人生不如意事十之八九,一天中总有那么几次快要抓狂崩溃。“心态崩了”已经成为“高压”生活下人们的调侃口头禅。不过,你知道如何优雅且地道地用英语表达“心态崩了”或是抓狂崩溃吗?
1. I’m losing it. “losing it”是个非常地道且常用的表达,在这里表示 to become deranged ([d'reɪndʒd], adj. 精神错乱的) or mentally disturbed ( [dɪ'stɜːbd], adj. 不安的)。
When Nick asked Juli to leave, she just lost it and began to shout at him.2. I’m going crazy / nuts / bananas. “go crazy” 是大家都能想得到的用法,剩下两个是俚语里比较常见的。
Tomorrow is the math test day, and I haven’t start preparing for it. I think I’ll go nuts. I’ll go bananas if you ask me that question one more time.
3. freak out (使)失去理智。You’d better sit down, cause this news will freak you out.
4. crack(up)身心俱疲、精神把持不住而垮掉。They questioned him for days before he cracked (up).
5. Are you insane? insane [ɪn'seɪn] adj. 疯狂的;精神错乱的。Are you insane? Why do you keep arguing with the boss? You’ll get fired.
