do my business到底是什么意思
助理毛毛和外教Peter在拍摄抖音视频
毛毛正在专心拍摄,Peter突然说:
Sorry, I have to do my business first.
毛毛一脸惊讶地说:What business?
只见Peter一脸尴尬
我赶紧给毛毛解释
这里的business不是“生意”,而是......
NO.1
(说人话:上个厕所)
business
=个人事务
(别人替不了的~~)
处理自己的个人事务
这个厕所上的相当委婉了
例句:
I have to do my business first before we hang out.
出去玩耍之前,我得先上个厕所。
PS: 这个表达尤指宠物大小便,可以开玩笑地用来说自己,最好不要用在别人身上,有点不礼貌哦~~
business这个词可不简单
许多表达都和“生意”无关
千万不要理解错了!
NO.2
听到老外说:What a business
天真的你可别人为是在感叹什么生意
其实他很反感!
(俚语,相当于What a trouble)
例句:
It took ages to put together the documentation needed to get into the country. - What a business!
花了好长时间才将入境所需的文件整理好— 真是件麻烦事!
NO.3
business
=把戏
(相当于trick~)
monkey
=淘气鬼
淘气鬼的把戏
可不就是"恶作剧,胡闹"嘛
例句:
All right, boys, no monkey business,
we've got to get this job done.
好了,孩子们!别胡闹了,我们必须把工作做完。
NO.4
用于夸人
That new defender is the business!
那个新防守队员非常棒!
用于夸物
It's the business
=太酷了
Have you seen his new car? It's the business!
你看见他的新车没?太酷了。
