英语口语:如何用英语称赞别人“牛”

Donny: FF, I heard you went to a ballroom dance competition yesterday. How did it go?

FF: 我进决赛啦！怎么样，牛吧？

Donny: 牛？A cow?

FF: 不是，“牛”就是特别厉害，very good!

Donny: I got it. In English, we use the word "awesome", a-w-e-s-o-m-e, awesome.

FF: 哦，awesome就是说特牛。

Donny: You can also use the word "ballin". b-a-l-l-i-n, ballin. It also means "cool or very good".

FF: 哦，Ballin也是“很牛”的意思。Donny, 那天的跳舞比赛上还真有不少高手。在这种情况下，我可以跟他们说，“You're awesome!”或者“You're ballin!”对么？

Donny: That's right. You can also say "you rule" or "you rock!"

FF: rule, r-u-l-e, rule; rock, r-o-c-k, rock, 这两个词也可以形容某人或某事很牛，不过它们都是动词，对不对？

Donny: Exactly! For example, 如果你看了一场特别牛的`演唱会，you can say "it rocks!" or "it rules!"

FF: 明白了。不过那天也有一些人在比赛前一副不可一世的样子，可真跳起来，也不怎么样，真不知道他们有什么好牛的！对了，形容这些人，也用awesome或是ballin么？

Donny: No! You can use "cocky" c-o-c-k-y, cocky， to describe these kind of people.

FF: 哦，说一个人牛气哄哄的，就是cocky.

Donny: Now, FF, If you can tell me what you've learned today, I'd say your English很牛！

FF: 好！第一，说人或事很牛，用形容词awesome或ballin；

第二，说人或事很牛，还可以用动词rule或者rock；

第三，形容某人傲慢，牛气哄哄，可以用cocky!
