别人说Play chicken真的不是让你去玩鸡肉!

from 早餐英语|实用英文口语

说起chicken,你会不会马上想起好吃的鸡肉?不管是蒸的,煮的,炸的,炒的,不管怎样都好吃的鸡肉?但是chicken在口语中的含义,真是多到你难以想象!1. Play chicken这个短语的意思是“比试胆量,互相挑战和威胁(以吓住对手为目标的危险游戏)”When I was a girl, my friends and I used to play chicken小时候我经常和小伙伴相互挑战 2. Chicken:胆小鬼为什么play chicken有这个意思呢?因为chicken在口语中有胆小鬼的意思,或是“怂”的意思。假如你想找点刺激,你的朋友怕的不行,就可以用这句话来说她/他。Stop being a chicken and try the rollercoaster ride! Chicken除了做名词,说一个说是胆小鬼外,还有作动词来用。 3. Chicken out:临阵脱逃这个短语一般用这个来形容形容因为害怕、胆怯而临阵退缩的行为的,你还可以用“Get cold feet”.Unfortunately, many people chicken out at the last moment.不幸的是,很多人都是最后一刻临阵退缩。  4. Chicken and egg先有鸡还是先有蛋中国的有句俗语“先有鸡还是先有蛋”,在英语中的表达习惯和中文也十分相似,就是Chicken and egg。 比如大学生们一毕业就要面临找工作,但是很多公司和用人单位都倾向于有经验的人。这种情况,用这个短语就再合适不过了。You need experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience. It's a chicken and egg situation.你需要经验才能找到工作,但你需要工作才能获得经验。这真是一种“先有鸡还是先有蛋”的情况啊。
