from 每天5分钟,轻松学口语

“老顾客”千万不要说成old customerold = 上年纪的这个词很刺眼等于说一个人年纪大了客户不跟你翻脸才怪!01“老顾客”英文怎么说?"老顾客"的"老"指经常光顾某个商店英语中应该说:regular [ˈreɡjələr] 经常的,频繁的regular customer老顾客;常客也可以直接说成:regular例:Since I am a regular customer, they always give me a good discount.由于我是老顾客,他们总是让我打个大折扣。经常来看我们文章的粉丝就是regular reader老读者;固定读者英语中有些跟old搭配的短语比较容易误解和Lydia一起来学习~02“old man”不是“老男人”old是"老的",man是“男人”但old man可别翻译成“老男人”这个短语的意思是:老爸、老头或者老公例:My old man is going to retire this year.我家老头儿今年就要退休了。03“老员工”不是“old staff”我们说“老员工”想表达的是资历深,工作时间久即使真的是年龄很大,也不能用old谁会承认自己老呢所以更常用的说法是senior staff或者 experienced staff 对于上年纪的人,我们可以直接称呼Mr或 Mrs.例:William is asking senior staff to bring juniors to client meetings.威廉要求老员工带上新员工参加客户会议。04“old hat”不是“老帽”old hat的意思是“老旧的,过时的”例:Most of these are simply old hat to me.对我来说,这些大多数都过时了。05“old school”不是“老学校”old school的意思:老派、守旧;也能表示怀旧的例:I know you're old school, but all the kids today grew up with phones. 我知道你很保守,但现在的孩子们都是和手机一起长大的。06“old money”不是“旧钱”我们说的有钱人有两种一种是富二代,靠家族继承一种是富一代自己白手起家在英文里就是用old和new区分old money指的就是生而富贵,继承财产new money就是相对的靠自身努力的例:The West End is full of hedge funds, oil barons and old money.伦敦西区到处是对冲基金、石油大亨和大富豪们。
