黑就是black?趕快把中式英語收一收吧!

不知道大家有沒有這樣的經歷, 但是小編聽到過有人說:The sky is black, I'll go home.其實這句話是有問題的, 可能說這話的人覺得黑色就是black呀, 中文用天黑是沒問題的, 但是英文這裡就是✘(錯)的, 英文裡是dark, 不是black哦~

例:

The sky is black, I'll go home.(錯)

The sky is dark, I'll go home.(對)

除了天黑我們容易用black, 有人在形容一個人的皮膚黑的時候, 第一個想到的可能也是black, 在這裡小編要告訴大家, black可以形容膚色, 但是是指種族。 那麼皮膚黑到底該怎麼說?

例:

You look tanned. 你看起來曬黑了。

I've got dark skin. 我天生皮膚黑。

這些表達用的都不是black, 那black到底怎麼用?別急, 聽小編慢慢說~

Black Friday

黑色星期五(每年11月的第4個星期五)

be in the black

如果講一個銀行帳戶in the black, 說明裡面還有一些錢。 如果一個人或企業是in the black, 那麼他們在銀行還有存款, 沒有負債。

例:

Incredibly, we're still in the black after our holiday.

難以置信, 度假之後我們在銀行還有存款!

a black day

A black day is a day when something very unpleasant or sad happens.

發生了一些很不開心的或者悲傷的事情的一天。

例:

When we heard the news that Micheal Jackson had died, we knew it was going to be a black day for all of his loyal fans.

當我們聽到Micheal Jackson去世的消息, 我們就明白這對於他所有忠實粉絲來說, 將會是悲痛的一天。

as clear as black and white

表示極度明顯清晰, 明顯界定或區別, 沒有任何困惑或者含糊不清的空間

例:

(1) Love isn't always as clear as black and white, you know. You have to accept that there are many gray areas in relationships.

愛不總是黑白分明的, 你知道嗎。 在戀愛關係中你不得不接受裡面許多的灰色地帶。

(2) Devil is not so black as he is painted .

魔鬼並不像人們所畫的那麼黑。

(3) No one is as bad as people say he is. (which implies that people are saying too many bad things about someone.) I can't believe that actress is as mean as the gossip columns say she is. The devil is not so black as he is painted.

我不相信那個女演員真像八卦專欄上寫的那麼尖酸刻薄。 魔鬼並不像大家所畫的那麼黑。

black out

a. (for lights) to go out 熄滅。

Suddenly the lights blacked out. 燈都熄滅了。

b. 昏倒, 變得失去意識, 斷片兒

例:

(1) Every time I drink, I always black out.

每次一喝酒我就斷片兒。

(2) My problem is that whenever I go for a drink with my friends from home, we always take it too far, and before I know it, I black out!

每次我和家裡的朋友們一起去喝酒, 我們總是會喝太多, 然後還沒反應過來, 我就已經斷片兒了。
