30%的中国英语学习者分不清的基佬(Gay)和伙计(Guy) @DDM大王
Greetings!这是来自沪江史上最长口语课老师的激情广播。DDM先生年轻的时候居住在英国,熟悉英语和英语文化,对发音,表达方式和各地口音有着较深的造诣。悄悄说一句,他也是设计师,抖抖猫表情包的设计师就是这位DDM先生~This ought to be a shock to everybody,that 30% of Chinese English learner are confused with the word Guy and Gay.That’s right. They can’t distinguish these two.可能很多人会惊讶30%的中国学英语的孩子分不清Guy和Gay两个单词是的!他们居然分不开这两词。Sometimes people leave comments in my class or this Wechat Blog, saying that DDM sensei, you are guy. You are very guy.First I thought, wow, they are complimenting my manhood. I am probably a very manly man.Then I thought, wait, I didn’t do anything manly in class, but I did tell awful lot of gay jokes. Oh,shit. They saying I am Gay?很多朋友留言在我的微信公众号或者课上“DDM老师,你是汉子(Guy),你真汉子(Guy)”一开始我看到时觉得哇,他们在赞美我的雄性风采我是条真汉子然后我转念一想等等我在课上从来没有表现过任何体现汉子的事情不过我经常调侃同性恋(Gay)我去他们难道说我Gay吗!?And later I found out that the pupils who mix up these 2 words are not a few.What a dangerous thing I thought.So tonight we are going to make this really clear. Guy means boys, fellow, buddies, bros.Gay means homosexuals, queers, butt buddies.之后我发现搞混这两个的孩子不占少数这不是挺可怕的吗?所以今晚我们一定来搞清楚这两个单词:Guy的意思是男的,伙计,朋友,兄弟Gay的意思是同性恋,基佬,屁股兄弟When you go to a business conference, or go into your office, if you say” Morning, Gays!” Wow, what a homophobic, people would think. Or maybe they might think you are coming out, and even compliment you using words like glowing, radiant, or even dazzle. (FYI those are the proper adjectives to compliment a gay person, I’ve been told.)如果你开商务会议或者走进办公室你说“早上好,Gay!”同事一定会想“哇,这家伙是在搞同性恋歧视吗”或者他们会以为你“出柜”了甚至对你使用靓丽,刺眼,炫目等形容词来赞美你(听说这些是赞美同性恋最好的形容词)If you mess up with these 2, He is a good Guy would become He is a good Gay. Guy Ritchie would be Gay Ritchie. Gay marriage would be Guy marriage.Well this last one probably works.如果你搞错这两个词“他是个好兄弟”会变成“他是个好基佬”Guy Ritchie(麦当娜的前任老公)会变成“基佬Ritchie”“同性恋合法婚姻”(美国2015年6月合法化)会变成“兄弟结婚”好吧最后一个还有点道理=_=So, let’s get this straight, once and forall.Guys are Boys.Gays are Boys who love other boys. 我们今天就一劳永逸的记住Guy=男孩Gay=喜欢男孩的男孩So never make the same mistake ever again,and Share this post to your friends so that they don’t confuse any more.And most importantly, Don’t call DDM sensei gay.所以下次千万别再搞错这两个词咯把我们这篇分享给小伙伴们让他们也别再犯错啦最重要的别再留言叫DDM老师Gay!这期广播真是百听不厌,尤其是莫名暧昧的背景音真是符合DDM的一贯风格。。啊。。本音频来源于DDM先生的微信公众号:抖抖英语村,这个公众号会发布一些好听的、恶搞的、励志的英语广播。喜欢他的声音,就关注它!搜索languagetown也ok~
