(单词翻译:单击)

今天,我们来回顾一下Kenny告知让Jennifer感到可怕的事情:I just hear that Jane and Mike broke up because Mike was having an affair for the past year! She busted him when she walk into their bedroom and found him with some tramp.

Kenny说到的tramp是什么意思呢? It refers to a sexually immoral woman. Tramp 的意思是“婊子,荡妇”。我们来看两个例句熟悉它的意思:

例句1:Don't let your husband get near that woman. Everyone in the neighborhood knows she's nothing but a tramp!不要让你的丈夫接近那个女人,附近所有的人都知道他什么也不是就是个婊子。)

解析1:get near...的意思是“靠近......接近......”。例如:The pop-star was spirited away at the end of the concert before her fans could get near her.(音乐会一结束,那位流行乐曲歌手没等歌迷接近她就没影儿了。)

You don't get near him. He is mad now. (你们不要接近他,他正在大发雷霆。)

解析2:nothing but的意思是“只不过”。例如:His speech was nothing but milk and water.(他的讲话平淡无奇毫无意义。)A few years back you could see nothing but barren land there.(数年前人们在那儿所能看到的只是荒野。)

解析3:in the neighborhood的意思是“在附近”。例如:The timid girl didn't want to meet the new children in the neighborhood.(那个羞怯的女孩子不想见街坊里新来的孩子。)You'll find it somewhere in the neighborhood of the park. (你会在公园附近找到它。)

例句2:Connie sleeps with a different guy every night! What a tramp!(Connie每天晚上和不同的男人睡觉!她真是个荡妇!)

今天,我们学习的词汇TRAMP,作为俚语,可以表示“荡妇,婊子”的意思,相当于“bitch”。
