Word不是词语，Ship不是船，Dead不是死……那到底是啥嘞？！|跟Aussie聊天时，可要留神啊！

英语中很多词语都有其另外的含义。有些最常用的词语放在特定句式中其翻译出来的意思往往让你惊叹不已。比如：

1. Word

原意：单词，话语

作为俚语：Word = I agree。

例句：

– You do not have to agree on politics.
你们没必要在政治观点上保持一致。
– Word!
说得对！

2. Ship

原意：船

作为俚语：俚语的ship常被人用作支持某对影视剧里的CP（couple<情侣档>的缩写）。

例句:

I ship Ron/Hermione.
我站罗恩/赫敏这对儿。

3. Dead/Died

原意：死亡

作为俚语：Dead/Died在俚语里就是比较幽默的用法了。如果某件事情对你来说“太过了”(冲击力太强，激动得失血过量)，你就可以用上这个词。

例句：

I just saw Chris Evens’s new photo, I died.
我刚刚看到克里斯·埃文斯的新照了，好激动。

4. Cool

原意：凉爽；酷

作为俚语：类似于“OK”，“好、没问题”的意思。

例句：

Don’t worry, I’m cool.
别担心，我没事儿。

5. Swag

原意：花饰、花束、花环；偷来的东西，赃物

作为俚语：夸别人handsome、good-looking已经过时了。夸小鲜肉有一种新潮酷炫性感的style，就用上swag吧。

例句：

I’ve got more swag than you do.
我比你更酷。（这种用法的swag是名词）

6. Bae

作为俚语：这个词由baby/babe简化而来，是对男票/女票的爱称，相当于“宝贝儿”啦，“甜心”啦，“亲爱的”啦（注意语气充满爱意、深情款款）。

例句：

I can’t wait to see you, Bae.
宝贝儿，我真是等不及见你了。

7. Thirsty

原义：口渴

作为俚语：Thirsty的用法就广了，用于形容你对某样东西真的是孤注一掷的想要！想要！真的很想要！

例句：

I’m really thirsty for that new iPhone.
人家真的很想要新款iPhone，想要得要SHI了。

8. Low key

作为俚语：这个短语和key真的没有半毛钱关系。作为一种约定俗成的表达，low key表示“低调的，不张扬的”。

例句：

The wedding was a low-key affair, with fewer than thirty people attending.
婚礼办得很低调，参加者还不足30人。

9. Slay

原意：杀死（等同kill）

作为俚语：和“杀杀杀”毫不相关。如果你做的什么事情很惊人、很了不起，你就可以用上slay。

例句：

Adele’s ‘Hello’ slayed!
阿黛尔的《Hello》棒呆了！

2016-2017年度写作押题答案库小样：
1. Some people think students in primary school / secondary school should be taught how to manage money because it is an important life skill. Do you agree or disagree?

School curriculum is already fully packed. Students face tremendous pressure to complete academic requirement
Also, students are not income-earners. Learning how to manage money is not a skill of urgent need
Students neither have the time to add one more subject, nor the urgency to learn. Besides, they may not have the maturity to fully grasp this abstract concept
Avoidance is never the solution. Money is an essential part of everyday life, from everyday grocery shopping to mortgaging a house. Besides, schools’ responsibility is to help students form good habits young and prepare them for real life.
If money edu is part of the curriculum, students learn about the uses of money, the operation of financial institutions (banks), the functions of a range of sophisticated financial products and services (credit cards)
Understand the importance of personal budgeting, develop sensible spending habits, spend more responsibly
The current society gives much importance to monetary value and money plays an exaggerated role
By learning about how to manage money, students gain an understanding of the power and the limitation of money (what it can measure and what it cannot)
Form a balanced view about money, not buy into the consumerism and materialistic lifestyle

2. Some people believe public transport should be in charge of free. Do you think the advantages are more than disadvantages?

Car congestion is a common phenomenon in big cities (esp. rush hours), smog caused by car exhaust
Fair elimination encourages people to give up driving private cars and take PT instead.
Cut down traffic on the main road, solve congestion problem, reduce a city’s overall carbon footprint immensely, eco-friendly
Many low income residents refuse to take public transport due to financial concern
Free public transport makes it more accessible to everyone regardless of their income level
Provides these people with the possibilities to live and work in entirely different parts of a city, gain more job opportunities, gain financial ground
PT system costs money to expand, maintain and repair, which is often paid by fares. Transport workers also need to be paid.
Free PT means the government loses one important source of revenue, allocate budget from other sectors to meet the needs
Financial pressure on state budget, also it may mean a lower quality service
