【句子】Obviously, I'm just mortified over slapping you.

【Desperate Housewives S02E02】

【发音技巧】Obviously不完全爆破；just mortified不完全爆破；

【翻译】显然，扇你耳光的事情，我感觉很羞愧。

第一个我们先学一下slap的用法，英文当中slap作动词，后面可以跟宾语，当及物动词使用，可以表示“扇”这个动作。

比如说：

eg: She slapped his face. 或者She slapped him across the face.

她扇了他一耳光。

eg: She slapped him in his face because he had a sneer on his face.

因为他脸上挂着讥讽冷笑的表情，所以她扇了他一耳光。

你也可以这么用

把slap当做名词，有一个短语叫做：

a slap in the face

它的意思，其实就是目前网络语言经常说的“啪啪打脸”这个含义。

A slap in the face is an action or remark which insults and upsets you.

eg: It was a real slap in the face when she got promoted over me, especially after the amount of work I did on that last project.

上个项目我做的工作比她多，我没升职她反而升职了，真是打脸。

第二个我们说说mortified这个形容词的用法。

If you say that someone is mortified, you mean that they feel extremely offended, ashamed, or embarrassed.

这个形容词可以表示：“倍感尴尬的、非常羞愧的”等等这样的意思。

eg: If I reduced somebody to tears I'd be mortified.

如果我把别人给弄哭了，我会感觉到很尴尬。

eg: She was mortified to realize he had heard every word she said.

她很尴尬地发现，他听到了她说的每一句话。

eg: She was absolutely mortified to hear her son swearing at the teacher.

当听到她儿子骂老师，她肯定特别尴尬。
