每天三分钟学英语 第544期:英文翻白眼怎么说?白眼不是white eye哟~

服务员解释自己没有粗鲁无礼，看看我们是怎么“反击”的：

客人A: It's your attitude. You're speaking to me in an impatient tone and I saw you roll your eyes at me. Is that not rude?

是你的态度。是你用不耐烦的语气对我说话，我还看见你对我翻白眼了。这还不粗鲁吗？

服务员B: I wasn't aware that I sounded like that.

我没意识到听起来是那样的。

第二轮：指出对方的态度问题

虽然对方没有说难听的话，但是态度不好，也让人很不舒服。

It's your attitude

是你的态度

如何在口语中应用：

① It's your attitude. That's why no one wants to work with you. You're too negative.

是你的态度。那就是为什么没人愿意和一起工作。你太负面了。

② It's your attitude I don't like. Quit complaining and get back to work.

我不喜欢的是你的态度。别再抱怨了，回去工作吧。

说到对方态度不好，我们还可以具体指出，到底有哪些无礼之处：

Speak to someone in an impatient tone

用不耐烦的语气和别人说话

口语中的举例：

① Don't speak to me in an impatient tone. You're not my boss.

别用不耐烦的语气和我说话。你不是我老板。

② The waiter spoke¹ to her in an impatient tone. He was rushing her to order.

那个服务员用很不耐烦的语气和她说话。他在催她点菜。

还有一个非常明显不礼貌的举动：

Roll one's eyes at…

对某人翻白眼

口语中的举例：

① I saw that. Don't roll your eyes at me.

我看见了。别对我翻白眼。

② She rolls her eyes at everyone when she hears something she doesn't like.

当她听到什么她不喜欢的事情时，她就会对所有人翻白眼。
