老外说"You're so salty"是什么意思?
- We had dinner, then we had drinks... Finished the evening with a long walk by the beach...
- Mhm
- She’s pretty cool. Did you know she’s a designer?
- Okay man, how long do I have to listen to you being all lovey-dovey?
- Oh come on, you’re just salty your girlfriend broke up with you. Let other people enjoy their lives.
………………………………………………..
If someone is being salty, they are jealous, angry or irritated.
salty不一点是“咸的”
salty在形容食物时表示“咸的”,形容人时,则表示生气或者心情不好,在年轻群体中较常用。
You're so salty!这是一句美国俚语,美国年轻人很喜欢把它挂在嘴里,在这里salty有两个解释:
① 形容某人生气或是很抓狂的样子。
What the hell is wrong with you? You are so salty today!你今天吃错药了?火气这么大。
② 形容一个人讲话很酸,类似于“毒舌”。
Why are you saying like that? You are so salty
你为什么那样说话啊?嘴巴也太毒了吧。
再来说一下salty发音的问题。牛津词典中:英音/ˈsɒlti/,美英/ˈsɔːlti/。如果只看音标,我们会认为字母a的发音,在美英中比英音中的开口更小一点(这不符合一般的规律啊?!一般情况是美英比英音的开口更大一点更松一点)我们再来看看朗文词典中的音标/ˈsɒːlti/,这个符号/ɒː/是朗文标音体系里面所特有的。现在明白了,在美英中确实是开口更大更松一点。
另外,在朗读发音的时候,salty中的l可不要漏掉了哦。如何发好这个舌侧音l,后面有机会我们再详细说吧
