形容某人“能干”怎么说,“真了不起”怎么说,比其他人“略胜一筹”
略胜一筹 be a notch above
Be a notch above的意思就是 be better than someone,例如:
In oil painting, Mr.Zhang paints better than Mr.Liu.But when it comes to water colors, Mr.Liu appears to be a notch above Mr.Zhang.论油画,张先生比刘先生画得好。但是,谈到水彩画,刘先生可就比张先生略胜一筹了。
2.很能干 have something on the ball
这个片语的意思是“在某方面非常能干”,也写作 be on the ball,例如:
I know Li Ming has a lot on the ball.But I’m not sure if he likes to work here.我知道李明很能干,但我怀疑他是否真的愿意到我们这儿来工作。
Her typing is on the ball.她打字水平真是顶呱呱。
3.真了不起 really something
这可是一个非常口语的用法哦,really something 通常表示“重要的事,大事”,在形容人的时候就表示某人“真了不起”:
魏宗万电影He overwhelmed so many of his opponents alone.He’s really something.他真了不起,竟然一个人对付了那么多的对手。
说话兜圈子

有这样一段英语对话,内容是一个职员A拐弯抹角地说话,试图向他的老板B借点钱,而老板却不肯借,通过这段对话,我们可以掌握一个英语习语beat about the bush(说话兜圈子)的用法。下面首先请看这段对话:
A: Tom, I want to ask you something.汤姆,我想跟你说点事。
B: Say what you want to say.说吧。
A: You see.The wage is not paid yet, I have a big family to raise.你看,工资还没有发,而我必须养活一大家子人。
钱慧仪B: Yes.What else? 是的,你想说什么?
牛油果的功效与禁忌香港男星A: Last night, my son warned me that if I did not buy a toy car for him, he would no longer call me dad.昨晚我儿子警告我,如果我不给他买一个玩具汽车,他今后就不再叫我爸爸了。
B: Stop beating about the bush.Say what you really want!别兜圈子啦!你到底想要说什么?
A: I am wondering if you could possibly lend me some money.我想知道,你是否能借我一点钱?
B: I am sorry.But I do not have any money to lend to you.抱歉,我没钱借你。赞美老师的话 简短
你大概注意到了,上面这段对话有明显的“中国味。的确,在我们中国人之间,确实喜欢这
样兜圈子说话,但不是出于恶意,而是中国人讲究面子,说话比较含蓄,层层铺垫,以便让对方有一个心理接受的过程,因此上面这段对话,是很典型的中国式说法。但美国人的民族性格则比较直率,说话喜欢直来直去,不习惯这种吞吞吐吐的说法方式,因此向老板借钱这件事,如果我是那个职员,我会在第一句话中,就把结论说出来。请看:
A: Tom, I want to borrow 300 dollars.汤姆,我想借300块钱。
B: What do you need it for? 干什么用?
A: For birthday gifts to my son.给我儿子买生日礼物。
B: Okay!好吧!
靓汤
当然,这样说的前提是:我跟老板的私人关系很好,我以前的信用状况也很好(能及时还钱),才可以这样说。但从总体上看,与美国人打交道,说话直率,往往比说话兜圈子效果更好。
大人物
大家最熟悉的可能是VIP,这个缩写已经在国内广泛使用,它是指“A person of great importance or influence, especially a dignitary who commands special treatment.重要的或有影响的人物,尤指需要特殊对待的高官显贵”。这可能是所有表示“大人物”的词里面最尊贵的了吧。
除此之外,big cheese,big shot,big gun,big wheel,big enchilada 也都可以表示“An important, powerful person;the boss 大人物”,比如:
She loves being the big cheese of her company.她喜欢做公司里的大人物。
Big cheese 据说来源于 big chief。The big guns in Congress are bound to change the President's bill.议会里的要员决定修改总统的提案。这个表达现在已经很少用了。
You’d better not act like a big shot among your old friends.在老朋友中间,你最好不要充大亨。
Harry was the big wheel in his class.哈利是他们班上的大人物。Big wheel是“大轮子”,是在二战后流行起来的,指“公司的头头,政治领袖,有名的博士”,之所以称他们是“大轮子”,
是因为他们动力大,所作所为会影响许多人,他们发号施令,别人就得听他们的,就像机器里大轮子带动小轮子一样。
You'll have to get permission from the big enchilada.你得从老板那儿得到许可。Enchilada 本意是指“玉米卷饼”,俚语里指“老板,有影响力的人”。
你听说过big wig 么?wig 本来指“假发套”,以前欧洲人习惯戴假发,地位越高,假发也就越大,所以 big wig自然指“要人,大亨,尤指显赫有权势的官员”。还有一个 big fish,大家都听过“a big fish in a small pond小池塘里的大鱼”这个谚语吧,big fish 就是指“大人物”啦。电影《贝隆夫人》(Evita)里面出生贫贱的主人公Eva,怀着“我要当阿根廷的大人物”的憧憬,离开了她生活的小镇,抵达了阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯。彼时,她已是举目无亲、身无分文。为了自己心中的目标,艾薇塔
