皮卡丘可能是個假人類,不喜歡可樂、果汁、酒,唯獨就好白開水。
1、“白開水”用英語怎麼說?
正確表達:plain boiled water
我們來解析一下,plain /pleɪn/ 清澈的、樸素的
boiled /bɔɪld/ 沸騰、燒開的
boiled water 燒開的水
清澈燒開的水,那就是白開水咯
例句:
We should drink more plain boiled water every day.
我每天都應該多喝涼白開。
2、“熱水、溫水”英語怎麼說?
正確表達:warm water /warm boiled water(平時喝的熱水、溫水)
例句:
Wash your face thoroughly with a mild soap and warm water.
用刺激性不強的肥皂和熱水把臉徹底洗乾淨。
國外版"知乎"Quora上有人提了這樣一個有趣的問題:What is the most Chinese thing a Chinese person can do?
一條被讚了400多次的高票回答是:喝白開水 (Drink warm boiled water)
《洛杉磯時報》還曾刊登了一篇題為“中國飲料不二之選:熱水,講真!”的文章,作者結合自身經歷講述了喝熱水在中國是一件多麼重要的事。
For many Westerners, the idea of drinking plain hot water is odd. But most Chinese (among others) think Americans' habit of chugging [ˈtʃʌɡɪŋ] ice water is equally bizarre, and even unhealthy.
對很多西方人來說,純喝熱水的理念很奇葩,而很多中國人覺得美國人咕咚咕咚喝冰水的習慣也一樣怪異,甚至很不健康。
3、hot water又是什麼水呢?
它是剛煮開的滾燙的水,是用來泡茶、衝咖啡的,直接喝hot water會出事的。
hot water 還表示:deep trouble(大麻煩)difficult situation(困境)"be in hot water" or "get into hot water"意為“處於水深火熱”之中
例句:
He found himself in hot water over his comments about immigration.
他發現自己針對移民事務發表的那些言論給自己惹上了麻煩。
