  朋友圈最近过生日的伙伴真不少,这期呢就一起聊聊生日词汇,刚好9-12月的口语题库中也有相关话题,一起来学习吧!

  1.spice /spaɪs/

  spice 本意为: 佐料,调料。

  e.g. A large range of herbs and spices are used in Sichuan cuisine.

  那么add spice to life 即给生活加点… 调料吗??

  应该是情趣或者趣味。

  如口语话题:Do you think it is important to celebrate your birthday?

  Of course! Life can be repetitive /dull sometimes, and a birthday get-together can add a little spice.

  注:get-together 聚会

  spice 也可以直接做动词用:I need a birthday party to spice it up a little bit.

  当然也可以用:a sense of ceremony/ ritual 仪式感!

  2. frivolous /'frɪv(ə)ləs/

  adj.无聊的;无用的;浪费的;

  也是很多人不喜欢生日的原因,尤其是长大以后,Adult birthdays are never as good as childhood birthdays. It is repetitive, frivolous, and pricey!

  3. novelty /'nɒv(ə)ltɪ/

  novelty 词根nov= new

  novel除了小说还可以作为形容词:新奇的,

  a novel idea.

  novelty作为名词:新奇;新颖 / 新奇事物

  e.g. The novelty of the new job soon wore off, and he became bored with it. 工作的新鲜感很快就过了,他开始厌倦。

  e.g. Hybrid cars are still a novelty on this remote island. 油电混合车还是个新奇事物呢。

  另外新的含义:

  n. a small and unusual decoration or toy 小饰物;小玩具.

  比如生日收到的一些新奇小玩意:

  garage kit 手办/ figurine小塑像 / model模型等。

  或者一些小饰品如: accessory, trinket, ornament

  4. blast /blɑːst/

  n. 爆炸;

  e.g. The bomb blast killed eight people.

  或者可以表示一股很强劲的,风,水流等

  a blast of heat/ wind/ cold air 一股热浪/ 强风/冷空气。

  但是在生日聚会中如果说 have a blast,意为have fun!

  e.g. You should have come with us last night - we had a real blast!

  e.g. The party was a blast. (blast:狂欢;愉快的经历)

  5. 最后我们学习两个习语:

  (1) paint the town red狂欢;痛饮作乐;

  Let’s go out and paint the town red!

  (2) give somebody the royal treatment 皇室般的待遇,比如在某底捞过生日hhh
