英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)練習(xí)小對(duì)話(huà) 第91期:陳詞濫調(diào)
迷你對(duì)話(huà)：
A:I think that’s settled.
我想就這么決定了。
B:I'm tired of yourcut-and-driedopinions. Who do you think you are!
我煩死了你那些陳詞濫調(diào)，你以為你是誰(shuí)呀?
A:How dare you speak to me like this.
你敢這樣對(duì)我說(shuō)話(huà)。
B:Why not?
為什么不敢?
地道表達(dá)：cut-and-dried
解詞釋義：這是一條形容詞性的習(xí)語(yǔ)。關(guān)于習(xí)語(yǔ)的出處有兩種解釋。一種是認(rèn)為此語(yǔ)用來(lái)指17世紀(jì)英國(guó)草藥店里出售的成藥，這是藥是割下后曬干的，因?yàn)檫h(yuǎn)不如剛采摘的或地里長(zhǎng)著的那些草藥那么新鮮;另一種解釋為，此語(yǔ)鋸好晾干且已經(jīng)刨好成型的備用木材?，F(xiàn)在該習(xí)語(yǔ)被沿用下來(lái)，引申為“枯燥乏味的，刻板迂腐的”。也是我中文中說(shuō)的“老生常談的”“陳詞濫調(diào)的”。
支持范例：
Eg. Most speakers are skillful in fencing with reporter's questions with cut-and-dried words.
大多數(shù)發(fā)言人擅用“套話(huà)”來(lái)搪塞記者提問(wèn)。
Eg. They were sick of Allan's cut-and-dried answers.
