听到Are you game?脑子里起首反响的必定是:你是游戏?那意思有点云里雾里让人摸不到思维。其实那是一句十分十分日常的英语白话,game除了“游戏,运动,角逐”之外,还能够做描述词表达“情愿测验考试的,有冒险精神的”, 对方想晓得你能否情愿测验考试,挑战一些工作,能否有兴致做一些趣事或者差别通俗的事。

所以那句话其实是问:你想试一下吗?

好比:

He's game for anything.

任何工作他都情愿测验考试。

Are you game for a six- mile trudge, Tom?

Tom,你敢来个六英里的跋涉吗?

It is a difficult challenge, are you game?

那是个难度很高的挑战,你情愿试一下吗?

拓展:

1.除了Are you game?之外,还有良多体例能够表达同样的意思:

Do you want to try? 你想要测验考试一下吗?

Do you want to play? 你想要玩不?

Are you up to the challenge? 你要不要来挑战看看?

Are you willing to give this a go? 你要不要尝尝啊?

Are you up for it? Do you dare to do it? 你预备好了吗?你敢做吗?

其实总结起来,就一句话:你来不来?做不做?敢不敢做?

上面的那些每一个都值得多读几遍曲到脱口而出。

2.他人问你Are you game?你感兴致的话怎么答复?

I am game.意思是:我情愿;我愿意;附和

等同于“I'd like to”,也是地道的白话

—I want to go shopping tonight. Would you like to go with me?

今晚我想往逛街,要一路往吗?

— Yes, I am game.

好啊,我也想往。

—Who’s game to have a try?

谁情愿试一试?

—Okay. I’m game!

好吧,我情愿尝尝!

—How about a coffee later?

一会儿往饮杯咖啡怎么样?

—I'm game!

很愿意!

还有一个类似的表达:I'm up for that.

be up for 情愿;附和

—Shall we hit the gym after work?

下班后往健身房怎么样?

—I'm up for that.

我附和。

3.What's your game是什么意思?

意思是:你在玩什么魔术?你在搞什么名堂?

He saw me climbing over the wall and shouted "Hey you, what's your game?"

看到我翻墙,他高声喊道:“哎,你在搞什么名堂?”

4.give the game away是什么意思?

意思是:泄露奥秘;出漏洞

Her accent gives the game away.

她的美式口音让本身露了马脚。

The key words have been omitted because they would give the game away.

关键的词已经删往,因为它们会泄露奥秘的。

5.play the game是什么意思?

那句话是指适应某事的端方或安放,

遵守规则;按章处事

To do well in this business, you have to play the game.

要想在那一行做得好,你得适应它的端方。
