aAnd now, Words and Their Stories, from VOA Learning English. Sweat. Those tiny drops of perspiration that make up part of our bodies cooling system.
現(xiàn)在是美國之音慢速英語《詞匯掌故》節(jié)目 。汗水 。這些微小的汗珠組成了我們身體冷卻系統(tǒng)的一部分 。
We sweat when we do hard physical work. We sweat when we exercise.
當(dāng)我們做強(qiáng)體力勞動(dòng)時(shí) , 我們出汗 。我們運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)出汗 。
In these situations we can say we "work up a sweat". For example, running is a great way to work up a sweat.
在這些情況下 , 我們可以說我們"work up a sweat" 。例如 , 跑步是一種讓人出汗的好方法 。
We also sweat when it is hot outside. But we wouldn't say we worked up a sweat.
當(dāng)外面很熱的時(shí)候 , 我們也會(huì)出汗 。但我們不會(huì)說we worked up a sweat 。
We didn't do any work. We just got sweaty by being hot.
我們什么都沒做 。我們只是因?yàn)樘珶岫龊?。
We often use another verb when talking about sweating: break. For example, when I helped my friend move to her new apartment, I barely broke a sweat.
當(dāng)談?wù)摮龊箷r(shí) , 我們經(jīng)常使用另一個(gè)動(dòng)詞:break 。例如 , 當(dāng)我?guī)臀业呐笥寻岬剿男鹿r(shí) , 我?guī)缀鯖]有出汗(broke a sweat) 。
That is because she doesn't own very much. I just needed to help her move some books, kitchen items, a box of clothes, and a cat.
那是因?yàn)樗臇|西并不多 。我只是需要幫她搬一些書 , 廚房用品 , 一箱衣服和一只貓 。
Now, there are other situations when people may sweat. When we are very scared, nervous, worried, or simply uncertain about something, we could sweat.
現(xiàn)在 , 還有其他情況下 , 人們可能會(huì)出汗 。當(dāng)我們非常害怕、緊張、擔(dān)心或?qū)δ呈虏淮_定時(shí) , 我們會(huì)出汗 。
If any of these feelings go to an extreme, we might say we "broke out in a cold sweat". For example, people who do not like to speak in front of strangers might break out in a cold sweat if they have to talk to a large crowd of people.
如果這些感覺走到了極端 , 我們可以說我們"突然冒了一身冷汗"(broke out in a cold sweat) 。例如 , 不喜歡在陌生人面前講話的人如果不得不在一大群人面前講話 , 可能會(huì)出一身冷汗 。
Sweating can also be a sign that you are unsure of your ability. That is why one popular advertisement for underarm deodorant had this famous expression: "Never let them see you sweat".
出汗也可能是你對自己能力不確定的信號 。這就是為什么腋下除臭劑的一個(gè)流行廣告有這句名言:"Never let them see you sweat" 。
Sweating could also be seen as a sign that you are lying -- or at least not telling the whole truth. If you watch crime shows, sweating is one thing police look for when they question a suspect of a crime.
出汗也可能被視為說謊的跡象——或者至少?zèng)]有說出全部真相 。如果你看犯罪節(jié)目 , 警察在審問犯罪嫌疑人的時(shí)候會(huì)注意他們是否出汗 。
Now, sometimes we use the word sweat in a strange way. Let's say you help someone do something.
有時(shí)候我們會(huì)以一種奇怪的方式使用sweat這個(gè)詞 。假設(shè)你幫助某人做某事 。
But it was really not a big deal for you. The person thanks you.
但這對你來說真的沒什么大不了的 。那個(gè)人感謝你 。
And you can say to them, "No sweat"! This just means it was easy for you to do. But I would only use this with someone I know fairly well.
