Day 12 sick除了表示“恶心”,还有更酷炫的意思吗?

A: Hey,dude,have you seen that movie Green Book?

D: Ya,man,that was sick!

A: Why did the movie make you sick? I think it was awesome!

D: Dude,me too. Sick means awesome!

A: Oh,then I could say my Prada shoes are sick.

D: Shut up! You're always showing off.

All right,听完今天的对话之后,我们要来学习sick在口语当中的用法。It's very very useful!

OK. So it's important to know that “sick” does still mean “ill”,to have a cold,to have a flu. You can say:Ugh,I'm very sick.

But now“sick” also has another meaning. Right now it means “awesome”. You can say:That movie was so sick. You could also say:That party last night was so sick.

So right now “sick” has two meanings.

在我们最开始学习英语的时候,大家都知道sick这个词表示的是“生病的”。比如说“我生病了”,“I'm sick.”。

在口语中,我们也可以用sick来代替awesome,让你听起来更加地道。比如说:The party last night was sick!昨天晚上的party太棒了

OK. It's time for today's bonus. Remember when I said“sick” had two meanings. Actually I lied. “Sick” has three meanings!

The other meaning is the same as “disgusting” or “gross”. For example,if I see a cockroach on the ground,I can say:Ewww,sick! Or,for example,when I'm eating hotpot,if someone ordered duck blood,I can say:I don't wanna eat that. That's sick!

sick在口语当中还有第三个意思,就是“恶心的”。比如,大白说如果他吃火锅的时候看到了鸭血,就会觉得it's sick,好恶心。
