谈谈短语“I couldn't care less”
I couldn't care less. 这句话的意思是 「我不在乎」,「缺乏兴趣」(lack of int
erest),也就是:I don't care at all. 或 I don't give a hoot.
例如:人家如果问: What do you think of the budget-cut?(你对预算削减有何看法
?)
你回答: I couldn't care less.(我毫不在乎)
How do you like Mr. Lee's political point of view?(你喜欢李先生的政见吗?)
I couldn't care less.(我才不在乎呢!)
但是有时说话者也有“口是心非”的时候。 例如:
I couldn't care less about the promotion or pay raise.(我不在乎升级或加薪)
而实际上他是根本在乎升级和加薪的,那么人家也许就会回答说: Yes, you do(care
).
至于 I couldn't care more. 就是「我很在乎」(I care a lot.)或 I care deeply
.
同理:
I couldn't agree more.=I totally agree.(我完全同意)
I couldn't please you more.=I did my best to please you.(我尽量使你高兴)
I couldn't be more right.=I am totally right.
