烦人的促销电话

Courtesy call

骚扰电话,估计有手机的人都接到过吧?不是赠送保险,就是推销红酒,特别是刚买完房子准备装修的,装修公司打来的电话那是一个接一个。反正都挺惹人厌的。可是你知道吗?这种烦人的促销电话在英语里竟然叫courtesy call!简直是反讽到了极致啊!

Courtesy callis a sugarcoated term used by telemarketers which really means sales call.This is one of the most deceitful and misleading phrases ever since there is nothing courteous about it.

Courtesy call(字面意思:礼节性电话)是被电话促销员巧妙伪装了的一个词,其实就指“促销电话”。这个词算是史上最具欺骗性和误导性的词了,因为“促销电话”本身没有一点礼节可言。

For example:Hello.This is a courtesy call from Talk America which is inviting you to switch to our service.

你好。这里是来自Talk America的销售电话,我们想邀请您改用我们的服务。

你还能更“2”吗?

“二”是现在一个很火的词,可以用来形容一个人头脑简单,行为愚蠢。那么在英语中如何地道地表达“二”的意思呢?其实就是一个很简单的词:thick。

“Thick”这个词我们初中就学过了,就是“厚”的意思。可是我们今天要说的,是thick在口语中另外一个常用的意思"lacking mental agility; of low intelligence; stupid”。如果你看过《哈利·波特》,那么你会发现thick简直就是赫敏和罗恩经常挂在嘴边的一个词。我们举几个例子:How thick could you get
