习惯用语表达 不太常用到

「加油」的英文要怎麼說

我們最常聽到的就是Go! Go! Go! 還有Come on!
這兩句常能在比賽時聽到,像棒球比賽,當有人快要跑回本壘得分時,隊友會在場邊大喊Go! Go!Go! Go!希望選手能順利奔跑回本壘,而Come on!也有相似的加油效果,兩句都是表示:「加油!快啊!跟上啊!」

Go for it!
是當情勢正好時,譬如說拔河比賽爭奪冠亞軍,你就可以跟他說:Go for it! 意思就是:「加油! 去贏個冠軍回來吧!」或著是朋友想追求男(女)朋友,又猶豫不決時,你也可以跟他說Go for it!就表示「勇敢去追吧!」

Don't give up!
當情勢對他很不利,或者做某件事總是失敗時,你就可以說:Don't give up!就是想告訴他:「加油! 別放棄!」的意思。

Hang in there!
同樣是情勢不好時,譬如說:比完拔河,400接力後,接下來又要比100短跑,他已經面露疲態時,你就能用Hand in there ! 意思就是「加油!要撐住!」

Cheer up!
當同學因為某事而垂頭喪氣時,你可以用Cheer up!來鼓勵他,表示「加油!振作一點!或是高興一點!笑一笑吧!」的意思。

You can do it!
當你想鼓勵他繼續做一件有挑戰的事,你就能用You can do it!「加油!你一定能做到的!」來鼓勵他繼續完成。

Just do it!
想必大家都很熟悉,Nike的廣告詞,和上句類似。當你想鼓勵朋友「加油!別想太多!去做就對了!」就可以用Just do it!來表達。

Let's go! Let's go!
跟Go! Go! Go! 有點像


表达简单的

1. It's really simple. 很簡單。

2. It's a piece of cake. 小事一樁。
a piece of cake 是美國英語中的口語,表示容易之事,輕鬆愉快的事情。比如說:
No sweat. This project will be a piece of cake.
沒問題,這項計劃不費吹灰之力。

3. It's as easy as pie. 真是易如反掌。
as easy as pie 的意思表達和 a piece of cake 很相似。

4. It's no big deal! 沒什麼大不了的!

5. It's a no-brainer! 這很簡單,不用動什麼腦筋的。

no-brainer 就是指無需用腦的事;容易的事情。是一個美國俚語。比如說:
It's a no-brainer solution.
這是一個顯而易見的解決方案。

6. I can do it with my eyes closed! 我眼睛閉起來都能做!

這是略微誇張的表達方式,就比如我們平時嚷嚷的「我用腳趾頭想都知道」效果差不多吧~

7. That's no sweat at all! 那一點都不難!

no sweat 在之前的例句中也碰到過。是一種非常形象的表達方法。做一件事情完全不用出汗,絲毫不費力,豈不是說明這件事情很簡單?

8. Nothing to it! 沒什麼難的!

9. It's a cinch! 簡單的很!

cinch 作為俚語,解釋為簡單的事情,有把握的事情。比如說:
It's a cinch. I'll have the car repaired by Friday.
小事一樁。星期五之前我可以把車修好。

The examination was a cinch.
那可是對我來說是很有把握的事。

10. It's as easy as A, B, C. 太容易了!
= It's as easy as 1, 2 ,3.
ABC指的是(某一方面的)基礎知識,入門。比如說:
The new manager doesn't even know the ABC's of computers.
新經理一點電腦基礎知識都不懂。

補充:
as easy as duck soup 很簡單
as easy as falling/rolling off a log 十分簡單
child's/kid's play 小兒科,很簡單
It is a snap. 很簡單
Just as if it were nothing. 簡單的像什麼事都沒有一樣

3. Leave it as it is
有時候根據語境的不同,還可以用不同的表達方式,

「跳槽」

「跳槽」的英文可以用"Jump ship" 。
ship原意是船,當你要jump ship的時,你會從船的邊緣跳出去,
來離開這稍船。船就代表你工作的公司, jump ship就表示離職或跳槽的意思。
If you jump ship, you leave a job or activity suddenly before it is finished,
especially to go and work for someone else.
例1:Another advertising agency offered him $1000 to jump ship.
例2:When the company announced that it was losing money,
many of its employees jumped ship.

補充:
job-hop也是跳槽的意思
英語中的job-hopping指的就是「跳槽」,hopping的原形是動詞hop,hop的意思是「單腳跳;跳躍」,「在工作之間跳來跳去」也就是「換工作」了。

此外,還有job hunting表示「找工作」,job-hunter指的就是那些被各種筆試和面試弄的焦頭爛額的找工作一族們。

商場如戰場,好的人才各大企業爭相搶著要。人才對一家企業最大的貢獻,
在於其「腦袋」,挖角當然是挖腦袋,因此挖角在英文裡用「head + hunt=headhunt」。
I heard that Bill in your department has been headhunted by many
international companies, including IBM.
