雅思写作：用流行词汇让你的文章活泼生动

1.你是“轻量级读者”吗?

有的人一个晚上可以啃完一本大部头，有的人却一看到书上的字就止不住的犯困，后者被称为“轻量级读者”，英文表达是lightweightreader。

Lightweight reader rers to someone who gets sleepy or passes out shortlyafter starting to read.

“轻量级读者”指的是那些一开始看书就犯困或者看没多久就睡着的人。

Contrary to “heavyweight”, which means very powerful, “lightweight” meanshaving little ability, and lightweight reader is a reader who is not good atreading, in fact, far from good at it. You can also call him a poor reader.

和“重量级”(意思是十分强大)相反，“轻量级”的意思是能力极低。“轻量级读者”则是不擅长阅读的人，事实上，离擅长阅读差得很远。你也可以把“轻量级读者”叫作poorreader。

Example:

"I’m so screwed for this test, I didn't study at all."

"Why not? We had all week!"

"I’m a lightweight reader man, I never made it past section one."

“我这回考试铁定完蛋，完全没学习。”

“为啥呀?咱们不是有一整周的时间吗?”

“我是个轻量级的读者，总是翻不过第一章。”

2.有人喜欢“拽名牌”吗?

身边有些朋友特别喜欢名牌，买东西的时候非名牌不看，仿佛用着名牌才能证明自己的存在。在日常的谈话中，他们也很喜欢拿这个跟别人炫耀，一张口就拽各种名牌，让人有些消受不了。

Brand name-dropping describes the situation where someone attempts toimpress others by frequently mentioning the brand names of goods that one owns,it is usually regarded negatively.

Brandname-dropping指有人在别人面前频繁提及自己拥有的名牌物品，希望以此给人留下深刻印象，我们称之为“拽名牌”。这种行为一般都给人不好的印象。

This phrase, a play on name-dropping, has been showing up sporadically inthe media for a while now. Name-dropping is the practice of mentioning importantpeople or institutions within a conversation, story, song, online identity, orother communication. The term often connotes an attempt to impress others.

这个短语由name-dropping演化而来，时不时会在媒体上出现。Name-dropping指在谈话、叙事、歌曲创作、网络身份或其他形式的交流中提及重要人物或机构的名字，希望以此让别人印象深刻。

For example: The woman wore her Jimmy Choos to walk out her Fifth Avenueapartment to her waiting Town Car, her Coach bag on one arm and carrying heriPhone in her hand as her Fortune 500 CEO husband glances at his Rolex and tapsthe toes of his Berlutis impatiently.

比如这样一段话：那个女人脚蹬Jimmy Choo的鞋，走出位于第五大道的公寓，朝等在路边的林肯TownCar走去，一手拿着Coach包，一手拿着iPhone手机。她那在财富500强企业当首席执行官的丈夫看了一眼劳力士手表，不耐烦地晃蹬着脚上的伯鲁提鞋。
