被点名时,中文喊“到”,英文喊什么?

from 每天5分钟,轻松学口语

生活,有时候是一门玄学。你越是不想发生的事情,它越会在现实中发生。尤其是上大学时,一认真去上课就不用签到,一逃课老师就点名。那你知道“点名”的英语是什么吗?很多人学英语思维偏向中式,会把“点名”直译成call names。乍一看似乎没错,但老外听到怕是要气炸了!call (sb) names实际上是“谩骂,辱骂”的意思,与“点名”大相径庭。例:At my last school they called me names because I was so slow.在我上一所学校,他们骂我,因为我动作太慢了。注意,这里要用names,是固定用法。如果变成“call sb's name”,意思是“叫某人的名字”。“点名”的正确表达是 take/call the roll roll /rəʊl/ ,指的是“名单;花名册;登记表”。剑桥词典中 take/call the roll的英文释义为:If you take/call the roll,you read aloud the names of all the people on the list to make certain that they are present.也就是:大声念出名单上所有人的名字,以确定他们在场。从一些词组的英文释义,我们能够非常确切地知道它的意思和使用语境。比如从take/call the roll这个英文释义中,我们至少可以学到2点:1)“点名”除了take/call the roll,也还可以直接说read aloud the names of the list。2)“点名”的目的是为了看学生是否present(出现的,出席的)。换句话说,在“点名”场景下,如果被叫到名字,英文就可以回答“present”,完整形式是:“I'm present.”不过,“present”相对会显得正式和古板。课堂上老师点名时,更流行的回答是:1)Here最常见的回答,相当于I'm here的省略。2)Yes /yeah / yep后两者比yes会更随意,轻松,偏美式。3) Adsum /'ædsʌm/ 相当于I'm here.如果你经常看美剧,还会注意到军人或者海员等,在回答上级命令或者被上级点名时,会回复一句“Aye aye,sir!”aye/aɪ/ 其实是yes的另一种说法,属于古英语。据说是因为在海面上相对比较嘈杂的环境中,海员回答yes容易听不清,而aye发饱满的双元音,会更洪亮些。大概相当于我们国内军队中,用“洞”替代了“0”,用“拐”替代“7”,算是一种特殊场景下的用法。最后再看看一个国外网友的分享:In suburban LA, the standard response was "huh?" 【译】在洛杉矶郊区,人们的标准反应是“哈?”哈哈哈哈……这才是人间真实啊!睡意朦胧中突然被点到名字,可不就一脸闷逼来一句“哈?”么~
