妙語佳句，活學活用

1. My heinie is dipping.

這句話的意思是“我想大便”。Heinie 在俚語中指“屁股”。

2. You suck!

意思就是“（你們）太爛了！”

說Somebody/Something sucks! 就是說“某人/某事真差勁，糟透了！”有很多情況下可以用到這個詞：

a. 昨天晚上你看了一場電影，如果朋友問你："How was the movie? (電影怎么樣？)"，你覺得那部片子真是拍得不怎么地，你就可以說："It sucked!"，而且可以特別使勁地，強調一下"sucked"，強烈表示你的不滿。

b. 你有朋友今晚要向他心愛的女生表白，如果明天你問起他事情進行得如何，他告訴你他最終還是臨陣打了退堂鼓，你可以笑他真是沒出息，然后趕緊加一句："You totally sucked!"(你可真沒用。)

c. 你們去趕公共汽車，但是剛好錯過沒趕上，下一班車還要很久才會來，這時候：

A: Guess what? We've just now missed the bus, and the next one won't come for another 45 minutes. 知道嗎，我們剛好錯過公車了，下一班還要過四十五分鐘才會來。

B: That sucks. 真遜！

反正，如果你不喜歡某人或是某事，或是表示很失望，說他/她/它 "suck"就對了！但是要注意時態的用法啊！

3. Preachy

這個詞的意思是“愛說教的，愛嘮叨的”，如果有人在你耳邊喋喋不休，或是總是教你什么該做什么不該做，就可以說他/她是 preachy。

4. Touch on

這個片語的意思是“提起，談到”，例如：In his lecture he touched on the major aspects of the controversy. 他在講座中提到爭議的主要方面。

5. I beg to differ/disagree

這是一個正式用語，是一種禮貌地表示不同意別人意見的說法，可以翻譯為“恕不同意”，比如：I beg to differ with Mr Lee's final assertion. 恕我不能同意李先生的最后斷言。
