英文表达

stuff

讲解

东西，口语里面等于things，

但请国内同学们牢记stuff永

远不能加复数

= people

= 副词 very

= interesting （请朋友们注

意fun作形容词是其实并不是

funny “搞笑的”意思，但他

在日常生活里出现的频率一点

也不比funny低）

非常喜欢

= soon

用法举例

The stuff in that store is very

pricey

Average folks can't possibly

afford cars like that

8 eye-opening

是很地道的英文，“让人大开

眼界的”，他的名词eye-

opener在《剑8》P.140也出

现了

上大学英语课时老师可能会告

诉你这个词是“体面的”，但

在国外真实生活里这个词更多

的时候表示的是“不错的，挺

好的”意思=quite good

玩儿。很多时候可以代替

play，注意这个词组后面不能

跟宾语

有点„„，= somewhat

like作为连词在口语中极度常

用，可以表示“比如说”、

“像是„„”、“差不多是”

= because

Trips to other countries can be

reaa-aaaaaaaally eye-opening（本

词原为really，此处系口语用法。本

书中的“sooooooo”也是同一种用法
