英語里有哪些一說出來就知道他要裝逼的話?
像中文裡的,「不是我跟你吹」, 「我有一個朋友,blablabla」...一說出來,然後你就知道,這個逼他是裝定了 唯一能想到的英語例子是: No offense.還有別的嗎?
Studies show...
Experts agree...
Leverage....
Disrupt...
Make the world a better place....
Wait until I tell you about my vacation....
You"ll never guess who I hooked up with last night...
I see some real opportunities for synergy....
Won"t someone think of the children?
We"ve become a country of losers. We need to become winners again....幾種裝逼:
1. Humblebrag裝逼:
有一種裝逼說法叫」humblebragging」,一個人自嘲為了偽裝他的自誇。比如說:
- Man, I found studying at
Harvard/Oxford/Cambridge so hard! (兄弟,我覺得在哈佛牛津劍橋上學太難了!) - (When yawning the day after a date) Sorry I look
so tired. I er, didn』t get much sleep last night…(約會後的第二天,懶洋洋的打個哈欠,說,抱歉我看起來很累,呃……其實昨晚我沒怎麼睡……) - I didn』t realize buying a house in London was
such a long process. It』s so boring… (我根本沒有意識到在倫敦買房子需要這麼長的過程,太無聊了……) - Sorry I haven』t been around much lately, owning
your own business means your social life suffers a little…(抱歉我最近都沒有出現,擁有自己的生意總是伴隨著社交生活的小缺憾) - OMG those photos of me at the party in Rome are
so embarrassing!!! (意思是:I went to a party and you did not)(天啊,這些我在羅馬參加的聚會太令人尷尬了!意思是:我去了,你沒去
)
2. 不同意思的裝逼:
裝逼的話和他的本意不一樣,比如說:
- Correct me if I』m wrong but… (真正意思:我知道我沒錯…)
- Are you sure you want to be doing that? (真正意思:你做錯,我會告訴你正確的方式)
- I』m not being snobby, but…(真正意思: I
am about to be snobby (裝逼)) - I』m not about to tell you what you should be
doing with your life, but if I were you… (真正意思:I
am going to tell you what I think you should be doing with your life. i.e. Do
what I did with mine)
3. 「Fun」 和「quirky」裝逼
他們想讓你知道他」瘋了」,他們以為你很喜歡瘋人,其實他很惱人。
- I』m a bit wild / I』m loco / I』m a bit mental /
My friends call me crazy… - (說完一個關於他們的crazy故事後)What am I like?!
- Sometimes being a heavyweight drinker is such a
bore. I always have to stay out late partying… - I don』t take shit from anybody (真正意思:I
so far this day haven』t taken any shit from anybody) - Oh no! I slept through my English exam today. I』m
so crazy!
4. Man-of-the-world 裝逼
這種裝逼會讓你失去自信,其實結果是讓你恨他。
- I』ll never forget what that little orphan I
saved from a landslide said to me…(我永遠不會忘記我從泥石流裡面救起來的小孤兒……) - When I was building that homeless shelter…(當我幫忙建造那個無家可歸人的避難所……)
- If you』ve travelled as much as I have you will
know that…(如果你和我去過的一樣地方一樣多,你就會明白……) - There was this great little café in Milan next
to my apartment where I…(在我米蘭公寓的附近,有一個很棒的小咖啡館……) - If you know the locals as well as I do…(如果你對當地的情況和我了解的一樣的話……)
- I don』t really have any 「expat」 friends out
here…(我在這個國家沒有外國的朋友,只有當地的朋友) - After a month learning the local language, I got
a job doing…(我花了一個月學習當地的語言,我有了一個做……的工作)
讀論文看到推公式部分,"Obviously" "easily" "just"這些辭彙的出現往往意味著這一步應該很簡單很顯然很和諧分分鐘微笑著跳過。。。。。。但尼瑪就是不懂啊!!!!這個哪裡簡單了!!!讀者智商不夠拜託別隨便省略步驟啊!!!!這逼裝的我落淚。。。
我此前在一家500強外企工作,公司里很多老外,工作語言是英語。此為背景。
眾所周知,在外企里工作,母語是英語的人佔據天然優勢。不僅是英語流利與否的問題,更重要的是,同樣以英語為母語的人,他們的邏輯和思維方式是一致且高度自洽的。
中國經理時常面對的苦惱是,讓外籍老闆接受一些中國人很容易理解的事有時挺難的。
直到有一天,一個老外同事教了我一招:遇到有理說不清的時候,你一定要打本土牌,因為再厲害的老外老闆也不敢說他比中國人更了解中國消費者。
這個百搭句式是醬紫滴:
「Well,you know,based on my 20 years understanding of Chinese consumers,bla bla bla......」
「根據我20多年來對本土消費者的了解,對這個問題他們是這麼看的......」
實際應用場景如下:
一天,公司一個印度總監問了我一個問題:
「TT,你看飄柔(Rejoice)是中國知名度最高的洗髮水品牌之一,我們為什麼不順勢在飄柔下面推出沐浴露產品呢?」
「呃,飄柔給人的聯想就是一個跟頭髮相關的品牌,用洗頭髮的東西來洗身體,總讓人感覺怪怪滴。」
「多芬(Dove)一開始是一個沐浴露品牌,它後來推出了洗髮水,不也賣得不錯么?」
「呃,10多年前,飄柔就出過沐浴露,但賣得很不好,所以後來還是把沐浴露產品線給關了。」
「賣得不好有可能是執行問題呀,何況已經過了10多年。現在有很多韓國牌子在中國賣得很火,它們都有很多不同的產品線呀」
男人聽了會沉默,
良久。
。。。。
。。。。。。。「Well,you know,based on my 20 years understanding of Chinese consumers......」This is going off the record...
If I may...
Correct me if I"m wrong...
This is not politically correct but...
With all due respect...
As much as I want to agree...
Just FYI...
Apologies if my opinions offend you...論如何用英文流利的。。。。裝逼:
1. 要有逼格要乾淨(用於紳士撕逼)I don"t mean to be rude = 我這個人說話直,你別生氣,。。。。。。Don"t take this personally = 我不是針對你啊。。。。。。。With all due respect = 「我想罵你可是你還沒噴髒字」或者」你輩分職位比我高啊,可是還是想罵你「If you don"t mind me / allow me to/ may I suggest an alternative = 你的想法弱炸了,來聽聽我的2. 要有威懾力,可以臟一點 (用於ghetto街頭會面)I shit you not,。。。。。= 老子以吃屎的名義像你保證。。。。(想要搞個大新聞)Shitz about to go down =退後,我要開始裝逼了y"all dunno what you r talkin"bout =不知道自己在說什麼就少逼逼Diz ni**ga be tripping bro = are you high? = 你瘋了吧Hey, yo, no games now, for real, for real though = 看我認真的裝一BIf it ain"t for XXX, I"d XXX = 要不是XXX的原因,你看我不XXX I got you, I got you = 你別裝了我看不下去了3. 普通人的日常裝逼

繼續更新各地人的裝逼方法:
加拿大人:(道歉國不弱好嗎?我們只是有禮貌)I apologize in advance for what I am about to say, but............= 我提前道歉但是。。。。(後面一般都是撕逼了,去你奶奶的一類的)This may offend some people........=我知道你不願意聽,但是你算老幾我還是要說Sorry and not sorry = 我知道我說錯話了,我想道個歉可是還是想嗆你一下美國人:

Most trees are blue.I don"t want you guys to think because I was born in America that I speak English and abide by by English grammar, I speak Jaden, indefinitely.1 在其他人說完之後,突然『Be that as it may, ……

11 Just to be clear/
12 I"d love nothing more than to be proven wrong,
最後來一句我見過的 在一堆人的場合發言時 最體現逼格的:

一定要配合上下翻飛的語調和鄙視的語氣,飽含著深深的嘲笑和欲言又止,請自行體會。
...
如果說完這個單詞以後不再有下文,就約等於在說:你TM是在裝逼你知道嗎?
如果說完這個詞以後bla bla了一大串,這個詞差不多意味著:你給我聽好了,我要開始裝逼了!1) Here is the thing. 問題是....
經常用來表示表示委婉的轉折。
I love you so much, but here is the thing, I"m married.
我很愛你,但是問題是,我結婚了。
2) That being said 話雖如此
He is smart. That being said, he is an asshole.
他很聰明,話雖如此,但是他也是王八蛋。
