美国俚语大全

1. I couldn't care less. 这句话的意思是「我不在乎」，「缺乏兴趣」（lack of interest），也就是：I don't care at all. 或I don't give a hoot. 例如： 人家如果问：What do you think of the budget-cut?（你对预算削减有何看法？）你回答：I couldn't care less.（我毫不在乎） How do you like Mr. Lee's political point of view?（你喜欢李先生的政见吗？）I couldn't care less.（我才不在乎呢！） 但是有时说话者也有「口是心非」：例如： I couldn't care less about the promotion or pay raise.（我不在乎升级或加薪）而实际上他是根本在乎升级和加薪的，那么人家也许就会回答说：Yes, you do （care）. 至于I couldn't care more. 就是「我很在乎」（I care a lot.）或I care deeply. 同理： I couldn't agree more.=I totally agree.（我完全同意） I couldn't please you more.=I did my best to please you.（我尽量使你高兴）I couldn't be more right.=I am totally right. 但是老外为了「自尊」，不愿强调自己的错误，所以很少人说： I couldn't be more wrong. 注意：一般人都用否定句，但也有老外把肯定句与否定句互用。 不过，严格来说，I could care less. = I care to some degree.（care 的程度可能减少） I could care more.=I care some.（care的程度也许增加）（主词可用任何人称代名词：he, she, you, we, they 等。但只用could，不用can。） 2. No bones about it. 意思是：真实的，诚恳的（truly, sincerely or exactly），也就是to make no bones about it.（bone 要加s, it 是指something）例如： His wife is beautiful;no bones about it.（他的太太真是很漂亮） Mr. A made no bones about it when he talked about abortion issue.（当A 先生谈到堕胎问题时，他是诚恳的。） When I spoke on the topic,he said, "No bones about it."（也就是他同意我的看法） No bones about it;the weather is very chilly today.（今天是真的太冷了）
