妙语佳句，活学活用

1. My heinie is dipping.

这句话的意思是“我想大便”。Heinie 在俚语中指“屁股”。

2. You suck!

意思就是“（你们）太烂了！”

说Somebody/Something sucks! 就是说“某人/某事真差劲，糟透了！”有很多情况下可以用到这个词：

a. 昨天晚上你看了一场电影，如果朋友问你："How was the movie? (电影怎么样？)"，你觉得那部片子真是拍得不怎么地，你就可以说："It sucked!"，而且可以特别使劲地，强调一下"sucked"，强烈表示你的不满。

b. 你有朋友今晚要向他心爱的女生表白，如果明天你问起他事情进行得如何，他告诉你他最终还是临阵打了退堂鼓，你可以笑他真是没出息，然后赶紧加一句："You totally sucked!"(你可真没用。)

c. 你们去赶公共汽车，但是刚好错过没赶上，下一班车还要很久才会来，这时候：

A: Guess what? We've just now missed the bus, and the next one won't come for another 45 minutes. 知道吗，我们刚好错过公车了，下一班还要过四十五分钟才会来。

B: That sucks. 真逊！

反正，如果你不喜欢某人或是某事，或是表示很失望，说他/她/它 "suck"就对了！但是要注意时态的用法啊！

3. Preachy

这个词的意思是“爱说教的，爱唠叨的”，如果有人在你耳边喋喋不休，或是总是教你什么该做什么不该做，就可以说他/她是 preachy。

4. Touch on

这个片语的意思是“提起，谈到”，例如：In his lecture he touched on the major aspects of the controversy. 他在讲座中提到争议的主要方面。

5. I beg to differ/disagree

这是一个正式用语，是一种礼貌地表示不同意别人意见的说法，可以翻译为“恕不同意”，比如：I beg to differ with Mr Lee's final assertion. 恕我不能同意李先生的最后断言。
