【翻译】嘿,龙纹身的女孩,不要随意横穿马路!
【适用场合】
今天的节目中,我们来学习一下英文中jaywalk的用法;
有同学看到这个单词可能会比较懵,因为Jay平时我们见到都是男性人名,其实据说20世纪初的美国,jay有“乡下人、缺乏城市经验的人”这样的意思;
所以,在英文中jaywalk其实可以理解成是一个动词:“不按照规矩走路;不遵守交规横穿马路”;
to walk across a street outside of a marked crosswalk or without regard for traffic rules;
eg: Come on, the crosswalk is right here—there's no excuse for jaywalking.
拜托,人行横道就在这里,没理由再横穿马路了吧。
eg: A: "Can you believe that cop just wrote me up for jaywalking? Unbelievable!"
B: "Of course you were ticketed—you stepped right out in front of traffic!"
A:“那个警察居然给我开了张乱穿马路的罚单!太离谱了吧!”
B:“你直接冲到车流前,他当然要罚你啊!”
eg: She got caught jaywalking and had to pay a $50 fine.
她因为横穿马路被抓了,不得不交了50美元罚款。
然后在英文中,这个动词后面可以加字母er,变成jaywalker,表示:“横穿马路的人;乱穿马路的人”;
eg: We nearly ran over a couple of jaywalkers who walked out in front of the car.
我们差点撞上了几个横穿马路的人,他们突然出现在车前。
