经典美语英语俚语大全
一、俚语的定义
俚语（slang），是一种非习惯用语，是粗俗的或通行面极窄的方言词,用以表达新鲜事物，或对旧事物赋以新的说法。
二、美国俚语的起源及发展
俚语的来源尚不可考，初见於1800年的印刷品，所载为伦敦罪犯们的行话。
俚语多出自价值观念上的冲突，表示敌意或轻蔑；也可出自对本集团内成员的讪笑。
但俚语的流行，则是一种社会力量的推动而非个人所为。
现今俚语的主流，则为主宰美国当今文化主流的上层人士创造的俚语。
而曾经那些被定义为“难登大雅之堂”的美国俚语已频频出现在名报、名著、名人传记中，甚至是美国总统的正式演说中。
因此可以说美国俚语已融入了主流文化的“血液”中。
三、俚语的功能
1．俚语能有效的拉近彼此的距离。
2使用俚语表达委婉语。
bunintheoven。
四、俚语的翻译
onthehouse，
dearJohnletter
Plentyofotherfishinthesea
Skateontheice
Icingonthecake
Bloodytime
