[英剧迷app]英剧迷应该知道的常用英式俚语

【#英语资源# 导语】英国人使用很多俚语，尤其朋友之间。其中很多词其他的英语国家也说，但有些是不列颠群岛特有的。为了帮你"cotton on"(俚语，理解)，以下提供一些在英国常能听到的词汇。

【打招呼、感谢】

Alright? – Hello. How are you? 你好

Hiya, Aye up – These informal greetings both mean Hello and are especially popular in the north of England. The aye is pronounced like the letter A。

这两种非正式的打招呼用法，都是"你好"的意思，在英格兰北部非常流行。其中"aye"发音与字母"A"同。

Howay – Let's go or Come on. 走吧

Ta – Thank you 谢谢

Cheers – This is usually said as a toast when you raise your glasses to celebrate, but it also means Thank you。

这个词通常在举杯祝酒的时候说，但也可以表示谢谢。

【人的称呼】

Bairn – Baby or young child 小孩子

Lad – Boy 男孩

Lass, Lassie – Girl 女孩

Bloke, Chap – Man 男人

Mate, Pal – Friend 朋友、伙计

Our kid – My brother or my sister 我的兄弟或姐妹

Don't be confused if someone calls you pet, duck, sweetie, love, chicken, chuck, chucky-egg or sunshine. People in the UK often use these terms when they are addressing other people as a sign of friendliness and affection. It is usually not appropriate for younger people to use these terms with older people, however。

如果有人叫你pet、duck、sweetie、love、chicken、chuck、chucky-egg或sunshine，不要觉得奇怪，英国人喜欢用这些昵称来表达友好和喜爱之情。不过年轻人这样称呼长辈就有些不妥。
