“某某”英語怎么說:“某某”英文解析

2014年9月9日 16:40:30

我們聊天時(shí),如果記不清某某人的名字,就用“那個(gè)人”或“某某人”來指代;記不清某物的名字,我們會(huì)用“那個(gè)什么”、“那啥”來代替。英文中,這種情況下用什么詞呢?今天阿卡索就來跟大家講解一下英語中“某某”的具體用法和解析。

?

1. what's-his-name/what's-her-name:

例:

She was with what's-his-name—you know, the one who wears orange jeans.(她和那個(gè)誰……就是那個(gè)穿橙色牛仔褲的人在一起。)

Send the report to what's-her-name in that shool.(把報(bào)告寄給那個(gè)學(xué)校的某某人。)

?

2. so-and-so: an expression meaning a particular person, used especially when you are mentioning someone that another person often talks about, and their actual name is not important 當(dāng)你和對(duì)方談話時(shí)講起一個(gè)對(duì)方經(jīng)常提到的人,而那個(gè)人的真實(shí)名字也不重要的時(shí)候使用

例:

Whenever you ask her about anything, it's always "so-and-so says this", or "so-and-so says that" - she never gives her own honest opinion.(不管問她什么,她總是說“某某人這樣講”、“某某人那樣講”,從來不會(huì)說自己的看法。)

They're always gossiping about so-and-so having an affair with so-and-so.(他們總是在八卦誰和誰又好上了。)

?

3. something:

1:《老友記》S01E07

Chandler: Oh my God, it’s her, it's that Victoria's Secret model. Something... something Goodacre.(啊天吶,是她,維多利亞秘密內(nèi)衣的模特,名字叫……某某·古達(dá)克的。

2:《老友記》S02E06

TERRY: F.Y.I. I've decided to pay a professional musician to play in here on Sunday afternoon. Her name is Stephanie something. She's supposed to be very good.(順便通知你一下,我決定請(qǐng)一個(gè)專業(yè)歌手每周日下午來表演。她名字叫史蒂芬妮·某某,大家都說她不錯(cuò)。)

可見,''something''既可以指代“名”,也可以指代“姓”——任何想不起來的部分。

?

4. whatever-her-name-is:

例:《老友記》S02E06

RACHEL: Why don't you just let her go on after Stephanie whatever-her-name-is. I mean, you won't even be here. You don't pay her. It's not gonna cost you anything.(你何不讓她接在史蒂芬妮·某某后面表演?反正你又不來這兒聽,也不用付給她錢,對(duì)你來說沒損失?。。?/span>

?

5. what's-its-name/whatsit(英式英語),whatchamacallit(美式英語): say this when you cannot remember the name of something (當(dāng)你記不起某人/某物的名字時(shí)用)那個(gè)什么來著

備注:''whatchamacallit''''What do you call it?''念快了的發(fā)音,音標(biāo)['wɑt??m?k?l?t]。

例:

What you need is a what's-its-name ... a torque wrench.(你得用那個(gè),那個(gè)——定力矩扳手。)

Did you see that boy with the whatsit round his head?(頭上包著那什么玩意那孩子,你看到了嗎?)

"I'm going to have a whatchamacallit when I have a baby." ?"What, you mean an epidural?"

-我生孩子的時(shí)候就要打那個(gè)什么什么針。? -什么?你說是硬膜外麻醉針嗎?)

I've broken the whatchamacallit on my bag.(我把包上的那個(gè)什么東西弄壞了。)

?

6. such and such: an expression meaning a particular thing, used instead of giving examples of what you are talking about (泛泛舉例)

例:

Americans are very proud of their country—they're always saying that such and such is the biggest in the whole world.(美國人很有民族自豪感,他們常說美國這又世界第一,那又世界第一。)

They will ask you to come on such and such a day, at such and such a time.(他們會(huì)叫你某天某時(shí)過去。)

?

7. things: something whose name you do not know exactly but that has particular features or is a type of the thing you are mentioning 你不知道某人/某物的名字,但能提起TA的特征

例:

He's got one of those electronic things, you know, that you can record all your addresses in.(他有那種電子產(chǎn)品,就是可以把地址都錄入的那種。)

What's that box thing on the table?(桌上像盒子的那個(gè)東西是什么?)

She was wearing one of those Spanish type jacket things.(她穿著類似西班牙夾克風(fēng)的衣服。)
