Easy to use adjectives

There are many "weird" adjectives in English. These words will be very authentic whether used in daily conversation or translation. At the same time, when using or choosing adjectives, never take them for granted. Moreover, the use of adjectives authentically and wonderfully will also add a lot of color to your language and articles.

1. That cut looks very gross/nasty.

The most accurate translation of "disgusting" or "nausea" in English is gross or nasty. Everything you see, eat, smell or even hear makes you feel disgusted. People have a disgusting feeling, which we can all describe as gross and nasty. For example, if someone has a large cut on his foot, it is also infected by bacteria and causes the wound to fester. (Isn't that disgusting?) At this time, we can say, "That's so gross." "Your cut looks really nasty." For example, if someone goes to get something to eat after going to the toilet without washing his hands, you can say to him rudely on the spot, "You are so gross." or "You are so nasty." )

The other one has exactly the same meaning as gross/nasty, but the one with a stronger tone is disgusting. You must remember this adjective, because it can be used to deal with those who are particularly disgusting or disgusting. thing. For example, we once had an international student who didn’t like washing dishes, but the food residue left on the dishes would rot. What should we do? This old man came up with a clever idea. He put all the plates used in the meal in the refrigerator. When the next meal comes, he takes out the plates and heats them in the microwave before they can be used again. It is said that this way Let him wash the dishes only once a week. When he showed off his original lazy man's secret technique to me, all I could think about was, "You are so disgusting!" (It's really disgusting!)

2. He is lame. He's boring.

Lame is probably the most commonly used adjective to describe "boring" in the United States. For example, in Chinese we say that this joke is "cold", in English it is translated as, "The joke is so lame." But if you want to try to explain to Americans why we say, "The joke is so cold." No need to, because I’m afraid the Americans will already feel “cold” before you finish explaining! Lame can not only be used to describe jokes, but also to describe people. For example, "He is so lame." means "He is no fun."

A usage related to the word lame is lame duck. Everyone must know that when translated into Chinese as "lame duck", it means those who are weak and do nothing, especially politicians. For example, Americans sometimes say, "Mr. Clinton is a lame duck President." This means that he has done nothing. The original meaning of Lame duck is a duck that always falls behind in a group of ducks. These old, weak and useless ducks can easily become prey for other animals. Lame duck is commonly used, mainly because in the 19th century, midterm elections for the U.S. Congress were held in November, but those who lost the election had to wait until March of the following year to be kicked out of Congress, so here During this period, they began to mess around, trying to pass some bills that were beneficial to themselves. In order to stop this irresponsible behavior, in 1934, the U.S. Congress passed the so-called "Lame Duck Amendment" to correct this absurd behavior.

3. Your jeans are so filthy.

Filthy and dirty both mean dirty.

For example, when my roommate first bought the X-Box, he was very protective of it. He warned us every time, "Don't touch my X-Box with your filthy hands." ) In addition to filthy and dirty, the words sticky and greasy are also commonly used to describe dirty, but sticky specifically refers to "sticky", while greasy refers to "greasy". For example, every time I have just finished eating and want to play with my roommate's X-Box, I will wash my hands first and then tell him, "I'll never touch your X-Box with my sticky/greasy hands." (I I will never touch your X-Box with my dirty hands.) Otherwise, this guy will fall out with you.

In addition, dirty can also be interpreted as "dirty" in addition to being essentially dirty, and another adjective "nasty" has the same meaning. For example, "Stop talking dirty to me." (Don't say dirty things to me.) or "You have such a nasty mind." (Your thoughts are really nasty.) There is also an adjective that is also very dirty and nasty. You might as well learn it. This word is called kinky. I remember the first time I heard this word on TV and asked the old Americans what it meant. Everyone laughed and didn’t answer, and even pushed each other around. This made me It felt very strange, but it piqued my curiosity even more. Later I learned that kinky refers to a person who has some special sexual fetishes, even to the point of being a little perverted. No wonder no one was willing to explain to me what kinky is! I still remember the dialogue I heard at that time, "I love you when you talk kinky." Poor, pathetic and helpless homeless. The police have no sympathy for the poor, pathetic and helpless homeless.

Pathetic and poor are two words that describe a person who is very miserable, specifically referring to some things that are beyond one's control and that one is unable to control. For example, "We poor, pathetic consumers don't know how bad it is until it gets worse." (We poor consumers must wait until things get out of hand before we know how bad the original situation is.) In addition The pity in the example sentence means sympathy when used as a verb, but pity is often used as a noun. For example, Americans often say, "What a pity!" or "It's a pity that..." which means pity. For example, "What a pity! We have missed the basketball game!" (What a pity, we missed the basketball game.)

How to translate "miserable" which has a similar meaning to "sad" ? "Misery" Americans will use miserable. For example, the apartment I live in has no hot water, which is really miserable. We can translate this sentence into, "It's miserable to live in an apartment without hot water." After taking six courses, you will often hear me complain, "My life is miserable."

5. That is insane!

That’s so unreasonable!

The original meaning of Insane is to describe a person who has lost their sanity. For example, "You are insane." In fact, it means "You have lost your mind." (You are crazy). But the word insane is often used to describe something that is very irrational, even to the point of being a bit absurd. For example, if you still can't find a parking space after spending half an hour today, you can say, "That's insane!" There are absurd, ridiculous, and crazy. You might as well use these words interchangeably. For example, if you can't find a parking space, you can also say, "That's ridiculous/ absurd/crazy."

6. Paying 100 bucks for a book is crazy. Paying 100 bucks for a book is crazy. This book is absolutely insane.

Crazy can be used to describe a person who is crazy or unreasonable. For example, after a daughter-in-law quarreled with her mother-in-law, she complained to her husband, "Your mom is crazy." Similarly, Crazy is often used to describe something that is unreasonable and beyond the imagination of ordinary people. For example, when I knew that a textbook cost one hundred dollars, my first reaction was, "That's crazy." So basically the usage of the two words crazy and insane are very close, and they both refer to something. Something is very unnatural.

But crazy can also imply that something is so incredible that it makes people excited and their blood pumping. For example, in a baseball game, we hit three home runs in a row in the last inning, scoring eight runs and successfully reversing the situation. I think there is no more appropriate way to describe this situation than "That's crazy." So the word crazy here is definitely a compliment rather than a derogation. Here I will give you another example. Every time my roommate and I play the game Pro Skater III, both of us will definitely get hand cramps just to eat a 100,000-point Combo (continuous advanced combination of skateboarding). Action.) We often say in unison, "This game is crazy." What do we mean? I'm not saying this game is ridiculous, just that it's incredible. so what? When we hear an old American say "This is crazy.", if we don't hear the context, we have to observe the expression on his face to know whether what he said is "ridiculous" or "unbelievable" .

7. It's very creepy to walk alone after 9pm. It's very creepy to walk alone on the street after 9pm.

Creepy and scary are both adjectives used to describe a "scary" feeling. But there is actually a small difference between the two. Creepy refers to the feeling of "creepy in the heart", while scary means really scary, so to a certain extent, scary is scarier than creepy. For example, if it's like watching a horror movie, maybe you can say "It's creepy." It's scary, not just creepy!

8. The house is spooky. This house is spooky.

Spooky has the same meaning of "scary" as creepy and scary, but spooky or spooked (when people are used as the subject) usually refer to the fear of ghosts or ghosts. For example, if you were left alone in a big house and it made you feel creepy, you could say, "I was spooked when I was left in a big house."

You can't help mentioning this by the way. Let’s talk about the English word “haunted house”, it’s not ghost house! A more correct way of saying it is haunted house. The word haunted itself means occupied by unclean things (haunted), so haunted house has the meaning of haunted house. It is common to see the words spooky and haunted used together because they are both words related to "ghost". For example, "It's a spooky experience to visit the haunted house."

9. I am not going to hang out with him anymore because he is sleazy. His character was not good, so I never went out with him again.

Sleazy refers to a person with poor character, poor behavior, and a careless appearance. Sleazy is an adjective often used to criticize a person. For example, "You'd better break up with your sleazy boyfriend before you get hurt."

Similar to sleazy, And the word slimy is often used together with sleazy to criticize others. Slime originally refers to the mucus on fish, and its adjective slimy is used to describe a person who is cunning and cunning, and also refers to bad conduct. For example, "He is very successful in his business simply because he is slimy." However, slimy is less commonly used in the United States, and sleazy is generally more common. In addition to the two adjectives sleazy and slimy, the two nouns derived from them, sleazeball and slimeball, are also commonly used as curse words. In Chinese, just translate it into "bastard thing". For example "Listen up you sleazeball/ slimeball. Get out of my house now." (Listen up you sleazeball/ slimeball. Get out of my house now.)

10. It's so weird that he didn't show up. He didn't show up, so weird.

The word "Weird" was the first time I heard it after I came to the United States, but soon I started to like using the word "weird" just like Americans. Weird actually means "weird".

For example, if a football game is originally broadcast at eight o'clock, but I can't find which station it is on, I will say, "That's so weird." ! I put something in the drawer yesterday, but I can't find it today. I still say, "It's so weird that I cannot find my stuff."

Although the word "strange" also has the same meaning as "weird" ", but I don't know why Americans rarely use the word "strange" and prefer the word "weird"! Hmm... "It's so weird!" But since both Americans and Americans use weird, we should follow suit.
