迷你对话学地道口语第714期:令人生厌的废话(在线收听

 Subject:All he does is go blah-blah-blah.

迷你对话A: All he does is go blah-blah-blah.
他就会说个不停。
B: Forget it. He is always like this.
算了,他一直都是这样。
地道表达 blah-blah-blah1. 解词释义Blah是指“冠冕堂皇的废话”“乏味的废话”。例如:There he goes, blah blah blah, talking nonsense as usual. (他又来这一套了, 夸夸其谈, 像往常一样谈来谈去都是废话。)That's just a lot of blah. (那纯粹都是胡扯。)Blah-blah-blah连在一起时,表示“觉得厌烦,厌倦别人的话”“令人厌烦的而不想听的别人的话”。Go blah-blah-blah中的go是俚语,意思是“说”,那么整个短语的意思就是“说废话,说令人厌烦而不想听的话”。
2. 拓展例句e.g. A friend of mine called and told me that she was having a problem with her computer and went blah-blah-blah.
一个朋友打电话来跟我说她的电脑有问题,说个没完没了。
e.g. She’s going blah-blah on the phone.
她一直在电话里喋喋不休地说个没完。
Ps 1: All he does is go blah-blah-blah. 这个句子中的谓语是“系动词+动词原形”。其实,这里是省略了动词不定式的标识“to”,本该是“is to go blah-blah-blah”,但是如果主语中有do这个实意动词,谓语可省略to。例如:All I have to do is (to) learn english.
Ps 2:表示“不想去追究某事了”,可以说:“Forget it. ”意思是“忘掉这件事情吧,不要去想了。”也就是中文中“算了。”的意思。
