Hello, 大家好，Jenny 老师又和大家见面了，本周为大家带来的是美剧中给力的口语表达。

很多人看美剧是看个热闹，殊不知剧中自有“言”如玉。很多地道的表达是能够给考试助力的，比如在剑11真题中有这样一个话题举例：

Tell me about your best friend at school.

来看Jenny老师如何用美剧思维征服考官：

My best friend at school was XXX. We were just like beans and carrots. We shared our girlie secrets and gossiped about those it girls in school. And she helped me a lot with my school work. But one day she mysteriously disappeared without saying goodbye to me. Rumor had it that she disappeared for a boarding school. But just as suddenly, she came back half a year later. Bag in hand, at my door step, there was my best friend. Lucky for me, she cherished our friendship as much as I do.

这段表达其实是美剧<Gossip Girl>第一季第一集的独白改装而来, 当年大热的时尚剧<Gossip Girl>，是很多女生的时尚启蒙剧，可是如果只看到fashion或者其中复杂的恋爱图谱，而忽视了其语言的精妙，那就太可惜了。不服气？来挑战一下绯闻女孩这一集的独白：

“各位富贵闲人，绯闻女孩驾到。我有史上最劲爆新闻跟你们共享。我的一个线人 Melanie 91... 发来了这个：在中央车站，拎着包的Serena Van der Woodsen。不就是一年前，这位风云人物神秘消失，转到"寄宿学校"就读?而突然之间，她又回来了。不相信吗?眼见为实。幸运的是，Melanie91发来了证据。多谢了，Mel。”

怎么样？对比下原文，有没有觉得自己的英语思维是24K纯中文……来看看自己和 native speaker 到底相隔了多少集美剧的距离吧！

Gossip girl: Hey, upper east siders, gossip girl here, and I have the biggest news ever. One of my sources Melanie91... Sends us this... Spottedat grand central, bags in hand, Serena van Der Woodsen. Was it only a year ago our " it " girl mysteriously disappeared for " boarding school "? And just as suddenly, she’s back. Don't believe me? Lucky for us, Melanie91 sent proof. Thanks for the photo, Mel.

原来线人可以用“source”来表达，而我们平时学习的“source”不就是“源头、本源”的意思么，没有足够积累的情况下，怎么可能脱口而出呢。举一反三，来看一下 an informed source表示知情人士，这样的词汇和表达一出口，一定会收到一地的下巴。

恰恰是这种简单的词在口语表达中能够体现出我们的口语地道与否，这与雅思考试的评分标准之一Lexical Resource（词汇的运用）是不谋而合的，这一项就是在考察考生词汇的运用，大家不要误解为单纯的词汇量考核，于是备考的时候大量准备长难生僻单词，结果考试的时候一紧张，导致“大词忘记，小词不会用”，白白浪费了考试机会。再比如这段话当中对大女主S的描述： “it girl”,“mysteriously disappear” 等等，都可以移花接木到我们描述的跟人有关的话题中，甚至可以整段改装，就像今天的文章开头我给出的那样。

那么，要想驾轻就熟地移花接木，就得平时多下功夫多积累了。

本期的美句解就到这里，跟着美剧姐，赏好剧，品好句，每周一更哦！
