最近流行什么短语篇二
《时下最流行的英语俚语、短语 第五季》

More Chinese are preferring to late marriage, with an increasing number tying the knot after reaching 25, according to statistics issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Wednesday.

The number of Chinese getting married between 20 and 24 years old made up the largest proportion, accounting for 35.5 percent of last year's total marriage registrations. The figure has decreased by about 1.1 percentage points annually. Meanwhile, the 25-29 age bracket saw an increasing number of marriage registrations last year, up by 0.8 percentage points from the previous year to 34.2 percent. The legal age for marriage in China is 22 for males and 20 for females.

文中的late marriage就是“晚婚”的意思，也可以说成是marry at a late age。类似的表达法还有late arrival 迟到、晚点；late spring 晚春；late work 晚期作品；the late 19th century 十九世纪末；late payment 逾期付款；late hour 深更半夜。

此外，文中还有一些表达法值得一学。第一段的tie the knot为习惯用法，意思是“结婚”、“喜结良缘”；the Ministry of Civil Affairs 民政部；还有第二段的marriage registration意思是“结婚登记”。

More than 60 million students and teachers at China's 80,000 middle schools experienced a space lesson by China's first teacher in space from more than 300 kilometers above Earth's surface on Thursday.

Female astronaut Wang Yaping carried out fundamental physics experiments onboard the orbiting Tiangong-1 space module. She interacted with more than 330 students who gathered at a classroom of the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China in Beijing.

文中的space lesson就是“太空授课”的意思了。lesson就是“一节课”的意思，与之搭配的常见动词词组有：attend a lesson 去上课；conduct a lesson 授一堂课（=give a lesson）；have a lesson 有课（要上）；prepare a lesson 备课；receive a lesson 上（某人的）课；skip a lesson 逃课。lesson还有“教训”、“经验”的意思，如absorb lessons 吸取经验（=draw lessons）；give somebody a lesson 给某人一个教训等。

Tourists at a beach in Sanya City were accused of contributing to the death of a stranded dolphin by mistreating it, lifting it out of the water and posing with it in photographs that were posted to the Internet.

Online pictures do not show anyone trying to stop the abuse.

Angry netizens condemned them for using a dolphin as a photography prop. Some netizens said it shows Chinese tourists' uncivilized habits.

文中“stranded”是搁浅的意思，引申为“处于困境的”，如the stranded passengers 滞留的旅客。

文中netizen译为“网民”，是net（网）和citizen（市民）组合而成的新兴词汇，类似的表达有sitcom 情景喜剧 （situation 情景 + comedy 喜剧） ，brunch 早中饭（breakfast 早饭+ lunch 午饭） 和medicare 医疗保健（medical 医疗 + care 保健）等 。

Factories in Nanchang county in Jiangxi were the main source of "the toxic preserved eggs incident" and 30 companies have been closed by authorities since the discovery. Other factories are still undergoing investigation.

Preserved eggs generally take about two months to create, using baking soda, salt, and quicklime.

The plants were guilty of adding industrial copper sulphate to the eggs to speed up the production schedule, halving the time to a month.

文中"preserved egg"即是皮蛋的意思，也可以表达为"preserved duck egg", 或者"thousand-year egg"。

其中preserved可译为“腌制的”，如preserved food （腌制食品），类似的表达还有smoked （烟熏的），salted （盐腌的），canned （罐装的）等。 文中的“copper sulphate”译为硫酸铜，这些企业采用的是工业级别的原料，根本无法用于食品生产。 By this month, 180 dining spots in Shanghai's central Jing'an District had signed up for the "White-Collar Lunch" project, according to the Jing'an District Commercial Commission.

It aims to provide affordable meals, priced at around 20 to 30 yuan on average, for the district's 200,000 white-collar workers and create business opportunities for restaurants facing a tough operating environment.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, during the first quarter of this year the high-end dining industry in Shanghai saw a 20 percent fall in revenue, while Beijing's has witnessed a 35 percent drop.

“white-collar lunch”解释为白领午餐，旨在为白领提供平价的午餐。

“sign up for”解释为报名参加，又如：sign up for training 报名参加培训、sign sb. up for 给某人报名。

“affordable”是形容词，解释为支付得起的、不太昂贵的。例如：affordable fees 平价收费、affordable products 价格实惠的产品。

A widely circulated series of photos of aspiring beauty queens reveals once again just how obsessed Korean women are with plastic surgery.

All of the contestants have dark, long hair; fair, pale skin; big eyes and a perfect, bright white smile. Their faces are oval with sharp, pointed chins that seem to have undergone a certain procedure called "V-line surgery".

The photos may be the result of Photoshop, but they still show that the contemporary concept of female beauty in South Korea is highly monotonous and conforms to a single ideal.

“plastic surgery”解释为整容，也可以说成是cosmetic surgery。“plastic”原意为塑料的、塑形的，但在医学领域解释为整形的；“surgery”解释为（外科）手术，例如：undergo surgery 进行手术、heart surgery 心脏手术。

另外，最后一段中“monotonous”解释为单调的、无变化的，例如：monotonous work 单调的工作、monotonous standard 千篇一律的标准。

Shenzhou X spacecraft carrying three Chinese astronauts is reported to have docked with the Tiangong-1 space laboratory.

The team plans to spend just under two weeks at the space laboratory, in the country's longest manned space mission.

While there, astronaut Wang Yaping, China's second woman in space, will beam a

lesson from the laboratory to students back on Earth.

文中的space laboratory就是“空间实验室”的意思。laboratory（经常简写作lab）就是“实验室”、“实验楼”。我们常见的类似用法还有如：biology laboratory 生物实验室；chemistry laboratory 化学实验室；physics laboratory 物理实验室和language laboratory 语音实验室（语音室）等。

另外，文中的dock with就是“对接”的意思，也可以写作be joined together (in space)。

A 15-minute walk after each meal could prevent older people developing type-2 diabetes, a study has found.

The post-meal walks control blood sugar as well as one long walk, research by George Washington University suggested.

Elevated blood sugar after meals could increase the risk of type-2 diabetes, so resting after eating "is the worst thing you can do", the study said.

文中的type-2 diabetes就是“二型糖尿病”的意思。二型糖尿病占糖尿病患者90%以上。肥胖、高热量饮食和缺乏运动是二型糖尿病的主要致因。

此外，文中第二段的post-meal walks意思就是“饭后行走”。前缀post-表示“在„„之后”，类似的例子如postgraduate 研究生（在本科毕业之后）；postwar 战后；postscript 后记、跋（在正文文稿之后）；post-impressionism 后印象主义。

A US judge has sentenced a Chinese national, Xiang Li, to 12 years in prison for selling more than $100m of pirated US software.

Mr Li is accused of stealing software from 200 US manufacturers and selling it for a fraction of their prices.

He was arrested in the US Pacific territory of Saipan in June 2011 and pleaded guilty earlier this year.

US officials have said that this is the first time a Chinese national had been prosecuted in the US for such crimes.

文中的pirated software就是“盗版软件”的意思。pirate原意为“海盗”，在这里就是指“盗版者“、”盗印者”。知识产权（intellectual property）现在正越发受到关注，对盗版行为的惩罚也越加严重。

文中还有一些与法律相关的词汇，如sentence，在这里作动词，意为“判决”；prison 监狱（近义词：jail、gaol）；be accused of 被指控；be arrested 被捕；plead guilty 认罪；prosecute 提起公诉；release 释放。

Various kinds of street vendors are helping the city become more dynamic; and more and more white-collar workers are now part of this group of small retailers. According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, about 79.2 percent of 1,891 interviewees said they saw white-collar workers setting up street stalls. Besides, 68.1 percent said they supported this initiative.

About 35 percent of interviewees come from big cities, 29.5 percent, from

mid-sized cities, 19.8 percent, from small cities, 11.5 percent, from counties and 3.8 percent, from the countryside.

“set up a street stall”解释为摆地摊，“stall”解释为书报亭、货摊。相关的词组有：market stall 大排档、shop stall 商业档位。

“white-collar worker”是指白领一族，其他的还有：blue-collar worker 蓝领一族、gold-collar worker 金领一族、grey-collar worker 灰领一族。

They look chic and sophisticated. They are soft and get hurt easily. They seem unbearably spoilt and can't take much pressure. They are the so-called "Strawberry Generation".

The term was coined by a Taiwan writer in one of her books about office rules. It refers to the post-60s generation of office workers, who grew up in a protected environment and got easily dented–just like strawberries–by life's lightest knocks.

This expression is now finding its way into the mainland, and refers to young workers, of only child families, who have been active in the workforce for just a year or two.

“Strawberry Generation”解释为草莓族，是指刚刚参加工作一两年的独生子女一代。“generation”解释为一代，比如：Sandwich Generation 三明治一代。“coin”通常作名词使用，解释为硬币、钱币。此处作为动词使用，解释为创造（新词），比如：coin new words 创造新词、coin money 发大财。

The death toll in the deadly BRT bus fire in Xiamen has risen to 48, and more than 30 were injured.

The BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) bus caught fire at about 6:20 p.m., said an official from the municipal government. The fire broke out when the bus was 500 meters away from the Jinshan bus stop.

Some witnesses said they heard explosions about ten minutes after the fire broke out.

A nurse at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University said the hospital has admitted 17 of the injured, including three to the intensive care unit, according to the Xinhua report.

文中“BRT”的意思是快速公交车，即为快速公交系统（Bus Rapid Transit），是一种介于快速轨道交通（Rapid Rail Transit，简称RRT）与常规公交（Normal Bus Transit，简称NBT）之间的新型公共客运系统。这是一种大运量交通方式，通常也被人称作“地面上的地铁系统”。transit的基本含义是“运输”，在此处意为“公共交通运输系统”，如mass transit 公共交通，transit line运输路线。

Residential and commercial areas and metro stations in downtown Shanghai suffered more than one hour of blackout this Wednesday night due to a massive power outage, authorities said.

Some commuters of Metro Line 2 were trapped inside the train while customers of department stores in part of Jing'an, Huangpu and Putuo districts were trapped in elevators due to the power failure.

No one was reported injured and it was unclear how many people were affected in the incident.

文中的massive power outage的意思就是“大面积停电”。文中的blackout和power failure（相当于power cut）也是“停电”、“断电”的意思。

这里的power不译为“力量”，它是“电力”的意思。相关的词组如power board 接线板；power cable 输电电缆；power grid 电力网；power plant 发电厂；power pole 电线杆；power point 电源插座等。

Three Chinese astronauts will blast off in the Shenzhou X spacecraft this month for a two-week mission to make final preparations for the construction of a space laboratory next year.

China Central Television reported yesterday that the spacecraft, mounted on top of a Long March 2F rocket, had been wheeled to a launch pad at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Inner Mongolia, with the mission scheduled for the middle of this month.

The entire mission will last about 15 days, or two days longer than the maiden flight to Tiangong I last year.

文中的blast off就是“（火箭）发射升空”的意思。文中还有一些与火箭发射相关的词汇、词组，如：astronaut 宇航员；Shenzhou X spacecraft 神舟十号飞船；Long March 2F rocket 长征2F火箭；launch pad 发射台；Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre 酒泉卫星发射中心；maiden flight 处女航、首航；Tiangong I 天宫一号。

The TV and online adverts in England will outline the risk to children of people lighting up in cars and homes from Wednesday.

Research suggests the effects of passive smoking on children costs the NHS £23m a year by causing 300,000 GP visits and 9,500 hospital admissions.

Most of those patients were suffering from breathing-related problems although smoke was also blamed for diseases of the ear and other illnesses.

The adverts are a re-run of the campaign held last year.

文中的passive smoking字面意思是“被动吸烟”，即“二手烟”，也可以说成是second-hand smoking。被迫吸二手烟的人就是passive smoker。passive的意思是“被动的”，相对于active（积极的），语法中我们学到的“被动语态”，英文就叫做passive voice。 另外，文中第一段的light up，是动词短语，意思是“点燃、点亮”，联系上下文，在这里就是指“点燃香烟”，译作“吸烟”。

Cellphones and social networking may be killing off the old civilities and good graces, but a new generation of etiquette gurus is rising to make old-fashioned protocols relevant to a new generation.

Their goal is to help young people navigate thorny, tech-age minefields, like invitation on social networking sites and online dating, not to mention actual face-to-face contact with people.

Perhaps the fastest growing area of social advice is what's been termed

“netiquette”. There are online tutorials on using emoticons in business e-mails, being discreet when posting on social networks and re-posting too many micro blog messages.

boils（疖），burns（灼伤），chafing（擦伤），cuts（切割伤），cracked skin（皮肤龟裂），nappy rash（尿布疹）和insect bites（虫类叮咬）

“World Athletics Championships”就是“世界田径锦标赛”的意思。其中，athletics是复数型名词，指体育运动，在英式英语中，特指田径运动。不加s的athletic，是形容词，义为“运动的”、“体育的”或“健壮的”，如an athletic coach 运动员教练。而“运动员”的英语说法是athlete。

世界田径锦标赛由国际田径联合会（IAAF，International Association of Athletics Federations）组织，自1991年起每2年举办一次。本次世界田径锦标赛于8月10日至18日在俄罗斯首都莫斯科举办，而下一届比赛将于2015年在北京举办。

For more than a decade, shark fin soup has been served in any meal intending to highlight the host's wealth, resulting in the consumption of hundreds of millions of shark fins.

Up to 73 million sharks are killed each year for their fins.

One third of the world's nearly 500 shark species are facing extinction.

However, the shark fin market has been hit by a drastic market downturn recently. Precise figures are difficult to come by, but industry estimates the market has shrunk by between 50 and 70 percent.

“shark fin”是鲨鱼翅的意思，即为人们常说的“鱼翅”，其中fin意为“鳍，鱼翅”，人类割掉鱼鳍之后将鲨鱼扔回海里，鲨鱼会因为溺水或者流血过多而死。

另外，文中face extinction意为“濒临灭绝”，其中extinction意为“消亡，绝种”，如mass extinction（大量消亡），in danger of extinction（面临灭绝的危险）。

A televised contest that has become hugely popular in China has led to nationwide hand-wringing over the population's increasing inability to write Chinese characters.

The rapid rise of computers and smartphones has left most young people barely able to write by hand, with many unable to recall the estimated 10,000 characters used in daily life without an electronic prompt.

The state broadcaster CCTV launched the Chinese Character Dictation Competition this month to improve the population's handwriting amid fears that the country's complex writing system, a highly prized treasure of its ancient culture, is entering an inexorable decline.

文中的Chinese characters就是“汉字”的意思。wording或diction，意思是“措辞”，font是指“字型、字体”，而calligraphy意思是“书法”。称赞某人写得一手好字，可以说他writes a good hand或has good handwriting；handwriting义为“书法、书写”，是不可数名词。

China's State Council has approved the establishment of a pilot free trade zone in Shanghai, according to a Ministry of Commerce statement last Thursday. Experiences gained from the pilot zone are expected to be copied in other parts of the country, according to the statement.

Covering 28.78 square kilometers, the new zone will be built on the basis of existing bonded zones – Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, Waigaoqiao Free Trade Logistics Park, Yangshan Free Trade Port Area and Pudong Airport Comprehensive Free Trade Zone.

“pilot free trade zone”在文中解释为自贸试验区（自由贸易试验区）。“pilot”在此是形容词，解释为试验性的，例如：pilot edition 试用版、pilot project 试点项目。

另外，文中的“establishment”可解释为设立，它还可以解释为机构、当局。比如：public establishments 公共机构、welfare establishment 福利机构等。

Ghosting refers to leaving a social gathering without saying your farewells. It usually happens when you are too drunk to say a proper goodbye or you don't want to interrupt the host and make other guests take it as a cue to leave and thus kill the party.

One moment you're at the party or the wedding lunch. The next moment you're gone. "Where'd he go?" your friends might wonder. But–and this is key–they probably won't even notice that you've left.

But is it rude to leave without saying goodbye? A perky thank-you text the next day is fine. What do you think?

文中的ghosting就是“不辞而别”的意思。ghost本是名词，此处用作动词，指像鬼一样溜走，引申作“不辞而别”之意。此外，ghost作为动词本身还有“替人代笔”之意，并有ghost-writer “代笔者”一词较为常用。

文中最后一段出现的leave without saying goodbye也是“不辞而别”的意思，其他同义表达还有：take French leave；say Irish goodbye；Dutch leave；peel out等。

kill the party是很形象的表达，指“把聚会给毁了”。与之类似，kill-joy与wet blanket指“扫兴或者煞风景的人”。

Much like Western culture's Halloween, some Eastern cultures celebrate a Fall festival where they believe the gates of hell are thrown open, releasing hungry ghosts to wander the earth in search of food and taking revenge upon those who wronged them in life.

This month-long festival is known as the Hungry Ghost Festival.

People would also burn things such as paper houses, cars, servants and televisions to please the ghosts.

Families also pay tribute to other unknown wandering ghosts so that these homeless souls do not intrude on their lives and bring misfortune and bad luck.

文中的“Hungry Ghost Festival”就是“中元节”的意思。中元节，类似于西方的万圣节（All Saints' Day）和万圣夜（Halloween）。西方的传统节日在国内越来越盛行，但国人也不要忘记自己的传统节日哦。七夕节的说法是“Tanabata Festival”或“Chinese Valentine's Day”；中秋节的说法是“the Mid-Autumn Festival”；元宵节的说法是“Lantern Festival”。

Today, it is usual to claim that manners are getting worse: there's too much lunging for the bread, both literally and metaphorically.

One of the just examples is sodcasting. To sodcast is to play loud music through a phone's speaker in a public location such as on a crowded bus or subway. The music could be loud enough to annoy other people, through which sodcasters beg for public attention.

文中的sodcast就是“公放音乐”的意思。“公放音乐的人”（即“音乐公放怪”）就是sodcaster。这个词是podcast（播客）一词的衍生，词源来自broadcast（广播）这个词。sod

一词本义为“草皮”，在英国俚语中，常可解释为“讨厌的人”或“麻烦事”。cast用作动词，意思是抛、投。sod+cast合在一起诞生了一个新词，代指在公共场合把音乐放得很大声、让别人都听得见的行为。

文中还出现了“lunge for bread”这个新鲜用法，原意是“向面包冲刺”，这里引申为追求物质生活。

As part of an effort to improve treatments for illnesses, a team of scientists have created glow-in-the-dark rabbits.

The rabbits were born at the University of Istanbul as part of a collaboration between scientists from universities in Turkey and Hawaii.

To produce the glowing effect, researchers injected jellyfish DNA into a mother rabbit's embryos.

"The green is not important at all. It's just a marker to show the experiment can be done successfully," said University of Hawaii Associate Professor Stefan Moisyadi.

文中的“glow-in-the-dark rabbits”是夜光兔的意思，其中glow作为动词时，通常指无焰或无烟地“燃烧；发光”，也可用来比喻人的“感情洋溢”，如glow with joy（闪烁着喜悦的光芒）；glow-in-the-dark是一个复合形容词，类似的表达如carry-on luggage（随身携带的行李）。

另外文章第二句中出现的“collaboration”译为“合作”，如close collaboration（密切合作），permanent and efficient collaboration（持久有效的合作）。

For about 66 per cent of us, being with your phone at all times is an obsession that occupies every waking minute.

If you think you may suffer from nomophobia - or 'no mobile phone phobia' – then the warning signs are:

■ An inability to ever turn your phone off;

■ Obsessively checking for missed calls, emails and texts;

■ Constantly topping up your battery life;

■ Being unable to pop to the bathroom without taking your phone in with you. The number of people afflicted with nomophobia — revealed in a recent study — shows a rise from a similar study four years ago, where 53 per cent of people admitted the fear of losing their phone.

文中的nomophobia就是“无手机焦虑症”的意思，是指在手机丢失、手机没电或余额不足、不在服务区时，手机用户的焦虑反应。正如文中第二段提到的，这个词由no-、-mo-和-phobia三个词缀（词素）构成。其中no-为否定含义，-mo-是手机（mobile phone）的缩写，而-phobia是英语中常见的一个后缀，带有“害怕、忧虑”的意思，又如acrophobia 恐高症、hydrophobia 恐水症（如狂犬病）、nyctophobia 黑夜恐怖症和trypophobia 密集恐惧症等。

A road safety campaign to promote safer driving and avoid reckless driving has been launched, China's Ministry of Public Security said Friday.

During the campaign on Thursday, police around the country caught 14,280 drivers for speeding and 760 motorists for carrying too many people and gave subsequent punishment. Police also punished 13,782 cases relating to overloading and 2,196 drivers for tiredness while driving, the ministry said.

“reckless driving”在文中解释为鲁莽驾驶。“reckless”是形容词，解释为鲁莽的、不计后果的，例如：reckless action 鲁莽的行为、reckless driver 鲁莽的司机。

此外，文中与道路安全相关的词汇还有：road safety 道路安全、safe driving 安全驾驶、overload 超载、speeding 超速行驶、tiredness while driving 疲劳驾驶。

As mistakes go, it was a pricey one. A so-called fat finger trading error at a large Chinese brokerage was reportedly behind wild swings on the country's stock market on Friday.

China's main stock index was up as much at 5.6% at one stage and trading volumes were up more than 50% on the day before as 1.5 bn shares changed hands. The buying frenzy appears to have been triggered by China Everbright Securities sending through billions of incorrect purchase orders for shares. The brokerage's own shares were soon suspended, China's securities regulator said it was looking into the volatility and by the end of play the morning's spectacular rally had been undone by equally dramatic plunges in share prices. That left the Shanghai Composite Index down 0.6% on the day.

文中的fat finger就是“乌龙指”的意思，是指股票交易员、操盘手、股民等在交易时，不小心敲错价格、数量或买卖方向等，也可以拼写作fat-finger。

The owner of an illegally-built two-story "rooftop villa" constructed on the rooftop of a high-rise apartment building in Beijing said Tuesday that he would tear it down within 15 days, after local authorities posted a notice on his door Monday and attracted wide public attention.

Zhang Biqing, the owner of a penthouse in a 26-story building in Renji Shanzhuang, a residential compound in Beijing's Haidian district, admitted Tuesday that he illegally built a small sunlight room on the rooftop, and gradually expanded it with rocks, trees and artificial landscapes that take up some 800 square meters, reported the Legal Mirror.

Zhang said that the structure is not a "villa" but said it is a grape trellis that he recently built to house vegetation as "thermal insulation" to reduce the heat absorbed by the rooftop in summer, and the "rocks" were made by a light-weight material to enclose the chimneys that would blow unpleasant kitchen and bathroom odors to his apartment, and he later added bonsai trees to make it "look good."

文中的rooftop villa可以解释为“空中楼阁”，直译为屋顶别墅。其中rooftop一词意为屋顶，与其相关的习惯用法有“shout something from the rooftops”，译为广而告之、公开宣布或是使众人皆知。villa则是别墅、庄园住宅的意思。在英国，寻常百姓住的房屋可大致分为三种类型：semi-detached house 两户相连房屋， detached house 独门独户的院落和 terraced house 连栋房屋。

But this is often not the case and vigilance must be maintained by parents while children play with the electronic toys.

文中的“laser”是激光的意思，最初的中文名叫做“镭射”，现在激光已得到广泛应用，如laser printer（激光打印机），laser scalpel（激光手术刀），laser record（激光唱片）等。

Official data showed that China's economic growth decelerated from 7.7 percent in the first quarter to 7.5 percent in the second, matching the government's full–year target, a rate that would make this year the slowest in two decades.

Some of frequent fliers often have to adjust a sleep schedule days before a trip, seeking out bright light at certain times, or forcing the body to eat and sleep on local time immediately upon arrival.
