容易在其他国家产生歧义的雅思词汇盘点

Pants

Be careful who you tell in the U.K. that you have to go pants shopping—across the pond, "pants" means "underwear." When you're talking about jeans and khakis, you should call them "trousers."

在英国，如果你和人家说你要去买“pants”(美式英语中意为“长裤”)，那意思是你要买“内裤”。如果你要买的是牛仔裤或卡其裤，你应该用“trousers”这个词。

Avoid Using In: The U.K., Ireland

避免使用的国家：英国、爱尔兰

Fanny

Own a fanny pack? In most other English-speaking countries, they're called "bum bags" because "fanny" is slang for a part of the female anatomy (and no, we're not talking about the rear end). So don't tell someone to stop being lazy and get off their fanny, either!

你有“fanny pack”(美式英语中意为“腰包”)吗?在大多数英语国家，“腰包”更多地被称作“bum bags”，因为“fanny”是对女性私处的俚语说法(没错，我们说的不是臀部)。所以也千万不要对别人说：别懒了，抬起“fanny”干活吧!

Pissed

In America, we may get "pissed off" when we're angry, but the Brits and Irish who are "pissed" are extremely intoxicated. "Taking the piss," however, means "to make fun of," not "to get drunk."

在美国，我们生气时会说“get pissed off”，但是英国人和爱尔兰人如果说“pissed”，意思是烂醉如泥。不过“taking the piss”意思是“取笑”，而不是“喝醉”。

Avoid Using In: The U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand

避免使用的国家：英国、爱尔兰、澳大利亚、新西兰

Bangs

Prepare for weird looks if you're bragging about your new "bangs" in England. A forehead-covering haircut over there is referred to as a "fringe" instead. Overseas, "bangs" is more commonly used as the somewhat vulgar slang that it is interchangeable with in America.

如果你在英国炫耀自己的新“bangs”(刘海)，恐怕不少人会向你投去怪怪的眼神。在那里“刘海” 被叫做“fringe”而不是“bangs”。在美国以外的地方，“bangs”是一种粗俗的俚语说法。

Avoid Using In: Anywhere outside of North America

避免使用的国家：北美以外的任何国家
