相信大家常常能夠在美劇里聽(tīng)到美國(guó)俚語(yǔ)，但是英式俚語(yǔ)你熟悉嗎？今天我們就來(lái)介紹一些地道的、有英國(guó)特色的表達(dá)，通常用于口語(yǔ)和非正式場(chǎng)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是英語(yǔ)從法語(yǔ)中借用的表達(dá)之一。它的意思是對(duì)某事物有非常細(xì)致的了解。（它不是俚語(yǔ)卻是非常地道的英式表達(dá)）

例句：

She is au fait with the company’s rules and regulations.
她對(duì)公司的規(guī)章制度了然于心。

2. Blinding – if something is blinding, it means that it’s excellent.
如果某事物是亮瞎眼的，意思就是這個(gè)事物非常棒、非常出色。

例句：

She makes a blinding roast dinner.
她做了一頓美味無(wú)比的燒烤晚餐。

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)
如果你說(shuō)晚餐吃個(gè)屁，那就是說(shuō)你什么也沒(méi)有吃。（這種表達(dá)十分不禮貌，需慎用）

例句：

I worked 7 hours on that job and I got bugger all thanks for my efforts.
我花了七個(gè)小時(shí)處理那項(xiàng)工作，但我的努力卻連個(gè)謝謝都沒(méi)撈到。

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!)
這個(gè)短語(yǔ)既可用作動(dòng)詞也可用作名詞，它的意思是犯了很嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤(動(dòng)詞)或錯(cuò)誤（名詞）。（這個(gè)表達(dá)跟男性器官毫無(wú)關(guān)系。）

例句：

You really cocked up this time. What are you going to do?
這次真是搞得一團(tuán)糟，你打算怎么辦？

5. Donkeys’ years – a long time or ages

很久很久，好多年

例句：

It was so great to see Sally again. I hadn’t seen her in donkey’s years.
能再次見(jiàn)到薩利真是太棒了，我好多年沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到她了。

6. Gobsmacked - “Gob” is mouth in British English and if you smack it, you probably would do it because you are amazed or shocked.

Gob在英式英語(yǔ)里是嘴巴的意思，如果你咂嘴，可能是因?yàn)槟愀械襟@訝或震驚。

例句：

I was gobsmacked by how much weight Pete had lost.
皮特瘦了這么多，太讓我吃驚了！

7. Gormless – another way to say vacant or clueless.
表示茫然或無(wú)知愚蠢的另一種方式。

例句：

She always has a gormless look in meetings.
開(kāi)會(huì)時(shí)她總是一臉茫然。

8. Gutted – really upset.

非常失望的

例句：

I was gutted when I didn’t get the job.

沒(méi)得到這份工作，我很失望。

9. Hunky-dory – fine, going well

很好，進(jìn)展順利

例句：

-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
非常累，精疲力竭

例句：

I’ve been working for hours on this report. I’m knackered
我花了好幾個(gè)小時(shí)做這個(gè)報(bào)告，已經(jīng)累趴下了。

11. Lurgy – if you’ve got the lurgy, it means you are ill with the flu or other mild disease.
如果你身體小恙，也就是得了流感或其他小病。

例句：

-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，請(qǐng)了病假。

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.
如果一個(gè)人對(duì)你所做的事情印象深刻，就可以使用這個(gè)表達(dá)。它跟美式英語(yǔ)里的good job差不多，也可以用于帶有諷刺意味的夸獎(jiǎng)。

例句：

-I managed to get two tickets for the One Direction concert at the O2 arena.
我設(shè)法弄到了兩張One Direction在倫敦O2體育館的演唱會(huì)門票。

-Nice one, mate!
干得漂亮，伙計(jì)！
