英国留学生不得不知道的常见俚语
说起英语中的俚语，真心让我们这些英语非母语的人头疼。上学的时候，英语老师教过我们一句俚语：raining cats anddogs。如果不懂这句话意思的小伙伴，听到有人说“It's raining cats and dogs outthere”，肯定第一件事就是拿起手机拍照吧——天上下猫和狗啦!但是，这句话的真正含义是：外面的雨很大。据说是因为17世纪的时候，英国有些城市雨太大了，街道都淹了，导致很多猫猫和狗狗都淹死了而浮在被水淹没的街道上。虽然这是一个悲伤的俚语，但是也说明学会一些俚语以后，不仅会让你的英语更地道，还能了解好多故事呢。今天我爱学习网来给大家安利一些英国人才懂的俚语，大家偶尔甩几个出来肯定惊艳全场。

如果大家平时看英剧很多的话，可能早就发现英国人真的很爱用俚语。很多人说，英式英语中这么多俚语主要是因为英国人很喜欢讽刺，而且直接说脏话有辱绅士作风，所以创造了这么多俚语。毕竟这些俚语听起来就觉得：SoBritish!最后给大家推荐一个学习现代俚语的好网站，相信很多小伙伴都知道，就是Urban Dictionary。UrbanDictionary中文译名为“城市词典”，是一个美国在线俚语词典，该词典收录了很多常规词典里面查不到的流行英文俚语俗语。
