书本上学不到的英国俚语（通讯员稿）

[ 2007-02-26 10:48 ]

是不是觉得自己已经能够说一口流利的英语了呢？是不是觉得"老外"们的话还是听不太懂呢？是不是觉得他们的话里"俚语"太多了呢？俚语又究竟是个什么东东？Slang is informal language and has a shorter "life-span" than other English words. Nevertheless, you will find all of these words in a good monolingual dictionary and slang is a common part of daily life to most native speakers.
