来自主题: Parenting版 - 老师称呼学生为scum合适吗?
跟女儿聊天。
女儿说她们现在班上在做一个活动,班上同学分成几个小组乘船周游世界(当然是假装
),每个船上有captain和其他各种角色,老师是XX(teacher's name) Queen of
everything,老师只和Captain说话,我问她为什么,她说老师说She does not talk
to scums。
我一般不会在女儿面前批评老师,但是我觉得这个词不大合适,就问女儿这个词是不是
不太好,女儿说没有那么坏,大概就是指的peasants,当然女儿肯定是有些维护她的老
师的。
我回头查了一下,scum是一个很不好的词。
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scum
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scum
请问各位对于老师把这个词用在学生身上有什么看法?
说实话,我通过女儿的一些描述隐约感觉该老师有些dark side,比如之前在班上读的
书放的电影有些令人害怕。
我不想在女儿面前批评她的老师,因为对于她没有好处,不管她赞同还是不赞同我
的看法。但是我又不想女... 阅读全帖

如果要学的是美式英语,那么最好的步骤是这样:
遇到一个新词,首先查Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary,这是成年美国人

如果看不懂解释里的词(非常可能),那么去查Macmillan Dictionary for Students
(MDS),这是一本80年代出版的为中学生使用的字典,虽然年代有些老,但绝对是同类
