你好,欢迎收听《像母语一样说英语》(The English Like a Native Podcast)这个播客节目。
My name is Anna and you're listening to Week 30, Day 1 of Your English Five a Day.
我的名字是安娜,你现在正在收听《Your English Five a Day》节目的第30周、第1天的内容。
This is a series that has been going now for 30 weeks.
这是一个已经持续了30周的系列节目。
I cannot believe it!
我简直不敢相信!
This is a series that aims to increase your vocabulary by focusing on just five items every day of the working week from Monday to Friday.
这是一个旨在帮助你扩大词汇量的学习计划:在工作日的每周一至周五,每天只需专注于学习五个新的词汇。
So let's kick off this week and today's list with the adjective hilarious.
那么,让我们从本周和今天的词汇列表开始吧,第一个单词是形容词“hilarious”(极其有趣的)。
Hilarious.
太搞笑了!
We spell this H I L A R I O U S.
我们把这个单词拼写为“HILARIOUS”。
Hilarious.
太搞笑了!
Hilarious.
太搞笑了!
If someone or something is hilarious, then it is extremely funny.
如果某人或某件事非常搞笑(即极其有趣),那么它确实是非常好笑的。
Very, very amusing.
非常非常有趣。
For example, you might say, "The comedian's jokes were so hilarious that the entire audience were laughing uncontrollably."
例如,你可以这样说:“那位喜剧演员的笑话非常搞笑,以至于整个观众都笑得停不下来。
I think my children are sometimes hilarious.
我觉得我的孩子们有时候真的很搞笑。
They do and say things that tickle me pink.
他们说的和做的事情总是让我开心不已(即让我感到非常愉悦)。
They make me laugh so much.
他们真的让我笑得很开心。
It's good to be hilarious.
能够让人发笑,确实是一件很棒的事情。
Sometimes though, as we do enjoy a bit of sarcasm, sometimes you'll hear someone use the adjective hilarious to describe someone who
不过,有时候当我们确实喜欢一些讽刺性的表达时,你会听到有人用“hilarious”(极其搞笑的)这个词来形容某个人……
says something they don't really like.
说了些他们其实并不喜欢的话。
So they're being sarcastic, saying that's not very funny at all, going, "Oh, that's hilarious.
所以他们在讽刺别人,说那一点都不好笑,还说着:“哦,那太搞笑了。
Oh, very funny."
哦,真是太好笑了。
So you have to read the tone and the situation to know if the word is being used in its genuine form.
因此,你必须通过分析说话的语气和所处的情境,才能判断这个词是否被用在了其本来的意义上(即是否被正确地使用了)。
Does it genuinely mean hilarious?
这个词真的意味着“非常搞笑”吗?
Or whether it's being used in a sarcastic way.
或者,它被用于一种讽刺的语境中。
But more often than not, it is used in the positive.
但大多数情况下,它的使用方式是积极的(即带有正面含义的)。
So here is the next item on the list.
那么,这是列表中的下一项内容。
