Hi everybody, this is Nick, welcome to teaching series "Nick's everyday texts with his American friends". 大家好,我是Nick. 欢迎来到“Nick和美国朋友的短信日常“. So, in this series, I will teach you guys some authentic phrases and slang by showing and explaining my texts with American people. 那通过讲解我本人,和美国朋友之间发的短信,来达到学习地道英文的效果。短信图片在微博,你也可以关注微博@Nick美语天天说,还有微信公众号“铅笔英语”来获取更多免费内容
今天的短信非常简单,我来给大家讲解一个单词,生病的时候可能用得上。还有一个缩写。短信的背景是说,我朋友生病了,呕了很多次。有个人特别特别关心她,而且说自己也是呕了很多次。所以她说how concerning,说那个人很关心她。
1. contagion 就是传染。我的意思是说,她呕吐(throw up)了很多次,可能是有个virus,感染了病毒。然后她朋友可能是互相传染的,所以也呕了。
2. ikr就是i know right?的缩写,一般表示同意。翻译的话看语境,比如"I think nick's classes are sooo good!!" "IKR?!" “我觉得Nick的课程超级好”,”可不是嘛?!”
alright, so this is pretty much it for this time, I'll see you guys next time, bye
