《一个让英美人无比纠结的小词》()。Brits: “What a night! We started out at Sarah’s house and made some cocktails, then had some drinks at a couple of bars in town. Sarah and I were quite pissed by the end of the night, we couldn’t stop laughing in the taxi on the way home!
那晚真是太棒了！我们先在莎拉的家里调配鸡尾酒，接着去镇上几家酒吧喝酒。深夜，我和莎拉都喝醉了，打了辆的士禁不住一路高歌着回家！
Yanks: “My mom is really pissed. She thinks that I could work harder at college, and wants me to spend less time with my friends. She’s mainly pissed that my grades are lower this term!
我老妈很忿怒，她觉得我在大学里可以更勤奋些，少和朋友浪费时间。尤其当得知我这个学期的分数更糟糕的时候，她彻底愤怒了。
