當你很開心告訴你的朋友,你的面試表現得不錯,而他卻回了「You killed it.」令你一陣錯愕?
在這里可不要誤會「killed it」指的是你殺了什麼東西的意思,而是指「你把這件事情干掉了」,而且「干得不錯、表現得很好」,是一種贊揚的用法。
01.You kill it!
You kill it是一句很常見的口語,不是「你殺了它」,它有一正一反兩個意思:
You did a really good job. 干得漂亮!
ruin, destroy the essential quality of something破壞掉某個東西原有的本質。
所以, 具體意思要根據語境來:
-I passed the driving license test. 我通過駕照考試了。 -Wow! It s really hard. You killed it! 哇!那個很難拿。你真棒!-You‘re speech is inspiring. You really killed it!你的演講很鼓舞人心。干得漂亮!
-Oh, man, you really killed the song. 你把那首歌唱毀了。-Too much dates will kill the taste of the soup.放太多紅棗把湯的原味給破壞掉了。
