【口语积累】

1. 崇洋媚外 worship Western culture and fawn on foreigners

这里“崇洋”的“崇”就可以用worship来表示，“崇拜”的意思，而这里的“外”其实一般来说指的就是“西方”，所以用Western culture可以更准确地表达。也可以说have blind faith in Western culture，blind faith指的是“迷信，盲目相信”。而这里“媚”指的是“谄媚”，也就是逢迎讨好，可以用flatter，fawn on等词来表示。一般我们说“崇洋媚外”还包含了贬低自己文化的含义，所以后面还可以补充一点：despise one's own culture.

Many people worship all things foreign, those people are exceptionally friendly towards foreigners.

很多人崇洋媚外，对外国人格外热情。

Some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while treating our own possessions with contempt.

有些人就是崇洋媚外。

Many people fawn on him only because of his wealth.

许多人奉承他就因为他有钱。

I knew she was just flattering me.

我知道她只是在奉承我。

Don't flatter yourself.

别自以为是了。

2. 舔狗 brown noser

“舔狗”其实就是比较极端的“奉承者”，英语中可以用brown noser来表达，为什么是“褐色的鼻子”呢？大家可以结合词义自行脑补……比brown noser听上去更文明一些的说法是bootlicker，“舔鞋子的人”，阿谀奉承的意思表达也非常到位。如果专门指男性对女性的过度讨好，可以simp来表示。

He's such a brown-noser.

他真是个马屁精。

The rest of the class were sick of watching him brown-nose.

班上其他人都很厌恶他拍马屁。

He got the promotion just because he was a bootlicker to the higher-ups.

他升职不过是因为拍了上司马屁。

You’re being such a simp!

你这也太舔狗了吧！

3. 区别对待 differentiate between

differentiate这里是一个动词，表示“区别对待，尤指不公平地对待”，“区别对待A和B”就可以说differentiate between A and B。跟differentiate比较类似的词是discriminate，可以说discriminate against sb或discriminate in favor of sb。还可以用treat unfairly。如果要表达某人“受到了不公正对待”，可以说receive a raw deal，

The company differentiates between employees on the basis of gender.

这家公司区别对待男性和女性。

They believe the law discriminates against women.

他们认为法律歧视女性（对女性不公）。

He felt he had gotten a raw deal but didn’t complain.

他感觉自己被不公正对待了，但他没有抱怨。

I was treated unfairly at work.

我在工作中受到了不公正对待。

4. 愤怒 see red

很多网友看了视频之后都很愤怒，在第215期中，我们学过各种“愤怒”的表达，同学可以复习下。这里再给大家补充几个“愤怒”的说法：

enraged，非常愤怒或愤慨，通常伴随着情绪失控或暴力的倾向；

fly off the handle，情绪爆发到不可控制的状态；
