【英語】大學常見六種人，你係邊種？(1/2)
撰文： Natalie Kung(港學堂英語導師)
大學常見六種人，今次為大家介紹3種。Iron sharpens iron. Choose your friends wisely in university. (Like how?)
1. Hypocrites 偽君子Such kind of persons cast their nets wide just to secure an internship yet they never disclose their options. They will probably ask “Oh really it’s time for application?” If there is one thing I have to say to these people, that would be “Just because I don’t call you on it, it doesn’t mean I’m stupid. Shame on you!”
2. Free-rider
「拿, 呢樣加果樣咪搞掂囉 (意即邊樣?)」 到最後，佢其實冇做過任何野，只係轉下字型，執下format 咁。 「唔好意思啊，我呢排好忙啊，唔得閒research, 你可唔可以比少啲野我做啊？最後加埋我個名就得架啦~」
Free rider最正統的意思係乘便車既人，係大學既意思就係果啲面皮三尺厚既同學做project時唔盡責，卻希望憑著組員既力量攞好成績。
You could even transform the word into a “verb”. For instance, “You think you have contributed? You have simply free-ridden on your council members’ effort!”
There is simply no way to contact them during term time in preparation for the project. The little contribution they have towards the group is so trivial that person started to drop off your radar. At the end of the term you share the same grade with that person. Don’t smash the windows of your professor’s room, please.
3. Hunk/Goddess 男神/女神:
當你係「圖書館溫書溫到頭暈身㷫」（又或者唔係），啊女神突然走過來，用無比甜美既聲線同你講：「Alex, 你有冇上禮拜果堂既notes啊？」 其實，呢段只不過係一段好普通既對話，但你此刻覺得，就算女神要你免費比曬成個sem既sources，又冒住比人freeride既風險，你都會覺得值既！而當你個friend只不過係what’s app問你有冇上一堂既錄音時，你恨不得即刻離開個page，超級後悔睇左個message仲要冇整走個last seen。
No matter it is infatuation, obsession (or lust), you simply cannot take your eyes off your crush who may be a goddess or a hunk. Everything you do is just to catch the person’s attention. It is perhaps because of the subject your crush is doing, coupled with the person’s charisma. He or she may major in Medicine/Global business (you know, all those competitive subjects leading to a profession.) and look extremely pleasant to you. Your simply cannot stop trying to tease him/her (jokes).
Note: “Goddess” really means 女神, one who is admired by a lot of men chiefly due to her beauty. Sample sentences include “She was one of the screen goddesses who mesmerised tonnes of male audience.” Compared with “hottie”, the latter is normally used to describe a young attractive woman due to her alluring face and body figure.
A “hunk” is used to describe a built and sexually attractive men. Sample sentences include “He’s a typical hunk in our campus: stylish clothing with lots of girls around.”
很抱歉，一般大眾都認為男神／女神是儀表出眾的 (外貌協會？) 如果要形容一個較為全面的男人，你可以用 “prince charming”. 呢個字較著重一個人既性格特質，而且他們一般都為他人著想。
I bet you must have something exciting to say! Feel free to comment under my post.
