常用英式俚語盤點
英國人使用很多俚語，尤其朋友之間。其中很多詞其他的英語國家也說，但有些是不列顛群島特有的。為了幫你"cotton on"(俚語，理解)，以下提供一些在英國常能聽到的詞匯。
【打招呼、感謝】
Alright? – Hello. How are you? 你好
Hiya, Aye up – These informal greetings both mean Hello and are especially popular in the north of England. The aye is pronounced like the letter A。這兩種非正式的打招呼用法，都是"你好"的意思，在英格蘭北部非常流行。其中"aye"發(fā)音與字母"A"同。
Howay – Let's go or Come on. 走吧
Ta – Thank you 謝謝
Cheers – This is usually said as a toast when you raise your glasses to celebrate, but it also means Thank you。這個詞通常在舉杯祝酒的時候說，但也可以表示謝謝。

Lad – Boy 男孩
Lass, Lassie – Girl 女孩
Bloke, Chap – Man 男人
Mate, Pal – Friend 朋友、伙計
Our kid – My brother or my sister 我的兄弟或姐妹
Don't be confused if someone calls you pet, duck, sweetie, love, chicken, chuck, chucky-egg or sunshine. People in the UK often use these terms when they are addressing other people as a sign of friendliness and affection. It is usually not appropriatefor younger people to use these terms with older people, however。如果有人叫你pet、duck、sweetie、love、chicken、chuck、chucky-egg或sunshine，不要覺得奇怪，英國人喜歡用這些昵稱來表達友好和喜愛之情。不過年輕人這樣稱呼長輩就有些不妥。

Cuppa – Cup of tea 一杯茶
Pissed – Americans may think this means upset. But in the UK it is the equivalent of being drunk。美國人可能認為這個詞表示心煩不高興，但在英國這個詞是喝醉了的意思。

【強調(diào)、感嘆】
Bloody – One of the most useful swear words in British English. Mostly used as an exclamation of surprise e.g. "bloody hell".Something may be "bloody marvelous" or "bloody awful". It is also used to emphasize almost anything, e.g. "you're bloody mad", "not bloody likely"。英國英語里最有用的臟話。多用于表達驚訝之情，如bloody hell(該死、見鬼、我的天)。某事物可以是bloody marvelous(超贊的)，也可以是bloody awful(糟糕透了)。它還以用來強調(diào)幾乎任何事情，如you're bloody mad(你簡直瘋了)、not bloody likely(沒門兒)。
In the UK, you may hear people use the slang terms "well", "dead" or "mega" instead of "very" or "really". For example, "It was dead good" or "That exam was well difficult!" 在英國，你可能會聽見人們使用俚語用法的well、dead、mega來代替very或者really。如It was dead good(棒極了)，或That exam was well difficult。(考試好難。)
