10個(gè)老外最常用的英語(yǔ)擬聲詞

今天我們聊聊英語(yǔ)中的擬聲詞

Oh yeah, in every language, we have “sounds” that can express how we feel. ?Like in Chinese,?啊， 呀， 吧， 嗯, and so on, all have Chinese characters, to represent that sound. ?We have those in English too. ?They’re called onomatopoeia. ?So today I want to teach you?10 of the most common “sounds” we use to express ourselves in English writing.

沒(méi)錯(cuò)，在每種語(yǔ)言里，都有一些“聲音”可以用來(lái)表達(dá)我們的心情。比如像中文里的：啊、呀、吧、嗯，等等。每個(gè)聲音都有不同的漢字來(lái)表達(dá)。同樣的，英語(yǔ)里也有。它們稱為“擬聲詞”。所以今天，我想教你10個(gè)我們?cè)谟⑽膶?xiě)作中常用的擬聲詞！

uh-huh

[??h?]

This means “yes” or “yeah,” just like how?嗯?means yes in Chinese.

它的意思是“是的”，就像中文里我們用“嗯”來(lái)表示同意。

Example:?

Cleveland: ?You’re still thinking about your ex-girlfr

iend, aren’t you? ?

克利夫蘭：你是不是還在想著你的前女友？

Cleveland Jr: ?Uh-huh…

小克利夫蘭：嗯哼…

oops

[?ps]

This is the sound you make when you make a mistake!

當(dāng)做錯(cuò)一件事時(shí)，就會(huì)發(fā)出這個(gè)聲音。

Example:?

Oops! ?I didn’t mean to say “She’s hating him!” I meant to say “She’s dating him!”

啊呀！我并不是想說(shuō)“她討厭他！”我想說(shuō)的是“她在和他約會(huì)！”

doh!

[d?u]

This sound is from the Simpsons TV show, but now it’s super famous in almost all western countries. ?Doh now is a sound of self-stupidity, you say it when you do or say something wrong and feel stupid for it.

這個(gè)聲音來(lái)自《辛普森一家》，這個(gè)聲音幾乎已經(jīng)火遍了所有的西方國(guó)家。現(xiàn)在，Doh 是用來(lái)表達(dá)“我真笨”的一種聲音，當(dāng)你做錯(cuò)一件事或說(shuō)錯(cuò)一句話話時(shí)，發(fā)出這個(gè)聲音來(lái)表示“我真笨”！

Example:?

Wait… you mean… my job interview was yesterday, not today??? ?D’oh!

等等… 你是說(shuō)… 我的面試是在昨天，而不是今天？？？我去…

grrr

[g?]

Shows you’re frustrated or annoyed with something.

用來(lái)表示你對(duì)某件事感到沮喪或惱怒。

Example:?

Grrr, overtime again, I’m never going to get to go home!

啊… 又要加班，晚上又不能準(zhǔn)時(shí)回家了！

arg / argh!

[ɑrg]

This also shows frustration ?and annoyance, but when you’re more angry, like you can’t take it anymore! ?Rage!!! ?(also it's the sound that pirates make)

這個(gè)聲音也是用來(lái)表示你的沮喪和憤怒，但是程度更深，比如你再也忍受不了了！非常憤怒的感覺(jué)?。ㄅc海盜發(fā)出的聲音類似）

Example:?

Arg! ?I hate these reports! ?They never stop coming! ?That’s it, I’m gonna quit!

啊啊啊?。∥姨憛掃@些報(bào)告了！簡(jiǎn)直沒(méi)完沒(méi)了！老子不干了！

ah

[ɑ]

Just like?啊?in Chinese, it expresses that you’ve realized or finally understand something. ?Sometimes, of course, it could just be someone screaming “Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

就像中文里的“啊”，用來(lái)表示你終于發(fā)現(xiàn)或者弄懂某件事了。有時(shí)候，也可以是某人在瘋狂的喊叫：“Ahhhhhhhh”!

Example:?

You have to plug in the computer before turning it on? ?Ah, that make sense actually…

在開(kāi)機(jī)前你要把電腦先接上電源？啊… 說(shuō)的真有道理…

Aww / ahhh

[ɑ:]

Like “ah” but longer, it can express disappointment; usually we say another word like “shoot, crap, man” after it.

有點(diǎn)像“ah”，但發(fā)音更長(zhǎng)，可以用來(lái)表達(dá)失望；通常會(huì)在這個(gè)聲音后面加上“shoot, crap, man”之類的詞。

Example:?

She already has a boyfriend??? ?Awww mannnn! :(

它已經(jīng)有男朋友了？？？啊啊啊… 太可惜了！:(

hmmm / hrmmm

This shows someone is in deep thought, thinking about something. ?

他表示某人正在深思熟慮，思考著某事。

Example:?

Hmmm… which do I want… a pepperoni pizza, or a durian pizza? ?Argh, they are both so tempting!!

嗯… 我到底要選哪一個(gè)呢… 意大利辣香腸披薩，還是榴蓮披薩？啊啊啊… 它們看起來(lái)都好好吃！

ack!

['?k]

This sound is similar to “argh!” except it shows more shock and surprise. ?It happened suddenly and you’re still not sure what to do about it.

這個(gè)聲音和“argh”很像，不過(guò)它表示震驚和驚訝的程度要比“argh”更深。好比某件事突然發(fā)生了，你仍然處于震驚和驚訝中，不知道該如何是好。

Example:?

Ack!!! ?I just dropped my new 20,000 rmb phone in the toilet! ?What do I do, what do I do????

啊啊?。。?！我把一臺(tái)兩萬(wàn)塊新買的手機(jī)掉到馬桶里了！該怎么辦??？該怎么辦！？

pfft

/ft/

This is a “reply” sound that you make when someone says something you think doesn’t matter, or even might be so silly or stupid, that it’s the only thing you can say in response. ?It can also show annoyance or disagreement.

這是一個(gè)“回復(fù)”的聲音，當(dāng)有人說(shuō)你認(rèn)為不重要的東西時(shí)，或者甚至可能是很傻或很蠢的，這是你唯一能回應(yīng)的聲音。也可以表現(xiàn)出你的惱火或不認(rèn)同。

Example:?

I bet I could get the phone number of any girl in this bar! ?-Pffft, you’d be lucky if they even looked at you.

我敢打賭，我能得到這個(gè)酒吧里任何女孩的電話號(hào)碼！切！她們?nèi)绻€會(huì)正眼看你一眼你就該偷笑了。

Phew! ?Finally done. ?Oh no, I forgot “phew!” ?This is the sound of being relieved, like “Finally! Thank God! It's over’!” So yeah, phew, finally we are finished. ??

呼~(yú)終于結(jié)束了。噢不，我居然吧“phew”給忘了！這是一種“解脫”的聲音，就像在說(shuō)“終于！感謝上帝！終于結(jié)束了！”是的，呼，終于結(jié)束了。

Hopefully this will prepare you to understand a bit more internet English, and the funny sounds us English speakers make when expressing ourselves.?

希望今天的內(nèi)容能夠幫你更好的理解一些英語(yǔ)中的網(wǎng)絡(luò)用語(yǔ)，同時(shí)也能了解到外國(guó)人當(dāng)他們想表達(dá)自己的想法時(shí)通常會(huì)說(shuō)出的一些擬聲詞。

So OK, that's it for now. ?My name is RJ高曉龍, thank you for listening to my「1MinuteEnglish」! ?Cya~
