[摘要]近日,一名自称是“幼师孕妇”的女子在武汉街头下跪乞讨,为了证明自己有文化,摆在现场的乞讨词竟然是中英文?说到乞讨大家可能想到的只有“beg”,今天告诉大家一个新的单词“panhandling”. 【语言点插播】 说到乞讨,大家可能想到的只有“beg”这个词,英语(精品课)君今天告诉大家一个新的单词“panhandling”,这个词作为名词,意思为“平底锅柄”,而作为动词,意思则是“向...乞讨,行乞”,例如:These regulations include establishing "prohibited areas", prohibiting "aggressive panhandling'and public space occupying and so on. 管制措施包括设置"禁讨区"、禁止"侵犯性乞讨"以及禁止占用城市的公共场所等。 现如今,当多少人还在为英语抓耳挠腮,愁眉不展的时候,人家乞丐行乞都双语,而且这么有文化,乞丐都与国际接轨了。 【语言点插播】 文中的“抓耳挠腮”用英语可以表达为“scratching one's head”,例如:他急得抓耳挠腮也想不出办法来。 He was very anxious and scratched his head but failed to think of a way out.) 当然,一些人看了会一笑了之,甚至有的还小声说是骗人的。事件被曝光后,引起了媒体的广泛关注,网友表示:单单拿一个中英文就搞死一批人啊! 【语言点插播】 文中的“一笑了之”用英语可以表达为“laugh away”,而且多指通过笑或者假装被逗了来处理问题。例如:Laughter really is the best medicine, and if you can laugh away the stress, your outlook for the rest of the day will be a lot more rosy. 笑是最好的药,如果你能笑对压力,那么你这一天剩下的时间就会过得很美好了。) 小时候父母总是教导我们,如果不好好读书,将来就要当乞丐。但在,当今的社会发展如此迅速,也许不好好读书连乞丐都当不了。图片中的小学生面色凝重,顿时压力山大,有木有,有木有…… 下面便是“幼师孕妇”中英文版本的乞讨词,字迹也算工整。可是:I is a *&%……¥#teachers。Laid-off husband C%¥# after company Work.

But the same woman was spotted being driven away from a San Diego shopping mall where she was begging in a $35,000 Mercedes-Benz.一张令人心寒的照片:照片中一位怀孕的妇女和一个孩子用一个“请求帮助”的牌子乞讨。但是同一个女人被发现驾驶一辆35000美元的奔驰驶离她行乞的圣地亚哥购物商场。 你信了,说明世界上还是好人多;你不信,说明好人也不笨。 |
