[英文口語] Get serious. 認真點

Get serious. 認真點

用於要別人別在嘻皮笑臉出餿主意的時候,通常帶有不耐煩的語氣。

情境對話

A: Maybe we can make our own movie. 也許我們可以自己拍電影。
B: Get serious. We don’t have a video camera. 認真點吧。我們沒有攝影機。

還可以這麼說

  • Get real. 看清事實吧。
  • Quit fooling around. 別鬧了。

    fool around有「胡鬧;亂來」的意思。類似的說法還有monkey aroundhorse aroundmess around。另外,附帶一提的是,monkey這個字在很多用語中,都有「分裂;混亂」的意思,例如:monkey business是指「欺詐;令人討厭的事」、throw a monkey wrench into something則是指「阻撓某事」。

  • Come off it. 別胡扯了。 A: I was thinking about applying to Harvard. 我想申請哈佛大學。
    B: Oh, come off it. You had a C average. Harvard won’t accept you. 別胡扯了。你成績平均分丙等。哈佛不會收你的!
