You Are Such A Cow

Hey, guys. I am David. Welcome to Winners Special English.

 

大家好，欢迎大家收听Winners免费英语课程。我们想给大家带来地道的英语口语，让大家可以和外国人用英语讲话。

 

平时我们经常听到中国人说：哇，你真牛啊！那么这句话用英语是不是这样说：you are such a cow . 如果你和外国人
说这句话，有些外国人听了可能不太开心哦。那这个句子是什么意思呢？我们首先来看一个对话：

A: you are such a cow.

B: Uh, are you calling me fat ?  

A: No, no, it is a compliment in China. Does it mean something else in English?

B: Yes.  

B: Oh, I am sorry if I offended you. I didn’t know what I was saying ....  

  

 Ok, 我们一起来回顾一下这个对话的意思吧：

A: you are such a cow.

B: Uh, are you calling me fat ?  

   怎么啦，你是说我是一个胖子吗？

A: No, no, it is a compliment in China. Does it mean something else in English?

    不是，不是，在中国是说你恨棒的意思。在英语里面有其他意思吗？

B: Yes.  

   是的。

B: Oh, I am sorry if I offended you. I didn’t know what I was saying .......  

   对不起，我不是故意伤害你。我真不知道我刚才在说什么。

 

You are such a cow. You are such a cow. 在英语里面是说你很胖的意思。它的意思和You are fat. You are heavy是一样的。

 

Ok，接下来我们一起练习一下吧：（慢速，2遍）

you are such a cow. You are such a cow.

 

大家学会没有了没有？

 

You are such a cow, 也可以说you are such a pig.你吃的太多了，你太胖了。Stop eating so much. You are such a cow. You are such a pig.

 

还有，在美国，说别人胖最好不要说fat,这样不礼貌，所以一般情况不用fat来表达。

 

大家来和我一起来练习一下对话吧。Ready?（慢速，2遍）

 

A: you are such a cow.

B: Uh, are you calling me fat ?  

A: No, no, it is a compliment in China. Does it mean something else in English?

B: Yes.  

B: Oh, I am sorry if I offended you. I didn’t know what I was saying ......  

 

大家学会了没有? 请再练习几次吧。

 

Ok, thanks for listening. That’s all for today.

 

你们都很牛哦！
