【适用场合】
第一个我们先学一下slap的用法,英文当中slap作动词,后面可以跟宾语,当及物动词使用,可以表示“扇”这个动作。
比如说:
eg: She slapped his face. 或者She slapped him across the face.
她扇了他一耳光。
eg: She slapped him in his face because he had a sneer on his face.
因为他脸上挂着讥讽冷笑的表情,所以她扇了他一耳光。
你也可以这么用
把slap当做名词,有一个短语叫做:
a slap in the face
它的意思,其实就是目前网络语言经常说的“啪啪打脸”这个含义。
A slap in the face is an action or remark which insults and upsets you.
eg: It was a real slap in the face when she got promoted over me, especially after the amount of work I did on that last project.
上个项目我做的工作比她多,我没升职她反而升职了,真是打脸。
第二个我们说说mortified这个形容词的用法。
If you say that someone is mortified, you mean that they feel extremely offended, ashamed, or embarrassed.
这个形容词可以表示:“倍感尴尬的、非常羞愧的”等等这样的意思。
eg: If I reduced somebody to tears I'd be mortified.
如果我把别人给弄哭了,我会感觉到很尴尬。
eg: She was mortified to realize he had heard every word she said.
她很尴尬地发现,他听到了她说的每一句话。
eg: She was absolutely mortified to hear her son swearing at the teacher.
当听到她儿子骂老师,她肯定特别尴尬。
