今天說(shuō)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)里最簡(jiǎn)單、也最復(fù)雜的兩個(gè)詞：
“愛”和“恨”，英語(yǔ)的用法和中文很不一樣！
聽Jenny, Adam教你如何使用英語(yǔ)的愛恨情仇>>
音樂：Love is a verb by John Mayer
Love: 愛
Hate: 恨
The use of 'love' and 'hate' in English is completely different from Chinese: 愛、恨在英語(yǔ)里的用法和中文非常不同
It's nowhere near the same: 大相徑庭、完全不同
比如：
如果你聽到'I love you',
你的第一反應(yīng)是？
'So sweet!'
'I love you too!'
但是，美國(guó)人的反應(yīng)是：
Love是一顆炸彈！
大家記得最近節(jié)目放過一首歌'Something stupid'嗎？
歌詞有一句：
Then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like 'I love you'
Why is saying 'I love you' stupid? 說(shuō)“我愛你”怎么會(huì)很傻呢？
Isn't it sweet? 不是很甜蜜嗎？
We call it 'drop the L bomb': 英語(yǔ)有個(gè)說(shuō)法，叫扔L炸彈
Too much too soon: 壓力太大、來(lái)得太快
Americans tend to be very careful when it comes to saying 'I love you': 美國(guó)人對(duì)說(shuō)“我愛你”特別謹(jǐn)慎
但是，日常生活中，美國(guó)人卻常把love掛在嘴邊
比如吃漢堡：
McDonald's slogan 'I'm lovin' it': 麥當(dāng)勞的廣告語(yǔ)“我就喜歡”
口語(yǔ)里，“l(fā)ove”還能怎么用？
－I loved that movie. It was the best! 我太喜歡那部電影了，真好看！
－Did you see the show? 你看那個(gè)節(jié)目了嗎？
－Yes, I totally love it! 看了，太喜歡了！
－How is the food? 菜好吃嗎？
－I love it! Just love it! 好吃！我太喜歡了！
上面這些日常情況，中文基本都會(huì)用“喜歡”表達(dá)情緒；
可是英語(yǔ)卻要用“love'.
如果用“I like it', 反而容易造成誤解！
Why？為什么？
'I like it' or 'I like it very much' doesn't sound very sincere or enthusiastic: 我喜歡、我非常喜歡在英語(yǔ)里聽起來(lái)反而有點(diǎn)不真誠(chéng)、沒什么熱情
總之：
表達(dá)你非常喜歡一個(gè)事物，大家記得用love！
家人之間的love
'Love' is also used a lot between family members, parents and kids: love在親人、父母、孩子之間也很常用
I don't think I've ever said '我愛你' to my parents: 我好像從來(lái)沒對(duì)我父母說(shuō)過“我愛你”
It feels so awkward. I don't know how to say it: 感覺很尷尬，不知怎么開口
My parents don't really say it to me either: 我爸爸媽媽好像也不會(huì)跟我說(shuō)
But I say 'mommy loves you' to my sons all the time: 但是，我倒常用英語(yǔ)跟孩子說(shuō)“mommy loves you'
I don't really say it in Chinese though, feels really awkward: 但是我不太用中文跟他們說(shuō)“媽媽愛你”，也覺得很尷尬
Maybe when it's not your mother tongue, it's easier to say: 有可能不是自己的母語(yǔ)，反而更容易說(shuō)
不過有些美國(guó)人也覺得對(duì)家人說(shuō)'I love you'有點(diǎn)兒別扭
WASPs don't say it as much: 英國(guó)血統(tǒng)的美國(guó)人好像沒那么常說(shuō)“I love you'
WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant): 新教徒的盎格魯撒克遜裔美國(guó)人
They are more reserved: 他們比較含蓄
Sons don't say 'I love you' as much as daughters: 還有兒子，也不像女兒那么愿意對(duì)父母說(shuō)'I love you'
Girls, even grown-up girls say it all the time to their parents: 女兒，就算是成年了，也常跟父母說(shuō)“I love you'
說(shuō)完love, 說(shuō)hate
中文“恨”是個(gè)特別強(qiáng)烈的字，日常很少用。
但是英語(yǔ)的hate口語(yǔ)卻很常用。
基本，剛才所有用love的例子，也可以很自然地用hate。
比如：
－I hated that movie. It was so bad. 那部電影太難看了，我一點(diǎn)兒都不喜歡。
－It has been raining non-stop. I hate this weather! 天天下雨，天氣太討厭了！
－Traffic is so bad. I hate it! 路真堵，煩死了！
所以，hate在口語(yǔ)里，更多是“討厭”的意思，而不是恨。
To hate a person?
用在人身上呢？
Be careful with using 'hate' on people: 用在人身上，要特別謹(jǐn)慎
You can use it jokingly with your friends: 也許跟很好的朋友，可以用調(diào)侃的語(yǔ)氣
比如：
A: My husband is taking me on a trip to Italy! 我老公要帶我去意大利玩兒
B: Oh, I hate you! 哦，我恨你！羨慕、嫉妒、恨
But in general, hate is a very strong word if you use it on people: 不過總的來(lái)說(shuō)，hate用在人身上，語(yǔ)氣是很強(qiáng)的
之前說(shuō)到hate在口語(yǔ)里有“討厭”的意思，
那“真討厭！”英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)？
I hate it when you ...: 英語(yǔ)通常會(huì)說(shuō)那個(gè)具體的行為
But it's still pretty direct and strong: 不過語(yǔ)氣還是挺直接、強(qiáng)烈的
When a Chinese girl says '你真討厭'，it's mostly being coquettish: 中國(guó)女生說(shuō)“你真討厭”，經(jīng)常是在撒嬌
Cutesy: 嗲、撒嬌
A love hate relationship | 愛恨交織
A love hate relationship with someone or something: 又愛又恨、愛恨交加的關(guān)系
怎么用？
－I have a love hate relationship with my phone: 我對(duì)手機(jī)真是又愛又恨
－A love hate relationship with your work/your boss: 對(duì)于自己的工作、對(duì)于自己的老板，大概也有些愛恨交織的情緒
－Many foreigners have a love hate relationship with China: 很多外國(guó)人，對(duì)中國(guó)也是愛恨交織
＊大家注意不是A love and hate relationship;
而是A love hate relationship＊
Love hate的另一個(gè)高段位用法
Love to hate: 又愛又恨、欲罷不能
Especially true with celebrities: 大眾看明星，經(jīng)常都有這種情緒
Kim Kardashian is someone many Americans love to hate: 比如卡戴珊，美國(guó)人就是love to hate
They hate her for being so high-profile, but they love to read news about her: 很多人討厭她高調(diào)、作秀，但同時(shí)又特別愛看她的八卦新聞
They can't get enough of her: 欲罷不能
Is there a Chinese celebrity who people love to hate? 中國(guó)有這樣的明星嗎？
