1 whoa

wō, hō, hwō

whoa 是西部牛仔經(jīng)常說的話嗎?沒錯(cuò)，Cowboys say "whoa" when they want their horses to slow down. 當(dāng)牛仔說whoa后，他們的馬就會(huì)慢下來。所以whoa的第一個(gè)意思就是：a command to stop 嘿，慢點(diǎn)。

例句：Whoa, don’t put so much detergent into the washing machine! 慢點(diǎn)，別往洗衣機(jī)里倒太多的洗衣粉!

Whoa還有另一層意思：an expression of surprise 表示驚奇。

例句：Whoa! You’re scaring me. 啊!你嚇到我了。

2 gee

jē

Gee 可以使你說的話帶有遺憾、驚奇的色彩。

"Gee..." is an interjection that shows surprise, wonder, or uncertainty. Sometimes when people say "Gee..." (in a long, drawn out fashion) they are just pretending that they are surprised. Gee放在句子里，可以表示驚奇或是懷疑?？梢峭祥L(zhǎng)了調(diào)，說geeeeee，就表示說話的人在假裝驚奇。

例句：His car broke down? Geeeeee... that’s too bad! I was really looking forward to Professor Johnson’s class! 約翰遜教授的車壞了嗎?(假驚奇)啊，太糟糕了，我是多么想聽他的課啊!

3 duh

usually with prolonged

When someone says something that you think is very obvious, or asks you a stupid question, you can say "duh". 直白來說，duh就是“廢話”的意思。

例句：Duh! The lights are on and there are people inside. 廢話!燈開著，屋里當(dāng)然有人了。

4 Oh, Boy

"Oh, Boy!" is a common American expression that really has nothing to do with boys at all. 不必問美國(guó)人為什么不說 "Oh, girl" 或者別的，因?yàn)檫@么用就是一種習(xí)慣，大家都不知道原因。

Oh boy可表示高興和興奮的情緒。

例句：Oh, Boy! Look at that. There is someone selling cotton candy. I love cotton candy. 太好了!看那里。有人在賣棉花糖。我喜歡吃棉花糖。

Oh boy既可以指讓人高興的事，也可以指you are concerned or dismayed about something 讓人擔(dān)心的事，這完全取決于說話的語氣。

例句：A: Guess what? We first got a flat tire, and now my cell phone is dead. 你猜怎么了? 先是我們的車胎爆了，而后我的手機(jī)又沒電了。B: Oh, boy! 唉!

5 oh well

"Oh well" is use to show mild regret. We also use it to tease people or pretend that you are upset. Oh well就是表示有點(diǎn)遺憾，或者是以玩笑的口吻假裝不安的情緒。

例句：Did you hear, the football team won’t make the playoffs this year. Oh well, that’s too bad. 聽說了嗎，足球隊(duì)今年不能參加決賽。唉，有點(diǎn)糟糕。

例句：You’re not going to give me any chips? (teasing) Oh well, I guess I won’t be able to give you a ride home. 你不給我薯片?(開玩笑)唉，那我只好不讓你打車了。
