【今日情景】
Jessica 在北京学汉语,她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词,就会来请教她。今天是Jimmy 要问的:爆冷门
Jimmy:Jessica, 昨天看学校的足球比赛了吗?爆了个大冷门儿,法学院居然输给了商学院,哎,这大冷门怎么说啊?
Jessica:冷门?
Jimmy:哦,对啊,就是铁定会输的队,最后居然打赢了。
Jessica: 1
Jimmy:Upset? 那不是不高兴的意思吗?
Jessica:That's true. 做形容词的时候,重音在后面,是 upset (emphasis on the second syllable), 指不高兴,但是做名词,重音在前面,upset (emphasis on the first syllable). 2
Jimmy:哦,我明白了,中文里的爆冷门,在
英文里就是 upset. 那原来大家都以为法学院会赢,这种赛前被看好的球队美语里叫什么?
Jessica: 3
Jimmy:这么说, 4 法学院足球队本来是被看好的热门球队。
Jessica: 5
Jimmy:Underdog. under后面加上dog, underdog 就是在比赛里实力比较差的一方。这么说,我们中文系的排球队,不论跟谁比赛,都是 underdog.
Jessica:Jimmy! 6
Jimmy:唉,别提了... 7
Jessica:hehe.....言归正传, 8
Jimmy:第一,爆冷门叫 upset,重音在前面; 第二,赛前被看好的一方叫 favorite,第三,赛前不被看好的一方叫 underdog.
Jessica:不错,我也学了个词儿--upset 叫作“冷门”。

【HINTS】
Rachel
Oh, in English we call that an upset. It means an unexpected win. Easy. That team is called the favorite. The law school team was the favorite to win the game. That's right. You can also refer to the team that was expected to lose as the underdog. Isn't your girlfriend Rachel the team captain? That's why I always cheer for the underdog. What did you learn today?Jimmy:Jessica, 昨天看学校的足球比赛了吗?爆了个大冷门儿,法学院居然输给了商学院,哎,这大冷门怎么说啊? Jessica:冷门? Jimmy:哦,对啊,就是铁定会输的队,最后居然打赢了。 Jessica:Oh, in English we call that an upset. Jimmy:Upset? 那不是不高兴的意思吗?
