Confusing English – Angličtina Youradio Talk

Obtížné a matoucí jevy v různých oblastech angličtiny. Všichni se dopouštíme chyb – všichni, kteří se až v dospělém věku snažíme mluvit cizím jazykem, a angličtina dokáže být pro cizince obzvláště confusing.

 This happened 3-4 years ago, when we were in university, Charleene and I were in our dormitory, we were in the kitchen. And I was playing some Arabic music and there was this very romantic song, which I thought was very silly. When I described it to Charleen I said: “This song is corny”. And Charleen said: “Horny? Isn’t that the word you use to describe sex?”   I’m fluent in English - mluvím plynně anglicky dormitory - studentská kolej corny - sentimentální, přeslazený, otřepaný, banální, nazajímavý horny - nadržený to describe - popsat to aviod - vyhnout se embarrassment - rozpaky deal - dohoda, obchod meal - jídlo grave - vážný brave - statečný to rescue - zachránit to drown - utopit se  dust - prach rust - rez filthy -špinavý; sprostý   IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT WHAT SOMEBODY HAS JUST SAID, IF POSSIBLE ASK THEM TO REPEAT IT IN ORDER TO AVIOD POTENTIAL EMBARRASSMENT.
