小明英語課堂 第7課:勃然大怒

This word is "blow", and the slangs are "blow a fuse"and "blow your mind"

這個(gè)單詞是“blow”，今天的俚語是“blow a fuse”和”blowyour mind”

"Blow" in these cases is to explode

“Blow”在這里的意思是爆炸

The slang "blow a fuse" in Chinese means勃然大怒

“Blow a fuse”的中文意思是勃然大怒

You might recognize "blow a fuse" as a term describing short-circuiting of some kind

你可能會(huì)覺得是一個(gè)描述電路短路的詞

because of the word “fuse”

因?yàn)?rdquo;fuse”

But it doesn’t mean that kind of fuse

不過它不是那個(gè)意思

It’s the kind of fuse you attach to a bomb or a dynamite

它的意思是炸彈上的導(dǎo)火索

It can be used in the following ways:

它可以這樣用:

Don’t blow a fuse, Sally. Or Sally totally blew a fuse last night

薩利，不要發(fā)怒?；蛘撸_利昨天晚上發(fā)怒了

The meaning is just like the bomb.

意思就像炸彈一樣

She lit her fuse and exploded. She got really really mad

她點(diǎn)燃了她的導(dǎo)火索，然后爆炸了。她非常的生氣

So be careful when you are using this slang

你在使用”blow a fuse”的時(shí)候需要注意

because the phrase "blow a fuse"

如果你強(qiáng)迫或者不加思索的說出來

can come across as rude if said in a forceful or inconsiderate way

有可能是很不禮貌的

So think twice before you use it and make sure you say it as a joke

所以如果你要把它用在一個(gè)玩笑里的時(shí)候

Or when the person you are talking about isn’t listening

你需要去三思

To blow someone’s mind means that

“Blow someone’s mind”的意思是

something they are doing is really impressing or surprising you

某人做了使別人很印象深刻或者驚訝的事情

For example, if you ask someone how many digits of pi

如果你問一個(gè)人他知道Pi后面的多少位數(shù)

they knew and they recited over 100 numbers

然后他背了一百多位

you can say, "Wow it blew my mind how many numbers of pi you knew"

你可以說”你能背這么多位Pi的數(shù)值，真讓我震撼”

You can also use this term

這個(gè)俚語也可以用在

if someone did something horrible and surprising that you did not expect them to do

當(dāng)某人做了讓你意想不到的糟糕的或驚訝的事情

If Johnny cheated on Shelly

如果約翰對雪莉出軌了

and you never thought Johnny would cheat on Shelly

你從來都沒想過約翰會(huì)出軌

you can say "It blows my mind that Johnny would do something like that

你可以說“約翰做出這種事讓我很震撼

I never thought he would cheat"

我覺得他不會(huì)去做。”

So again, "blowing your fuse" is being very angry and yelling at a bunch of people

所以，“blow your fuse”是非常憤怒

And "blowing someone’s mind" is surprising them”blow someone’s mine”

是讓人驚訝

Our first example for today is

我們第一個(gè)例子是

"Because of its irritating effect on my skin, this moisturizer is something I no long use"

“因?yàn)樗拇碳ば?，我再也不用這個(gè)保濕霜了”

Because of its effect on A, B is something I no longer use

因?yàn)锳的作用，我再也不用B了

A is something that B has an effect on

A是一個(gè)受B影響的某物

and if you don’t like what B does to A, you don’t want to use A anymore

如果你不喜歡B對A的影響，你不想再用A了

One last example for you

最后一個(gè)例子是

"Because of its uncomfortable key placement

“因?yàn)檫@個(gè)鍵盤的鍵排列的不是很舒適

this keyboard is something I no longer use"

我再也不想用了”

Why don’t you try making a sentence?

你也來試試吧

Again, because of its effect on A, B is something I no longer use

因?yàn)锽對A的影響，我再也不想用B了

And of course you can change "I" to anyone else’s name

當(dāng)然，你也可以把I換成任何一個(gè)人的名字

We have an English tip of the day for you

我們今天有一個(gè)英語竅門

How many of you watch English movies and try to practice English?

你們有多少人嘗試從看電影中學(xué)英語?

While I agree that it’s a very good way to practice listening skills

我覺得這是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的練聽力的辦法

it’s not the best way to learn new words

但是不是學(xué)新單詞最好的方式

You have to be careful which movie you choose

你需要注意電影的選擇

If you choose old movies or one set at older times like historical dramas and such

如果你選古老的電影或者講述古老事情的電影
