用英語優雅地表達憤怒

很多人一生氣,所有的英文都忘光了,平常英文就說不出口,更何況是吵架,所以滿腦子浮現的都是髒話,這是很不好的。有人很絕,英文罵不過人家就用中文,反正對方聽不聽得懂都無所謂,重要的是讓他知道你很兇,你正在罵他就行了。現在讓我們來看看一些比較文雅的方式：

　　Hey! wise up!放聰明點好嗎？

　　當別人做了蠢事時,你可以說,「Don『t be stupid！」或「Don『t be silly.」但這是非常不禮貌的說法。客氣一點的說法就是：Wise up!你也可以用尖酸刻薄的語氣說：Wise up, please.然後故意把please的尾音拉得長長的。也有人會說, Hey! grow up.意思就是你長大一點好不好?例如有人20歲了還不會自己補衣服,你就可以說Hey!grow up.這根wise up是不是也差不多呢?

　　Put up or shut up.要麼你就去做，不然就給我閉嘴。

　　要注意的是，Put up字典上查不到「自己去做」的意思,但見怪不怪,很多口語都是字典上查不到的。這句話也讓人想到一句成語：walk the walk, talk the talk,即說到做到,有點像是中文裡的言行一致,或是只說：walk the talk也可以。

　　You eat with that mouth?你是用這張嘴吃飯的嗎？

　　別人對你說髒話,你就回敬他這句,言下之意是你的嘴那麼臟,你還用它吃飯？還有一種說法：「You kiss your mother with that mouth?」你用這張臟嘴親你媽媽嗎？所以下次記得如果有老外對你說髒話,不要再罵回去,保持風度,說一句,「You eat with that mouth?」就扯平了。

　　You are dead meat.你死定了。

　　也可以說：「You are dead.」你完蛋了。

　　Don『t you dare! How dare you!你好大的膽子啊

　　這句話可以在兩種場合說,第一種是很嚴肅的場合,如小孩子很調皮,不聽話，父母就會說,「Don『t you dare!」意思是你給我當心點,不然等會就要挨打了。另一種場合是開玩笑,如有人說他要跟某網友約會,你說「Don『t you dare?」就有點開玩笑的語氣，你不怕被恐龍給吃了嗎?

　　Don『t push me around.不要擺布我。

　　通常當我講這句話時，我還會想到一個字「bossy」，像是老闆一樣,喜歡指揮別人。如：「You are so bossy. I don『t like that.」這句話也可以單講,「Don『t push me.」或「Don『t push me any further.」還有一句跟push有關的成語：push the button,指使,操縱。如：「I know why you are doing this, someone is pushing your button!」


　　You want to step outside?

　　You want to take this outside?想到外面解決嗎？

　　老外跟我們一樣,二個人一言不合吵起來了,可能就有人要說這句了，指的就是要不要出去打架啦。我還聽過類似的用法,如：「Do you want to pick a fight?」你要挑起爭端嗎?或「This means war.」這就意味著跟我宣戰。

　　You and what army? You and who else?你和哪一路人馬啊？

　　要是有人跟你說「Do you want to step outside?」就回他這一句。意思是說：「喔……那你找了多少人來打架啊?」有時候電視里出現這句對白時,還會打出一排軍隊的電腦動畫,非常有意思。還有一句話也很好玩：「Who『s side are you on?」這是在快要打架時,你問人家：你到底是哪一邊的?

pretty good~

Heartily, sometimes can often hear relevant vocabulary in the film~

ya~
'coz it's really practical~

learnt a lot! thank you Ah Sea!

[:801:] I haven't spend some time learning idiomatic phrases. TOday I am satisfied. You do teach me some. I like two of them: wise up and put up or shut up.

I like this one: you eat with that mouth?

It is not polite to say "shut up" in US..

對方比較生氣你做法時，有時會說IT'S NOT WISE。。。。。我挺喜歡這種用法的。

[B][COLOR="Blue"]If you disagree but want to be courteous, you can say,
- I beg to differ,
- You may be right, but ...
- We have to be careful here...
- I have to say, the fact is...

If someone is being irrational,
- I'm sure you'll see it differently when you cool down,..
- I don't see the point of continuing the discussion...
- You are acting out of character...

In America, you can say anything as long as you say it politely.
And don't ever ask anyone to step outside![/COLOR][/B]

Originally the phrase means "put up the money to make a bet, or else don't argue any more".

不錯，大長學問，這可是書本上學不到的。

haha，比較搞笑

有暴力傾向

對了，哪個真的不是很優雅，其實是很……稍微有一點點「暴力」。

學到了很多.謝謝~

優雅的「唇槍舌劍」，在「傲慢與偏見」應該不少。比如這個電影片斷：Pride & Prejudice 《傲慢與偏見》（六） （具體對白在這裡）。
