack it, you probably would do it because you are amazed or shocked.
Gobsmacked –“Gob”是嘴巴的意思，是英式英語，如果你用這個表達“smack it”因為你被震驚到了，所以你可能會張大嘴巴。

“I was gobsmacked by how much weight Pete had lost”.
“皮特瘦了這么多，真讓我太吃驚了！”

7.?Gormless?– another way to say vacant or clueless.?
Gormless –另一種表示茫然或無頭緒的方式。

Mr Bean’s?gormless?look.
憨豆先生看起來很憨很萌。

“She always has a gormless look in meetings.”?
“開會她總是一副一臉茫然的表情?！?/div>

8.?Gutted?– really upset.
Gutted –非常不安

“I was gutted when I didn’t get the job”.
“沒得到這份工作，我心煩意亂。”

9.?Hunky-dory – fine, going well,
Hunky-dory –很好，進展順利。

“How are things with you?”
“最近怎么樣?”

“Everything is hunky-dory, thanks.”?
“一切都挺好的,謝謝.”

10.?Knackered?– very tired, exhausted
Knackered –非常累,精疲力竭

“I’ve been working for hours on this report. I’m knackered“.
“我花了幾個小時做這個報告，已經(jīng)累趴下了.”[/cn

11.?Lurgy?– if you’ve got the lurgy, it means you are ill with the flu or a?virus. It means that people will stay away from you.
[cn]Lurgy –如果你得了傳染病，也就是感冒了或者帶了其他病毒。這就意味著人們會和你隔離遠離你。

“Where’s Sarah today?”?
“薩拉今天去哪里了？”

“She’s off sick. She’s got the lurgy“.
“她生病了，被隔離了?！?/div>

12. Nice one! – If someone is?impressed?by what you’ve done, they could use this expression. It’s similar to “good job” in American English. It can also be used?sarcastically.?
Nice one! –如果一個人對你所做的事情印象深刻，他們就能用這個表達方式。它同美式英語里的“干得好”同義，也可以用于帶有諷刺意味的夸獎。

“I managed to get two tickets for the One Direction concert at the O2?arena”.?“Nice one, mate!“?
“我設法弄到了兩張One Direction音樂會的票，在O2舞臺?！?/span>“伙計，這真棒?！?/span>
