from 每天5分钟,轻松学口语
内有王思聪外有贝克汉姆众儿女“富二代”在国内外都是一种现象英语怎么说今天和Lydia 一起学一学吧01“富二代”的英文表达①rich second generation这种说法比较书面正式也相对比较直译同时衍生出另一个词组poor second generation 贫二代例:The "rich second generation" has triggered a heated debate in the media.“富二代”在媒体间引发了热议。图片②born with a silver spoon(in one's mouth)“这是一个非常经典的谚语,一个人出生时嘴里含着银勺子,意思就是说这个人出生于富贵人家。大家有没有奇怪,为何是银勺子不是金勺子呢?其实,这个谚语中,silver spoon使用了一种英语中常用的修辞手法“押头韵”。silver spoon两个单词的开头字母都是's',就胜过gold spoon。例:She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and has never done a day's hard work in her life. 她是个富二代,一生中从未做过一天的苦活。图片③from a wealthy familywealthy 的含义是“富有的,富裕的”someone is from a wealthy family 就表示某人来自富裕家庭,是个富二代例:I realised that you were from a wealthy family but definitely not a wilful girl. 我意识到你虽是富二代,但并不是一个任性的女孩。图片④born in the purplepurple[ˈpɜːpl]紫色紫色在古代是皇家专用的颜色所以born in the purple意为出身高贵后沿用表示富二代,有钱人例:He was born in the purple. 他出身高贵。 出身富裕家庭有的喜欢炫富,有的却很低调02“炫富”英文怎么说?在英语中,常用flaunt wealth来表示“炫富”flaunt的意思是“炫耀,夸耀,卖弄”例:Though he is from a rich family, he never flaunts wealth.尽管他的家境富裕,但他从不炫富。03“低调”英文怎么说?“保持低调”英语可以说:keep a low profile 或 maintain a low profilelow profile 意思是“低调,低姿态”例:You need to keep a low profile right now. 现在你需要的是尽量保持低调。“低调”还可以用“low-key”来表达例:Their wedding will be a very low-key affair. 他们的婚礼将低调举行。与之相反“高调”可以用“high-key”来表达例:It’s really high-key. I just wanna be myself.那样太高调了,我只想做自己。
