全网最酷美语怎么说:第14期 我要崩溃了(在线收听

   Nick:Hi everybody, this is Nick. Welcome to teaching series "how do you say this in American English."

  Nick:大家好,我是Nick.
  Brad:大家好,我是Brad
  Nick:今天我们要讲的是,"我要崩溃了"。同样的中文我们也常说,比如说你遇到一件非常打击你的事情。非常令你不开心的事。就是说,"哎呀,我真的要崩溃了,好无语,我要崩溃了,我要受不了了"。这个时候,"我要崩溃了"要怎么说?英语中有几个对应的表达,我可以教大家两个。比如说,一个是,"mental breakdown."另一个是"devastated."上节课我跟大家讲过考试的问题。考砸了嘛。最后考试没考好,考砸了。然后我就非常崩溃,因为它是一个特别大的一个比例,在我的最终成绩里面,所以非常崩溃。So, remember what talked about last lesson, about the "bomb exam" thing?
  Brad:Yeah.
  Nick:So, the time when I got my paper back. I saw that score. I was like, I felt so devastated.
  Brad:We've all been there. The quiz I talked about in two lessons ago-I actually brought it up in the last two lessons.
  Nick:Yeah, that's a good example for everything.
  Brad: Yeah, oh my gosh. Well anyways, I talked this quiz was on Tuesday-the quiz was on Thursday that was on Tuesday. I just completely messed up the dates, bombed the quiz and when I finally got my score back, of ten out of thirty. I just had acomplete mental breakdown.I just wanted to sit in my room. I didn’t wanna do college anymore. I was just done with everything. Mental breakdown are good words.
  Nick:yeah it's like a lot severe than "upset" or "sad". You know, mental breakdown. It's a lot worse. Brad刚刚说了,因为我们前两节课讲的关于考试的这个东西,这个例子非常好用。我们继续用这个exmaple。他考试拿了分数以后,和我一样,感到非常崩溃,然后他"He was experiencing the mental breakdown."就是他正在经历着歌mental,就是精神上的崩溃。他到处去吃东西,吃很多,甚至不想上学。当然了这是夸张,一次quiz肯定不可能导致这样。就是非常伤心。如果你以后要用到这个情景,你比upset,sad更加夸张很多倍的时候,一半就用devastated 或者是mental breakdown.这是今天主要内容,I’ll see you next time.
  Brad: Bye everyone.
  Nick: Bye.
