1. 活該！ serves you(him,her) right! = you deserve (he/she deserves it.)
e.g you failed the test? serves you right for not studying!
活該！ you had it coming!
a: i gained weight!
b: well, you had it coming, because you‘ve been eating so much without exercising.
2. 胡鬧that’s monkey business!
e.g.a: stop fooling around! that’s monkey business! 別再混日子了！你根本在胡鬧嘛！
注：本句也可把monkey當成動詞說成“stop monkeying around!”
3．請便！ help yourself.
do as you please. (表示不需准許而可取東西，就是請客人自在點，不必太拘束。)
4．哪有？ what do you mean? not at all!
注：如果只說“what do you mean？”那是不帶任何用意的問句，只是想問清楚對方的意思；但是它也可用於挑釁及威脅，代表不滿對方表達的意見。若加上“not at
all”，表示你在否認對方表達的意思。
5．纔怪！ yeah，right！
as if！
e.g.a: today’s test was very easy.
b: yeah, right!
a:he thinks he can socialize with us! as if! 他自認可以跟我們交往！ 纔怪！
注：“yeah，right”常用於諷刺性的回答。“as if”大多是10到17歲女孩的用語。
6．加油！ go for it！
e.g. a: go for it! you can do it!
注：這是鼓勵他人的話，也就是“give it a good try.”“try your best.”。
7．夠了！ enough！
stop it！
注：也可以加強語氣說“enough is enough！”。要是對方正在fooling around（
無所事事），你會罵他“enough of this foolishness！”（混夠了吧！）
8．放心！ i got your back.
e.g.a: don’t worry, man. i got your back.
注：這句原本來自“i’m covering you from behind”（我在後面掩護你），是打仗
時軍人常說的一句話。但在現代的意思是我會照料一切，要對方不必擔心，所以這句男
人會常用，女人反而較少用。
9．愛現！ showoff！
e.g. a： he’s been doing that all day. what a showoff!
注：showoff是名詞，也可作動詞，如：she likes to show off her toys. 或he is
always showing off his strength.
10．討厭！so annoying！
e.g. a: stop that! you are so annoying!夠了！你真討厭！
11．免談！ no need to discuss！（no need for discussion.）
e.g. a: it’s all settled. there’s no need to discuss it anymore. 全都確
定了。所以就免談了！
12．真棒！ that’s great!
13．好險！ that was close！
e.g. a: i’m so glad you made it. that was close!
注：這裏的close是很接近、幸好的'意思，和開門關門（open and close）的close不同。
14．閉嘴！ shut up！
15．好爛！ it sucks！
e.g. a: that sucks. don’t buy it.
注：這句話可用來形容人、事物的狀況令人失望或十分不理想。
16．真巧！ what a coincidence！
17．幼稚！immature！

at all. 你是花癡喔？別再討好他了。他根本不喜歡你。

se（賣弄風情的女人）專指女性。
19．痞子！riff raff！
e.g. a: these people give me the creeps. riff raff! 這些人使我起雞皮疙瘩。
真是一羣痞子！
