全网最酷美语怎么说:第27期 累成狗

 　　Nick: Hi everybody, this is Nick. Welcome to teaching¹ series "how do you say this in American English.".大家好，我是Nick.

　　Brad:大家好，我是Brad

　　Nick: 今天我们要讲一个非常接地气的网络表达，叫做累成狗。意思就是说，非常非常累，累到极端。这里的"累"当然可以用其他形容词代替，比如"冷成狗"，"热成狗"等等，当然了，和狗本身没有任何关系

　　Nick: Hey what's up Brad.

　　Brad: Not much. How is it going, Nick?

　　Nick: good good. It's just… I'm tired as fuck.

　　Brad: How? What did you do?

　　Nick: ah… I hit the gym yesterday. You know I haven't been working out for a freaking long time, like a month or so. After that, I was like tired as fuck. I was beat.

　　Brad: Happens to me too! I work out a lot and it's nice outside so I'm woke as fuck! Whenever I'm tired as fuck I just drink a lot of coffee, you know, caffeine? I pretty much live off coffee during the week

　　Nick: Yeah I feel you. I've been there before. But coffee is not my cup of tea, not my thing though.

　　Brad: Coffee isn't your cup of tea?

　　Nick: No it's not.

　　Brad: When you are using "as fuck" you do need to be careful when and where you use it. Not only is it informal but it's very inappropriate. With me it's totally fine since we're close friends and we've been in class together and pretty much the same age but I don't recommend using it in front of anyone older. Also in my eyes, it could be just mean, I'm sure a lot of people are gonna share this thing (or some) thoughts. But it's not really appropriate to curse² in front of a woman-you are using "fuck", which is a very bad curse word. Even now we are in a pretty closed room but I'm always to check over my shoulder when I'm saying "fuck" because of this. So you don't really wanna say "fuck"

　　Nick: It's a swear word.

　　Brad: Yeah it's a swear word. I won't be saying fuck in Chinese like all the time. People will be like I'm weird³

　　Nick: Apparently⁴ that's pretty informal.刚刚brad提醒我们，用这个短语的时候，千万不要在正式场合用，因为这个短语很不正式。其实很好理解，你总不可能在正式场合说，你累成狗吧。对吧，那会闹笑话的。而且在英语中"fuck"也是一个非常粗俗的一个词。所以大家尽量在熟人之间使用，不要再女孩子或者是正式场合用，不太恰当。So this is pretty much it for this time. I'll see you guys next time, bye.

　　Brad: 再见
