星座英语,左耳进右耳出……?
迦勒底Chaldean(译) 星座网白羊座 Aries
Being confrontational with anyone who is trying to pull your strings or push you in direction that doesn't suit won't work, so you need to take the long route round.
与任何试图控制你或强迫你做事的人对抗并没有效果,所以你需要绕远路解决问题。
▶ pull one's strings:控制/强迫某人做事(尤其是不喜欢做的事情)
注意:pull strings (没有your, his, her, their时),是动用人际关系/地位进行幕后操作以达成目的的意思。pull some/a few strings也是同样的意思,在美式英语中,此处的strings还可以替换成wires。
金牛座 Taurus
Ease up and agree to differ for a while.
放松一点,可以暂时保留不同意见。
▶ agree to differ:保留不同意见
双子座 Gemini
Watch since you will tend to soak in the emotional undercurrents around.
要小心不要陷入自己的情绪漩涡。
▶ soak in the emotional undercurrents:陷入情绪漩涡
巨蟹座 Cancer
What you say may be the truth, but if you ruffle feathers no one will listen.
你说的也许是真理,但是如果你惹怒别人,那就没人愿意听了。
▶ ruffle (sb's/a few) feathers:惹怒(某人)
▶ ruffle:(用手指)弄乱头发,激怒某人,(鸟儿生气/炫耀时)竖起羽毛
狮子座 Leo
Apart from anything else if you shoot ahead companions won't grasp what you're trying to put across.
如果你一个劲儿地说,队友会无法理解你想表达什么。
▶ shoot ahead:向前冲。这里结合语境,意思是自顾自地输出自己的观点,不停地说,完全不管周围人能否跟得上或听得懂。shoot 也有“有话直说”的意思,当你看见对方扭扭捏捏有话说不出,欲言又止的时候,可以对对方说“shoot”。
▶ grasp:抓住,理解。无法“抓住”某个想法,也就是无法理解某个想法的意思。
▶ put across:表达(某种想法)
处女座 Virgo
They tend to fly in one ear and out the other.
它们会飞进你的耳朵,又从另一只耳朵飞出来。
▶ fly in one ear and out the other:左耳进,右耳出
天秤座 Libra
If you attempt too much too quickly or let yourself get scattered, it won't work.
如果你操之过急,企图一下子解决太多事情,或一心多用,那就会一事无成。
▶ get scattered:分心同时做多项任务
天蝎座 Scorpio
Others won't always appreciate the honest truth so tone down your comments.
委婉地表达意见,因为不加修饰的真话未必讨好。
▶ tone down:(使言辞)缓和一点,(使颜色/味道)温和一点
射手座 Sagittarius
You may get ahead of yourself with thoughts flashing through your head so quickly you can't keep track.
你的头脑中可能会涌现一大堆想法,它们一闪而过甚至连你本人都有点跟不上。
▶ get ahead of oneself:为未来可能会发生的某种状况感到过分兴奋,操之过急
魔羯座 Capricorn
You will tend to jump to conclusions and your judgement may not be that great so wait for the dust to settle before committing yourself to major decisions.
在作出重大决策之前需要等待变数尘埃落定,当你的判断力不准确时,切勿轻易下结论。
▶ wait for the dust to settle:等待尘埃落定,事态稳定后再做决定/行动。(类似于我们常说的“让子弹再飞一会儿”。)
水瓶座 Aquarius
Background worries may weight you down for a day or so but you'll shrug them off and be keen to share with loved ones your new plans for reorganising at home.
你内心忧虑的事情可能会让你焦虑个一两天,不过你会暂时把这些烦恼放在一边,与爱人分享你的家庭更新计划。
▶ background worries:类似于“内耗”的概念
▶ weight sb down:使某人焦虑/担忧
▶ for a day or so:一两天(约数概念,一段较短的时间,不是具体的一天或两天)
▶ shrug/pass sth off:忽略某个令人不快/受到冒犯的事情
双鱼座 Pisces
You'll soft pedal for a day and then follow your urge to explore, experiment and be inventive, your curiosity will be sending you in search of fascinating new facts, constantly asking questions.
你会放慢脚步一天,然后你会听从自己的渴望去探索、实验和创新,你的好奇心会让你寻找富有吸引力的新事实,不停地提出问题。
▶ soft pedal:原意是“钢琴弱音踏板”,或“在演奏中使用钢琴弱音踏板”,引申理解为放松一些。
