英语中“俚语、行话、谚语、习语”的区别
2017-05-29 23:00阅读：
常见的英语表达一般有俚语（slang）、行话（jargon）、习语（idiom）、以及谚语格言（proverb），
你能分清吗？
1 Slang（俚语)
解释
所谓俚语，指的是民间非正式、同时较口语化的语句。就是方言嘛, 某个地域的人才熟悉。
示例
emo - very emotional（非常情绪化)
Don't be so emo. Your boyfriend will be back next week.
frenemy - someone you think is your friend,
but your know is really your enemy（某些看上去是朋友，但你知道其实是“敌人”的人)
Has your frenemy got you worried?!
groovy - very nice in a
mellow(醇香的，柔和丰富的，老练的) sort of way .60年代的一句俚语
Groovy man.
2 JARGON(行话)
解释
Jargon(行业术语，黑话)就是某个行业或职业的特殊表达,这个行业的人都知道，不分地域。
示例
cookies - used by programmers to track
information on a user's computer that has accessed the
internet
We set a cookie when you first access our site.
IT程序员都知道
Birdie(低于标准杆的一击) - used by golfers to state
that the golf ball was put into the hole with
one less golf stroke than expected on a hole
Tim got two birdies on the back nine at the golf course.
chest voice - used by singers to indicate a
style of singing that has chest resonance(共振，共鸣）
Don't push so hard with your chest voice. You'll hurt your
voice!
3
IDIOM（成语，习语)
解释
Idioms可以说是我们的成语，一般从字面根本看不出它原来想表达的真正意思。
和俚语不同，Idiom是被所有人都理解，而不是方言。所以我们要先重点学Idioms.
示例
rain cats and dogs - rain very
heavily
It's raining cats and dogs tonight.
pick a language up - learn a language by
living in a country
Kevin picked up a little Italian when he lived in Rome.
break a leg - do well at a performance or presentation
Break a leg on your presentation John.
4 PROVERB（谚语）
解释
上面所说的俚语，行话，习语是指短语或词语，而谚语或格言通常意义上仅仅指完整的句子。
示例
The early bird gets the worm. - start
working early and you will be successful
I get up at five and do two hours of work before I go to the
office. The early bird gets the worm!
When in Rome, do as the Romans. - when you
are in a foreign culture, you should act like the people in that
culture
I'm wearing shorts to work here in Bermuda! When in Rome, do as the
Romans.
You can't always get what you want. - This
proverb means what is says, you can't always get what you want. The
Rolling Stones knew how to put that to music!
Stop complaining. You can't always get what you want. Learn to live
with that truth!
小编有话说：就好比我们日常生活中有普通话也有方言，英文当中也是一样的，虽然并不是要求我们样样都精通，毕竟语言这门学问也是需要我们慢慢摸索的，但是只有弄清了他们的区别，才能真正做到在什么场合说什么话。语言路漫漫，来和我们一起学英语吧。
