henchman
【贬义】帮派成员,帮凶,打手,走狗,党羽
Henchman 基本给两类人工作:
politician 政客,政治家,政治人物
gangster 黑帮,流氓,歹徒,匪徒
一个政客和他的党羽
a politician and his henchmen
一个黑帮大佬和他的打手
a gangster and his henchmen
Henchman 的单复数变形和man一样,单数 henchman,是复数是 henchmen。
Henchman 来源古英语,由“种马+人(horse + man)”人,原指是马夫,照顾马匹的人。现在 henchman 没有“马夫”的意思了。
groom 马夫,新郎,男仆,年轻男子,王室侍从官
Henchman 随着时间的演变,衍生出“值得信赖的追随者,得力助手,帮派成员”的意思。
在007小说和电影里有很多henchmen,让人最印象深刻的《007之金手指》里的Oddjob,他戴着一顶黑色的礼帽,是个武器,也可以说是一个gadget。
顺便说一下,演Oddjob的演员(Harold Sakata)在20几岁时还参加1948年的伦敦奥运会,夺得一枚举重银牌,所以他也是Olympic medal winner(奥运会奖牌获得者)。
Henchman 不光指男人,007里面也有多女打手,也叫 henchman。

stuff,whenever,wherever,whoever,whatever,whichever,however
我们来看两个对话,比较一下:
对话①
家长和 teenage daughter(青春期的女儿)说:
You spend too long on the phone.
你在电话上用的时间太长了。
女儿说:
Whatever.
无所谓。
* 这个回答非常不礼貌,意思是 I don't care. 我不在乎。
A: You spend too long on the phone.
B: Whatever.
A: 你在电话上用的时间太长了。
B: 无所谓。
对话②
A和B是朋友,约好要去另一个朋友Jane(简)的家里见面,A和B说:
We're meeting around seven at Jane's place.
我们7点左右在简的家见面。
at Jane's place 在简的家
place (日常用法)家
B说:
No, it's at six thirty.
不是,是6点半。
A听了B说的之后,就说:
Well, whenever.
嗯,几点都行。
* 因为A和B是朋友关系,可以使用随意一些的表达。A回答 Whenever. 意思是ta不在意到底是6点半还是7点去。
A: We're meeting around seven at Jane's place.
B: No, it's at six thirty.
A: Well, whenever.
A: 我们7点左右在简的家见面。
B: 不是,是6点半。
A: 嗯,几点都行。

等等,等,以及其他
and so on [正式,书面]
and so forth [正式]
et cetera [正式,书面] 缩写为 etc.
I need some help getting ready for dinner, setting the table, and so on. 我需要一些帮助来准备晚餐,摆桌子等等。
这节课我们要学的是有几个词,当比我们年长的人问我们具体的问题时,如果单独使用这些词来回答,会显得不太礼貌。
比如:stuff
[a father to his son]
A: What did you do at school today?
B: Stuff.
A: 你今天在学校做什么了?
B: 没干什么。/ 就那些事。
* 这里儿子回答Stuff.不太礼貌,听起来像是:我不想跟你说/不想告诉你。I don't want to talk to you.
还有这些词:
(when,where,who,what,which,how 加上 -ever —>)
whenever,wherever,whoever,whatever,whichever,however
在别人对我们进行具体询问时,中文都可以说成“无所谓,随便”。
* 这些词本身不是不礼貌的。

当我们不知道或不记得某个东西的名字时,会说:
what do you call it?
它叫什么?

what do you call it?
如果我们不记得某个人的名字时,也可以这么说:
what do you call him?
what do you call her?
what do you call them?
他/她/他们叫什么(来着)?
这些句子还可以组成一个长名词,一般只是口语说的,不写出来,写出来会看起来有点怪:
what-d'you-call-it/-him/-her/-them
whatchamacallit 或 whachamacallit
等很多形式……
我们不知道或者忘记东西的名字时,thing 和 stuff 这两个词就很好使,这也是为什么 thing和 stuff 使用频率那么高,就像中文我们经常说“那东西,这东西,……的东西”一样。
举个例子:
我要擦窗户,问家里人擦窗户的工具放哪了,但我忘了那东西叫什么了,就可以说:
Where's the thing for cleaning the window?
擦窗户的东西在哪儿?
clean the window 擦窗户,清洁窗户
clean 打扫,清洁,使……干净
又或者:
最近天气干燥,我就想起之前朋友说ta用的护唇的东西很好用,我忘了是什么东西,就问ta:
What's that stuff you use when your lips get dry?
你嘴唇干的时候用的那个东西是什么(来着)?
use 用,使用
when your lips get dry 你的嘴唇(变)干燥时
请大家和我读
Where's the thing for cleaning the window?
What's that stuff you use when your lips get dry?
