妙詞佳句，活學(xué)活用
1. the abs are fab（the abs are fabulous）and it's gluteus to the maximums
這里的abs指的是胃部的肌肉，Gluteus maximums
指的是臀大肌。但是這句話不可直譯成"胃部的肌肉真的是太棒了！臀大肌到了最大。"這會(huì)造成一個(gè)天大的笑話。因?yàn)樵诿绹?guó)，若要參加一些重要的盛大的晚會(huì)或者是晚宴，經(jīng)常會(huì)聽(tīng)到主持人講這樣的俏皮話來(lái)增添現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的輕松氣氛。那么此句的意思是什么呢？ “今晚大家不僅可以敞開(kāi)肚皮盡情的享受美食，而且還可以舞到天亮。”
2. everyone who's
anyone 這是非常地道的一種用法，意思是"非常重要的人"。除此之外，美國(guó)人還會(huì)用一些其它的表達(dá)方式來(lái)代替everyone who's
anyone，比如VIP= very important person，who is who，anyone who's
anyone！那么中國(guó)名流，就可以是：anyone who's anyone in china。
4. What the heck...? 可能大家在看電影的時(shí)候經(jīng)常會(huì)聽(tīng)到What the hell...？或者是What on

you doing?
5. Can I get a whoop,
whoop? 當(dāng)人們達(dá)到一種極度亢奮狀態(tài)的時(shí)候，經(jīng)常會(huì)說(shuō)的一句話。如果大家經(jīng)常看一些娛樂(lè)節(jié)目或者演唱會(huì)，體會(huì)會(huì)更深一些！比如我們經(jīng)常聽(tīng)到歌手對(duì)觀眾大聲說(shuō)："讓我聽(tīng)到你們的聲音好不好！"如果用英文表達(dá)的話就是"can
I get a whoop，whoop？"

foiled her plan.
