高考应用文关键词整理--complain、complaint、dissatisfied、dissatisfaction

评卷时,发现许多同学在使用某一类应用文关键词的时候常常出错,如在写邀请信时,要么是invite搭配错误,要么是出现拼写错误,写成了invent,甚至根本就没有出现表示应用功能的关键词invite。对于这类试卷,评卷老师会直接给不及格的分数,更不必说得高分了。从根本上说,这是基础问题,这样的错误纯属低级错误,很难得到评卷老师的原谅。所以,同学们一定要花些时间牢记这些关键词的用法,减少低级错误,争取应用文得高分。

吐槽只会用complain?美国人都用这个词!

01.

Roast

01.

Roast

大家都知道这个词是“烤”的意思,其实它还有另一个用法:

To roast someone: 批评某人

把某人放在舆论的烤架上,用语言猛烈地炙烤,引申为严厉批评的意思:

Putting them on the spot, putting all the heat on them, to criticize them

另外也可以表达带有挖苦、调侃的批评,这就和中文里的“吐槽”非常类似了,近几年中国大火的综艺节目《吐槽大会》的英文名就叫做《Roast》,它的原版是美国知名脱口秀《Comedy Central Roast》(喜剧中心吐槽大会),专门请明星来节目上吐槽:

Celebrity roast: 名人吐槽

吐槽者是 Roaster,如果是“被吐槽”用动词 get:

To get roasted: 被吐槽

I got roasted. 我被吐槽了。

在北美的婚礼上,为了活跃气氛,通常新郎都会被吐槽一下:

The groom gets roasted by the best man. 新郎被伴郎吐槽了。

02.

Complain

Complain 这个词你一定学过,它和吐槽类似,用来表示内心的不满:

To complain about something to someone: 和某人抱怨某事

比如你去了一家很糟糕的餐厅:

Complaining about the bad service… 抱怨服务差…

Complaining about the food… 抱怨食物不好…

也有人不管遇到什么事都要吐槽:

Someone is always complaining. 某人总是在吐槽。

Someone loves to complain. 某人很爱吐槽。

爱抱怨的人称为:

A complainer

具体接某件抱怨的事情,用介词 about:

He is always complaining about life. 他总是在抱怨生活。

其实真正在 complain 的时候,不一定会用到 complain 这个词,例如想和餐厅经理投诉、吐槽,通常直接用 speak:

I'd like to speak to the manager. 我想和经理谈谈(投诉)。

经理来了之后,向他指出自己要吐槽的东西,通常会用 complain 的名词形式:

Make a complaint:提出投诉

I'd like to make a complaint. 我要投诉一下。

03.

Moan/Whine/Gripe

说完这么正式的 complain,接下来介绍三个更生动的词:

Moan: /moʊn/ 呻吟,抱怨,吐槽(动物发出呻吟)

Whine: /waɪn/ 哭嚷,抱怨,吐槽(孩子喜欢哭嚷)

Gripe: /ɡraɪp/ 发牢骚,抱怨,吐槽

怎么用:Moan/whine/gripe+about/over

He is always moaning about his job.他总是吐槽他的工作。

He is always whining about his life.他总是吐槽他的生活。

He is always griping about his wife.他总是吐槽他的妻子。

He loves to moan / whine / gripe about everything! 他总是在吐槽一切!

04.

Fuss

爱吐槽的人通常比较挑剔,对什么都有要求,形容这种“事儿多”的人:

Fussy: 过分挑剔的

Make a fuss + about: 对…小题大做,大惊小怪

She is so fussy and always making a fuss. 她太挑剔了,总是小题大做。

还可以加上表示程度的短语:

Make a bit of a fuss: 有点小题大做

Make a huge fuss: 特别小题大做

另外去别人家做客时,如果你不想太麻烦主人,可以客气地说:

Oh, please, don't make a fuss. 别太麻烦您了。

No need to make a fuss. 不需要太麻烦。
